the exclusive control of both houses and how they have made use of the journals which we have pub lished from week to week, will in part disclose It will be seen that during the past week they have strip ped Litcheld county of the power of making any ap- continents except such as squared with the peculiar notions of Charles E. Phelps and other men of that stamp. In county meeting the nominations for Jud- ges ot Probate, for instance, pretty nearly equal
 y divided between the parties, except that the large districts were given to the democracy" But when the names of such capable and honest men as N. P. PERRY of Kent came before the House, up rises his Honor of Nonnewaugs and moves the substitution of Wells BeardsIee! and all "the democracy" cry out amen! Oh faugh! Hyperion to satyr''
 9TWe understand that on Saturday last the reso- lution for the repeal of the charter of the NewHaven City Bank he only bank in the state which pays spe- cie for its notes passed both houses of the legislature but that Gov. Edwards returned it with his Veto It did not afterwards pass by the constitutional majority of two-thirds nor even majority
 9rWe hope to be able, by next week, to give at least list of the titles of the acts passed by the late legislature Never, since have been in the state, have we found it so difficult to ascertain what was doing has been done in the legislature as at the re- cent session. .E
 In consequence of the restriction in the act allowing the Banks to issue small bills, it will probably prove mere nullity. The banks will not we presume issue $l and $2 notes to any great extent they are subject to be caught up immediately, returned to the banks, and the specie demanded We shall therefore have to depend upon Massachusetts and Rhode Island for bills to make change.
 Gr A resolution was passed by the Legislature on Thursday last appointing John C. Palmer and Isaac N. Pryor Bank Commissioners .e to investigate the concerns of Banks; and these Commissioners are ap- pointed by a subsequent resolution "to examine the accounts and inquire into the management of the Scool Fund.-" But what avail will this be? Will they be
 likely to investigate the political management of the Fund ? Both of the commissioners belonging to the dominant party, is it at all probable that they would be likely to report unfavorable even if they should dis cover that the Fund had been used to further political purposes? Why, if the legislature desired full and fair investigation to take place, was not some one of adverse politics appointed as is almost universally customary in delberative bodies when it becomes ne- cessary to use the probe? When, as an illustration, did the government when they wished an nvestiga- ton to be had with regard the U S. Bank, ever ap. point committee exclusively of the friends of the Bank? Nay, when did it ever appoint majority fa- vorable to that institution? We do not wish to be un- derstood as making any charges against the Comms- sioner-he may have conducted the affairs of the School Fund discreey it is possible for any one to do he certainly has increased it's productiveness
 he ay not have loaned out money to political friends and refused it to those of adverse sentiments-he may not have held rod those who have hired school fund land of him-he may not have appointed myrads of subagents throughout the country for any other ob ject than to benefit the fund-but do say and be- ieve that the entire management and control of a fund belonging the state to the amount of upwards of t'oo millions cf dollars ought to be entrusted to
 single induidual-especally, as has been before re- marked in this paper, when that individual is as gree dy of sPoILs" as we have reason to believe is Mir. Commissioner Beers
