THE ENQUIRER. LlTcHFTFE6. JANUARY %, lss7.

SAass CoapsmtiOn will be seen by notice in our paper this week that Whig State Convention is call cd to be held in Harsfofd on the 29A of next mOnth- We like the plan of holding it dh the anniversary of the brthday of the Father of ts Country;' but we think there are insukrdble objections to holding it on ahe day ef he wsak upon which that falls this year. Monday is an exceedingly bad day for State assem- blaze. It might answer very well for county CT dis tsict convention, where the members can go and re- turn the same day By holding . State Convention on that day. however, nearly one half Ot the towns nust necessarily be unfgpreeented. Besides people travelling forty or fifty miles day would feel little prepared to mngIe in the discussions which might arise No portion of the western part of this county, or of the eastern parts of New London and Wndham counties, and none of Fairfield could attend on Mon day with any kind of convenience except by breaking in upon the Sabbath It will, in opinion, be the means of preventing good many delegates from go- ing who might under other circumstances be glad to mngle in the deliberations of that body. Fairfield county, at the best is dlatory enough; but with this arrangement, we doubt whethef she would send halfa dozen members. Any other day we conceive, would be better We would therefore suggest to the State Central Committee the propriety of alteration to Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday (he latter would Bult Oe0tI uAcSuHES UsS ut0y accommodated and all attend at the opening of the session It is certainly desirable that there be full representation. We trust old Litch6eld county will be prepared to give good account of herself.
 0rP. S. Since the above was in type. we learn that the notice calling the meeting printed incor recty in the Review-it shou1d have been Wednesday Ge s2d So that all the complaining part goes for nothing.
 1Re Erpunging Resolutions.-Mr. Thomas Hum- bug Benton has at length succeeded in finding Sen ate servile enough to do his bidding in having the fol- lowing resolution of the Senate, passed in 1884, sex pungcd' from its records, what to him amounts to
 the same thing, black marks dr.wn around 1t, and the word ExrUNeED'' written over it:-
 @~~>~~~~~~~&~~~900 ~900~~~~~~~~~~~~~~9 : RxsoLvEp, That the President, in tke late<< Erccut;re proceedings in relation to the Pub $lic Rerenue, has assumed upOm himself 0utho- $rity and po,ver not conferred by Ghe Constisu- tiOn aud La,cs, but in derogation of both. Originally passcd--Yeas 26. Nays 20. ! S~~~~~~~~>~~~~~OOS OOS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o
 On the preceding page we have given pretty full account of the proceedings and debate upon the ex punging resolutions and here add the yeas and nays placing the yeas in the form in which the muttated record will hereafter stand:-

 The modus operandi of expunging is not so specifi- cally given. We therefore copy an account of this operation given by correspondent os the Journal of Commerce. That writer says-"The Secretary of the Senate brought the Journal of 1883 3l into the Chamber, and spread open the condemned page upon his table. The opposition Senators had nearly all of them left the Chamber, and the four and twenty 'Spungers were left in sole and uninterrupted posses sion of their victim The Secretaty then proceeded according the of the resolution to draw black
 lines on four sides of the recorded Resolution of 1884, and then branded upon its face "Expunged by order 6f the Senate Jan 10th, 1s37." The mutilation be- ing complete, . volley of hisses was heard from the galleries which were ordered to be cleared. One in- divdual was arrested and brought before the Senate He asked whether he would be in order to vndicate himself Some conversation atose upon this applica. sion pending which the prisoner was dismissed, on motion of Senator, only 24 present and votng.''
 In another part of his letter. the writer remarks "1he resolution of 1884 voted for by tCentyeghl Senators, the Senate then consisting of forty-eght members. I, has been expunged by a vote of only sscentyo~r Senators, minority of the present num- Der of Senators, which is fifty. How far such vote will go to annhate the force ofthc act of twenty Senators, according to Mr. Buchanans notions, the public will judge"
 THE SUEPLus.-In our last paper VIC gave calcu- laton of the amount of the surplus funds which each town in this county would receive, based upon the sum of @ 42 r each inhabitant. In the last Hart ford papers We have the Treasurer's statement of what each town will receive upon the first payment, that is. one quarter of the whole amount The follow ing is the amount for Li.chted county, to which have annexed the total sum. It will be seen that eeeds our calculation 2 few dcllass in each town:
