The Goae DueIio.

A duel was fought near New Orleans,
the LIST inst, between R. B. RHETT, JR.,
Editor of the Picayune, and Ex Judge
WILLIAM CooLEY, in which the latter
was killed. The telegraphed account
SAYS:
"The weapons were double barreled
shot guns, one barrel loaded with a
single ball-distance forty yards. The
ground was measured and parties placed
in position. At the first fire, Rhett's
shot ranged high. Cooley's to the light
Cooley delivered his fire first. At the
second fire both fred simultaneously,
and Cooley fell mortalIy wounded to
the ground by shot entering his left
side and passing apparently through
his heart. He expired in six minutes,
without apparent suffering, only speak
ing the.words, to DR.. Halliday, 81 am
shot through the breast"

one way or the other, but to bring it
prominently before the people for
their consideration. We are quite con
vinced that the proposed system has
material advantages over the old, but
whether these overl alance the increased
expense if there be an iLcrease) we do
not at present undertake to say.
This we do wish to say and earnestly
urge: That when our citizens have care
fully considered the subject they express
their convictions to the Convection
through petitions aald remonstrances -
Don't he hasty, Think the matter over,
exchange views in regard to it, and then
forward the result to the Convention
This is one Of those practical questions
which all can understand, ana the aaop
ton or rejection shonId be, and doubt
less will be, largely Influenced by the
known preferences Of the people.

New Plan Of County government

A proposed amendment to the Con
, stitutinn is now undergoing on animated
discussion in committee which will elicit
q very warm interest among the people.
Its leading features aie substantially Y
these: Abolishing. the offices of Com
missioner ard Infirmary Director, and
substituting therefor Board Of Super
yisors, composed of one member from
!. each township. These members to be
selected as follows: The people of each
township to elect three trustees es at
present, these trustees TO elect one OF
their number as President; this Presi-
dent shall be ea cficio member of the
Board of Supervisors.
This Board is to have all the powers
now exercised by the Commissioners
end Infrmary Directors; to levy taxes
authorize disbursements, establish high
WAYS. equalize assessments DC. ; and, il
addition, to have such limited Legislative
power as will relieve the State Legisla
ture from the necessity Of so vast al
amount of local legislation as now en-
cumhers our statute books.
AT first view so radical change il
our municipal system will probabl,
. st ike the majority unfavorably, espe
ciaily as it is likely TO be somewha
more expensive than the present system
But something can be said in behal
oflthe change Every township vii
have voice, in all appropriations, ant
in equaIizing assessments Local inter
,ests can be more inieiligently acted upol
than can be expected where but tire

represcnted.
The proposed plan is not an untrie'
experiment. 1t prevails now in mos
OF the older States, in some Of which
has bern in use for quarter OF a cen
= turv, and, we believe, that no Stat
which has ever adopted it. has after
q ward gone back TO the old system.
However We did not begin this artic.
with a view of arguing this quesiio

Proposed Ne.g sudicsa,syssem.

The Committee on the Judicial Depart
ment in the Constitutional Convention
have made a report emhodying their
proposed amendment Of our judiciary
system. As This committee is a very
large one, and includes many Of the
ablest men in the Convention, it is not
improbable that their proposition will be
in the main agreed upon. II will be Oh
served by comparing the epitome, which
we publish below, with the abstract of
Mr.. OKEs's propositisa hcres lie Fnh.
lished, that OKEY's proposal has been
almost bodily adopted by the committee,
The fact that this is regarded as the
most important change to be made in our
Constitution warrants the prominence
which we have given to this subject.
The report cf the committee provides
for the same number of Courts as now
exist, changing the name of District
Courts to that of Circuit Courts. The
Supreme Court is to consist OF five jud-
ges, as at present, to hold office for ten,
instead of five years.
The Supreme Judges in office when
the first new Judges elected under the
improved Constitution, shall be qualified
are to constitute commission to dispose
of such business then on the docket oi
the Supreme Court as may not, by an
arrangement between the Judges Of the
old and new Court, be transferred to the
latter. This commission may continue
three years, if its business is not sooner
completed. The Legislature may, on
application of the Supreme Court, pro-
vide by law for the appointment by the
Governor, with consent of the Senate
for a like commission, whose term mus
not exceed two years. Such commission
cannot be created more than once in ter
years.
The State is to be divided into six ju
dicial districts or circuits, of which ham
ilton County is to constitute one. Fol
each district, three Judges are to be elec
ted. The Circuit Court is to consist 0:
any three Of these Judges, any two o
whom may form quorum A Circui
Court is to be held in each county a
least twice year. The term Of offic'
for the Circuit Judges is eight years.
The State is also to be divided into
twelve Common Pleas Districts,Afe@coun d
ties of Hamilton and Cuyahoga each con
stituting one. With the exception o
| the Hamilton County District, three
| Common Pleas Judges are to be elected
in each of these districts. Courts Of
Common Pleas are to be held by one Of
more of these judges in every county,a'
may be provided by law. The term o
office for the Common Pleas Judges is
fixed at six years.
1t is proposed that the Probate Cour'
shall remain as at present, except tha
the term of Office for the Judge shall b.
four. wears. Justices Of the Peace ar,
l
also to hold office for four years.
/ All Judges and all Clerks of Court
are to be paid salaries to be fixed b.
law; but the salary of Supreme Judg,
is not to be less than five thousand dol
lars a year.
