MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.
ANN APoLIs, Jan. 10, 49,

The several committees of the two Houses
are busily occupied with investigations and mea-
sures, properly belonging to them, and their
action is awaited, before public business can
come to be considerated by the House. Much
however is being cut out, and the disposition
seems TO be, to bring the several matters before
the two bodies, at as early period as is prac-
tlcable. In the meantime the Legislature is
occupied with the reception of petitions, me-
MORALS, &C., &c.--and now and then private
or local bill, is acted upon. They therefore al
present have little to do, having been in session
but two hours of this day, and then adjourned
over to Monday.
The committee on claims reported on tho
Trcasurer's account this morning, which was
ordered to be printed.
A bill to repeal portion of the I'd section OF
the act of 1884, CHI: 1923, relative to the free
negroes of the State, was reported, and will
probably pass. The effect Of the bill will be to
prevent under any circumstances, the return
Of a free negro into the limits of Maryland who
shall have left it for thirty days.
The bill mentioned yesterday, for re-charter-
ing the Fell's Point Saving Institution, was re-
ported favorably upon, by the comrnittee on
corporations and will pass.
A bill was reported repeating several acts re-
lating TO the inspection of green hides in Balti-
more CITY, 1t lies over.
Mr.. Graves reported a bill to sell the Stock
held by the State, in the several Banks of this
State, in the Union Manufacturing Company
and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Co.,
the proceeds to be applied TO the payment OF
the arrears ofinterest on the State debt.
A bill was reported for the repeal of the Cd
sec. ofch: 263 of 1888, relating to the appoint
ment of trustees of the poor of Baltimore CO.
The Treasurer was directed to ascertain and
report why the Susquehanna and Tide Water
Canal Companies have failed to comply with
the provisions of the act of last session. oh: 263,
and the bonds executed in conformity there
with
An order was adopted directing the commit
tee on grievances and courts of Justice, to en-
quire into the expediency of foreclosing the
States mortgage on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal
A bill supplemental to the Charter of the
Cumberland Coal and Iron Mining Company
was passed.
In my letter of yesterday, in relation to the
bill changing the name of MIR. Littig, of Bal
tmore, ! should have stated it was changed
from Frederick SchaeAer Littig, to Frederick
