MADISON. Feb. l6, 1852.

RIEND ELEMENT -
There is but little business Of general interest
before the Legislature, therefore, will speak on
ly cfsuch matters as affec: your own locality.
A petition has been presented in the House of
Assembly praying tina, the City Charter Of Ke-
nosha may be repealed and Town Government
substituted in its stead--the act Of repeal to be
submitted to the people of the city for vote
A remons.rance on the same subect has been
presented, and the whole referred to the Commit
tee on Town and County organization. The
number of remonstrants exceed those Of petition
ers, SO that probably no action will be taken BY
the Legislature.
The bill introduced into the Assembly propo-
sing such amendments to your city charter as
will enable the board Of Aldermen to borrow mo-
ney annually for improvement purposes, lays on
the table in the Senate, where probably it will
lay during the session.
A bill has been introduced in the Assembly
in accordance with the prayer of petitioners in
kenosha County, on the subject OF permitting
diseased sheep TO run at large, which if passed
as trust It may be, will probably put an end to
the evil.
! A petition from citizens Of the town of Bristol
on the subject OF taxing School Lands has been
presented, and referred to the committee on
School and University Lands.
There has been bill introduced into the Sem
ate for a Rail Road, from Waukesha down the
valley of the Fox River, to some point on the
State line, where it is expected another compa-
ny will take it up and complete it TO point of
intersection with the Gaena and Chicago Road
| need not enlarge on this proposition with ref
erence TO your interests--nor will indulge in
speculations as to its fate. doubt, however,
whether the Legislature will be willing TO so d.
vide the interests Of that section as to defeat any
and all railroad projects, now designed for that
section Of country. perceive that subscrp-
tons are being freely made to the stock of the
Lake Shore Road, and | hope that Road may
have fair chance before the interest is SO dv-
dad as to weaken and defeat ALL
A bill to encourage Agriculture, Horticulture,
&c, was passed in the House on Tuesday last,
/ Dy Il CIOse NOlc MS OIlI pIONiu lOI al dlHu-
al donation of $4,000 for five years from the
State Treasury to the State Agricultural Society
to be distributed through that Society to the Co.
Societies, for the promotion of Agriculture &c.
The bill now lays on the table on a motion to re-
consider, to come up on Monday next, and its
fate is doubtful
etitiOns pro and CON with reference 10 the
Maine Liquor Law come pouring in. A bill in
accordance with the affirmative prayer OF petit
TONERS, has been prepared and will come before
the House either through the committee on tha
subject or otherwise. 1t may pass. There is
project on foot TO pass it with provision sub
hitting it to the people, which meets with some
favor, and may be adopted.
| The Bank committee reported on Friday last,
and their bill is now in the hands of the Printer.
| will send you q copy when get one.
While ! write, members are quarrelng over
RichIand County Sen, one among the many
which have occupied and arc occupying the at
tenton of members.
The bills for paying the expenses of McCnf-
{ frey's execution, are received with very wry
face by the Legislature. If | may judge from
the expressions on these matters, Capital Pun
ishment is below par in this body. | hope so.
Yours, G. l.. S.
