JACOB BARKER's CASE

On former occasion, we mentioned
that Jacob Barker was to be heard again.
at the present term of the sessions, on q
motion In arrest of Judgment--he having
been convicted of sending CHALLENGE tn
David Rogers. Thursday having been
assigned for final hearing on the cues.
ton, he put his cause on the repeal Of the
Duelling Law by the new constitution.
which declares all laws rehugnant TO mai
constitution a6rogdfed. That constitution
secures to the people all power not spe-
clally delegated it prohibits the disfran.
chising citizen except by law of the
land, and ii allows the legislature to pass
laws DISTINGUISHING citizen Tor an infa.
nous crime.
Mr.. Barker contended that TO send a
challenge to fight duel was not, in the
eye OF the law, an infamous crime: and
as the duelling law DISTINGUISHED the citi-
zens to great degree, and establishes a
test oath expressly forbidden by the CON.
stitution, 1t was therefore repuenaDt to
the constitution, and consequently abro.
gated. The implication of law, said he,
is that as the subject had been considered
and settled by the convention, for what
cause the legislature had power to dis.
franchise the citizen, they could not do so
for any other cause. Besides the mower
had never been delegated by the people.
therefore reserved. A question arose
whether the new constitution was in effect.
and after some discussion it appeared to
be conceded that as the law related to the
right of suffrage, il took effect on the Is,
day of March, and that to send chal.
lenge, was not, legally speaking, an infa-
nous crime.
The opinion of the court will not be
given until the close of the term. A full
report is in preparation. which will be
published in due season.

passage through one of the gates Of the
city, which was Immediately after closed
upon him and his followers. He pene-

himself with such gallsntry that they
consented TO open the gates and let him

ANOTHER DUEL.

The following is the postscript of a
letter received in New York from Au-
gusta, Geo. dated May so. The provo.
cation was so great, that we presume the
challenger felt his honor grossly tarnish.
ed.
p. s. Day before yesterday, in the
morning, duel was fought on the oppo-
site side of the river in S. G.. between a
couple of young men from Milledgville,
lawyers by profession, by The names of
Hepburn and Howard, the former of
which fell MORALLY wounded and expired
the next morning, he was shot through
the abdomen. The cause of the duel
originated from some disrespect or insult
from Howard towards young lady at a
public ball, which was nothing more than
refusing to give or withdraw his hand
from the lady in performing some part
ola cotillion where it was necessary their
hands should be connected, which How.
ard asserts was in retaliation for the
same insult put on him by the lady in the
same way lev moments previous. The
lady being partner to Hepburn, he re-
sented the supposed insult, challenged
Howard, fought, and fell. fCom, ,Hdv.

NEW METHOD OF RIGGING SHIPS.

NEW METHOD OF RIGGING SHIPS.
Lieutenant Allen of the navy, has de-
viscd plan by which ships standing rig.
giDg may be taken down and again re-
placed in part or in whole, in port or a,
sea, with great facility and without dis.
turbing the topmasis or yards, which is
particularly beneficial as it enables ma
riner in gale TO replace a7lost shroud
with, as much ease as he can replace any
article Of running rigging. Ii also saves
much injury TO the mast heads and to the
rigging, which both are subject 10 by
placing the eyes of the shrouds and stays
over the mast heads. For this valuable
improvement Lieut.. Allen has received
patent from the president under the
great seal of the United States, and the
new ship John Wells, has been rugged on
this plan. .Nezo York Com. .zdv.

SUNDAY MARKET.

IL mas been customary TO keep our pro-

is custom which has existed for SO long
a time, and one of so much advantage and
Importance to certain classes that we do

and, if we have not been misinformed, it
has lately been thought necessary to open
one in Philadelphia. Several Intellectual
attempts have been made to dispense
with 1t here; and writer has, in the 4,h
page OF to>day's paper, renewed the sub.
Ject. The only fault that we have to find
's,that the market hours during the winter

SHOCKING TO HUMANITY I!

On Tuesday, the 4th inst. the body OF
a man was seen floating past this place,
which, we since understand, was picked
up near the Bluff, and showed evident
marks of the most Thurman outrage
His legs were apparently cut off by the
knees. His hands were also gone, and
his head laid open. The body had no
other clothing on than red flannel shirt.
We suPposeit 10 be the body of some
poor unfortunate sailor, who, through an
indulgence, perhaps, of improper habits
has come to an untimcly death. We
hope this example will have tendency
to caution others as 10 what company
they keep, as we are inclined to think
that this circumstance has been the re-
suit Of inebrie,y and midnight revelry.
