o. In our last, we made allusion to
to the new system Of writing and printing,
coming somewhat extensively into practice
in our country. Since then we have been
visited by Mr.. J. V. Smith of Chicago, who
has thoroughly studied the new system of
Photography and is prepared 10 teach it 10

fin the adoption Of an article securing TO
the wife her separate property-that owned
by her before marriage, ard that acquired
by her after marriage, otherwise than from
her husband-dischargeda duty which re.
fleets no little credit upon The wisdom of
It's members, and furnishes an example
which will doubtless soon be followed hy
many States Of the Union. We referred
last week to u suggestion of the Gov
ernor Of Missouri, that "no man shall be
allowed to endorse another's note
without the consent of his Wife" or rather,
that no endo sement, without such consent,
shall be valid The Governor, on this
point, says
"An evil Of great magnitude exists in
our country, 10 cure whlcn suitable lem
edy has been BOXED for in vain. The
evil alluded 10 is the practice Of endorsing
and becoming security in private translc.
tons. If a man is bound TO sell his real
estate for price, and to receive the full
value in hard money paid down, the law
still requires the consent and signature Of
his wife before she can be d,vested of her
interest in it. The wisdom OF this law has
seldom been doubted. 1t might be well
then, before man, in conviviai moment
or when overcome by TIE persuasions of
an imprudenl friend, or deceived by the
false representations Of bad man, puts
his whole estate-ihe earnings Of long
and lAborious life, and Of much toll and
care--in jeopardy Of the law, TO require
him at least TO get the consent aud sigma
ture OF his wife. If she is to be reduced to
poverty, it may be as we'll TO let her know
it in advance, and 10 let her consent TO It.
This might remedy the evil to some extent,
by adding little more tine. reflection and
caution 10 all such transact ons, without,
preventing much of the good resulting
from this actice. Experience has shown
that the wife is good adviser esd sale
counselor"
A bill, in accordance wi h this Fxecu-
tive suggestion, has been ;eTortcd in
the Senate OF Missouri. We unfe with

that one of the same sort will sow be Lc-

no better mode of d'speling the prejudiccs
which were cheated against the document
before its completion, than to place it IN

the wing papers, and good share OF the

contended from the first tina, the Bank
Article was Objectionable. We think so
yet; but its advococates, men Of good
judgment, are very sangune that it will be
productive of vast good to the people at
large. We should like TO see it tried. -
But if majority Of the people do not wish
to see it tried, it can be amended before
the most Objectionable feature Of it goes
into operation. With the exception Of the
Bank Article, We know not another (ea
ture OF the constitution which is in any
degree Objectionable. 1t is emphatcaIly
