an of the l1th says:
"We no longer feel bound TO conceal
the convictions which fastened upon our
minds at the first announcement of the
Somers mutiny, in our columns. We
are now fully assured that no evidence
exists or can be procured, upon which
the conduct of Captain Mackenzie will
be deemed censurable by any civil or
military tribunal in our land. There is
already abundant testimony before us,
not only of the most unexceptionable but
of the very highest character, TO justify
the commander of the Somers in every
act connected with the mutiny in ques-
ton, for which he is officially respon-
siblc."

filure of The mail on Wednesday, we are
unable 10 furnish orr readers with any
very late intelligence ofthe proceedings OF
this body. A discussion arose in the
House, on the 24th ult., on the question
of receiving or rejecting the land and mo-
ney granted to this State by Congress,
during the extra session. The sxbject
was finally passed over, without any de-
finite action being had on it. The reso-
lutions proposing TO limit the tenure of
the offices of the Judges of the Supreme
and Circuit Courts, and to provide for
their election by the people, were taken
up, and after some discussion were so
amended as to leave the appointing pow
er with the Governor and Senate; The
tenure of the first named being limited to
ten years, and the last to six.
A bill to suppress the circulation of
city and county scrip, as currency, in
troduced by Mr.. Garrison, came up, and
after some discussion which resulted in
slight amendment, passed unanimously.

will receive the sanction oflhe Senate.
