CLOSINS HOURS OF THE Lei ompton, K.

Nov. The intense effort and anxiety of a protraatcd otrafgle bad thrown a lassitude over the Conven? tion and its members. The subject at issue once deteiuiioed, it as difficult to keep the delegates together, or to keep them at work. a few, whose acute perceptions of their own suitableness for the task kept them at work, toiled at tha fag cud of what Father JkOoe, the Cbap'ain would have atyled their "useful and graceful labors." The night, outside of the ball, was dark I a wending my way up for the closing night session, iaapetetrable was the gloom that nothing short of the luminous body I was approaching could have enabled me to reach tbe place in safety. The twinkling lights of the grog-shops were only beacons to mark the rocks and shoals whore mariy a mortal craft had foundered.

As I passed thirty yards from one of these, 1 heard the noise of a rcgu'ar threats, blows and a crush, which I stibffquently ascertained was the demolition a chair over the head of one of the belligerents. Not deeming it my particular province ti Inquire wb? ther the damage bad been inflicted ou the occipi tJs bregmatis, or lnmbdoidal suture, 1 went by, tike the Pharisee, on the other side, bearinc some? body jell befoie 1 out of ear-shot: 111 in a Southern lights man, by I'll stand up for the of tbe South henever I met a group, it was a croup of drunken, or partially intoxicated men, and the sound of profanity was the only indication that humanity was in the darkness. The hall was not verj brilliantly lit up. It is a filain room td some twenty-five by forty feet, ptr ially tilled with tables covered with black cotton niouruiug, 1 aippooe, for the demise of Snpular representative government. The hall ozen candles in the room gave a dim Rgbtj like the acetic of a badly managed magic lantern.

Some of tbe honorable members sat, and some them stood, and some marched about. Most of the Hitter- tl td their feet projected up, some of tboffl at an angle of forty-five degrees, while, from lit incoim ler tbk number, wreaths Of towfifOO inaohe were se.it grace? fully up. wore on, several members itlwfafced themselves on the of the tables, like Mb thai bad not found lav or. It became clearly evident tbat the majority cf those pie-cut bad teile MM to something to drink," and not a few, by their rather eccentric walk and indi? cated that they must bate been the recent participants in a spiritual circle. At onetime, a resolution was olieml to increase the pay of their eflieial reporter, and, on a motion to lay it on the table, the President announced the question thus: Tbe question is to la) the reporter on the table." poor reporter was accordingly thus dealt with, but, as they had already voted with tKit aftiaiofi the task tor which he bad eu aaTjadoiiai, koeould lie there romplaceiitly.

The Committee to the together made a few very radical amend? such as making the hoo! Township MMeVhtWO1 one for the State. On the final passage td the whole of tins iMOaki instrument, only 8H aftriiiative could be tttoitsoil And thus it was the Constitution of tbe mioorityof a Conveution. while the speakers of that Convention, bj their own debates, admitted that the were ted bt one tiftli or one seventh of the people. Among the rioting scenes, were the usual coinpli inentary rese'luti- n- and apoicnns. Among th-so tbe remarks the Presnleut wt re aa signilicaat of tbe cbaravb-r I lhi? ouveiitiou as amisaiog.

He said: Conventi' met nodi tbe circ njtj stances. Elected by but a sm-ili vott, and Ibeb authority to act ceBsd in (jiie'ticii by a lawlest set of men who had got into tl is lVrrit.iy; ocarce'y ab'e to get a quorum, and fir iura1 time witb at one; the threatened, and naCSf taia what u.omect a lawless set of would take their i.eo. ssi'ateil to got the nulit ary ir thiir protection; yet nnder all these circumstances thev bad Roer od ard i either turned to tbe right hand nor to ths (eft. bnt bad framed a Constitution for tbe State of Kastas." No wonder the President fomplimented them for their rxouM ss in persevering under circumstances so "embarrassing." Ihe ice-President, or Presi deot pro did cot rise to cotnpl'ineut theiu or bimself, but to give assurances in the mutt eoteann tones, before hi- God," lor the pun't of his in tives, and that he had not been bought nor cor? rupted. At leegth the fire of partisan dutt burned down in its socket, and several of the oaawSeS .1 ovtnked out, wbeo tbis txdv completed ks ksii rs.

Some of st ge st they have will tale the ttump, not oo nmrh to make eeevertass to he an apparent expla? nation of tbe k'ud of ejection tbey have. A Free-State Convention wul be celled to determine what action it io belt to take in view of these elections. There bee been some ihe par.

week abeut pegro-burite. Several ago, paijiee of drafcfK.rii went up wit. a civil e.flicer te Topeka. seeking runaway negroes fron aaouri. A party bad been op there a week before on tbe same errand, and bad considerably outraged pu'ar sentiment by their violent mode of searching be um On this latter occasion, the civil officer re? ferred to was our o'd friend Butcher, ex-SheritF of Douglas County, who received the e.ffi'C Deputy Marshal the Democratic function iry sent here by Buchanan.

Mr. Butcher, true to his in? stincts, led a company of drat up to Topeka in his necrr -Lnrttir (perations. Having conceived it to be necessary to the eueeees of bis mission, ke left pert of his military force, sod. taking six dra proceeded to the house of Mr. Ritchie Offtt it place, there demanded admittance Mr.

Ritchie, having an idea of squatter sovereignty of his own, threatened to shoot any one who n. gbt venture to come in Upon tbis. the irfleYetigsbie Butcher went after the remainder of bis dragoons, and prtx-eeded to force open the door and make gbod a search of the premises. No was found, however, there or elsewhere, and bootless and negroless the Demo-retic party went the way it came. Upon the whole, I think it will be better for the elegant Butcher and his cotemporanes to con? duct these Democratic'' proceedings in a milder form, unless tbey want to get into trouble.

A consie'rrhbie amount ef feeliDg exhibited by the Free-State men at the result of tbe IV-Si r.ery Lecunpton Convention. A feeling of rage is toe most common. At Topeka, when the got intelJiirerce of what was done, some of them openly talked tigbt. The Free-State men bad porarily lulled into security by supposing that they had in tbe late struggle settled tbe matter. You ii.ay imagine their feelings, then, when tbey see the fruits of tie October election thin jeopanlei, and their impudent enemy stepping in to rob tiiem even yet of their richte.

Cold, bleak weather has set in. Yesterday, a slight mow fell. Kansas River is very lowj it is alreadj frozen up toward its sources. Building is still carried en brisk'y in Lawrence, and a eonsid erable amount of business is done. The commer oial difficulties do not seem lo business ma? terially.

Prices of everathing are hiebe than at this season last year. Provisions are likely to be dear this Winte r. Tbe Missouri R.ver navigation will probably dose in a few weeks. There is not much doing in real estate or town speculations, although prices are nearly tbe aame. I io not be uneasy about the hich tell you that Oct.

Walker and Secretary StanNn are likelv to he murdered by Border Ruffians. They are per? fectly safe, in that quarter at least. I also think that the Low line about Gov. Walker on part of fire-eaters elsewhere, is merely a part of the same sehe me to cover up the iniquity of this ConstHu ti' nal vement. I orseive tiiat some of the Eastern Democratic journals take up and cireoJate a report tint armed men came from Nebraska at the October election and voted the Free-State ticket.

This was like a g-oed many of tbe ftories that the defenders of Kan? sas Derrocraoy get up. The story was a very slujiid one. By refefriugto the results, its absurdity will be-seen. The thren counties bonleriog on Ne? braska tare Brown, N'einaha and In Bre.wn. only some'." I votes were cast in one third of hat the oanty could have polled.

In Ne maha, only oue-third of which are Pro-Slavery. In neither county was the lull vote out In fact, there weie only some two or three precincts opened in both of tbcm, consequently many votes were loot In Marshall County, the result shows 961 Pr Slave ry vote- to ore Now, in wbi )h of the-se couDtieg did the "three or four hundred armed men from Nebraska" vote I About tbe Mar? shall County veito I bave learned, what I at first suspected, that the I'ree-8tate men at the Black Vcrniiliein and nnotber precinct threw between two and three hundred votes. AtMirshall, where there arc not twenty voters, a vote of if) was ide up and returned, ard, as the officials got bold of th'j returns from the other precincts, they suppressed them. THE MORMON REBE!
