as ] was not present, / cannot give
many items of the discussion. There
has net been any vote taken on the ques-
tion yet, it comes up again this afternoon
and I presume the afternoon will be
spent in speechilying. Seven sections of
the bill have been read, and at the same
rate of progress it win be finished a.
bout the LIST of April.
The Bill which passed the Senate is
unobjectionable, with the exception Of
the clause submitting it to a vote of the
people at the next general election
That clause will be stricken out by the
Assembly, but hardly think the Sem
ate will coucur in the amendment, if
made by the Assembly. The Maine
law men in the House think the re-
sponsibi lily will be thrown upon the
Senate if they don't receds from their
ground, but as to that think il does not
matter much with majority of the Sem
ate, and ] do not think any bill will re-
ceive the concurrence of the Senate
which does not contain the submission
clause; therefore, if the House insists
upon striking out the clause and the
Senate refuses to concur, there will, UNI
doubtedly be no prohibitory law enac-
ted at this session.
There has not been much else Of in-
terest up, excepting the Prohibitory bill
for the past week. The Senate has been
in session, but the morning business in
both Houses has been worthy of local
character. The Rock River canal COM
pany has sent to the Legislature petit
ton asking the Legislature to provide
for final settlement with said compa-
ny. The claim is one of an old stand
ing, and / presume will be of large
amount, at least, the claim as it may, it
ought to be settled, and not RUN any Ion
ger. The same subject was up the
last session Of Legislature, but no pro-
visions for settlement were made.
1t is thought that if Congress grants
lands to the State in aid Of Railroads,
there will be quite a warm time if the
subject is brought b fore this Legisla-
ture for division. There is a number
of companies which do not and never
can amount to anything, that will try to
wiring in for their shares of the grant,
1t ought to be the policy of the State,
should Congress make the grant to ap-
propriate the lands to those Roads which
will actually be built, and be of some u
tility to the State and its Inhabitants
| hope and trust such course will be
pursued.
The richest entertainment of the sea-
son come off last evening in the Assem-
bly, Chamber. It was the Lecture of E..
&. RYAN, on "Mrs. Jeleby,' or ''the
Strong Minded Woman" A!thoug h
the weather was very unpleasant, the
room was crowded by persons of both
sexes. 1t was beautiful production
cannot give any dea of il. 1t would
be impossible for any person to appre-
ciate the lecture, without being an audi
tor.
Mud is the order Of the day here, ard
good sidewalks are above par.
