SHARP PRACTICE IL THE SALE OF AccoMMo.
DATIoN NorEs.-An instance of rather sharp
practice in the making and selling of "ac-
commodation paper" has recently become
public. There ia mai in this city, who is
wholly irresponsible, and rather too lazy to
earn an honest living, who bears the name
of u venerable, wealthy and respected citi-
zen Of this county. Some sharp fellows re-
solved to make this identity OF names ad-
vantageous to them, by palming off upon
the credulous the name of one man for the
other. So they induced the irresponsible
man to make sundry promissory notes, and
place them at their disposal These notes
were taken into the street and negotiated,
where ever a customer could be found and
induced to believe that he was purchasing
a note giving by the responsible citizen
above referred to. How much has been re.
allied by this transaction is not exactly
known. As the paper began to mature, the
holders found that it was not payable at the
place they supposed, or by the best man
who bore the name attached to it. A pro
secution for fraud was threatened, and it is
said that some Of the parties concerned in
the transaction have left the city, rather
than await legal investigation of the
charges brought against them.-Roch

Greedy on the Revival.


The Philosopher of the Tribune late
Agrarian, Fourlerite, Spiritualist and
Free Love advocate, is about topublish
from his own personal quill, History
Of the Great Awakening which is at
present exciting so much attention
throughout the country.
1t is proposed to give a minute &C.
count OF the origin and progress Of the
Revival and to ''philosiphize" upon its
probable cause and effect; and is to be
compiled with special reference to
it's use by the christian churches Of the
country.
The eternal fitness Of things" is
most beautifully observed in this in
stance. A man who rejects and
scorns all of the doctrines Of christiani-
ty, upon which depend our we'll being
here, and our future state Of Happiness
or misery hereafter, is about to write q
work upon the Revival and has the
audacity to expect the churches of the
country to receive its teachings a.
sound doctrine.
This is but upon a par with manv
other of the actions of Horace Greelv.
Regardless, not only Of the conse-
quences to himself but also Of the feel
'ngs Of others, he will pervert the most
sacred subjects to q ministering to hia
love OF gain, and pollute with his un-
clean touch, the most hallowed alters
Of the human heart Verify he win
have his reward.

ANOTHER CoNvERr.-It is said that the
great unwashed Of the Tribune has gone
over ~ith Awful Gardner, to the ranks of
the elect 1t 10 to be hoped that if they
baptise him in any river, they will wash him
clean while they are about it. If he makes
full confession of his sins, We trust he will
tell rs what became Of the $4,000 which
was subscribed to get up revolution in Ire
land ; also about the money sent in for
bleeding Kansas; likewise we should like
70 hear about the final disposition Of that
thousand dollar draft which he carried in
MS pocket for some time; and, further,

In Belfast, ireland, the city authorities
have adopted what they believe to be a
very effective mode of REFRESHING gross
lewdness and immortality. Persons convict
ed of frequenting houses of bad repute are
treated thus: The heads of both men and
women are closely shaved, and after few
days confinement in the Bridewell they are
set free; but as they cannot get rid Of their
shaven heads, the evidence of their having
frequensed disreputable places sticks to
them It is said that this practice has
greatly diminished the number Of characters
operated upon.

The Constituttonality Of the Amended
Charter.

The question Of the constitutionality
of the amended charter will we under
stand be brought up to-day under a
writ Of hsbess corpus issued by Judge
Woodward Of the Supreme Court, in
the case Of man who was fined on
Monday by the Police Magistrate.
The claim on behalf of the prisoner
is that the Office Of Police Magistrate
is by the amended charter abolished,
and that therefore conviction before
him was illegal.
The question, therefore, as to wheth-
er the amended charter is in force, and
of course, as to its constitutionality
will be involved.
The points, as We understand them,
made by the prosecution as to the un-
constitutionality of the amended char
ter are as follows:
First, The twenty fourth section OF
the amendment provides that a resi-
dence of six months in the State and
and three months in the city Of Daven-
port, shall be requisite to qualifica-
ton to vote. Whereas, section first
of article second Of the constitution
provides that every white male citizen
Of the age Of twenty one years, who
shall have resided in the State for six
months, and in the county for sirty days,
shall be entitled to vote at all elections
which we're then, or thereafter might
be, authorized by law. The amend
ment therefore, as it DISTINGUISHES, per-
sons who by the Constitution were en-
titled to vote is void.
Second, Section first, Of the second
division Of article three, of the new
Constitution, provides that the Legisla-
tive authority Of the State shall be
vested in the General Assembly, DC.
Section six of the amendment pro-
yides for submission of the charter to
the people, thereby delegating to them
a legislative authority, which, by the
Constitution is vested exclusively in
the General Assembly. The third
and strongest point upon which the
prosecution rely is under section third
of the Constitution which is as follows:
1.-THE General Assembly shall not pass
local or special laws in the following
cases." mentioning among number OF
others the following, "tor the incorpo-
ration OF cities and towns," and further
provides ''that in all cases above emu
merated, and in all other cases whore
a general law can be made applicable,
all laws shall be general, and of q uni
form operation throughout the State.
The amendment to the charter, al
though not technically an act for the
incorporation Of a city, yet is Of such a
nature that the Courts will construe it
to come within the spirit of this pro-
vision of the Constitution.
Upon the question, whether this
amendment could be provided for in a
general law" and made of uniform
operation throughout the State" there
can be no reasonable doubt.
The new charter is, we think, clear
| ly within the provisions of the consti-
tuition and will, without a doubt, be adj
Judged to be void. The fortunate
chance of the present term of the
Supreme Court in this city, will enable
us summarily to dispose Of a question
which otherwise would be a fruitful
source Of vexation and eminently Diet
rimental to the credit of the Corpora
