RICHMOND, JAN. ~. 1875.
arbe Senate have ~ day rejected the sub.
- offered to the Convention bill by MIR.
ssuN.angooIe. by a vote of l4t 10. There are
,mendments however offered by afr.
oc.ssil. who voted 10 she majority on that &C.
80 IN. without the adoption OF which. he says,
e-'Ii vote against the bill. What they are
ps..,lv cannot say, but if they do no, impair
e'1 ,',,ncioles Of the bill materially, we shall
lns .,f;nIy adopt them, and then presume the
S.s viii continue in the Senate, on the pas
VIZ W. of the bill, the same as on the rejection
- substitute. The circuit court bill is yet
o. tsr DISCUSSION in the House of Delegates, and
vo,h;nk will pass that body, although tor res.
- which will hereafter assigb to you and
~ neople, 1 have been unable to persuade
ssssH TO vote for it. 1t is notonly unconstitu-
,;9n,I in my opinion, but it turns out of office,
- think, every superior court clerk in the
Commonwealth, and leaves them entirely at the
mercy Of the Judges for re appointment"
Er,ract Of anoiter, dated Richmond, Jan 80.
81 wrote you yesterday evening, informing
VOL of the progress OF the Convention bill in
he Senate; the debate was resumed TO-DAY,
Mr.. Cabelfs amendments rejected, and the bill
osssed without the slightest amendment, as it
went from this House.
"The debate is still going on here on the
circuit court bill; think there is no doubt of
is passing this body, although its tate 10 the
Senate is more doubtful"
New Orleans papers to the 9Th ult i.
have been received at New York They
state that the 9Th proved very wet and
unfavorable for the great celebration
Gen. Jackson, on board the Pocahon-
tas, with large procession in twenty
four other steam boats, passed down to
the Battle Ground about 10 O'Clock, and
were occupied with the ceremonies at
that place until about Q P. NJ. The pro
cession then returned to the city, where
other ceremonies and rejoicings were
to take place.
This whole affair, got up with so
much care, to effect political scheme,
will after all eventuate in nothing. The
people, after the glare and glitter and
pomp of the day, have faded away, will
return to the sober business and habits
of life, and with them, to their reason
and reflection. Louisiana is not to be
won from the cause of civil liberty, By
the splendors of a military pageant.
The Legislature of Maryland, in &C.
cordance with the known wish of ma.
jority Of the people of that State, has
conceded the right OF Congress to legis-
late for the promotion Of Internal I'm
provement.-The following resolution
was adopted by vote of 49 to 10.
RssolUsd. by the General Assembly
Of Maryland, That we do consider the
Congress of the United States as pos
sessing full power, to subscribe to such
objects of internal improvement as they
may deem important TO the prosperity
and welfare Of any portion Of the com
munity. 1890

Duty on Sait.-In some remarks
made by us on Saturday upon the sub
|ect of protecting duties, we referred, as
an evidence of the Inconsistency of those
who oppose them as unconstitutional, to
petition from Virginia, against the re.
peal Of the duty on salt.
In the Western V.rginian (printed IN
Charleston, Kenawha county, Va. re-
;eived this morning, we find set forth
he proceedings of the meeting which
'depted this petition, and subjoin the
eading resolution:
On motion, it was resolved, that the
committee be, and they are hereby in
to sign the said memorial, for
nd on behalf Of the manufacturers Of
alt in this county, and that they trans
ait the same to the Hon. Littleton Wal
er Tazeweil and the Hon. John Tyler,
With the respectful request of this meet
ne, that they will lay the same before
he Senate of the United States, and use
heir best exertions 10 arrest the pro-
Fess of a measure, which threatens the
rostration of an important branch of
'lrginia manufactures, at this time en-
aging large amount of capital. and
wing employment TO no inconsiderabie
orton of the labor Of this quarter of
he State.
1t will be seen that the repeal of the
nty is opposed on the express ground,
lat such repeal threatens "the prostra-
on OF an important branch Of Virginia
1t will puzzle Messrs. Tazewell and
yler to reconcile this doctrine with
nat which they hold under Gov. Giles;
the unconstitutionality ofall the pro.
