Mr.. Martin explained that the pur-
port Of this amendment was to make
the Governor, the Auditor, and the Sc
cretary Of the Commonwealth the COM
missioners, and that it exactly followed
the Arkansas law. Talk about politics,
doesn't this take the whole matter out Of
politics? And it elevates gentlemen
whom you have put into power. Talk
about the "two Houses electing -
they will not elect. King Caucus will
elect. Create this proposed Board, and
you save the salaries, Different, &C.
in all about $4,000 per annum. But
you say {" the railroads will have to foot
the BILL" They ought not to be so re-
quired. The commissioners ought not
to be paid by the railroads; they ought
to be independent Of all railroad in
fuence.

FREE TEXT-B BOOKS.
DR.. George W. Dame offered the fol-
lowing:
Pesolred, That in the opinion Of this
Conference the free gift Of textbooks
to the pupils of the public schools is
inexpedient, and would subject the
State to waste more hurtful than the
cost of the books would be to the
Treasury, and that the lengthening Of
the school session to the amount Of
money that the free gin Of books would
cost would be much greater blessing

the promise publicly made in the can

u. b. French made strong speech in
favor of repeal and announced himself
ready to go to the extreme in the move
ment and get as near to the front as his
ability would permit. All he wanted
was the assurance that the legisla.
ture and the state officers were ready to
do their duty in the premises. He said
he was satisfied the people were ready
to sanction repeal and he was therefore
for 1t. He declared that General Camp.
bell was right in the enunciation OF
statehood doctrine, that he represented
the views OF the majority in Yankton
county and that he (Frepcb) was pre-
pared to go as far in ultra doctrine as
Campbell. The temper OF the commit.
tee was indicated in the frequent and
hearty applause which greeted Mr..
French's remarks and the congratula-
tions he afterwards received.
The afternoon discussion indicated
that considerable majority of the COM
mittee is favorable to repeal and it

it was agreed, by vote of eleven to
eight, to recommend to the conBtitn-
tional convention and the legislature
the repeal OF the restricting clause in the
schedule of the constitution. The con-

The situation ut Huron IL somewhat
exciting. The constitutional conven-
tien has repealed the provision in the
schedule which shackled the legislature,
and portion of the members of the
latter body seem to have become alarm
ed at the freedom thus given them, and
ran away. They are. apparently, afraid
to trust themselves. The repeating OF
the restrictive clause does not demand
anything from tho Legislative body. 1t
simply leaves the members free to act as
in their judgment Keg eeem best for the
interest and welfare of the people, and
relieves the members OF the convention
from further annoyance and RESPONSE
bility. The legislature is now in q
position where 1t can exercise Legitimate
funotions-when occasion requires. The
breath of life has been breathed into it
and 1t has become sovereign. All that
is now demanded is that it shall use it's
freedom with prudence and wise dis
cretiOn,
