Tuesday, june 1.
Yesterday, P. NJ, the convention entered at
large into The discussion of the individual La
bility principle in all corporations. 1t was at
once apparent that different views were enter
tanned BY the delegates Of the majority. Mr.
Reemelin was for SO wording the report that
this principle should be applied everywhere,
and to everything DR.. Dorsey, on the other
hand, argued that the incorporation of this
idea into all corporations, for railroads, or
plankroads, or turnpikes. or schools. academies
and colleges, DC, would operate to discour-
age and measurably suppress the erection of
these works and institutions He was sure it
would have that effect, and ne was unwilling
to otake any such step. He thought the meas
ure unealled for. unrequired by any public ne
ceasity, and would be fatal to the best inter-
ests Of the state.
Mr., Reemelin replied at length and with
great earnestness. We are sorry to ssy, that
il this discussion he has manifested more of
the bitter partizan than he has heretofore dis
played. We cannot give even an abstract of
his speech. He insisted in the strongest
terms, On the general sweep in the consti-
tutions ss.-...-z---
Mr.. Brown Of Carroll, in short speech of
much pzngeney and wit, replied to some of
hits and rich scenes came off about that time
We hope the reporter caught them.
This morning the discussion was resumed
by another speech from Mr.. Reemelin, which
Ne did not hear, but learn that it was more
partizan than yesterday. Judge Peter Hitch
cock followed him, somewhat at length on the
other side. Mr. Robertson then took the floor,
aud spoke at length on the exclusive side
We heard q part of his speech, and did not
Ike its tone He is apt to forget that he IS
not on the stump in Fairfield county, or in an
Stf of January convention. He went into a
history of individual liability in England, &c.
Mr., Firestone followed on the same side. and
made radical sweeping speech. He was in
favor of Individual liability in all other corpo-
raiions except banking, and he was opposed to
itthere, because he was utterly opposed to all
banks. and would 60 for tearing up every one

vent any more from ever being made. He
was papticularlY bitter and ferocious about
this principle
Alr. Manon Of Licking made one of his char
actsristic speeches. He had got tired of the
debate, and be lashed some of his friends who |
had been working off speeches for bunkum,
rather hard He begged Of them to quit and
go 10 work. and if they must make these long
windy speeches, to 60 home and do it there, |

them We thought Manon was about right.
Upon motion of Judge Vance the commit
tee arose and the Judge then announced the
DEATH OF JOHN RILEY.
Of Butler county, and one of the venerable /
remnants Of that band who ffamed the consti-
tuition Of this state in 1902. Judge v pro-
ceeded in very appropriate and impressive
manner to detail the history Of the deceased, /
and offered resolutions of coincidence 10 the
family and friends Of the deceased. We have |,
mot room for the details to-day. Judge Smith
of Warren seconded the resolutions in most
excellent speech, delivered in his peculiarly |
solemn and impressive manner He had |
known the deceased Tor thirty years. He
spoke Of the remarkable traits Of his character

touching eulogy. The resolutions we're unan-
