The Sensto was not in session to-day
i as you are aware from the proceeding
n 1t stands adjourned TO Monday.
t In the House of Representatives tn
h Journal having been read, the considera
Ilon Of the Presidents message was re
sumed.
The question pending was Mr.. Ather
tons amendment to Mr.. Fillmor'S reso.
, luton This resolution was to refer 81
much OF The Presidents message as re
lates to the tariff question 10 the Commit.
lee on Manufactures. Mr.. Atherton's a.
mendment was 10 refer the committee on
ways and means.
Mr.. Jones, OF Virginia advocated a:
grea! length with much point and!proprie-
~ OF the reference 10 the committee on
ways and means, maintaining from the
expressions used by the President that
he entertained the subject merely with a
view 10 revenue and not protection.
Mr. Hunt thought it wrong to make this
a party measure. 1t was his desire 10 see
both north and south unite on middle
groond, embracing at once both revenue
and protection. The latter was demand
ed by the rigorous orders in council of
foreign nations. operating against the
productions of this country.
Messrs. Randolph and J.R. IngersoIl
replied to Mr.. Jones. They commended
that there was nothing in the M ssage op.
posed to the doctrine Of discriminating du
ties; on the contrary the message plains
ly threw upon Congress the task of re-
increase Of revenue with pro-
lection.
Mr.. Slanly followed on the same side,
aiming many arrows at Virginia abstrao-
lions.
MIR. Slade next obtained the floor, but
it being within quarter Of three O'Clock,
he gave way for motion to adjourn =
and the House then adjourned 10 Monday
next.
1t is thought the tariff question will be
The most debatable question this session.
1t is likely TO occupy length of time in
each Honse.
The question Of the fiscal agency, it is
believed, will not engross so much OF the
time Of Congress as tho tariff question.
The most debatabe subject in the Sc
nate, for some time, will probably be TO
repeal Of the distribution bill. At press
ent, there seems 10 be an indspostion in
the Senate 10 enter the arena Of party
politics.

SNNnSoNj January ~, iofI'
love you m apology for not having
written you at an earlier period, the de-
lay has been caused in part, owing 10 my
i'll health, and waiting for the final action
of the legislature, upon some matter, of a
general nature.
bill has passed The Senate TO repeal
the Act, commonly called the woman's
law.
And bill has been introduced 10 repeal
the gallon law, one to repeal the valuation
law, and one to repeal the Act, exempt.
ing 100 acres Of land, and $500 worth
OF townlots, from sal under execution.
Neither the Joint, Select, nor Standing
Committees, have reported any thing OF
a general nature, and ain of the opin-
ION that no benefit will result to the State
to justify u protracted session.
Some days since visited the Peniten-
liary. The conyicts appear to be all in
good health, the work in the different
shops appeared to be p rogressng with
nealness and despatch, some were black
smlthlng others were engaged a, wagon
work, shoe making, and weaving.
The outer wall is nearly finished, the
committee appointed by he Legislature to
examine the Ponitentiary, have not yet
reported, consequently | can say nothing
relative TO the income or expenditure.
Some days since ! introduced resoIu-
ton, instructing the Joint Select Commit

the assets for the purpose of exringuish-
ing its liabilities, Notwithstanding the re-

The Louisville Journal states that q
letter has been received in that city. from
the Hon, John Pope Of the House Of Rep>
rosen'atlycs, in which he expressed the
opinion that such a law would pass The
House by large majority, and probably
the Senate, The locos opposed the law
during the extra session, and will urge It's
repeal no doubt, while many wings who
are opposed to the law, in principle, will
vote for its repeal. Many o. the provis
ions Of the act are too impracticable to BE-
performed, and should be amended
The Legislatures Of Indiana, Tennes

sing the ineXfcdiency Of forcing a re.
sumption Of specie payment by the banks,
in these States. They cannot force the
banks to do any such thing. The ching

Judge GuIon Senator from Warrer
county has introduced bill into the Sc.
nate, to lie entitled San act to regulate
the practice and proceedings of the sew,
eraI courts Of record in this State, in GER
tain eases" which is certainly Of novel
and singular character. The Southron
gives The prominent features of said bill
which are as follows
That in all iud sments heretofore rem.
dered by any court Of record within this
State. which has been or may be returned
"HHia ba7lI," as 10 the defendants and
upon which the plaintiffs fail to pay the
costs that have accumulated, the sheriff
shall expose the Judgment o public sale,
Tor The costs and attorney S commissions;
that the pa chaser Of Judgments SO sold
shall be vested with all the legal rights
app"rianing 10 the original plaintiffs
and Ina, such ultimate proceedings shall
constitute part Of the record in The
case. We do not pretend to give an
analysis Of the proposed law in It's details
but will remark that ample protection is
thrown around the rights Of all parties
Ly the requirement of due notice of the
time and place Of sale, and by a delay OF
more llIau six months alter the return OF
"nWiia iona I" before sale of the iudg
ment can take place.
The effect Of such law we are inclin,
ed 70 think would be salutary. First, it
would enable the clerks and sherifTs and
attorneys TO realize heir fees. and com
missions, in cases Of non resident plains
tih's, whereby under the existing laws,
they realize nothing Second, it would
act as relief law, in many cases. 10 in.

ed aa3}q bona by the sheriff might be sold,
and purchased by the friends Of the in,,
solvent debtor, at a mere song the pur,
chaser might enter upon the record sat
isiacllon for the Glazing which would set
free the debtor from the burdens incident
10 bis case. As tie law now exist, for.
ojgn plaintiffs are vested with rights in
such cases which resident plaintiffs do
nci enjoy When an execution is return
ed " au'ia bona," belonging to a resident
plaintiff the officers have their process by
