al terms Mr.. Bennett Of Masitowoo, and Toplii
of Columbia, and Hull of Grant opposed the mo-
ton. The committee refused 10 strike out the en-

was made the specials order FOR Monday afte. noon
the goth. Ii having been decided that murder is
ba'tatte offence under the constitution, since the
adjustment ofsthe death penaliyI II Il cuntended
that until the constitution il amended in this re-
speet. the death penalty should be restored and
kept in existence. If there is time to act upon the
subject at alt,he coming week, fear the bill will
pass the Assembly.
The Legislature is strongly dispo led to put
qu,rtus upon The 'Documentary History" and 10
discharge the State Historian from further service
1t is found TO be considerably more expensive tn
useful. AS first stepn the right direction, the
Assembly by very decided vote, refused TO make
the annual appropriation for the .'vener abis" Ills
orian.
" hen the legislature VII. adjourn is YET ques>
tionabie matter. If no unnecessary or fac,ous
opposition should be made to the measures of leg
slation which the majority have determined to
accomplish, in accordance with wha. is believed 10
be the public interest and demand. there would be
no difficulty By closing up by Friday next. But
every possible effort will douhress be made by the
minority to lembarrass and hinder the progress of
business. This may result ina prolongaton of the
session until the 5:h or 9th of April.

One bud thing the Assembly did to-day,
in connection with a number Of good ones,
that was, to order engrossed for Sd read
ing, tho bill TO restore the death penalty.
l suppose it will pass tomorrow. You will
find the representatives, from your county
right on the record in regard to all of these
matters.
Mr.. hudson, OF your western district, is
on hand almoys. and has perhaps missed
lever votes, on questions presented, than
any other floor member of the Assembly.
And the best of it is, his name will be found
in every instance, just where it should be,
on the side of reirenchment and reform, and
in favor of all measures calculated TO pro-
tcct the interests of the people and to pro-
mote the cause OF temperance and republi-
canism. The same maybe said of DR.. Pad
dock, but | regret to state that the Doctor
has been confined to his room by sickness
for week past, an attack of erysipelas, l
believe. lie is better to-day, and will per-
haps be in his place tomorrow, if necessa
ry. -
| think, from present appearances, an
adjournment will take place next Monday
or Tuesday. ... ...1 ~. ..
