has been amended in the House of Delegates
so as to forfeit only the interest when a
greater rate than six per cent. is charged for
the loan of money. and has been passed in
this shape by a vote of thirty>one to twenty
two. 1t will be bitterly contested in the
Senate,
The Convention is still discussing the bill
OF rights, which it is proposed to emboiy in
the second article of the new Constitution
The point now under discussion is the right
of corporations to take private properly for
public uses.
All of the committees in the Convention
except tina, on the Judiciary system, are now
nearly ready to report. That committee is
badly divided in opinion. and two or three
reports may be-expccsed as-she result.

The question before the General Assembly
IN considering the bill to tax dogs is, Shall
Virginia have all dogs and no sheep Every
country negro must have IA dog whether he
has anythin" to feed it with or nor and as
every dog will have something G'eat whether
its owner furnishes it or not, it is easy to
understand why sheep>raising has become a
precar'ous and Improbable business. There
are more than one hundred thousand dogs in
Virginia, 1t costs as much per anuum to
Iced a dog as to feed a sheep. Will the Leg
,s'a'ure encourage the people to substitute one
hu"ired thousand sheep for the dogs ? Dogs
are worse than worthless more than half of
them, at least Sheep are highly valuable
both for their wool and as food.
