MADISON CORRESPONDENCE.



Mr. Sioles: No definite time up TO this
date has been fixed upon for adjournment :
the Council, it will be recollected, some
time ago passed joint resolution to adjourn
on the Goth of February. This resolution
was called up in the House yesterday, and
several amendments were offered with the
view of fixing the time at longer period
than the Goth; after considerable discussion
the whole subject was finally laid on the ia
BILE. To- day the House of Representatives
had under discussion the bill which had
passed the Council, providing for the cleo
ton of a Territorial Printer; much Of the dav
was consumed in the debate. A motion
finally prevailed TO s:rike out all after the
enaciing clause in the bill.

tho committee on roads, introduced bill!
in the Council yesterday TO incorporate a
Company, 10 construct Turnpike or Plank
road from Southport on Lake Michigan, 10
Belot OH Rock River. Mr.. Baker accom-
panied the bill with an able report, in which
the relative merits of turnpike, plank and
railroads are deliberately discussed. The
report is ordered 10 be printed. The com
mttee on interpretations, TO whom was re-
ferred apetition of tho inhabitants of Racine,
for an act Incorporating company, to con-
struct railroad from Racine TO the nj ssis-
sippi river, have reported favorabIy. A Pc
tition with seven hundred names attached.
inhabitants Of Milwaukee, was presented in
the House few days since for railroad
from Milwaukee to the Mississippi river.-
Thus the Territory is pretty well supplied
with magnificent road projects, but when the
roads will be built is another thing.

newspapers have<wihin the past two days

dence it had been intimated that the mem.
bers from the County Of Grant, had improp-
erly sought to influence member from the

in any manner TO influence the vote of the
Hon. gentleman Mr.. Hoard. Mr.. Hoard al
SD stated III MS pace, mat IL was not true
that the aforesaid members from Grant. bad
