The Senate are playing a curious game in rela-
ton to the Constitutional amendments which were
solenlnly sent themb By the Assembly. wrote you in
my last that though the Argus professed to chuck!e
hugely over their passage in the lower House, yet
that passage was effected BY the Radicals, despite
the votes and speeches of the ''OId Hunkers" pro-
! per. The extraordinary movements in the Senate
show the true ground occupied by the cold Re-

The grab game as the process o! Legislation up
on motion days-Tuesdavs and Fridays-is very ap-
propriatey termed, so blocks up the regular busi-
ness oflegs!ation that tits extremely uncertain when
this important measure will again come up. fierce
and growing opposition is anticipated, and fear
much that in the whirl and confusion, incident upon
suchlegslatiOna as may be expected nl the close OF
the Session. this subject, vitality affecting the Gear
est interest of so many thousands, will be entirely
submerged. That other great question OF moral pu-
ritv and outraged humanity, the bill TO punish LII
centousness, will receive the go-by entirely. Every
proposition to bring the law reported or any other,
