The Chambersburg Repository, Pi cir- .
cling around over the election of Gen. 1
Cameron, has hit up >n tt m >re sensible
hobby, to wit, Legislative Reform, and
advocates some 111 en ares whiei; will com
mand public intention a.- both wise and
prudent. It proposes tt call fir a Consti
tutional Convention 17>r the purpose of
making tiie following tun lamental pro
visions :
1. That the is eve-. shall consist of one \
hundred member -, to be chosen by single j
districts.
2. That the h >use of Representatives
shall consist of f-> ir ban Ire ' members,
eacii to be elected in a sin :i" district.
3. That-all legislation relating to corpo
ration interests shall be by general laws,
and that 11 > special charters or corporate
privileges whatever .shall be granted but
by the courts.
4. That there -i -.11 h 1 no special appro
priation of money from the treasury to
claims except up >n a judicial finding.
•3. That the members of the legislat ire
shall be paid five dollars p -. -1 iy, for the
period of sjxtvdev-: and !•<> prohibited
from appropriating to themst Ives any ad
ditional sum for protrac.ed sessions, or for :
extra or atljournctl sa—ion - beyond sixty
days in the year.
". That no subordinate officer shall he
appointed in either branch, or receive any
compensation for services, unit s- a biii
shall have lieen pass- 1 i y I•.>t!i brancho
creatiug the office and defining ii- duties.
7. That no hi'l of any kind >h.:!i pass
either branch without receivings major
ity of the whole vo'.e on a cell of the yea?
and nays.
i our hundred member* is perhaps a
larger body than would 1 ■ needed; but
there can be n<> que*rion that '.n increase
of members would do much towards
bringing the Legislature nearer the peo
ple, and be an effectual safeguard against
log-rolling, bribery, or lobby Icgis-lutioi:.
One member for ev, ry l''.o.'Minhahita , .tis
with an adtlition. 1 >o •f>r a f.n -ii i over
.1,(10'), would make about 3"" nicmbers ft r
the lower hou* ■ at | re-vat : ami then eacii
county ought to have one Feimtor and an
ndtliti. nal on ■ for every 2-3.">-> of popuh -
lion over and ab vo that nun;! or. With
two such 'ooi.Jjc: meeting foi a lii..iretl
time, with lixetl pay, there would U no
room for outside influent. ; and as no
log-rolling would h ■ re; d- d. every local
interest in the S. e would Im* oulv repre
sented. ' 1
I'iisniCs c ?!;
Mr. l)eist: lately introduced a Dill in the
Legislature prohibiting the issue of free
passes by railroad companies under a pen
alty 01 c >'• for each offense. 1 his would
hardiv i u:ed\ toe matter, as those who
uo a great deal of traveling aid readily >
afford to pay the tine. It is pi rhap-- not
advisable to do away with passes alto
gether. from the very nature of the busi
ness of such roads, but at the same ti me
tlrcre is amp! • rown for reform. In the
Course of a eorr* • p--n-L-r.ee wo- :ac weeks
ago made a suggestion to a railroad em
ployee wlveh . ti -sienar da< a "novel- 1
ty, ' and on : wilier reffvtion ovt-r it we
came to the conclusion that our sugges-|
lion was not only feasible 1 ut might af
ford the groundwork for an • xeellent law.
Let Mr. I>. or - me otlr r lnciiih. r than
up a Viiil prohibiting the issue of indefi
nite fro pass. - to a;! persons except offi
cers or empi yc-es of roads, and requiring !
ah others to i>e issued on the commutation
principle, that is. giving so mmy miles of ;
travel in one year and no more. Three
round trips ought to be the extent of such
privilege on any road. This would give
a ticket on the .Pennsylvania Ilnilroad for
about 2000 miles oi' travel; and we think
the public, ami perhaps railroad compa
nies, will agree with us that any "dead
head" who travels more than this, wheth
er on business or for pleasure, ought to
pay like other people. So fur as their is
sue is concerned, it would leave railroads
untrammeled as they arc now, while it
would place all who received them on an
equality. Ihe system lus been much
abused, so much so that railroad compa
nies have been compelled to ro-ort t>> a
combination for its partial suppression;
and at no time could a legislative enact
ment come into better play than now
when all concur that there is "something
rotten In Denmark."
Gh u* fn! Grunt. —lt is not doubted that
General < <rant is greatly solicitous about
the pre-ent condition of affairs. and that
the representations of such officers as
Sheridan, Heintzehnan, Ord and GHmore,
in reference to tin- disaffected and deliant
condition of the rebels, are rapidly i.rintr
ing him to the opinion that the most rad
ical measures are the wisest and most
moderate.
The Coal Trade.

26th January, (by the by one of our most

Mephens ui' Georgia.
Our readers will probably recollect a
a unionspe-. chiuade by Alex. 11. Stephens
of Georgia about IStJO, in which be de
clared the South had no cause for rebellion
against the government. His life, speech
es, frc. was lately published by the Na
tional Publishing Company of Philadel
phia, and not a few will be surprised to
learn that President Lincoln, af er his
election, wrote Mr. Stephens a letter re
questing a copy of that celebrated speech.
Mr. .Step.hens replied, and touched on pol
itics. To this the President elect replied,
stating distinctly that the Southern states
had nothing to fear from him or the re
publicans respecting their slaves, and that
the whole difference of opinion seemed to
be whether slavery ought to be extended
or restricted to where it existed. On this
7dr. Stephens launched out in a long re
ply, abounding in the worst doctrines of
nullification and secession as advocated
by the most infamous fire-eaters. Those
who used to give Mr. Stephens credit for
unionism on the strength of the speech
rcfered to, will now be compelled to set
him down as not a whit better tliau Jel
Davis.
Petition-; are in circulation in< hos
ter and the adjacent counties, to be pre
sented t: the i.egi -lature, asking tin- re
peal of all lav -- taxing moneys at interest,
i'liere i- no law in force which is more
evaded than this, and as it seems impossi
hle to get honest returns, the few who do
return such moneys ought to be released,
:is they pay from J. to 3 per cent, more
taxes than those who ray thev have none
out.
Kansas.
Extracts from a letter to t lie editors of
the Gazette, dated
MANHATTAN*, Riley Co., Kansas,
January lsth, ISG7.
Sirs:— Allow me through your p tperto
give a small idea of this part of Kansas.
The Kansas, Kuw and Blue rivers junc
tion at this place, making this in many
respicts an important pi are for business.
The county seat is established here, and
likely to remain. Back from the river
are thrown up Bluffs or ridges of ruck and
sand, f: >ni 5 i to 3iiu feet high, without a
tree or bush, making good views. Back
of these ridges are prairie- and timber, in
places settled by men from Pennsylvania
and almost every other State. Many that
(•ante lu re M to 15 y< ais a, . are rich, tile
emigration and -ettlenient of tin - eountrv
having made t hem we. ltliy. I have seen
elderly folks that came a ww yea IN hack
very much dissatisfied, and say thev ic; 1
as if they had left home to coin west.
Xo one ought to come without expecting
disappointments, and with a full iurentot
steering iiis own way through ; in no other
way can any one get along in the west
ern country. Building stone are plenty,
of which there are four ctii stun - churches
erected in this place. Episcopal, Bantist,
Methodist and Conor gational.
The Pr> -byterian mini tcr, II -v. Alex.
Smrrett. one of the v.ay best of minister-,
preaches in a Hall and i> building u>,
congregation, and in time will h ; ve a
church. Tim Stab- Agri-ultural C'-llege
is e-tabli-hed here with overonc htimired
studeiii - in attendance, and a prospe-. t of
being one of the foreino.-t >i'hoo!s in the
States. There is a land grant of ninety
thousand aer-'s to the colic e. When de
veloped fully it will amount ;o a 1 ir.re
sum. Every branch of be-in- s and j
trade are fully represented, and at this
time dull 1 the elimate h" dthy and pic is
ani. People live and die a- in IVniis .!-
vania. The Pacific Railroad passes thro'
this place, doing a large freight and pas
si'iiger tiaiic, getting a good portion from
tlii- point. We have the pleasure of
