% Execution of Lieut. Alcade and
Adj. Garcia. These Mexicans were SEN
fenced for a breach of their parol of honor,
in taking up arms against us.
HALF-PAsT IL o'cLocK.--The execution
is over. The prisoners marched blind-iol-
ded to the plaza, priest attending them.
They were in full uniform, and behaved
with as much firmness as could be expected
of men under such circumstances. Each
was supported by a friend at either arm,
and were led TO the side of the plaza and
seated upon their coffins, near the wall of
the barracks. They continued their devo-
tons aloud, after embracing few friends,
until the word 8 firer' when both fell dead,
scarcely moving a muscle. The troops I'M
der Gen. Patterson were all paraded again,
and not only looked very wen, bur behaved
as they did yesterday. with propriety. The
bodies of the executed officers were given
over 70 their friends, and soon conveyed a.
way i'm neat collins. Thousands of Mexi-
cans focked towards the scene, hut were
prudently kept out of the plaza. The ex-
cltement that prevailed yesterday among
the inhabitants seems in a measure to have
subsidized to-day-but whether it eyielded to
sense of justice or to awe, remains to be
seen.

Mr.. o. Cotr smoke briefly auainst all

Mr.. o. Cole spoke briefly against all
banks, and he should vote against authori-
zing them at all times; but if a provision
authorizing their creation must be made he
should go for having it submitted in a sep
arate article 90 the people.
after few remarks by Mr.. CHASE in
opposition to the general banking system,
the committee rose, reported progress, and
asked leave to sit again.
In the afternoon, the debate was contln-
ued in committee Of the whole. Several
amendments were offered.
Mr.. EsTABRooK said he would content
himself TO give silent vote on this subject,
were it not for communications he had re-
ceived from his constituents. The mem
bers seem to be crazy on this subject. As
an individual, he was in favor of total
prohibiting of all banking; but there are
many who think otherwise, and out of re
spect to their wishes, he would so fix the
fundamental law, that if they are in MAORI
~ they can have what they wish. Its very
democratic to leave the whole matter to the
people.
On the 18th, Mr.. LARKIS submitted as a
substitute for the various propositions pre-
viously offered, an article, the substance of
which is, that the Legislature may at any time,
submit the question of g bank'' or 'sno banko
to the people at any general election, and
if majority of all the votes polIed at such
election shall be in favor of banks, then the
legislature may pass general or special
banking law, and submit the details of such
law to the people, and if a majority of the
votes shall be in its favor, it may go into
effect. The article thus amended was a.
dopted by a vote Of 46 to 10, and was or
dered to be engrossed.
Why not leave the question of bank or
no bank, to be decided by majority Of the
votes cast on that question:
On TIE loin, the convention resolNeu us
elfinto committee of the whole, Mr. WHEEL
Err in the chair, for the consideration of the
article on the
APPoRTIoNMEST OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
After short time spent in committee, on
motion of
Mr. LARKIN, the committee rose aud re-
ported the article back to the convention
without amendment.
MIR. RouNTREE said that the census which
had been taken in the county of Grant, by
the person appointed for that purpose, had
been found to be imperfect, and that the
board of Supervisors of that county had
appointed persons in each of the precincts to
take correct census the returns of which
would probably be received here some time
during next week. He thought by that cen
sus Grant county would be entitled to an
other representative, and he therefore moved
to lay this article on the table, which mo-
ton prevailed.

A Tragedy in Hancock Co. Mississippi.

1t seems that an old man named Brown
was found to have issued spurious coin; and
being arrested he charged two others, james
and Washington Bilboa, as accomplices.
Brown and an outlaw named Wages, who
was suspected of putting his mark on other
peoples cattle, and also of having commit
ted murder in Alabama, started for Bill
boas, forty miles distant, arrested them, dis
covered their bogus factory, and brought
them back to Jail. They got out on bail;
and Wages fearing prosecution for his
crimes by the Bilboas, who had always
passed for respectable farmers, sold out and
with Brown, started off to leave the coun-
try. The Bilboas followed them with rifles.
". met the two Bilboas separately on horse
back, and shot them, being too quick on the
trigger for them, and made his escape.

Education.

On the pre-emnently important subject oil
Education and the School funds of Wiscon-
sin, Mr.. EsTABRooK, chairman of the com
mittee, has made a report which Is deeply
Interesting and which we will hereafter
publish. Our readers are aware, that there
have been appropriations made by Con-
gress, for the establishment and support of
academies as well as common schools, in
the West; and that there will soon be a
large fund under the control Of Wisconsin,
for this purpose. Amongst other excellent
provisions in the Article reported by Mr..
EsTABRooK, (who, by the way, is perhaps
the very man of all others in the Conyen-
ton, to digest and arrange good educa-
tional system,) il is provided in
SEo.7. When the population of any coun-
~ IN this State shall exceed twenty thousand
In number, provision shall be made by law
for the erection of an academy in such
county, with male aud female departments

school fund shall be exclusively applied I,
the following objects, to wit:
LIST. To the support and maintenance O

ID. The residue shall be appropriated 10

crics and normal schools, and suitable libra
rics and apparatus therefor.
SEC. 4. The legislature shall provide by
law for the establishment of district schools,
which shall be as nearly uniform as may be
throughout the State; and such schools shall
he equally free 10 all children bctaeen the

tuition shall be gratis. And no sectarian in
struclion shall be allowed in said schools.
SIC. 3. Provision shall be made by law

should 60 into it with great care. Ifpublic
opinion was sound on banking he thought
the business would soon be starved out, and
that paper would receive small circnla-
ton. Banking Is carried on for purposes of
speculation. The system proposed is to
make banking free to spectators, and all
who wish to live without work: they will
throw their influence to log roll the measure
through the legislature. One legislature
under this system, can grant hank charter
to every county in the state. He was OPP
posed to banks in every shape and form
but il the people want banks, let them have
them. He thought the constitution should
propose some plan by which the people can
have hanks ii they wish il. He said il was

such time woald never be experienced in
Wisconsin. The people in the western
portion of the territory had thought that the
