RICHMOND, DEcENBER Ia, 1874.
To the Editor of The GaSeHe:
The business Of the Session is still, the more i'm
portant subjects, in the embryo, in the Commit
tees. Little or nothing has, as yet, been said or
done in the House, in which your readers would
take special interest.
Among the varioss important subjects, upon
which the Legislature will pass, Is the separation
in our Judicial system, of the common Law and
Chancery Jurisdiction Of the Circuit and Appellate
Courts, with view 10 despatch ir Chaucery eau
SEES and afford the Chanceors time and more
favorable circumstances in the disposition OF them
"a general law for the incorporation ofbenevolent
and literary Institutions, which meets with much
as think, groundless opposiuon--a reform in the
Petit jury system, upon the plan Of las, wiuier.--
The House is. at present. engaged in the discns-
sion Of a Bill to prevent priorities in Deeds of
Trust and to regulate the fees of Trustees, which
meets, so far. with favor.
Tie Land Fund Bill, you perceive, passed the
House by majority of 23-,ho Wing majority in
the House being 70. This, think, indicates,
quite clearly, that the opposition TO its reception,
i. merely factiou'
can say nothing definite as to the Senatorial
Election. Aftogihe Holidays, we shall know more

MR.. KENNEDY's LETTER.

We have had on file for two or three weeks,
wit hout being able make room for il in our COD
uunns the excellent and instructive letter addressed
by the Hon. John z. Kennedy 10 the President OF
the Young Mems Henry Clay Association of the
City Of New York. Although we yet cramped
for by the leoglh Of the Governors Message,
we lay it before readers this week to the ex-
clusion Of much Of usual variety Of msceiiane-
matter. 1t is Psper bearing the impress OF
truth, and Of close observation Of the causes
which have combined to defeat the Wing Party at
the late election, and will stand in future time as
record Of the shame which attaches TO the yicto-
rious party for the frauds and fasshoods by whose
means their success accomplished

SOUTH CAROLINA AND MASSA-
CHUSETTS.

The Palmetto State has, by summary process
disposed Of a controversy between herself and Mas
sschusetts, growing Out of the and imprison
men, bv South Carolina Of certain free negroes,
cla;mipg TO be citizens Of Massachusetts. South
Carolina has law, and il may be a very proper
and necessary one, forbiddng the entrance within
her limits Of free negroes from other States. Un'
der this law a number Of negroes searnen on board
of Northern vessels, entering the ports OF south
Carolina. have been arrested and imprisoned -
Massachusetts admits her free negro population to
the privileges of citizenship, and claims that IN
that right the, become citizens OF the United states
Upop this view, it is commended that the law OF
South Carolina is unconstitutional, and Tor the puT-
nose of testing that question, the Governor OF Mas
sacbn.et,s. under the aulhort, Of her Legislature,
commissioned the Hon. Samuel ioar formerly
we believe prominent member OF Congress)to go
TO Charleston, and test the consttntionaty OF the
law in the Federal Courts. Mr.. Hoar, upon his
arrival at Charleston, notified the Governor OF
South Catolina Of his mission, who Immediately
laid the matter before the Legislature, then in SEES
sion. Tie result was an exciting fare up, and a
resolution to expel Mr.. Hoar from the State who,
not choosing to await the regular process OF exPul-
s,on, Immediately stopped for cooler regions
We are very well satisfied that Massachusetts
attempted an untenable position, and that whatev y
er privileges she chooses to confer on her negro
nonulstiep. abe cannot make them citizens OF the
United States 1t is position which, II correct
yonld do much to impair The security of slave pro-
perty, denying, as it does, to the Southern ola'es
that control over free negroes which is deemed es
sential to their repose; and while we think inst
chusetts has deserved the public reProhailon
by her officous and l-judged intermeddling in the
domestic policy of sister State, we lament that
South Carolina has, in her phrenzied excitement
violated the courtesy and comfy which we're due
10 sister sovereign State, and her authorised rep
resentatiye.

i,int resolution for the annexation Of Texas, in
pursuance of the terms OF the Tyler Treaty. Mr.
Benton has also introduced his bill for the same
purpose. The opinion seems to be gaining ground
that Texas will be annexed, Notwithstanding the
protest Of the New York Democrats, that in voting
for Polk and Dallas, they did not mean to include
Texas. Sundry memorials have been presented
for reform and amendment Of the Naturalization
laws, and the subject seems to be attracting much
attention.
