over all others.
The superior organization mud great extent of

to produce watches at n price which r.,lers com.

watch merely pay from % to 80 per cent. more
for their watch than is necessary.

militia, which created short debate, partici.
pated in by Messrs Corbn and Swas, as to
the constitutionality Of the act, the Governor
being Commander in. chief of the forces, and
the bill in its nature being calculated to en-
croach upon his constitutional prerogativcs.
The report of tho judiciary Committee, in
the case OF Judge Thomas, was taken up and
read, aud went to show that Judge Thomas
had no permanent residence in the 9Th Ju.
d'clal Circuit, and that he had therefore not
complied with the requirements of the con.
stitution.
MIR. Hamilton appeared as council for
Judge Thomas and was conducted within
the bar OF the Senate by Mr. Curtiu.
MIR. Hamilton stated that Judge Thomas
was at the hotel waiting the SIMMONS of the
Senate.
The Senate signifcd that it was rs we'll to
appear by counsel and Mr.. Hamilton then
! called Tor the reading OF the testimony, which
was read and was conclusive that the judge
had no residence in the Sixth Uircuit, further
! than stopi ing at the hotel when holding court.
The cvidcuce also showed that his mail
matter was sent to Chester; aud that he WAS
u citizen OF Grccnvile when elected.
Judge Thomas testimony was to the effect
that he had t;okcn up housekeeping where
he had been domcilcd, an,l that the terms of
court had been large, and that there had been
I but little Intervals between sessions, and that
he had always considered Chester his home,
aud sent there those articles necessary Tor a
single gentleman.
After reading the testimony, Mr. IIamil
ton made a short plea in behalf Of Judge
Thomas, claiming, that he did have resi-
dencc, within the 9th Judicial Circuit, and
appealed to the fact that the other house, ac
fore which he appeared on Saturday night,
III the same case, and decided that The Judge
| did have a residence in said circuit, by IL vote
of 53 to p.
In the House considerable debate cnsucd
upon the consideration of bill to amend an
act providing for the assessment and location
OF property, Which passed t. third reading.

Judge Thomas was postponed
