| Ga motion of Mr.. CHURCH, the COMMITTEES on
the Public Printing was discharged from a farther
consideration Of the Senate bill, whish was re-
frrred to the Committee of the Whole.
The Assembly bill appointing E. Croswell State
Printer then came up. Mr.. LELAND made a few
remarks concerning it, and sent en amendment to
the first section, providing that the State Printer
be appointed for two years by the two Houses
He spoke very pontedly Of the trouble which the
dominant party had encountered in the effort to
settle this vitaly important question as to who
should be State Printer, and said, with deep re-
greet that the question Of spoils had become very
absorbing question: 1t was, he said, not ques-
ton Of principle, but one Of nags, for the Govern
or to ride and he advised him TO stick to the old
White Horse. He offered the amendment in the
hope to do something toward healing the breach.
The SPEAKER deprecated the introduction Of
the private quares ofthe party into the discussions
of the House. They should be lief, out OF doors,
he said.

thought it matter of great Importance who should

Conference.-The Wings of the Land of
Steady Habits held strong Convention at Hart
ford on Wednesday, and nominated tho following
Ticket for State Officers, to be elected next April
ROGER S. BALDWIN SIs;nS, ofNew Haven;
Lieut.. Goosrnor:
REUBEN BOOTH, of Danbrry.
JEREMIAH BROWN, of Hartford;
DANIEL P. TYLEIl, of windham;
As1JAH cd afaIiSsf;6l; of Milford.
This is a strong and good Ticket, and can only
be defeated by oUer-confdence. MIR. BALDWIN,
wanted to decline, but the Convention insisted,
and he consented to stand. We have high hopes
that the right sort of effort is to be made on the
first Monday of April; ifso, there can be no ques-
tion about the result. There are $4,000 good and
true Wings in Connecticut; and all the votes they
poll over Is 000 will be SO much majority.
CITY HoTEL.-Our readers will have seen by an
advertisement in our celumns that Mr.. Jennings,
| the world-renowned host Of tho City Hotel in its
| palmy days, assisted as of yore by Mr.. WILLARD.
has resumed the conduct of this conmodous estab-
ishment, which has been elegantly reftted and re-
| furnished throug hout-better than ever before
We do not know that any thing more can be said.
The travelling world, as well as our own citizens,
know that, if Jennings and Willard cannot keep
tirst.rate Hotel, it is in vain for any else to
attempt it.
Powers THE ScrLproR.-The Philadelphia
North American mentions report, coming from
this city, that Hiram Powers, the American sculP-
tor, is dead having been stabbed by an Italian ar
list. If this report is true, then indeed has Art
lost one of its chiefest ornaments. The North Amer
lean justly speaks in high terms of his great prom
Use, which needed Blu, experience and opportunity
TO place him first in the list of living scuptors.
LEcruRE.AThe Invasion of Ireland by the En-
slish, the Conquest of England by the Nornans
and u sketch of the Life and reign of Brien Bo-
reuihe, are the highly interesting subject, of Mr.
MooNEYs lecture at the Concert Hall this evening
The reign referred to forms the bright particular"
epoch of Ireland's independent and palmy days
the living evidence that there has, at least been
timo when the unity of her sons was aeharacteris-
tic-a principle; and when her nationality was
something more than name. MIR. MOONEY is
quite equal to his subject Some excellent singing
is also announced. See advertisement.
