From our jefferson City Correspondent
JrFrrRsoN CITy, Jan. I, ls45.

JEFFERSON Cry, Jan. !, ls45.
Messrs BENSON 81 GREEN:-This day
was the first on which there was quorum
of the members of the House of Represen-
tatives present at a call of the roll since last
l wrote you. On yesterday there was a
quorum of the Senators present; nothing
however of interest has occurred in either
branch of the General Assembly since
Christmas.
In the House to-day, Mr.. Hough asked
leave to introduce bill to repeal the char
ter of the Bank of the State of Missouri.
1t was, however, declared by the chair TO
be out of order; the House on the 2lst ult.
having adopted resolution by which that
body declared it would not act upon any
important measure before the 9th day of
the present month. Mr.. Hough thereupon
withdrew his request and gave notice that
he would introduce his bill at future day
This subject has been talked of in the city
for weeks, and do not be surprised if the
democratic legislature nowin session repea
the charter of the bank. 1t would be ir
perfect harmony with the principles ant
former practices of the party. To repudi
ate debts and repeal charters are amongs
the more prominent tenets Of the politica
creed of modern democracy.
An amusing incident came off to-day il
the House upon the final passage of the
bill concerning the attorney general, circui
and counties. 1t seems that when tina
bill was introduced into the Senate DIR
Fort moved to add by way of amendment
an additional section as follows: 9Th,
county court of Randolph county shall no
be permitted to appoint county attorne.
: as provided in the goth section Of this act.
S And ridiculous as this amendment is, tn
Y bill absolutely passed the Senate with tn
= amendment and went to the House for it
S concurrence: Whcreupon, Gen. Wilson o
n Randolph, rose and moved to reject tn
e amendment. He asked why the count
e court of Randolph should be consdere
: unfit to exercise discretion con6ded to CIV
5 cry county court in the State? Is it inten
y ded, said he, to convey the idea TO the PEG
f pie of this State, that the county court il
a Randolph is an unsafe tribunal TO trus
= with such power? He would say tina
: the court in that county was composed O
d highly respectable and intelligent gentle
+ men, who would exercise all the power
a conferred on them by law for the publ
: good, and he protested against this mar
e being put upon the county court of hi
y county. After Gen. Wilson concluded hi
J. remarks the House sustained his motto
S with but one dissenting vote-and thus fe

You may set it down as "ixed facf'

suited, and the mission to England or
France will be rendered to him. He will

to private life.

APPORTIONMENT.

BY the constitution of this State, it be-
comes the duty Of the Legislature to ap-
portion the representation Of both houses
every four years. AT present, each county
is entitled to one representative in the low
CT house, and equality in that branch is
impossible; but the Senatorial districts can
be fairly arranged, and as members of the
convention are TO be elected this year, we
hope exact justice may be done. The re-
cent census shows population of 510,455
in the State. This number. divided by
thirty-three, the constitutional number of
Senators, fixes the ratio at 5,43S, for a
single dstrict-3O,S76, for double one
and 46,3l4 for treble one. The popula-
ton of Howard county is only l3,257, and
that number being insufficient for one mem
Der, it becomes indispensable to organize a
double district, with population of 3d.
SIG. Fortunately, the legislature will have
but little trouble, the district being already
formed, both numerically and geographic
cally, and in two aspects. Few districts
in the State can be nearer the exact mum.
Der than the following:

Randolph, S,63l Audrain, 1857

2l55

This apportionmcnt will give the demo-
cratic party a double district, with politi-
cal majority of $50 votes, but it will be the
fairest which can be had, and we will not
object to such an arrangement.

PWe find nothing of interest from
Washington. AT the latest dates members
were looking forward with more anxiety
TO the approaching holidays, than the
annexation of Texas or the repeal of the
Tariff. 1t is generally conceded, we be.
lieve, that neither of these democratic
measures will be consummated at this ses'
sion-nor, in fact, anything else for the
public good excepting the probability of q
reduction of the rates of postage.

OFThe following resolutions are now
before the Legislature-having been offer
ed by Mr.. Gamble, of ST. Louis, as embo-
dying the sentiments of those who voted
against the amendments to the constitution,
proposing limitation Of the Judicial Ten
ure. We put them on record, and may
take occasion to refer TO them at some fu-
ture day
Resolved. That in the judgment Of this House,
the distribution Of the powers OF Government
into three departments, independent Of each
other, is a feature OF our constitution upon which
the permanency OF our institutions in great
measure depends; and that any proposition so to
change the fundamental law Of the State as 10
subject either department or the magistracy Of
either department, to the periodical control of the
officers OF another department, would destroy the
checks upon each OF the departments necessary
TO the regular and safe operation Of our govern.
ment.
Resolred, That the amendments proposed by
the last General Assembly TO the Constitution Of
the State, by which the Judges Of the several
Courts were 10 hold their Offices for term Of
years, would have subjected the Judiciary to the
Executive department, and thus materially i'm
pair the independence Of the Judiciary.
Resolved, That the proposition to reduce the
offices OF the Judges to tenure for period Of
years, should have referred their appointment to
the people, so that the Judges would have recei.
we'd their offices directly from the people, and
would thus have been rendered independent OF
the Executive.

Mr.. Snaud, and thus she did it. "Mr. S."
said she, "you say you're temperance man,
yet you chews terbarker." "Hem--a-yes

pint of vinegar between his teeth, "but

with stays, nor stick my back up with bags
of NEAL doesn't"

The latter district would be most CON-

will add the Presidential vote, in Novem-

Painful accident.-The shop of Mr..
MILLS, at Wheeling, having been repeatedly
robbed by burglars lately, he few days
since prepared pistol so that when the door
was opened it would go off. Unfortunately
he forgot the contrivance, and was him
self the first to enter the, store, when the
contents entered his chest, from the effects
of which he has since died.

1--WE not unfrequcntly hear persons
wondering why they did not receive an
invitation to certain party, ball, or wed
ding. Now, when we fail in receiving an
invitation to any place where we had an
ipated to be invited, we never come TO
any other conclusion than this: "That they
did not want US there--that our room was
considered far preferable to our company.
Depend upon it, whenever your company
is wanted at any particular place, you will
most assuredly be honored with polite
and respectful invitation to be present.
The United States and Merico The
Madisonian, in an article relative TO Mexico
and her failure to pay the last indemnity
due to citizens of the United States, says:
Let Congress authorize the Executive to
cause the ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico
to be rigidly blockaded by our vessels OF
war, and we venture the prediction that
in sixty days every dollar of the balance
of the indemnify money will be paid, as
well as the obnoxious orders affecting the
business of American citizens be annuIled.
In what way can the home squadron be
more servceably employed! Will the
representatives of the nation permit the
rights of the citizens to be trampIed upon,
be plundered of their property, and the
national honor and dignity to be insulted
by an insolent despot, and fold their arms
and take no measures to obtain redress?
We hope not.
