ALABAMA LEGIsLATURE.-Th latest accounts
from Montgomery are Of the 18th. The following
is from the correspondence Of the Mobile Register
Of that date
3" Both branches Of the Legislature ATE now fully
prepared for business, and manifest disposition to
dispatch it rapidly. There is a general feeling
among the members TO get through early But
apprehend, when important bills come up Tor dis
cussion, more delay viii occur than,is now antie-
pated. There are many members, who mani
fest strong desire to be heard.on any and all sub
jects. Bills have already been Introduced TO abol-
ish the chancery system, and 10 make radical
changes IN theapractce Of our courts. Some im-
portant changes will be made--yyhat they viii be,
is not yet known. | am also Of the opinion that
committee will be appointed, to codily our laws
some movements have already been made tL3t
subject A resolution has been introduced to
change the Constitution, so to give Justices of
the Peace jurisdiction in Of assault and bat
terry. Aquestlon~has arisen, and snow before the
judiciary Committee, to the effect Of the amend
ments Of the Constitution voted on by he people
at the last election, in reference 70 the expiration Of
the terms Of office Of the Judges who hold their
offices at the time said amendments are ratified
The decision 1t is believed, will be that the Judges
now IN office viii 90 out on-the election Of their
successors in November next. The baggiBg aud
rope bill OF the last session has been repealed by
the-HOuse Of Representatives and will doubtless
in day two pass the Senate. Tie bill tore
peal that NIneasure met with no oppositiOn--the,
planters dissatifed with it, Last session the
planters introduced the bill, against the most de-
termned opposition Of the Mobile delegation. Ex-
perience is the best test OF the utility Of laws.
. Both houses had.fxed on Monday next to elect
Judge of the Supreme Court, in the place Of f.
| W. Collier, resigned. Judge Goldthwaite had
| been absent until to-day on his circuit, and his
friends on his return desiring that he should have
opportunity to become a candidate Tor that office,
| if lie desired, requested postponement Of the
day for that election, which was done That cleo
ton will probably take place next week, and am
Of the opinion that Judge Galdthwaite will not be
candidate. 1t is understood that most of the
members from North Alabama will vote for Judge
| Parsons, the present occupant Of the Office BY
| Executive appointment.
The Senatorial election is becoming quite in
teresting. There is not as, much unity among the
| democratic candidates as, could be desired. Col,
King has far the most members OF his party in his
| tavor-but there are many candidates, 1t is be-
lieved none have sufficient yet to ensure anelecton
| The coming week will deyelope some things touch
ing that election more interesting than any Thing
that has yet TRANSFERRED. The spirit of internal i'm
| provement is rife, and there will be more charters
| granted for plank roads during this Legislature
and also railroads, by far, than will ever be con
strueted. A majority of the Legislature is in favm
| Of banks, and from present Indications, we shall
have an addition to our circulation in the form o.
bank bills
