we Sevcr raj other important changes are
contemplated in the bill which have not
time now TO particularize. 1t is generally
believed the bill will become a law.
abb has also been brought in regulating
tho costs and fees of justices and constables

of these officers 10 the amounts allowed 10
these office,s by the Revised Statutes OF

eng tl,J the bill passes, the Legislature
Assem- ,s hnye fer meet on the first Monday in
g W. in each year, which wal be an i'm
,'roycment. inasmuch as it has become so
common for Legislative bodies TO devote the
HOLIDAYS TO recreation, that little is accom-
nl;shed during this period of the year. The
Bill TO elect a Territorial Printer by joint
.ballot of the Legislature, has passed both
Houses: but it is rumored that his Excel
lencv w il reto the bill. A bill has also been
introduced into the Council authorIz ng the
President and Trustees of the Village o.
Southport TO levy a tax of $4,000 on the

The subject of State Government has
not vet been discussed in either branch of
she Legislature: what disposition will make
~ofthis importan: question, it is impossible
10 say. A portion of the Legislature are
favor Of submitting the question to the
people, and allowing them TO decide by
vote, whether they will take the preimi-
nary steps to form n State Government.
Another portion are decidedly opposed, to
allowing the people 10 give an expression
on this question at the ballot box-they
seem to fear the people will be foolish
enough to decide that they are capable OF
sell government. hCiC o'C WIZ

hence with that fatherly care becoming
good patriarchs, they modestly say to the
people; .'Sirs, you are not competent to
determine the period, when you will throw
off your Territorial minority; therefore 1t
is not meet that you should be allowed 10
vote on the question of Stae Government
this year."
To morrow, the Council Lave dc err

Hon. Moses NJ Srong's Boundrry rep TT,
and Il e accompanying Address To the Con-
gress the Unel Stat $. This is SUI
lee, Of con ,iderable interest, but how 1t
will be disposed of,by tie Legislature, re-
mains TO be seen.
A bill is before the Legislature, which
contempaies several important altera-
tons in our present common schooi
laws but owing 10 the many conflict
ing views and opinions, in relation 10 our
common school System, il is 10 be feared
tina, not much will be accomplished tor
that most impor ant Of al! interests OF our
Territory education.
