sometimes regret that the Herald is not poll
teal paper, or that political party articles in
compatible with its character. Ii would give me
considerable satisfaction, the woman said, when
she was looking for the body Of her drowned hus
band to speak Of some of the Focos from your city
in such terms az they deserve and should like
also to tell the truth of some of the stupid Wings
but know your indifference to everything of part
nature, and | must content myself with such Occa-
sional drops as can smuggle in, without showing
my teeth too plainly.
Mr.. Joe Hoxie came up yesterday, and he was
stalking about the capitol, looking as mysterious and
solemn as if he the Atlas of the party He told
everybody that would listen to him that he was
called ont of church on Sunday ia order to be con-
suited about the Registry Bill. Joe thinks himse Elf
a stupendous fellow, and the Governor thinks him
an ass. Which is right T.!
The Registry Bill was signed last night, and is
new the law of the land. Mr., Spencer after delay
ing the business for a couple OF days, and kicking
up the DEVILS delight in the Wing ranks, withdrew
his opposition satisfied that he had made his power
and felt. The Governor sent message to the
Senate this morning, announcing that he ha9 signed
the Bill, and stating that careful perusai OF ITS de-
tails had induced him to believe that the laudable
purposes of the Legislature would not be accom-
plished without some modification. But, he said,
the bill intended to apply to your charter
election, and there were no defects in the pro-
vision that relate to that election, he had approved
it, The necessary amendments, he said, could be
made previous to the adjournment OF the Legisa-
ture The Registry Law, l anticipated in my
letter of the 10Th, will appear in the Journal Of this
evening. The commissioners to discharge the duties
prescribed by the law, are Prescott Hall, William
A. Lawrence, and Stephen Allen. The Governor
does not suppose Mr.. Allen will accept, but as he
urgently and strenuously recommended the passage

liar fitness in the selection. If your Loco Foc0 Cor
poraton disregards this law, it is understood they
purpose to, the very Senate which passed it, sitting
in the court of last resort, will OF course affirm its
consttutionality, and your nufers will be de.
feated.
The House today passed their Currency Bill
The Senate Bill, providing for the redemption o
all country notes at half per cent was knocked or
the head, and Mr.. Mann's proposition to compel all
the banks in the State to take each others notes al
par in the payment of debts, substituted. The As
sembly Bill will go to the Senate tomorrow, but
there is no probability of its being concurred in.
The Senate spent the whole day in discussing the
canal enlargement project, but the main question
was not taken.
proposition to dimini sh the size of the enlarge
ment from 20 feet wide and feet deep, to 60 feet
wide and feet deep, introduced by MIR. Paige, will
be discussed tomorrow 1t is difficult to predict its
fate with any degree of certainty. The Senators
from the Canal section determined to defeat it,
if possible, but have some hopes that it may pre-
vail.
Neither Mr.. Folsom, MIR. Rapellie, Misthur
O'Sargeant. Mr.. Peter Townsend, nor Mr.. Stone, is
TO have the Holland mission. am inclined to be-
ieve that the Governor will at last take the advice
of his real friends, and appoint Mr. l.. ID. Chaplin
Mr. c. is amply qualified for the oftce--is too mo-
dest to obtrude his claims pretcnsons, and rests
solely on his instrinsic worth shall acquaint his
Excellency with the true state of the case in few
DAYS and shall also take the liberty to express my
own views on the subject do not affect to suppose
that the Herald has any very extraordinary influence
in procuring an appointment for any body, but its
capacity for defeating the hopes of incompetent un-
worthy odious applicants, is not to be questioned
