Rieanoxp. March 9, 1888.
The ordinary business Of the lasttwo weeks
has already been spread before your readers,
and there 10 but little which deserves especial
notice.
Tho Internal Improvement subject has not
been under dkcussion for ten days past, and
the probability now Is, that having been
thrown into what is commonly called ",he
heel Of the session" il will not receive so de-
liberaie consideration as it deserves. When
tho report was last before the House, Mr..
MeDo~IIL Of Roek5rdge. made a mos, eIo-
quent and beautiful speech ia its behalf So
thrilling was she effect on the House and the
auditors, that Spontaneous burst OF applause
was elected at its close and I believe II the
vote could have been taken at that moment,
very decided msjoriiy would have been
found in its favor.
The House, however, at a future day, re-
fused to postpone the subject indie finileiy, and
the committee have since reported n bill
The synopsis OF the estimated cost Of the pro-
posed improvements. (pubiished in the city pa
Pers,) will give you an idea OF the magnitude
OF the scheme, and enable you to see 10 what
extent The committee desire to carry the sys-
ten. The bill has not received any attention
for several days, owing TO the confederation
Of the bill concerning the Banks OF the Con-
monwealih.
Thia later bill has been the subject OF the
most tedious and vexatious debate, but Il has
undergone very little alteration from the form
IN which the committee presented il. nwa.
thia day, ordered TO be engrossed for third
reading, and will no doubt pas. tomorrow.
The House was near fixing upon this bill,
IN moment Of fOrge,fulne.s, the odious fea-
ture (noved By Mr.. WooLFoLx) Of giving
power TO the Assembly 10 alter, modify or re
Ps~i, at its pleasure, the charters Of such
Banks as accepted the indulgence granted By
the terms Of the bill. Mr.. Boris called al
Ientieu 10 the destructive and bIightinr cha
rseier Of The amendment, and il YES iunns.
