On Fi -iii 'V tl'c 1 1th ir.it. a Ipe cial c(uirt of Oyer and Terminer, and General Jail Delivery, commenced in this town prefent the honorable Judges Yaader Burgh and Parke, for the trial of Abraham lhk indicted for the murder of John Coihnan. On Saturday, the jury brought in "a verdict of Guilty; and on Thu: Tduy, by his hoiicr Ju Vander Burpi, fentence of death, was pronounced upon the criminal, and lie was remanded to prifon. Ye iliall hereafter prefent cur readers with a report of this cafe in detail. - Saturday the 29th is thb day fixed for Hilcv's execution. " X On Thursday last the fo! living jilessa.ze vas reeehetl from the Governor . the House of Representatives, of this Territory Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and House of Repnsentalives. At the opening of the prefem fcflion, I recommended to die two hotnesto fake the Militia law in

to their fenous conhderation, for the-purpofe of amending ftieh parts ot ii as were fufet ptihle of improvement. T now reiterate rny z -quell on that fu'decl. From the critical examination" whicli I have late ly "ae'itlie law, it appears to he m rr delVflie, than i had at sir ft hippokd. It appears that the commander in chief is only rnithorifed by that law, to rail the militia into actual fiwvice, when there ih an aclual or threatened "mvafion. There are a ,thoi:fav.d exigencies, which may require a part cf tin militia to he called out, other thai that of an imation, and in even jlate of the Union, the executive i invel't-d with diis power. It may indeed be fiippofed that tile rig!:: is inherent in the coniin'dP.on ol commanth r in chief, however this be, it is evident v. ith.out the aio of tin -laws he cannot enforce ln.- ;rd. is Lor o mind the ohedli' i.a n.iv;t?es. liutihenioll

I preiume he is to far correct but his allertion that the Board has been guilty of unpardonable negligence is unfounded ; and the only excufe which Air.

lieve that there is, in the weftern country, a man who is more criti: cally exacl in filing papers- and doing bufmefs in his oilice than Mr Michael Jones. But where does Mr. R ice Jones get his information? He has a flu red to me it was a report.' The laei is fir, he has had a difpute with one of tlv Board; and in his paflion "his capacious mind cannot take a tingle object of revenge ; jie grafps at every public officer.
