The constitutionaI convention is espeilitiog tbe foundation of tbe repoblie. Today as we go to press. up to Art. ‘2fi has passed the second readmgwith comparatively no discassion. Under Art. 7 a successful elfort was made by the government party to ameud. so as to euable the government to appeul against the decision of a conrt and have a defendant recommitted for trial. The ayes an«l noes shewed the followiug division: Ayes. BoIte. Brown,Carter.Dole, Hatch. Horner, Iosepa, Kahanlelio, Kalua, Kauhane, King. Lyman, McCandiesa, Mendo>ic,i, R;ce. M. O. Smith, Tenuv. Waterhouse, A. S. Wilcox, G. N. Wilcox, Wilder, Young. Noes; j Ables. Alleu, Damon. £mmeluth, Ena, Fernandes, Morgan. Nott, Robertsou. D. B. Smitb. Vivas. There was a little sp irring in the forenoon over givingthe Minister of lnterior the power of repeating certificates of natnralization granted.by jndges, as found in article 17, sec. 4. Del. Ables . who led the opposition. took it all back after hmeh. He, no doubt, had bis errors abont a one-man republic corrected, and concluded with the AttorneyGeneral that a firra despotism was the correct thing, and the ’ section passed as priuted In Art. 18, there was too mueh Asiatic open door to please our Vivas and a motion to re commit bv him was lost.
