SAXONY.

DRESDEN, Jan. 7.

In to-day's sitting of the Upper House several
resolutions against the new Federal Penal Code
came on for discussion.

Count IL llohenthal oppwe I the further exten-
sion of the agreement enabling the North German
Confederation to dictate laws relative to the inter-
nal affairs to the several component States.

Professor Heing..ze severely censured the pro-
posed mode of dealing with political crimes whereby
the various States would be placed on a level with
mere provinces, and their rulers lowered to the
condition of mediatised Federal princes. This,
he observed, amid great applause, could only serve
the more surely to estrange South Germany
from the Confederation. None of the Ministers
spoke on the subject. Finally the report of the
committee opposing the retention of capital punish-
ment and the application of the Criminal Code to
simple police offences was unanimously adopted.
The Lower House passed the law relating to re-
liglous sects, including the clause permitting civil
marriage in cases of unavoidable necessity. Ocher
resolutions exceeding the limits of this concession
were rejected.
