FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. IS, 1896.

Confempts ~ Courts.--lt will be seen by reference
to the Legislative head, that the subject of Contcnps
again before the Legislature. The motion to
slider was carried by nearly the majority that
threw out the first bil!hus proving that that bill was
objected 10 for its details, and that large majority of
the House Of Delegates is in favor cgsapg the
subject We rejoice at the prospect thus afforded Of
trammcling arbitrary power. Whether abuses have
occurred or no. under the present powers of courts
over coDtempts, is m.natcrial-we go for the broad
doctrine Of limitation TO power, the foundation
stone OF our Government. They might occur, and
before any shield could he n,crposcd between the ven
tgeancc of a Judge and the fortune and liberty Of
citizen The idea that Judge any other man, is
10 be exempted by his official dgaiiy from that per.
sonal responsibility and classcmeut, which all other
gentlemen 10 gentlemen, AMI which even Judge
may sometimes deserve is abhorrcnt TO republican
equality.
The following the chief provisions Of The bill
read by MIR. Wilson of Cumberland, when the motion
TO suspend The rlc of The House 10 fake this subject
again under delibcrntion was under consideration.
That when in the discharge of his or their otfciai
dutes, any Judge Court shall be offered any per-
sonai insult, inIeccncy other ndignty calculated
or intended to Interrupt the administration OF justice
or bling hc Court into dsTespcct, ii may and shall lie
lawful for the Judge Justice Court 50 insuIted 10
order such offender into custody and close confinement
until the offender offenders enter into recogu lance
70 abide the trial, after directed TO lie had. The Com
moliwea!i!''S Attorney is directed TO file an iniorma
ton, which shall be tried "i@dcneano;, by Jury
at tie next court for the county in which The offence
is committed. If The jury find verdict of guilty, they
shall impose the fine aud imprisonment, not to exceed
(tie time aud amount fixed marina by the bill left
blank
The bill further declares, that no insult indccencv
or ndsnty, offered 10 Judge Justice, not actually
engaged IN HE discharge Of h,s qciM duties, shat be
considered or punished as contempt-an admirable
provision, and necessary to keep down nobility and pr
viicged orders among us.

Conceniion.--'fhe Connittce OF "a has al lensiht
reported on the subject of calling Convention, and we
refer 10 the Legislative head for synopsis of the

1t comes before the General Assembly in Thy same
shape formerly Wili you permit the sense of the
people TO be taken Convention by the Sheriff. at

that Assembly which has often and onourably dis.
tinguished itself in advocating The suprcmeucy and
rights Of the people, SHOULD hesitate in yielding to

opinion. Even The foes of Convention, ouc al to Law
down their opposition, when it conflicts with higher
principle and trust that TO the people which can
only be withheld from them from want OF confidence
in their judgment. The present Constitution presents
no means by which il can be amended and it is oby-
ousy impossible without Legislative facility to orga

Notwithstanding the ioi midable minority who voted

on Wednesday, tie substance OF which follows:
The Committee report, that in this CITY, the inspec-
ton is attended with great and loss though they
have not been able TO ascertain the amount of the loss
but they report the fact that one individual has pur
chased within the last eighteen months, EIGHTY
THOUSAND POUNDS of loose tobacco at price
fixed by tie Inspectors. This amount about seventy
hogshcads, is of subsractcd from the pocket
OF tic piancr) They report further, that the same
lnd' Iduai bad purchased in year $4,000 lbs OF
tobacco at ShoclSoe warehouse alone. The causes
assigned for this ''cnormous loss are-1. Drafts IA
ken from the hiIs. TO distribute among buycrs-2
Trimmings cut off by the inspector for damage from
green hiids &c-3. Smokers and chewors supplying
thenselves-and 4. Probable depredatica
To remedy this evil, the committee recommend flat
the Sd inspector be required to attend the breaking of
tobacco, the better speyj,iend the opening ard re-
oPcnng-thot The tobacco should be weighed before
stripping, and the inspectors made liable for all loss
over 10 lbs which amount the committee thinl suli

They do not concur in tie opinion strongly express.
