Monday, the Sd inst, in the forenoon, the bill winch
had been vetoed by the Governor and had subsequent
ly passed the Senate by the constitutional majority,
came up, was debated and lost-ayes 49, noes 45-nol
two thirds The bill was thus considered finally re-
iected The House then adjourned until half past 3
o'clock in the afternoon. At quarter past three,
every man who was in Of the bill in his seat,
and the hands of the clock had been moved forward to
the regular time of meeting Very few OF the oppo-
nents Of the bill had appeared motion was i'm.
mediaely made to reconsider the vote Of the morning
the previous question demanded, 10 cut oft
all debate, and by this coup de main the motion to re-
consider decided in the afirmatve-yeas Az, nays
10 Before the shameful trick could be carried out,
however, enough of the opponents of the bill had ar
rived to put veto upon its further progress
We know Of nothing that comes quite up to this
mark except the scene in the Illinois Legislature,
when sundry members eaped over each others heads,
apd the windows, 10 prevent the forming Of a
Quorum on an occasion what similar to the pre-
sent. What will not bank ridden stock ridden, and
debtoverwbelmed States do, to disgrace themselves
Their twsiings and turnngs not unlike those of
individual bankrupt striving TO keep up his credit after
his capital is exhausted
p S. Since the above in type, we have received
intelligence from Harrisburg that the Legislature ad-
journed on Tuesday night-that the revenue bill was
finally amended proposed by the Governor and be-
came law. The Harrisburg Reporter says that the
House passed bill giving the u S. Bank authority
to wind up-in other words, 10 appoint executors.
This bill has passed both Houses. So that the
Bank has been fully legslated for and we hope it may
be amply sufficient TO put it quietly out Of existence.
