THE LEGISLATURE.

We give in our Weekly to-day the proceedings of
the Legislature from Monday the Goth to Monday the
9th, and in our Semi-Weekly the proceedings from
Thursday the 23d. to the same day, inclusive.
We announced in our last the success of the Equal
Suffraue BILL In the Senate, on Saturday, as will be
seen by the proceedings, the bill providing for the
calling of Convention of the people of the State
was rejected by vote of Sc to l3. This bill had
passed the Commons. Mr.. Bynum advocated it, and
was replied to by Mr.. Shepard in very able Speech,
which hope to have the pleasure of laying be fore
our readers. Maj Caldwell followed in a strong
Speech, in opposition TO Convention and in favor
of the present basis of representation. In the
ming, Col Bower gave his for voting against
Convention. They were sound, and such as were
in every respect worthy of that longried and sterl
ing Democrat. He was succeeded by Mr.. Thomas,
who also gave his for voting against the call
of Convention and for standing up for the present
bssis of representation. We have space at pres
ent devote the remarks of these Senators, but
hope at some future day to present what they said in
full. Mr.. Thomas is entitled 10 the public thanks for
his frank and manly bearing the occasion, and for
the fearlessness with which he discharged his duty
to his constituents and to the State at large.
The bill Incorporating the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad Company, received the sanction of the Sem
ate on Monday evening last, by the casting vote of
the Speaker. This bill, as it was amended in the
Commons, provided that the old stockholders should
subscribe and pay down 100000 that they should
then be released from their bonds, and should be-
come joint owners with the State of the Road. The
Senate refused to with the House, and COM
mittee of conference was appointed. This commit
tee recommended that the stockholders should pay
down the 100000 aforesaid, and should then be
credited on their bonds with 1868 OOO and be charg
ed with interest on $l37 900 from 1916 to the pres
ent time-making, in all, some $685. 900; and that
paying this $l37,000, with interest, they should
be released from their bonds. The House of Com
mons refused recede from their amendment TO the
original bill, rejected the recommendation of the
committee of conference, and the matter went back
to the Senate; whereupon that body by vote of %
D and the casting vote of the Speaker concurred
with the House, and the bill was passed.
On Monday evening in the Senate, the Revenue
bill from the Commons taken up, and ordered to
be printed, and made the special order for Tuesday
ID o'clock. This bill was reported from the Finance
Committee, by Mr.. Person of Moore, who has labored
in this department of the public business the present
session, with signal ability and praise-worhy zeal.
The bill will no doubt become law.
We refer to regular proceedings for matters of
interest, in detail.

ADJOURNMENT.

be seen byreference to our proceedings, rescinded
the joint Resolution agreeing 10 adjourn the 24th
instant ard agreed adjourn on this day (W ednes-
day) at eight o'clock, A. NJ.
In the ' noise and confusion " incident the hours
Immediately preceding the adjournment. it has not
been possible for keep up with all the proceed
ngs, to note with much accuracy the movements
and sayings either side; but next paper will
contain the proceedings of the last day two, to-
gether with the captions of the laws We expect to
take up at some future day, the leading points and
events of the session, and submit such remarks in
relation to them may consider just and proper
in themselves, and due to the people of the State.
The last days of the session always attended
with more or less of hustle and excitement The
members naturally restless. after their Protraced
abors and anxious leave for their homes and un-
der such circumstances, it is not to be expected that
any measure can meet with much attention or engage
much deliberation. The result is, that many bills
read right through into laws-many are laid upon the
table-some postponed indefinitely, and many never
reached all. Still, but little is really negligenY
or carelessly done, for all the bills and resolutions
adopted, have been matured in Committee, and these
are at once known when their titles announced
| We have endeavored, during the late session, tc
furnish readers with as full reports could
possibly crowd into sheet, and we have sought
without reference TO party feeling party bias, tc
make those reports accurate and impartial as pos
sibe. How far we have succeeded in this, our in
dulgent readers must decide.

Steamboat REPRESENTATIVES. Of a Steamer Harrant

Steamboat Erploaion-Loss Of Sieamer-Warrant
ISSUED for the Arrest Of Gen. Quitmdn.
/ New ORLEANS, January 90. The steamer Brilliant
collapsed one of her fues the Brazos few days

crew were killed.
l learn that the fine Palmetto has been
totally lost in Matagorda Bay. Fortunately the pas
sengers and crew were all saved.
1t is ascerained to be positive fact that Judge
Johnson has issued warrant for the arrest of Gov
ernor Quitman charged with participating the Cuba
invasion. The warrant will be executed as
the United States marshall, Mr. Fielding Davis

that an application will be made TO the Judge of the

granted. The affair has product considerable spec

BENTON AND DOUGLAS. The New Orleans Plea
yune one of the ablest champions in the South, in
article contrasting the recent speech of Mr.. Ben

cago, says:
g We take notice Of these speeches TO mark the
difference between two northwestern Senators in
Congress, aged Senator from slavehol-
ding State whose unreguIaed temper and bitter pas
sions have transformed him from the dignifed Mes
tor, which he might have been, whose counseIs a
listening Senate might invoke for the instruction and
paciication of distracted people, into noisy bawl-
er, waging undgniied quarres in language of the
coarsest invective, and suspected on all sides not to
be faithful either TO his party his section the 9TH
er young and generous of the North, whose
heart is thoroughly warm with genuine and con-
prehensive patriotism who has commenced. what
promises to be brilliant career, by fearessly main
tanning broad national doctrines, which, while they
protect the South in its just right, strengthens for
perpetuty the foundation of the Union.'

"INvAsIoN'' THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. The la
test advices from Honolulu state that considerable
excitement existed there in consequence of informa-
ton having come to hand, from sources of undoubted
credit, to the effect that the Sandwich Islands
about be threatened with the invasion of can armed
force of ruffans from the shores of California -
Meetings had been held at Honolulu to adopt meas
ures of defence, and committee of safety ap-
pointed to take such the e1igoncy might
demand. We have seen intimations of move
ment ofthis kind elsewhere than in the Poynesian
of Nov. 9th. The character and number of the sup
posed invaders-if an invasion there is to be-is
probably exaggerated. Or the report that the Sand
wch Islands is to be overrun may only be employed
as decoy for descent upon the Mexican province
of Lower California; the conquest of which, have
