Mr.. Coombs offered the following resolutions:
Rcsolred That the standing committee on the
Judiciary be ins,ruc ed toinquirc into the exPedi.
ency Of 20 amending the laws on the subj tot
prosecuting attorneys, as to abolish the present 7
system, and provide for the appointment OF one
prosecuting attorney for each Judicial Circuit
r led, That said committee also inquire into
the eXpeGency of creating, by law, the office ot
Attorney General for the State. .'ss. .- I'd. ~
Mr.. Ewing moved TO strike out the second reso-
luton. lie did not believe in the multiplication
Of officers
Mr. Kelley was in favor of creating the Office Of
Attorney Grneral. He much opposed as
amy one to the unnecessary multiplication Of oft-
GERS, but he Believed that the appointment OF an
Attorney General was necessary.
Mr. Ewing could not entertain the idea that
there was ne ecessity for the erection of new Of
iccrs. If the new bank law had made such u
measure necessary, it was another evidence Of its
evil influence.
MIR. Utcr was opposed to the first resolutions. ,
Fie also believed that there was officers enoughin
the State now. The democratic party passed laws
restraining and regulating the banks, which would
render the creation of additional officers unneces-
cary; but he understood that, by the operation of.
the law, those laws were not now in exist
ence.
Mr.. Edgerton opposed The first resolution.
since il was in direct opposition to the fundameht-
al principles of government, which secured TO
the people the right of electing their own Of
iicers. The tendency Of this resolution was to
take from that power-power that was constantly
leaving the hands Of the many, and concentrating
into the hands of the few. He was in favor OF
the election of all officers by the people. He
should oppose this measure at itsfirst inception
Mr.. Coombs explained, that this was but
resolution of inquiry, bat that he intended soon
to introduce bill 10 take from the people the
election of Prosecuting Attorneys. He contend-
ed hai the present system was more expensive
than if the Prosecuting Attorneys were appoint
ed in districts; besides, there were many Pro-
scouting Attorneys, whom he knew, that were
totally incompetent to discharge the duties OF
their Office
Mr.. Edgerton rejoned, that the people had as
good right to elect their Prosecuting Attorneys
as TO elect their Governor. lie opposed TO
the appointing power The appointing power,
was in the hands of the people, and it should not
| be taken from them; but It the principle Of
the whg party to take power from the pc pie.

LIE CHILD AND TIE ECHo.-Llttle
Charles knew nothing Of an echo. Once, as
he was playing by hilnseIfn field, he cried
ou', lIo! Hop!'' And Immediately a
voice from a liitle wood close by repeated,
" llo! Hop"
Being surprised at this, he called out,
"Who are you?" The same answer was,
"Who are yon?" On this he cried out,
" You're a stupid fllIow!"-and "Stupid fel-
low!n, was of course the answer.
At this Charles being much displeased
began TO call all the abusive names he could
think Of, and these same expressions all seem.

such insolencc." he muttered, shut iii re-
venge myself; and he ran up and down a.
mong the trees, trying TO find out the sup
posed offender, but he could see nobody.
Vcxed and disappointed, he fastened home
and told his mother that bad boy had bic
himself in the wood, and called all sorts o
names. His mother smiled and shook her
head.
"Now you hpvc betrayed and complained
of yourself, Charles; for you must know You
heard nothing but your own words repeated
AS you have often seen your own face re.

And in this was not mistaken. For a few
hours afterwards, Death unfoded its black
wings to close his earthly suffering, and pre-
pare him for the Observation-Disclosures
Oh, what an awful period it is when the in-
mortal spirit fingers on the shores of Time in
the last moments of its earthly existence. Then
sad thoughts cross the mind and shade the
heart, and we feel the force of that sentiment,
"Death NAL es towards ofus all" In that event
ful Crisis, It's sweet TO repose on thornless pill
low,-to listen to the fiutterlng wings of angel
spirits, impatient to bear away the Jewel to
gllsten IN the casket of the skies; but hoyrd in
deed, to rest on bed of thorns when the death
shades are gathering thick and fast, skirted with
no bright beams of an Immortality of bliss, but
backened with an eternal lifetime of anguish
and rcmorse. The destiny of an immortal be-
ing will soon be fixed forever; il is now strug-
Cling to he released from its prison house of
clay. Tell me, oh, tell me, when the agonies
of life are past, what will be its doom, its r-
revocable fate? These questions, so momen-
touS and important excited my mind, when
gazed upon the spark ofte, swiftly waning and
going out. 1t was Il melancholy hour, one that
will cast sombro shadows over my spirits, when
ever the death bed scene Of the maniac arises
on my mind. Could every lover of 'strong
drink" have beheld the tortured victim with
ing under the anguish Of its thousand stings,
and those burning, gnawing, corroding pangs,
too keen for Ttterance, yet too deep for death;
could they who are now charmed by the magic
spells of the insdous serpent, have looked
upon him then, methinks that they would dash
away the damning bowl, and swear eternal ha-
tired TO its influence. But he has passed away
from the earth. In yonder ''charnel house"
may be seen the mauacs lonely tomb, where
a few attentive friends laid him down to rest.
No tears have been wept there, save from the
skies; and no signs have sadly fingered there,
save the sad cadence of wintry winds There
is no atIectionate memento at his head. Spring
will come, but its early breath will not kiss the
grave flowers,.no its early dew weep over the
greensward raised OH his senseess bosom. But
spring will come with its flowers, autumn with
its fruits, and wintry winds again sweep along
our world; but that grave now desolate; will be
desolate still; the place where he roposcs, will
not long be distinguished, even by little
mound Of earth; for the ploughshare of time
will level and destroy, and weeds will then
spring up to hide it forever from human ken.
