LAW REFoRM.-We publish q communication
the subject Of reform in the administration of the
law. 1t is from The pen of awyer, too. which goes
to prove that there few comparatively liberal
and honest men in that .profession," notw ithsand-
ing their general bad odor in the abstract. We,
rty and honor Of the respectable class of lawyers
expect that they will readily aid in essential re-
forms, and sufficiently convinced of the careless
of large of the community, to be equally
as well satisfied that if the lawyers do not take hold
of the matter the other class will permit the cause
to fail by default The author of the article signed
reform, in private letter to US, says
.'You may think me ultra. and hard on the legal
profession; but ! you am fully convinced ),
and have been for years of the great necessity for
the absolute and unconditional reform indicated. If
privileged class of men can't make fat living
without doing gruss injustice to mankind. let them
be to live lean. Under good. plain, practi-
cal system, of honesty and moral worth, will al
ways have enough TO do, as lacyers. aud unless we
come within the rule, we should not have the conf
dence Of any one, aud should betake ourselves to
some other calling"
These we repeat, are the sentiments of lawyer,
of good repute. They are credable not only to him,
but through him to the profession by which he lives
We have a comprehensive proposition of our own
yet to make, much more RADICAL and os we believe,
remedial. than any already made But we do not
desire TO make it until the people begin to think
about the subject.

05-A correspondent enquiries Of US relative to the
resolutions Of the last Democratic State Convention
tie subject of slavery. They are as follows. and
were adopted on the 9Th of January, 1649, as the
record rays, "unanimousy-"
"Rssoued. That the institution of savery ought not
to be introduced into any territory where does not
now exist"
"Resolued, That inasmuch as New Mexico and
California are, in fact and in law free territories
is the duty Of Congress TO prevent the introduction of
slavery within their limits"

AN ERROR CoRREcTED--In our last article OH the
subject of the Legislative Assembly. we stated that
sup 10 this moment, beiisue," Vermont has but
one House. This is which we hasten to cor
rect. We don't feel so much ashamed of it as we
should do, if we had not taken great pains get
rect information and if others had not committed the
same bunder who ought 10 be ashamed OF it. We
hunted over the books in the State Library, but could
find no evidence of change, and that authoritative
standard book, Bouvier's Law Dictionary, edition of
lS45, Perpetuates the error! We are now taught by
an ain,anac, what could not learn from any Laso
book. The 'American Almanac" for 1897, records
the fact that in 1886, an amendment was made to the
Vermont Constitution, by which Senate is hereafter
to form part Of the Legislature the senate to consist
of 80 mebers,each county to be entitled at least
one and the rest to be apporioned according popu-
aton. The fact remains true, nevertheless, that
from 1893 u? to 1885, Vermont had but single
House in her legislative assembly and it is equally
true that the change noted, initiates in de-
gree against the proposition for House only in
this State.

The correspondent of the Louisville Courier says
COL Benton, as at present advised, will not notice
Mr. Calhoun at all. He takes the ground that CAL
houn, in his Speech has confessed all that be charged
upon him during his campaign of last summer-a de-
sgn 10 dissolve the Union-and that therefore, there
Is nothing for him to reply to. He further thinks,
that if Cahouns dissolution scheme is of So obnox-
ious character to compel his FIRST lieutenant MIR.
Foote. to abandon and desert him, that it would be
worse than murder in the first degree, if he, Benton.
under such aggravated circumstances should assail
him with his ponderous battle As things, there
fore. stand now there is little expectation of
COL Benton's saying anything.

We publish to-day the speech of COL Bl>sELL of
Illinois of which we have already spoken. No man
will regret the time which it takes read it; and
man, who appreciates properly the matters in issue,
and the circumstances under which the speech was
made, will fail TO accord to Col. b., the highest
praise not only for the intrinsic worth of the facts
arruyed but also for the ntrepdty with which they
expressed. The Southern leaders had evidently
the Nor,herncrs and force through their
policy by bullying aud browbeatDg; but they found
Mr.. B. customer too hard to be handled in that
STYLE There is doubt, that in consequence of this
speech portion of Southern gentlemen, smartiDg
under the castgatou, determined to take vengeance
by the duello. Col. Davis of Miss leading off in the
first instance. But reflection, we are glad to say,
taught them lesson of prudence. Bissell had ac-
cepted Daviss challenge, and chose. as was his
right, under the code, muskets and fifteen PAGES.
This wns no joking matter. and Mr.. Davis withdraw
ing the challange, the duel indefinitely postpon-
ed.
We again repeat thanks to Mr.. Bissell, for his
generous defence Of volunteers.
