Mr. Smith moved that proposition of P. Mulone to report tho proceedings of the convention, submitted in tho report of tho select committee, be accepted, Mr. Logan offered a aubstitule to the ef fect that it be accepted on condilien that the reporter consent to take the Federal Government for the pay, or that the indi vidual members pay him and contribute in proportion to the bulk reported for each one, to be eslimatod by the reporter and approved by the convention. Mr. Smith opposed the substitute, fol lowed by Mr. Kelly, respectively advo cating the propriety of adopting the origi nal proposition. Mr. Logan repliod. He urged that the people bad been assured by the passage of the law calling the convention that the Territory would not pay the expenses of holding It, and that now when it was gen erally conceded that Congress would not pay, that we should inour nothing more than was absolutely necessary. Williams wat opposed to employing a reporter because he thought that one re porter could not give a full and accurate report of the proceedings, and finally be cause he thought the Territory would have it to pay and he did not wish to saddle up on the State the expense. Tbe resolution and amendments were finally withdrawn, when (he house ad journed till Monday next. Monday, Aug. 24. Convention met pursuant to adjournment. The report of standing committee on boundaries camo up for its second reading. It was read and referred to the committee of the whole.

Meigs of Wasco, moved to take up the report of tho committee on boundaries, and moved to amend the same by run ning the eastern line of the Slate of Ore gon at or near tho summit of the Cas cade mountains. Dryer opposed the amendment was in favor of a big State, nnd went for taking in Utah if we couiJ get it. Mr. Smith agreed with ho gonlleman from Multnomah and Washington was in favor of a largo State. The Willamette valley was already full, nnd wo could not expect to hold out nny great inducements to immigration if the Stato should bo restrict ed to the Cascado Range. Wo would have no vacant lands out of which to so Icct the 300,000 acres to which would bo entitled upon our admission into the Un ion, if the amendment should prevail. Mr. Grover was opposed to tho amend mcnt. He said that tho proposed line would give us about 8000 squaro miles of arable land, making us one of the smallest Slates of the Union. Mr. Meigs felt that although deserted by his fi lends somo of whom had assured him of their support of his amendment- he ought as tho mover of the ntnondmcnt to give his reasons. First, the Cascades were a natural boundary a kind of bound ary which political economists have agreed ought to be observed. Mr. Marple of Coos didn't know what lo do wasn't sufficiently informed wanted light was inclined to believe that he would vote against the amendment. In a military "pint" of viaw ho thought it important that the eastern line of our State should reach to the Utah line. Mr. Olney meved that the committee riso and report. Carried. Committee rose and reported. On motion took a recess. Convention came to order at 2 o'clock, Mr. Kelley moved that the convention resolve itself into committee of the whole. Adopted Mr. Kelley Inking the chair. Mr. Grover moved to take up the report of the boundary committee, and the amend ment of Meigs of Wasoo making the Cas cades the eastern boundary of the State. Mr. Marple took the floor and finished his remarks. Mr. Grover took the floor, and displayed a map before the committee showing the geographical position of the Territory. . I he question waa taken on the amend ment, w hen it was lost. Mr. Farrar moved lhat the point of be ginning be one marine league west of the coast, so as to be co-extensive wiih thejuris diction of the United States, instead ef "on the coast" as in the original report. Mr. Farrar explained lhat the object of his amendment waa to give clear jurisdic tion to tbe State over all cimt occuring within aaid distaact. Mr. Lovejoy thought the amendment unnecessary. Mr. Olney wat In favor of the amend ment, and advocated it at length. Amendment adopted, 32 yeas, Olney moved to strike out all of the original and Insert a description which be presented. Smith moved an amendment to the ef fect that If Congress will not admit us into the Union with our boundaries at laid, shall have the privilege of altering iho tame, and advocated it at length. Mr. Marple raised a question of order. The chairman ducided that the amend mont was In order. Mr. Olney accepted the amendment. Mr. Watkint moved a substitute to the effect that if at any lime the majority of the voters of southern Oregon should desire it, that they might have the privilege of forming a new State in conjunction with a portion of tbe State of California. The chairman decided the amendment out of order. Mr. Lovejoy opposed the amendment. Mr. Smith withdrew his proposition. The question recurring upon the amend ment of Mr. Olney, Waymire was opposed to all crippling of the Stato thought thai we ought to be proud of the Willamolto valley because gentleman from the North and South were both trying to steal a part of it. Farrar was opposed to the substitute of Mr. Olney, and argued against it at length. Mr. Dsady of Douglas, favored tbe amendment and thought that the concur rent jurisdiction over the Columbia river with Ihe Territory of Washington, which it asserted, was proper and necessary. Logan was opposed to giving concur, rent jurisdiction to those States having a common water boundary with us, and ar gued at length against it. Mr. Applegnte rose to tho point of order that discussing the question of jurisdic tion was foreign to the subject of bound ary. The chair ruled against the point of order. Mr. Logan concluded his remarks when Mr. Williams roso and offered on amend ment. The discussion became very technical and subtle, and the convention grew quite impatient at the exposition which the learn ed members of the convention gave of iheir views. On motion of Mr. Smith, thecomroitteo rose reported progress and asked leave to sit again. On motion, the house adjourned. Tuesday, Aug. 25. Smith presented the petition of nnd 15 others praying the convention to so provide that any fu ture legislature may at any time with the consent of the people enact a prohibi tory law. Mr- Kelley moved to refer tho sntno lo tho standing legislative committee. Smith wished to refer it to the judiciary committee. IIo said prohibitory laws hud been repeatedly declared unconstitutional because they were believed by eminent jud ges to be infringements upon natural rights he was therefore in favor of referring the question to the committee best qualified to decide this vexed question of constitutional law. Williams thought the passage of a pro hibitory law entirely a matter of expedi ency, nnd honco ho was in favor of refer ring the question to tho legislative com mittee. Logan favored a reference to the judici ary committee. Smith replied to the gentleman from Marion urging tho propriety of his mo tion lo refer to tho judiciary committee. The vote was taken and the petition was so referred. Grover moved to discharge the com miltee of the wholo from the further con sideration of the ni ticlo on boundaries, and moved to recommit the same to the stand ing committee on boundaries. Farrar, Kelscy, and Marple opposed the recommitment, nnd respectively offered substitutes. Dryer moved the call of the house. Meigs of Wasco moved lo amend tho motion to recommit by instructing the committee to report the Cascade range as the eastern boundary of the State. Nays 52, yeas 2 Meigs and Deady voted in the affirmative. The report was finally re-referred to the committee on boundaries, with instructions to examine and report all the different prop ositions w hich members had submitted. On motion the convention took a recess till the afternoon. Logan moved to dispense with (he read ing of the article on the judiciary and to refer the same lo the committee of the whole. Carried. Smith, chairman of the committee on suffrage and elections, reported an article for the constitution embracing the same. It provides that all elections shall be viva voce till tho year 1965, when the legisla ture may substitute the ballot system. Keport read and passed to a second read ing. Smith moved that the convention go in. to a committee of the whole, to take up the business referred lo it. Convention resolved itself into tbe com mittee of Ihe whole, Mr. Smith in the chair. Mr. Kelley moved to take up theporl f the committee on miliiirv affair.. Carried. Mr. Deady moved lo strikeout ihe word "resident" before tbe word "citiien." Carried. Mr. Dryer moved lo tlrike out tho word free" before the word u white." lie did not want to have It understood by im plication that (here were whites here who were not free. Neither black nor white slavery yet existed in the country, and he hoped never would. Keltey opposed the amendment id if slavery should exist here that we might have some slaves as white as any member of this convention and he wanted no slave in the army with him. Dryer responded that probably the gen tleman from Denton was a fugitivo from slavery. Kelscy retorted that Dryer was a fugi live probably, as he seemed lo feel so great an interest in the getting of while slaves into tho ranks of Ihe army. Olney fuvored the amendment thought wo ought not to Indicate by implication that we had any other class of ci'izens than free whites and as this roport pro posed to exclude all otlior citizent except those, it virtually implied that others than free whiles might be citizens. Messrs. Kelley and Deady fuvored the amondmcnt. Question being taken, the amendment prevailed. Various other amendments were pro posed by different members, but were all lost,' and the report passed the committee without further amendment. Logan moved to report progress to the convention, and ask leave to tit again. Adopted. Committee rose and reported. On motion the convention went into committee of the whole on the judiciary report. The report was read. Williams moved the committee rise. -Carried. On motion, the convention adjourned till to-morrow. Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Boise from the committee on the legis lative department, mudo a report read, and passed to a second reading. On motion of Smith, the convention re solved itself into committeo of ihe whole on the unfinished business bsfora, ft. On motion, the committee took up the judici ary report. Mr. Farrar moved to amend by adding the words " or cities" at the end of the first section ; adopted. Mr. Logan moved lo amend by inserting the words "and municipal courts" at the end of the second word in the second line of tho first section. Mr. Olney opposed the amendment. Mr. Williams also opposed the proposed amendment. Mr. Logan replied to the gentlemen from Marion and Clatsop that Ihe gen tlemen had kindly informed us (hot they had been engaged in perfecting a judiciary system and the gentlemen seemed to be sensitive in regard to amendments and were not willing to have a single hair pull ed out of the head of their bantling. He intended, however, to do what ho could to perfect l lie judiciary, nstwiihstnnJ.ng it might detract a little from the merits of the report of the judioiary committee and he could not out of tenderness to the committee permit such a lame a Hair as this to pass without some attempt to correct it Farrar was in favor of tho amendment thought lhat municipal courts ought to be courts of general jurisdiction nnd of rec rd. The municipal courts of Boston and New iork were so. Mr. Oluey was opposed lo creating courts of general jurisdiction in the cities thought they ought to have power only to pumsli violations ef their ordinances and nothing more. Mr. Dryer favored the amendment said ho repelled the insinuation that he was prejudiced had confidence in the com mittee to a limited extent 1 1 Marplo was opposed to the amendment, Tho amendment was put and lost. The hrst section was then adopted. Mr. Boise moved lo amend the second section by requiring that each judge shall have resided three years in the Slate prior to ins election.

Mr. Boise wished lo remove all aspirants from the field who would prostitute Ihe honors of the judicial bench. . He wanted to have the qualifications of the candidates well Known ; amendment adopted. aiovea mat me committee use and re port; adopted.

Tbe bouse then resolved itself into com mittee of Ihe whole, Mr. Smith in the chair. Mr. llristow moved the blanks in ihe second section of ihe judiciary report be tilled with two years, ilw amendment whs rejected. Mr. Olney proposed an amendment test ing the sense of the convention aa lo the lurgth of the judicial term. Mr. Dryer moved lo refer the whole matter back to the standing committee Mr. Logan said ho believed lhat he and Mr. Primm (of Jackson) wa the only members who sailed uuder Whig colors who were on ihn judiciary committee. He said ihe report made was nH the one agreed upon by the committee, nnd he was in fuvor of sending back the bill so that a "decent respect" at least be paid to iho opposition members who aro on the com mittee If n numerical majority here in loud lo ride over the opposition rough. shod, let us know it, and if amendments for the perfecting of the judiciary offered by the opposition are to In Voted down without reference to their merits, then let us know it, so thai wo may not trifle away lime in making useless eudeovort to amend.

Lincoln's Speech. We publish this week the speech of Hon. A. Lincoln of II linois, delivered in the Stale House at Springfield, in reply to that of Senator Dou glas, on Ulah, Kansas, and the Dred Scott decision. It is unnecessary to tell any one from central Illinois who Abe Lincoln is, and lo others we may say lhat if there is any one in the Stale able locope wiih the "little giant" of black democracy, he is tbe man. Mr. Lincoln has served one term in Congress, and last year in the Republi- can national convention ran next lo Dayton for the nomination on the ticket with Fre mont. It is probable that he will succeed Douglas in the U. S. Senate, should the Republicans carry the Legislature next year. We agree in the main wiih Mr. Lincoln's views, and ask for the speech an attentive perusal, especially as it it a fair offset to Douglas's speech published in the pro- slaverv Metscncrer. - a X?" It will be seen by the proceedings of the Convention that our old friend F.G. Lockhart, from Coos county, has been re fused a seat in lhat body, while Marple, who was Jrregularly or illegally elected, supplants him. We must say to the hon'r of Kelley, Grover, Boise, Brittow, Smith, nd several other Drrn'-crst's lhat tbe stood by the tide of jitsilc, tt,,d favofej ine claims ot lockhart.

Never before was Now York in such a slate of anarchy, all growing out ef the recent enactments passed by the Legislature. On the eve. ning of July 11 a police force In quelling a disturbance were tet upon by a largo crowd of Germane. Tho polico used their revolvers and forced the rioters in disperse. Several persons were seriously injured, and all of Ihe police were more or lets wound ed four of them severely. The next night tho riot was resumed, when Mr Miller, a German, wh killed by a shot from a pistol supposed lo have been in the hands of a policeman. Ibis so ineenstj the Germans, that on Monday evening thoy turned out in strong' forco and x. pressed their determination not to allow ihe police to control -tho 17ih wnrd. The police kept themselves confined in ihe itav tion-hnuse for fear of violence. About If o'clock that night, after some parleying between the Coroner and ihe rioters,. Commissioner Draper ordered' a posse ef five hundred policemen lo clear the streets where the riolors wero congregated, which was done without much difficulty. Fvneiul of Ma. AIaucy.
