A bill appropriating s6OoUTo rhc11buo,-
of Refuge and authorizing The Treasurer
of Philadelphia county to pay over SIS
600 to the same, passed the House.
The bill which passed the House es>
ablishng department of Education has
not yet been acted upon by the Senate.
This bill has for its object the improve
ment of the Common School System, and
Gov. Johnston and the Wings are doing
all they can to defeat it. Let the friends
of Education remember this.
Now that | have given you correct
synopsis of all the important business
that has been done in either branch Of
the Legislature for sometime past, | can
not bat turn my attention to personal
matters.
Your ticke. for The Supreme bench with
Judge @ ibson as the head has been favor
able received here, and you have reason
to fee justly proud OF il, for if the " hole
State was looked over better list of
names could not be selected They are
The kind of men TO warrant success
During my visit here this winter !
have became acquainted with number
of The members of the Legislature, and
among them Col. CAssIDAY, of Philadel-l
Phia, whom | find 10 be every inch a
Democrat of the Jackson school, and the /
compliment so well bestowed upon him (
by the PIltsburg Chronicle was in truth
well deserved Mr.. BoNHAM, the new /
member from Cumberland county. is a :
young man Of decided :alen! and superior |!
ability, and he is democrat Of whom Old /
mother Cumberland has reasons 10 be !
proud of. Mr.. ROBERTS, of Fayctte, is q !
gentleman whtm | delight to hon5r, for he
IS the kind Of a man in whom the De-
mocracy can always depend, and is one
OF the most inde!atioabie working mem !
bers that holds 4 seat in the present
Legislature. JONATHAN d. LEEr, ESQ, |
OF Washington county, is so well and .
so favorably known throu ughout the !
State, that praise from my pen would be
almost supertluous, but better and .
braver Democrat never occupied q seat in |
the National Councils, and the very best
evidence Of the high estimation in which |
he is held is TO be found in his great pop
ularty at home. Mr.. Rhey, the able
chairman Of tse committee on Ways and
Means, has reported the Appropriated
Bill, and it is under consideration every
day in the House until its final passage.
|! contains an appropriation of $3.50 900
for the avoidance OF the Planes on the
Portage Rail Road, to be raised by loan,
but as matter of course This bill will be
subject to numerous amendments before
it becomes a law.
On Friday lith April the Mayor and
Councils of Baltimore are TO ''tdke tea
with the members of the Legislature, and
it is rumored that Secretary Webster will
be present. Friday is an unIucky, omi-
nous, dangerous day, and to substantate
the fact | can refer you TO any captain or
officer OF a steamboat on the wes:er wat
ers, all Of whom consider Ii an unlucky
day, for they never start out on Friday
on their first trip with a new boat; there
fore as this "tea party takes place on
Friday, no good Can arise from it, save
one, and that Is 10 me sufficient, viz: an
iHSicdSS vi tue hitiN ICCI4bSS cduy 4
existing between the people of the States
Of Pennsylvania and Maryland and ce-
ment the two States more firmly together
in the Gordian knot Of Union and Frater-
nifty.
In conclusion let me pay my deyoirs
to the ladies of Harrisburg. In their
charming society have always found a /
resting place which has had the tendency
to soothe and alleviate the heart of a
man bowed down with the ills and .rou-
bles of this unfee.ing world, and when
depart from this, now familiar Spot, the
recollection of their kindness, their ac-
comPlishments, their beauty, and their
good hearts will always hold its place in
my thoughts "unmixed with baser mat
ter" For the success of your dear self
both pecuniarily and politically, you
have the ardent wish of your humble
LITTLE CAMBRIA.
For The Sentinel.
