/ lhst 10 lne COn5luefatlOn OF SUBJECTS OF only I
4 local Importance. Judge Fudge, the veDer- I
able and industrious Senator from Green. !
who isatthe head ofthe unimportant commit !.
tee on Roads and Highways, has fairly mo-
nopolzed the business of the Senate with
two or three bills for the better regulation Of
roads and highways, and although his la I
bors are not very ambitious northe matter /
committed to his care of very p0mpous
character, yet Idoubt not thatin the prscti-
cal affairs Of life and in the every day busi- 4
ness ofthe people, the legislation securedby
that indefatigable public servant wllbe as
sensibly felt and be as permanently bene-
! fetal as much other, of more ambitious
character anda more sounding appellation.
! The House has spent the last two days in
! committee ofthe whole, on the bill to regu-
late the militia It is exceedingly unpopular
| in that branch and after aeYoting almost two
/ whole days toits consideration, the House
this morning referred it to a committee, IN
structing them to strike out all after the en-
tacting clause, and insert new bill. In its
loriginul shape, the bill was drawn up for the
purpose OF inducing the formation of uniior-
med light companies. To accomplish this
end, it provided for certain exemptiors to
4 those who should become members OF such
companies, exemptions from working on the
roads, from certain taxes, &c. Any attempt
to revive he old cornstalk militia of former
times, meets with no favor and it is hardly
probable that much will result from any ar
rangement that is at present likely to be
made. iHIr:
4 Some feeling is becoming manifest on the
Bill introduced by Mr.. Gushing, to prevent
= the future immigration of the free blacks
and mulattoes into this State. Its chances
for passing the Senate were thought to be
somewhat promising, but it cannot go
through the House. 1t is lion now, and
will be the subject Of handsome fight
You shall know the particulars thereof
when they transpire.
