PEkNsYLvANlA.-The Resumption Bill
has received the signature of Governor
Porter, and is now law. This bill re-
CURES the Banks in Pennsylvania to re-
sumo specie payments on the 18th Janu-
airy, lS4l, and so far authorizes the sus-
pension, as to absolve the banks from
any liability therefor, that might work a
forfeiture of charter. In other respects,
the existing laws relative to contracts be-
tween banks and people, and to the means
OF enforcing them, remain unaltered by
the bill.
The bill authorizing the banks of the
State to issue four millions of dollars in
small notes, has passed final reading in
the Senate, by vote of l6 to- l3. 1t is
thought likely to pass the House also.
The resolutions submitted by MrPenn-
rose in favor Of protective tariff, have
passed third reading in the Senate. An
other decisive sign is, that the Resolu-
ton of Mr. Williams, in favor of distri.
button of the proceeds of the sales Of the
public lands, have passed third reading in
the Senate by vote Of II to 8. The
eight nays were all of the office holders

OUrRAGE.-A brutal attack was made
in the House Of Representatives, of Penn
svlvania, during the sitting, Ivy Mr. Nc
Elwee, the member from Bedford, who is
a large muscular man, on Mr. Higgins, of
Northumberland, who is not only man
of unusually small size, but also a cripple,
and in ill-heal,h. During the debate on a
bill introduced by Mr. McElwee, he walk
ed across the hall TO the seat of Mr. Heg-
ins, and, after some abusive language and
epithets, actually spit in his face, as is as.
serted, while the latter was in his seat.
Mr. Higgins instantly rose and struck him;
and, at that point, the work of personal
violence was stayed, and Mr. McElwee
returned to his seat. The parties are
both Loco Foco; and Mr. Penniman. a
member of the same party, Immediately
after the outrage, offered resolution for
the appointment of committee TO ell.
quire and report what steps should be Ia
ken to maintain the dignity Of the House
which was adopted. One should think
that if, in these days, any course of con.
duct in member would justify expul

an outrage, under such circumstances.
