died this morning, at the Badger House, in this
city. Mr.. Kendall was here in the interest of the
proposed Fox River Rail Road, and wvs seized
with inflammation of the lungs, which terminated
fatally. Mr. Kendall was a most excellent man
in every respect. He made friends here of all
with whom he came in contact, who lament his
loss--while to his relatives, and more immediate
friends and neighbors, know his death is an ir-
reparable loss
Yesterday, the House and Senate both passed a
resolution to receive no more business after Mon
day next. This resolution, will, think, be ad-
hcred to, SO that we shall be able to conclude the
regular business within eight ten days from that
time. What arrangements will be made with ref
erenee to the Hubbel trial, know not nor how
long it will take but the regular business of leg
slation, need not, and, 1 think, will not detain us
over two weeks

forget whether / mentioned in any of my pre-
vious letters the fact of the introduction OF gen
craI rail road bill into the House. Such bill has
been introduced but it don't seem to lessen at all
the desire for special charters, some two or
three new ones are introduced every day, and the
committee have now on hand pile some six in
chcs in height. This morning one was ntrodue-
ed to charter company from Elkhon to Bcloit,
designed no doubt to supply the deficiency occa-
stoned by the death of the amendment to the Ra-
cine and GAINESVILLE road What the House will
do with this after the emphatic vote on the other
proposition, remains to be seen.
Iperceive Mr.. Sharpstcin has introduced into the
Senate, the bill recommended by the Supervisors
of the county, in reference the debts of the late
town of Southport Also, bill authorizing the
city of Kenosha to loan her credit in mid of the
Kenosha and Belot Road, both of which, no
doubt will become laws.
l notice the Racine Democrat attributes our eff
forts against the amendment to jealousy sc. Ger

without referring it to that cause. There is DO

MADISON, March IL, 1858.
| Among a multitude of other bills passed by the
House. was one yesterday to prevent the killing
of game at certain seasons of the year. This is
to prevent prairie hens, quas, &C., from being
killed out of season and the law certainly is strn
gent enough to satisfy the most fastidious hunters
If citizen should incautously become possessed
of any article of game during the interdicted sea-

be smartly fined; and if any person pursues any
