THunsnAY, Jan. 25.

In the House, to-day, we have been en-
guged in the second reading Of Bills o
minor Importance. We had quite an a
musng discussion in relation to the boun
dairy line between Washington and Boil
var counties. The Coahoma Representa-
tive said he had small claim to part o
Bolivar. To settle all disputes, n PROPOSE
ton was made to divide Bolivar between
the Washington and Coahoma representa-
tives, but was lost. We have done moth
ing in one sense, and great deal in an
other, to witt in passing through Inc or
ders OF the day. In the Senate, the Union
Bank Bill was ordered to its third reading
by majority of one rote. The contest in
that body will be severe and doubgM.-
Nothing else Of Importance has occurred
in the H,use Of Lords, save the discussion
in relation to the Union Badk. There will
be incessant efforts made to adjourn, until
we accommodate the Insurgents. In all
probability we will not remain in session
more than three weeks Members are
becoming very Indifferent, and the House
10 never full only when questions are up
in which they all feel interested. The
longer we remain here, the worse it will
grow. 1t is supposed by some, that the
Legislature will adjourn over to next No
vember, others prefer January. We have
under consideration two important Bills.
Their object is, toprevent the immense ac-
emulation of local actS-incorporating
towns, churches, &c. Two-thirds Of our
time is spent in passing these corporation
laws. These Bills provide that when
towns have a specified number of inhabi-
tants, they shall be empowered to incorpo'
rate themselves, under certain restrictions.
The same is provided in regard to church
cs. If they should pass, as d! have no
doubt but they will, it will prove a prodi'
gious saving TO the State. They have
passed the Senate, and are now ready for
committee of the whole on tomorrow.
As to the course that will be pursued TO-
wards our Banks, am well satisfied that
they will not be forced into the resumption
of specie payments. All concede, with
the exception of few loco-ioco's headed
by our Governor, that the best policy is TO
let them alone. My own opinion is, that if
we adopt compulsory measures towards
the Banks, we viii make the matter worse,
and probably ruin the Banks and the pco-
pie. 1t might be good policy, to take off
the 49, per cent. damages to which they
arc liable, upon a foilure TO redeem their
notes in specie. By this means they would
be enabled to accommodate the people, and
also resume specie payment at an earlier
day. So long as these heavy damages arc
hanging over them, they cannot accommo-
date the people. And as they will not
probably resume before 1910, it is highly
necessary that, in the interval, they should
accommodate and indulge the community.
Yours. j. J. GRAVES.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. "a.


This morning was ushered in, 4 Report
from the Select Committee, appointed to
take into consideration so much OF the
Governors Message as relates 10 an eX-
preston Of our opinion in regard to Ma
tional Bank. As the Committee was raj
sed at the suggestion ola Van Buren, Dem
ocrat, of course, it breaihed IRE and lndIS-
nation against a National Bank. 1t seems
that heavy denunciations are held out, IN
terr0rem, over the nullners, to alarm and
frichtcn them into the ranks Of the Van
Burenites. Such are the limitations pro-
muged in the Report, and such arc the
calculations Of many Of the Democratic
wiseacres. When the question comes up
for discussion, | have no doubt but what
they will be satisfied with the arguments OF
the nuliiers. A motion was made to
print ten thousand copies Of the Report,
but was lost. We finally reduced II down
to 500. | myself voted against 800
thinking that 100 was sufficient; and |
have and shall invariably oppose this tat
tening of Printers, at the expense OF the
public. We often order 10000 copies oil
a document TO be published, and we never
see the half Of them, yet the stalled OIL
fice-holder receives pay for the whole
number ordered No man, think, can
assert that the number Of copies ordered to
be printed, are always published; Particu-
larly when such prodgious numbers are
called for. We have State House to
complete--a Penitentiary is to be erected
and there are a thousand Iaudable OBJ
iccts upon which our money could be ap-,
propriatcd, and save US the absurdlty OF
running into such q squandering and dis
sipation Of the public funds. ReIrench-
ment and Reform is my motto. The MI
noritv of the Bank Committee will give us
a Report 1t will probably be submitted
in the morning. This subject will elicit
considerable discussion. -
Nothing OF importance has occurred IN
the Senate to-day. They have spent the
whole day in considering an internal I'M
provement Bill. Tucker, on amendments
has consumed most Of the day in techni-
calities and bubbles. A violent effort is
now making to defeat the Union Bank, IN

initiate it, if possible; This oPPocsl',on o ~

No. They have "a discretionary power
