WEDNESDAY, Dec. %.
Mr. HALE presented the memorial of the
yearly meeting of Anti-Slavcry Friends Of
indiana, praying for the adoption Of measures
for the Immediate termination Of the wan

alton OF slavery.
On presenting this petition, Mr.. Hale said
| suppose, Mr.. President, as this petition
prayS for the eXcrton Of all the powers Of
Government so far as they extend in relation
to this subject, it includes within its provision,
slavery within the District Of Columbia; and
am informed that the practice has obtained
in the Senate, when petitions Of this charac-
ter are presented, to raise the question Of
reception, and that such a motion is laid up
on the table and there the matter Drops
AS this course does not accord with my own
conviction of duty, | must urge Il different
disposition Of this petition and, hope that
if exception be taken, it will be taken with
out this side-bloW Of a motion to lay on the
table.
With this view, if the question of rccep-
ton be raised, ask that it may be taken by
yeas and nays.
The PRESIDING OFFICER.-Those in "a
vor of taking the question by yeas and nays,
will rise.
Mr. HALE.-Was the motion made to lay
the motion on the table
The PRESIDING OFTICER.-The question
is to be put as matter Of course.
Mr.. IIALE.-I was not aware Of the exist
encc Of such rule but that being the case,
would like to say Il single word on the
main question, rs the motion to lay on the
table is not debatable.
Mr.. BERRIEN.-I trust that the established
usage of the Senate will not be departed
from on this occasion. When petition OF
this sort is presented, the question Of recep-
ton is raised by ! motion to lay petition on
the table. | raise that question; move to
lay the motion upon the table.
Mr.. IIA1E.-Upon that question l ask the

Mr.. JOHNSON of EIarylandinquir whcth-
er it would be in order to move postpone
ment of the question Of reception until TO-
morrow ?

On The death Of GEORGE W. FISHER, who died at
Rowe, Mass, Nov. 9, 1917, aged 81 years.
The death Of Mr.. Fisher was occasoned by 4
apin of his wrist about two years ago. which caused
his health gradually to decline. In consequence Of
this, q few months since, by the advice Of several
eminent physicians, he consented to have his hand
amputtod, with the fond hope of speedy recovery.
But lie was.disappointcd Consumption, which had
previously given some tokens Of its fearful work.
now fastened on its victim with greater energy.
laurmur o. complaint escaped his lips, and Hope
chcorod him with its delusivc dreams till few days
before his death. a beloved wife with two small
children, and large circle of ailectionato friends
mourn his sad and lmtjncy fate.
lis bridal VOWS are Cancelled now,
lie takes again the hand he gave,
That h1nd ere death was on his brow,
Lay cold and severed for the gravo!
let did his spirit not rcpinc,
As ono by ono his hopes dccavcd;
No murmur though each days decline
Left IN his heart deeper shade.
a. fo,- more days and l shall lie
Beside a sisters nouldorin& clay,
Cp3n tie same hillside that
So oft have climbed in childish play
There the low rill will sing along
rs svoct beside my silent bed,
While one by one the household throng
Come to this chamber of the dead"
But Oh, for those that must leave,
Their young eyes yet will weep for me,
4 DER my grave some summer eve
They ask Of one they meier may Sec
How can leave them where the breath
Of this cold world may pale their check,
AID her who watched my couch of death
With bitterness she cannot speak !"
%. And now farewell! my life so brief
Dies with the sad Autumnal year,
And the same breath that blasts the leaf
Shall lay ne withorcd on my bicr;-
did not think soon to die
And PISS from this glad earth away,
When plans were formed and hopes were high
Tor many long and sunny day"
Io. bear me to that pleasant spot
And lay the cold sod on my breast

Around my chosen place of rest?
The turf above me shall be green
,L.I budding flowers glad birds shall sing,
Aud though deaths Winter reign between,
know there comes for me Il Spring

A JUDICIAL ANECDOTE.

Pedro l., the eighth king of Portugal, was
remarkable for his steady and impartial ad-
ministraton of justice.
" An ccclcsiastic, in a high fit of passion,
killed mason, whom he had employed, for not
executing something agreeable to his mind.
The king dissembled the knowledge Of the
crime, and left it to the cognizance of the
proper courts, where the issue of the business
was, that the priest was suspended from say
ing mass for a year Atthis punishment, the
family of the deceased were highly offended
The king caused it to be limited TO the mason's
son, that he should kill the priest, which he
did; and having fallen into the hands of JUS
tice, he was condemned to suffer death but
as no capital sentence could be executed with
out the kings consent, this was laid before
him among the rest; upon which he asked
what was the young mans trade 1t was an
Swered, that he followed his fathers then.
said the king, shall commute his punishment
by restraining him from mcddling with stone
or mortar for twclvcmonth.

And naught but bliss can they bestow;

And where the sparkling waters flow.
We hear them in the midnight air
When all is hushed in deep reposc-
They bid us Danish every care

SUIcDE.-Thc following is an anecdotc of Dr..
johnson:
Boswell once asked johnson if there were no pos
sible circumstances under which suicide would be
justinablc.
No. was the reply.
Wcll,' says Boswell, suppose n man had been
guilty of some fraud that he knew would bring in
fanny upon him, and that he was equally certain
would be found out"
"Why, them" says johnson, ain that case let
him 90 10 some country where he is not known and
not to tho devil where he is known"

VAR. AHarVey'S speech on Legal
Reform.

As delivered in the Constitutional Convention,
and published in the Madison Express we intend to
give at length in our next pare Mr. II discusses
che subject in manner that shows he has bat lit
lie veneratIon Tor the ancient monuments of legal
fiction. Quite unlike sou,e. who affect To be per
tecuy awestruc& when any one proposes To
demollSh the babel of ioolcrv which age,
Heather and Christian, CIVILIZED and uncivilizcd
have contributed TO pie together, he attacks the
>enerated structure, despite the grolus and ancn.
taons OF the deyotces OF old forms and nysticisms.
Let the oPposcrs of legal reform saw what thew
will, or reason as they please et thcm attempt 10
irighten the people by grave dlscour,cs on the dan
gers OF innovation, or the evils OF radical changes
the cumbrous and mtcrmnabIc tcchu.caltcs in
which our courts OF record are shroulcd. and com
mon scnse IS buried must give way to more
truthful system OF things We are glad that Mr..
Harvey called attention 10 this matter in the Con
Ncntlon ana we should have been pleased TO see
other member, of that body speak ont. The sub
Ject Of legal reform was ably and thorough, dis.
onssed 10y the most distinguished men in the late
Constitutional Convention OF New York. which
gave an impulse 70 retorma,orv movements. the
good results OF winch are soon 10 be witnessed IN
that State.

more confident in regard 10 the matter if instead of
clause providing ior the appointment of these
officers, provision had been made for their election
by the people. Then the subject would have been
brought directly 10 the pubiic mind for investisa.

III The table We Published last week showing
the population OF the several senatorial and assembly
districts contained error in that part relating 10
the latter, and as it will be frequently required for
reference we again publish it, corrected No doubt
our readers have noticed the injustice which has
been done to this assembly district. Compared
with the Racine district, the excess Of population
in this is over eight hundred and whilst II is grea
ter than any other district in the county 1t is very
much greater than most of them. Had there been
any necessity for this We should not complain, but
we cannot perceive the slightest. 1t will be seen
that had the town of Pike been joined to the Mount
Pleasant district to which il is contiguous, we
should vet have exceeded Racine somewhat and
our numbers would not have had an unfair proper
ton TO the other districts OF the county. When 1t
would have been Just as easy to do the thing rightly
and fairly,wc cannot imagine why this injustice was
done The Milwaukee Sentinel speaking OF the mat
ter oframing the districts,says; In Racine &Wal-
worth counties the delegations could not agree and
the committee had to decide between them" An
effort was made by Mr. A. G. Cole OF Burlington to
amend in the particular of which we complain, but
without success.
There are several points in this dstrcting
which look strangely to US, for instance, Ra-
cine county has two Senators and five representa-
tiyes; the county of Walworth has one senator and
five representatives.; the county of Rock one Sena-
tor and five representatives and the county of Green
one Senator and one representative. Here are two
Senators to five representatives. one Senator to five
representatives, and one Senator TO representa-
tive. We supposed that in districtins reference was
had exclusively topopulation bat county lines must
nave had something to do with it here.

The CONsTITCTIoN.-We gave this doc
ument TO our readers last week, but were
prevented by want OF room, from expressing
any opinion with regard to it. We are
we'll satisfied with it. 1t constitutes the
government simply, efficiently, economi-
calIv, and consequently democratically.-
1t contains no new or startling propositions
nothing that is likely 10 affect the inter-
csts of any person, or any class of our cIti-
zens prejudiclalIv. There are many, no
doubt, who would have been pleased to see
features engrafied i'll the Constitution, mark
ing clearly reform and progress. There is
no question but many reforms are deman-
ded by the spirit Of the age but free as the
legislature Is, to act upon all subjects of
rght(ul legislation, that no specific enact
ments with regard to these mooted ques-
tons, are found in the Constitution, we
think can furnish no reasonable objection
TO it. As we said before, our State Gov
eminent is constituted democratically -the
legislature is left free to follow the dictates
of public sentiment on all questions of leg
islatlon; and further than this, we know not
what can be reasonably desired. We
have heard but very little dissent expressed
TO it, as vet, from any quarter, and doubt
not, it will be adopted on the second Mon.
day of March next, with great unanimty.
