ger, quite an elderly gentleman, and either an
Englishman or Scotchman, asked for information.
He wanted to know what this Lobby could do and
how they could appropriate the money--whether
they could vote or speak on the question when
they got to Madison.
The quiet simplicity with which this was asked
was such that whether it was done honestly o.
ironically could not be told.
The Chair said they could do nothing but use
their influence, and turned him to Mr.. Nc
Ksson better able to give the desired infcrnla-
ton.
Mr.. McKisson said the Lobby could only talk
to the Members individually, when the Legislature
was not in session, and use their influence by now
and then giving them an Oyster Supper.
Mr.. Angler replied that he had not had very
high opinion Of the Legislature, and the informa-
ton he had received tended to lessen it. For his
part he should have nothing more to do with the
matter.
During the prolonged discussion, upon these
various matters, a Remonstrance was circulated
for signatures, which signed by many, but by
no means by all who were present.
Attention was called to the fact that there were
not as many names to the Remonstrance as there
ought to be, and, on motion, Committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of Alvin Strong and Harmon
Marsh of Somers, DIR. Adams and Luman Marsh
of Paris, Levant Stevens and Charles Morgan OF
Pleasant Praire, Daniel Williams and j. NJ Kel.
logg of Bristol, D. Burnham and B. Robbins OF
Salem, J. NJ. Holiday and j. Mcdonald of Brgh-
tor, and r. G. Mcclellan and A. b. Coon of Wheat
land to circulate the Remonstrance, and to solicit
funds to sustain the Lobby.
On the motion to have the Proceedings publish
ed in the Kcnosha papers, Mr.. Marsh asked Mr.
Dcnsmore, lauGhingly, if he should recproeate the
courtesy of The Meeting.
Mr.. Densmore replied that he came for the very
purpose of reporting the proceedings, and that he
would most cheerfully publish whatever the Meet
ing desired and that, so far as he was concerned
hesld not object to the courtesey displayed as il
was an exciting question, the Meeting was excit
ed, but when it was over, they would all feel diff.
fcrently.
The Meeting then adjourned.-D.

Pennsylvania Sustaining Erie.

1t viii be seen by our Telcgraphic despatch
from Cleveland that the Legislature of Penn
sylyania have deliberately given their ait
and countenance" to the Erie Mobocrats, and
that their thick-head Governor, BIGLER, is or
his way to the "seat of war, to take posses
sion of the Rail Road track and protect the
trade of Erie in peanuts pies and cakes. o.
course, all Erie rejoices in this strange turn
of affairs, and to make up for lost trade and
time, is preparing to exact double toll from
all who cross the isthmus.
Philadelphia, it appears, hopes by this
course to compel Western trade and travel
to that point.
We shall see how much of either she will
secure by this novel process.-Na. Seat.

The Ryan Judgment.

An appropriation Of $4,000 and interest, has been
made to T. g. Ryan, for services last winter in the
Impeachment Trial. The authority Of the verdict
of the Supreme Court is no doubt what has indu-
ced the appropriation, as without such verdict no
such amount would have been appropriated
To us it seems the legislature took q mistaken
view of the matter, for we do not think that this
verdict, far as amount is concerned was entitled
to control the action Of that body. BY reference
to the law authorising suits against the state it
will be that verdict can have effect except
through subsequent action of the Legislature. Why
was this discretion reserved? Certainly it means
nothing if the legislature is bound to confirm the
judgment of the court, whatever it may be. As
we understand this law, it is hot TO ascertain the
amounts due, but whether there is legal demand:
The legislature is just capable of estimating the
value of the labor performed is the court. az
a jury of half dozen men at Madison The as
sistance of the court is asked to unravel the legal
intricacics of the case. That done, he gislature
is perfectly competent TO fix the amount Of COM
pensation, and we supposed it TO be for that rea-
son that dis .rction was re,o'yei.
The fact is, as we see it, that under the law, the
court had no business to entertain this claim The
legislature did not denya claim on the part Of Ry-
an, nor did it refuse to pay him. His demand
was put in at a late hour the two houses disagreed
and pending the disagreement, the hour of adjourn
merrt arrived. There was no refusal, no denial,
but simply failure to agree for want of time, oc-
casomcd as much by the negligence of the claim
ant as any thing else,
One hail the amount awarded would have been
not only liberal hut absolutely extravagant pay,
for the services rendered the court awarded $1,000
more than asked; and the legislature, it strikes
us, owed it the people TO permit no such claim 10
pass against the treasury; and owed il TO them
selves to allow such verdict 10 influence them.
