Bill of Rights, Rutland in the Chair,
wheh-the- President made a speech, offer
Ing, as an amendment, that the words
'have the right to determine the law
and the facts, under the direction of the
judge" be stricken out, and the words
"be judges of the law and the facts be

February 10.-In the Convention,
three more sections of the Constitution
were adopted. Section 81 defines the
crimes cognizable by grand juries; Sec.
tion % abotishes Imprisonment for debt,
except in fraud, and cxempts the home
stead Section % declares that no bill of
attainder, ,ex post ,facto law, impairing
obligations or contracts, shall be passed.
A long discussion on clause ensued,
defining what constitutes treason to the
State. 1t is probable that tomorrow,
the clause the same as is in the Federal
Constitution, will be stricken out. An
article was also read for the first time,
organizing the militia. The Legislative

WORTHY OF Iurr47ros.-We notice; II,

WORTHY OF IM1rATIoN.-We notice In
q Western paper, the fact that there is o
merchant in the town in which the paper
is printed, who, whenever man buys q
good bill Of goods from him, makes the
purchaser present Of the same paper in
which he adVertises, foro year; and
thus he manages to keep the customer
constantly reminded of his business
and ne will never forget such a present
Should that man give his customer six
or eight dollars in greenbacks or. in
goods, it might soon be forgotten but
when he is regularly placed in receipt Of
his friends bounty, can any one doubt
its being good way to advertise d? This
is worthy Of imitation by business men.

taxes it will not be long ere there viii be
