4 motion was made 10 call up The Joia' Teso'a-
I ton from the Senate ia relation TO the Revised
! Code, on whlch long debate ensued.
/ Mr. Butler, Of Lowndes, hoped the house
would sustain the call. The only reason he pre-
/ suned why gentlemen were opposed 10 taking Il
Up, was the great labor that would ensue IN GIVING
the work thorough examination. He had read
nearly all the work, aud he considered 1t an able
aud simpfed code, which could be understood
| by a large portion Of the population he hoped
therefore, that the house would agree to the reso-
luton from the Senate, as he for one was ready
and willing to incur the labor he was as anxious
to get through and go home as other gentlemen
though he did not wish TO leave until the Re
yIsed Statutes were thoroughly examined, IN Of
der that the people Of this State might know what
was the law OF the land.
The motion was sustained A to 43.
The bill to repeal the act of May ID, 1887,
relatye TO a" wrts of Error" was put or us third
reading and rejected.
Mr.. Saunders, from Holmes, las one of the
majority moved reconsideration OF the vote on
Yesterday relative 10 the code. " No, no." was
heard from all parts Of the house three uEsuc-
cessiul motions were made to adjourn; a call of
the house was made, and as the clerk was about
proceeding to take the ayes and noes. Mr.,
Clark rose, spoke in favor of reconsideration,
but was not in favor of adopting the code at all,
and at five IN the evening he gave way for mo-
ton to adjourn.
SATURDAY, Jan. 20.
The Senate took up the bill to amend the
Brandon bank; Judge Augustus in the chair.
Mr. Tucker again took up the floor and opposed
some offs provisions. After long debate it
Ha5 decided in the affirmative. Nothing else of
importance TRANSFERRED in the Senate to-day.
The house was occupied most Of the morning
in passing local bills. The join, resolution from
the Senate relative to the code was taken up,
and the whole matter postponed until January lst
1899. Our members were opposed TO this delay;
they do not shun the labor. At twelve o'clock
the house adjourned till Monday. Saturday is a
sort Of holiday for the servants Of the people, and
it is well enough perhaps to indulge them in "a lit
tie leisure, but the wholesome rule OF "no work
no pay" ought TO be extended to hem.

Mr. John Bell, Of Tennessee, who has evnced
a very strong disposition to eject Messrs. Clal'
borne and Gholson. right or wrong, yesterday
presented resolution, the substance of which
was, that the Committee on Elections, be instruct
ed to report to the House, all the testimony they
had received in relation to the Mississippi Elec-
ton, designating that which was received in Sep
TENDER from that which had been previously OBJ
tained What his objects were | cannot tell
II is clear, however, that they aimed at the INJURY
Of Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson.
The resolution was opposed by Messsrs. Ha-
mer of Ohio, Foster Of New York, Howard OF
Maryland and others, and was supported by
Messrs. Bell, Wise, Tillinghart of Rhode Island
and Bond The ayes and noes were demanded
and the resolution vast lost by vote OF 81 to W.
The remainder of the day was spent TX recelv-
ing petitions, and contrary to all our predictions
no excitement was produced. The abohtionlsls
did not think fit to get up row, and the day pass
ed calmly Off
Inthe Senate, Mr.. CaIhoun's resolutions against
abolition and in favor of State Rights were taken
up and discussed, and the two first adopted with
slight amendment. The Others remain 10 be act
ed upon.
From the North, we learn that great excite
menl exists on the northern frontier, and it is SAID
that the Canadian forces, Royalists, have set foo
on our domain. The tale is undoubtedly un.
founded in fact. Yours &c.

We had Message from the President to-day,
in relation to excitement that exists IN Canada
and on the border. The President states, that it
is so furious, that he cant maintain the nutral re-
lations, between this country and England He
asks for aid and military force. The subject
was referred to the Committee on Foreign AZ
fairs. In the Senate Mr.. Calhoun's Resolutions
were the order of the day, and produced great
warmth Of debate. Both Houses adjourned till
Monday.
We had bad accounts from the Canada border
to day. On the 30th ult. IA body OF Royalist at
tackled an American Steam Boat, near Navy Is
land, and after having killed % men, set her on
