This report was gathered by Mr. Baynes from
his special agents located in each county in the
Territory, and Is considered to be very near
accurate The Let of June no reports had
come in as to corn, as the season was late.
Since that time, however, and during the past
week very favorable reports have been re-
ceived as to corn aud all small grain is excel
lent Your correspondents has recently re-
turned from through Aurora, Hughes, Minor,
Beadle, Sanborn, and portion of Hanson, and
finds corn doing very well. First planting,
however, laid several days before sprouting,
and the sophers did much damage and several
pieces had to be replanted. The acreage is,
however, going to be much greater than last
year, and the warm weather, together with
frequent showers, is making all kinds of yege-
tation grow very rapidly. Wheat in this vicin-
ity is very thick, and is from ten to twelve
inches high.
COLUMBUS, Oak, Special, June 19.-Crops are
thick but short for the season. Corn comes up
very slowly.
EVERYTHING SERENE.
HURON, Special Telegram, June 2O.-The
action which was clearly foreshadowed in the
dispatches of yesterday, was had at the session
OF the convention for division and statehood
held to-day Aside from such natural rivalry
as was necessitated by the choice of place for
the holding of the constitutional conv ention,
and that entirely good natured, tho delibera-
tons of the convention were singularly harmo-
NOUS and the line Of policy foreshadowed on
the day preceding the opening of tho conven-
ton rigidly adhered to. There has been no
ripple of disagreement, aud sin ali the
debate scarcely a reference to the cap
ital removal matter, none whatever to
political preference and little if any to the
claims or rights of either the Territorial gov
ernment or the portion of the Tertiary north
of the forty-sixth parallel in the convention
No difference of opinion ever was developed on
the question of the power of the convention 10
do just what it has done, and what it proposed
to do through the aid of the constitutional
convention which has been called The con-
vention was above the average in
auality, aud, taken as whole, supe-
rior in appearance and legislative ability to
the most of the State legislatures. The
foreign elementwas but sparsely represented,
and the delegates were largely lawyers, bust
ness men, newspaper editors and farmers, with
a liberal sprinkling of clergymen. The utmost
enthusiasm prevails over the result, and con-
fdence in the success Of the project A large
number of the delegates leave for home to-
night
TIE DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The convention met again this morning at 10
O'Clock, and resumed business Mr. Bailey
moved that the preamble of the ordinance and
the resolutions be accepted and adopted as an
admirable and clear statement of the situation,
and the motion prevailed. The remainder of
the ordinance was then adopted, except the
section fixing the time Of residence requisite
for tho ror1t to fnr al u,
tuition and convention. ten days. MIR. Hand
moved to fix this at thirty days Mr. Sa1nble
thought thirty days was safe and ten days. was
dangerous. and that with the thirty days clause
there would be no serious danger of cooniza-
ton. AIr. Winsor thought there might be dan
ger if it were on the adoption of the constitu
ton, but none on the simple question of dele
gate. A delegate from Douglass thought there
was danger even in that, as among the
subjects that undoubtedly would come
up was prohibition. Bartlett Tripp thought
thirty days was short enough time Mr. Fos
ter explained that the ten days clause was put
in for the benefit of soldiers who had made
their claims and were coming into the Territory
by regiments. L. M. Newman said that as
great safeguards should be thrown about this
election as any that ever might be held in the

frage.
