This bill wss again defeated ayfew days since,
tonS 6s members voting for it. the Constitution re-
qniring 76, or majority Of all the membets Of the
House to pass it through thst body. This defeat
is attributable, we presume, to the amount asked

onoiher questions Of public Importance, which had
its effect upon members having no particular in
terest in the mattel else having rival interests.
WeIegret 10 this bill defeated, though it might
have been much improved by amendment before
its passage. Its failure will have a very serious
effect upon Western Improvements seeking CON
