down, j. II. Lake, the Canadian mis-
slonary, arose and said the man who
spoken had been expelled by the saints

BILL OF RIGHTS.
As Adopted bv the Con. ventiOn of State Makers
 at PheniX>

The first idea of what has been done toward framing the constitution is conveyed by the bill of rights as adopt ed on Tuesday last. The Gazette prints the most important parts which will prove of great interest to the gen. er"l public.
 The bill divides the powers of thr government of the state into three dis. tinct departments, the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial.
 The power of the federal government over the state is recognized as su- preme.
 The military is declared to be in sutarlinaiion to civil power.
 The right to hear arms in defense of self or governm ment is allowed.
 The right of person and property trials, suits. punishments and the process of obtaining witnesss are justly provided for. Where the value in controversy exceeds $2O the right of trial by jury is preserved. Unless for capital "ffenses all prisoners are bail. able. No bill of a,ta,nder or FIX POST FACTo law shall be made. Inprison ment for debt, except in cases of fraud is denied. A three fourlhs verdict in crimes less than felonies is allowed.
 Perpetuities and monopOlies are de- clared to he against the genius of free government and are prohibited.
 The free exercise of religious wor- ship is vo1chsafeG, and no person is excluded from holding office or acting as juror because of his religious be- lief.
 Bigamy and practices of polygamy are chased as felon;es and subject to punishment as other felonies.
 Elections are declared to be open, free and equal, and civil or military interference is denied, and property qualifications are repudiated.
 Lotteries are prohibited, railroads are declared to be public highways and few other unimportant sections completes the provisions of the Bill of Rights. the adoption of which con- stunned tue entire day.
