and YVES rather proud OF that State
But he did not forget that Jeremiah
Wilkinson fiourished there; Mormon
ism fiourishsd there; Abolitionism,
run mad, iourished there. He did
not follow these, or any OF them,
snd he did not sympathize with this
feeling of running there after legal
reform.
The amendment Of Mr.. Taylor,
making i, imperative on the commits
sion to report system Of reform,
was lost. and the report was adop-
ted, substantially as reported.

This A. VI. the committee for FIX
ing the compensation of the Repor-
ter and his corps reported, BY allow
| ing the Reporter eight dollars per
day, and the assistants the amount
that Mr.. Smith had contracted to
pay them; being two dollars per
column.
10 committee, the report Of the
committee on the Judiciary was ia
ken up, and that part Of it which re-
louired the State to be divided into
three judicial districts, each to elect
one Judge Of the Supreme Court,
was stricken out. and in lieu thereof,
a clause inserted by which all these
Judges are to be elected by all the
people in common.
Mr.. SAWYER moved to strike out
all such. Latin terms as hdbeds corpus,
procedendo, manddmus, quo ,cdrrdnto
&c, from the report, and thereupon
a very amusing and learned Discus
sion arose. In rendering the terms
limo good Saxon English, Mr.. Nc
lCormic bored SAWYER rather deep
For instance, he proposed that in
stead of saving the writ Of manda
mus, we should say, the writ Of "d'
la, d-n you," &c. The amendment
Iof Mr.. Sawyer failed. After som'
discussion upon the district and coun
lty court system, the Convention ad
Ijourned.

The county court system is nov
the subject Of debate. The oppo
nents Of the report objec. that tht
county court is stripped Of its impor
tance, and the important business i
taken away TO two or three point
in each circuit. The opponents o
the report say that the plan will take
business away from the several coun
ties and take it TO distant places fol
final adjudication, that will be incon
veuient and expensive to lawyer:
and clients. Il is contended tha
there should be supreme court helc
in each county, once or twice a year
where appealed cases are to be dis
posed Of, in the county where they
originate.
To our mind there is force in the
objection. We have not examined
the proposed system in detail, and
have formed no opinion about the
subject. The report IS undergoing
thorough Sitting, and its friends are
able, and distinguished. Judge Ken
non, the chairman, entered into it
defence this morning. Judge Swan
| Mr.. Stanbery, Mr.. Nash, &C., have
advocated the system of the com
mittee. Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Ranney
have opposed it. Mr.. Ranney, as 9
member Of the committee, has sub
mitted a minority report, embracing
a whole system, and this forenoon be
entered into a minute aad very able
examination Of the objections 10 th'
report, and advocacy OF his Plan.-
We have not heard him speak more
to the point or with more force OF ar
gument. After he concluded his re-
marks the Convention took a recess

I The discussion on the district anC

in the committee indicated that there
would be some change in this part o

! The discussion, yesterday and TO-
day, has assumed rather two much
Of personal character. The truth
lis beginning to be manifest, that the
ultra radicalism Of Robertson and
his compeers in red republicanism,
finds no sympathy and support in the
rejecting and discreet men Of that
party. Il is a very different affair,
to get a resolution through an Sth ol
january Convention of the most ui.
ira stamp, and 10 get the same thing
through The Constitutional Conven-
