into committee without even asking a
vote on the question of joining.
4th. Mr. Potter relies mainly on the
effect of the resolution of the House dis
pensing with further trial for Governor
and Senators until the annual election.
1t is well known that there is an express
provision for contingency of this nature
in the act of the Assembly of January
1882; that the resolution of the House
was nothing more than a declaration of
its intentions in conformity with the act;
and that it passed unanimously, and as is
believed, with the assent of Mr. Potter.
And yet MIR p. and his friends would
have US believe that the effect of the re-
solution was to abrogate that act alto
gether; that such vote having passed
there was neither Governor nor Senate
in existence; and consequently no cleo
ton of U S. Senator! If such were the
fact, it would be curious subject of in.
curry how the various matters of legsla-
ton which passed through the House af-
ter the adoption of that vote, could be
submitted to this nuIlified Governor and
Senate; and how MIR Potter and his
friends could concur and non-concur in
variety of amendments, which were
sent from those gentlemen when accord
ing to the theory, they had long since
passed away into utter annihllation, un-
der this abrogating resolution.
9th. 1t is worthy of remark, that sub
sequent to the resolution complained of,
this very Governor and Senate amended
a bill from the House on the very general
subject cf the manner of electing Repre-
sentatives to Congress; and that the gen.
tlemen, who signed the Protest, ,all voted
to concur with their amendment.
We might pursue this strange tissue
OF Inconsistencies and absurdities yet
farther, but enough has been said to
shew the entire want of soundncss in the
whole of the proceedings on the part of
the dissentients.

THE PROTEST-It will on

THE PROTEST.-It will enable
our readers to put proper estimate or
the absurd attempt Of Mr. Potter and his
partlzans to protest against the election
of the Hon. ASHER RoBBINs to the Uni
ted States Senate, to bear in mind few
facts which defy contradiction.
1st. Mr. Potter himself has always
admitted the validity of the law for con-
tlnuing the Governor and Senate; and
even now says, that it is perfectly sound
and constitutional, and that they are full
ly competent to participate in the passage
OF laws and the election of officers, con-
fning Their action 10 biis State erclusirelu.
Ills great difficulty is, that they are not
duly authorized to act on general sub
jects, and to elect y. S. Senator
Cd. Mr. Potter and his friends. and the
friends Of Mr. Pearcc, with the excep-
ton Of Mr. D'WolO went into Grand
Committee on the 18th inst. without lisp.
ing word in opposition to its competen-
cy. Mr. Potter suffered himself TO be
nominated, and voted for himself in tbi.
pretended illegal committee; and would
have availed himselft to the utmost of any
decision in his favor, if it could have pos
sibly been obtained for him.
Sd. In the debate in the House. or
Saturday morning previous to the meet.

jcct could be postponed to Tuesday. th,

ment, striking out the order Of notice,
with which the House noli-concurred,
and the Senate insisted.
The Senate also concurred with the
vote ofthe House relative to the maps of
the State, with an amendment, making
an entire different distribution of them,
with which the House non concurred and
the Senate insisted. Both ofthese votes
were therefore lost.
Mr. c. Allen presented remonstrance,
signed by thirty members of the House,
against the election Of Asher Robbins as
Senator to Congress, and moved that it
be entered on the journal of the House
An animated debate ensued thereon,
when the motion was finally rejected, by
a vote of yeas 26, nays 90.
The Assembly adjourned on Thursday
evening last, at 10 o'clock, to meet in
Newport on Tuesday, next preceding the
first Wednesday in May.

rendered a little not enough to return to
its place-what l felt and heard of the
crush resembled the return Of bone that
was dislocated-just below the shoulder
blade on the back were two marks Of a
brown yellowish color with black marks
around them.
Mr. Staples moved the court to exam
inc another female in private on another
point, but the court refused, afterwards
counsel for prisoner consented.
.Ann S. Norton of Tiyerton, said she
sat by the south window of her fathers
house, and saw gentleman coming from
the bridge walking very fast-observed
to parents if he walked at that rate he
would get to Ohio before night-as he
approached said to some one that he was
coming to the Post Office, kept in the
same building. Observed his dress think
ing it was the Methodist Minister from
Bristol or the Island-then upon second
view concluded it was the minister from
Bristol az she had seen him once on the
commons at Bristol, just at dark--observ-
ed his box coat, he had one, should have
taken it for a black, it was very dark
mixed, it looked black in the street-his
hat rather wide brimmed, which made
me think he was Methodist Minister
did not say TO parents that she thought
him a ministcr-though she had seen
the same man passing that way before. =
1t was Dec. Goth a few minutes past 9
O'Clock. He did not have spectacles
on-hair very dark and complexion too;
don't think she should know the man
had cane. On cross examination she
said the first person to whom she men
toned, she thought he was minister,
was MIR Harnden yesterday forenoon
HIS hat first attracted her attention; no
shirt collar. Thought the same person
passed there about 3 or weeks before,
thinks he then had cane; carried his
head re'y lille on one side.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Continuation of The Proceedings ofMe As
semJly, IN addition 10 those published in
our last.
On Wednesday, the report Of the COM
mittee of accounts was taken up. Among
them, was the account of three officers
who attended upon the Court at the ex-
animation in Bristol, of Ephraim X. Ave-
ry, for their services. MIR Elisha II. Pot
ter objected to these accounts on the
ground that the Court had no jurisdic-
tion of the case. 1t was however con-
tended, that the officers were entitled to
their fees whether the Court had iuris-
diction or not. MIR Halle, Zone of the
Justlces) went into an argument in sup
port Of the correctness of the decision of
the Court, and of their having jurisdic-
ton in the case. The question on al
lowing the accounts, was then postponed
to the May session.
The memorial relating to the repeal of
the masonic charters of incorporation,

of expression, received and referred with

the committee appointed at June session
on the Maps of the State, was taken up,
read and received. The question as to

casioned some debate, and was finally

on.

To the Editor of the Herald ofthe Times;
SIR-I have been informed from seve-
raj different sources, that reports are in
circulation that E. X. Avery is a mason,
and that feelings unlavorable towards
him are entertained in conse quence of
the belief of this fact.-I have thought
it my duty to him and to the community.
in this public manner to state, that he is
not, and has neper been mason. do
not perceive that his guilt or innocence
depends on his being a mason or not
That must depend on the proof which
shall be adduced on his trial. All ask
in his behalf is, that the public mind may
not be poisoned with falsehood in rela-
ton to him, and that he may have a full,
fair, and impartial trial.
Yours, with respect,

Mr.. Clay's Land BH.--This bill has
again passed the Senate. 1t provides,
that Of the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands, seventeen and half per
cent. shall first be assigned to the new
states, and then to divide the residue a..
mong the twenty states. To make
the new states equal, specific grants of
land are made by the bill to those new
states which have not received so much
as the rest. Twelve and a halrper cent
of the seventeen, to the new states, to
be at their disposal, either for the purpo-
ses Of education, or to the colonization of
free people of color, or for internal i'm
provements or in debts which may have
been contracted for internal improve
ments. Its duration is limited to five
years, unless war with foreign power
should occur, in which event the pro-
ceeds are to be applied to the carrying on
the war. When peace shall have been
concluded, and the debt created by such
war, discharged, the funds are again to
return to the first intention of the bill
