Correspondence OF the American.

HAnR,saURG, Feb. I, Is43.
DrAu SRA The mos, important measure that
the Legislature has acted upon during the session
was the passage of The Bill, on Mcndsy last, which
provides that 800 900 o! the Relief notes shail be
cancrlled every month. The passage of this bill
was like an electric shock to many Of the don,es-
tic crr,]i,ors who were on their way to Harrisburg
from all parts Of the state under the expectation Of
receiving their quos of Relief Eo,cs, authorised by
law to I've paid TO the domestic creditors on the lst
of this mun,h, On the day following, Mr.. Eiwell
submitted the following resolution which was TAX.
en- up on second reading:
Resolved, That the committee Of Ways and
Means he INSTRUCTED to enquire into the expedency
Of btinpnc in hill TO provide that after the first
cancellation of one hundred thousand dollars of,he
relief notes under the resolution recently passed,
/ there shall I've no more of the said notes cancelled
until the frs, day of May nex,-and then only in
monthly sums Of fifty thousand dollars.

mends the act materially, was warmly discussed,
