The in ssrton of this Speech in columns is due to the position of the author a hs Senate and to the fact q his Speech being in direct reply 10 the Speech of Mr. Bell, alreaty Published; and also to our read CTS. that they may be possessed of what has been sged tn favor of the bill as well as against it. and es the grounds upon which the eoafdehftai friends q the Administration justify Its course''

Death from ChIoroform.

addition to the account we published yesterday, relative 10 the death of lady in Cincinnati while under tine influence of chioroform, extract a further account from the Ciacinnai Atlas, of yes terddy:
 "The lady's name was Simonds. Several days ago she consulted her family physician. Dr. Null ford Tn reference 10 using chIoroform in having her teath extracted and he advised her that he thou t there was no dangsr in it.
 ''On the 22d she came to consult Dfs. Meredith and Sexton, dentists about extracting her teeth, and about using chloroform for that pugpose. The next day slie came in the afternoon 10 have her teeth drawn At The office she met, by accilent, her ss- ter-in law, Mrs. Cross and another lady, an ac- qua'nance. They remained during the operat: on. The Doctor asked her whether she wished to use the ehofoforms and she replied she did. for she could not endure the pain of having the teeth ex- traotcd without.
 "Fwenty-fve drops were put in the inhaler, ad- Ininistered, and took immediate effect. Dr. Sexton commenced removing the tech, which were mere stumps, and not difficult of exiraction As he at- tempted to draw the fourth one, she put up her hand and seized his lie requested her 10 put her hand down, saying that tho remaining ones would hurt her but little, and she removed her hand lie judged that ske bad partially passed from the ihtluehce of the chlorofos m, and knew what was going en- He applied the inst ument again and drew the tooth. Just 1t came out. she drew back her head, made eoBvuisive motion with her hands, slid from the seat of the chair, and expired The time from her first inhaing the choroform to this sad result, did not, the dentist said, exceed minute and half

 We learn from lhe Cincinnati Enquirer, os late date, that the lady above alluded to. never atpr waTds exhibited any sign ol life, and that a post mort em examination was made by four physicians, who had no hesitation ia saying that her death re- suited entirely from the action of the Chloroiorn, by ''iapid and complete exhaGsianof of the nervous s,stem."

Dreisians of the Snnrerr Cnurt.

Appeal form Carroll Circuit Court. The State ys Cox.
 This case involves the eonstituona'iiy of the act of the general assembly,, approved December 18th, lsi6; which rests for it's support upon the third Amendment to the constitution adopted by the gen. eral assembly at the session of lS46. @ Previous 10 the adoption ofthc amendment to the constitution, an indictment oI presentment was a pre-reqaisiteto 10 the trial of an offender for breach oi the penal statutes. Such indictment can be@ found only by grand jury.
 The Legislature may, under the provision prescr- bing the mode of amending the constitution, alter Or dispense with any portion of the declaration of rights well as other parts of the constitution. The pro- h5iton contained in the .th section of the ceciar- ation of rights" that s that all laws contrary to the declaration of rights to the other provisions con tained in the constitution shall be id-exteuds to the general and ordinary powers of the judgment conferred by the constitution and farther. IL does not limit the general assembly in the extraordinary and specific authority and power conferred upon 1t to propos. and adopt amendments to the constitu- ton. Any portion of the constitutions may be amended.
 The third amendment of the cohstitution author izlng the legislature to confer upon justices of the Peace jurisdiction ''in actions and prosecution for assault and battery and other penal offencas. less than felony, which may be punished by fine only,'' so far repeals modfes the fourteenth section of the declaration of rights, as to dispense with the necessity of presentment or indictment by a grand jury as foundation for the exercise of that jurisdiction. It does not do SO by express words, but by implication. The article and amendment being incompatible, the former is mod'6el repealed for the purpose of carrying no effect the intention of the amendment.
 The term "jury" has a tecthical and specific meaning, and consists of twelve men. The rights of trial by jury is constitutional one, and the de- lendant cannot be deprived of that right. Unless he valves it. therefore, the justice must empannel jury of twelve men.

RevOlHii0n in CarTaccas-Congress Attack
 bers Kilied.-Portrait of Doiiyer Des-
 tFoyed.
 PHILADELPHn Feb. 2s, F M,--By ythe Southern mail we have accounts of terrible revolution at Carraccas.
 President Monarges attacked Congress, which in session, with the soldiers, fired in at the win dows, killed many of the members, and taking the others pIisoners after which the rrvoluticnists tered the Hail. destroyed the furniture, and hacked the portrait of Boser.
 The members were afterwards compelled, under threats, to pass resolutions exoneraiing the Exeeu- tive, and proclliming amnesty. The cause of all this was the impeachment of the Presieni by Con- gress. All eyes fixed on Parez, who is expected 10 rescue the country by revolution.
