DETROIT, Oct. 19.-Last Tuesday night
the following tragica occurrence took place,
a short distance above this CITY. Five or six
Indians (Chippewas, we believe) were sitting
by their fire, when one demanded drink of
whiskcy from another who held a bottle be-
tween his knecs-he WAS refused, and imme-
diately drew his knife and killed his comradc.
who had denied him, by stabbing him in his
NECK The father o the murdered Indian, on
seeing the Fate Of his son, sprang upon the
murderer, seized him by the throat, bore him
to the ground, ndgavc him several stabs will,
a short knife Thinking he had killed him,
ne went TO sec his son, but no sooner had he
quit the murderer, than he sprang upon his
feet and fled. He has not been seen since.

self
COnrenti0n.-From the movements at AL
baoy We infer that the Convention will rise in
a week or ten days, probably at a shorter
period. The appointments for the city are to
be divided between the people and the Com
mon Council, which, al least, insures a respon-
sIblhty commensurate with the trust. The
review offtle entire proceedings of the Con-
ycniiOn viii be the work Of time. A fair and
candid examination will be called for, and the
issue will shew whethcrlhe state and the re-
publican party have both been benefited
That the Constitution will be confirmed and
adopted by the people, there car be no doubt
The right of suffrage, though more extensive
than originally contemplated, will, neyerthe-
less, secure an overwhelming majority, while
the abOlshins of the Councils of Appoint
mcnt and Revision, will purify our Legislative
department, ard render Albany more tranmlil
during the session. NJ v Nat. .4Iy.

proceeded to sum up and consider the various
amendments which had passed in the com
rnttee of whole. The first was the qualified
negative given 10 the governor on the passage
oi aliiaws, which is substitute for the coun-
cii Ofreyison. This ,cns 0doDfed. The second
was ordering The general election throughout
the state to be held in the months of October
or November, as the legislature shall direct,
instead Of April, as at present. This 1cds also
