and some harsh words were banded TO and
fro. Upon the count of the ballot Atchison
had 62 votes, Doniphon 81, and Benton
81.
The 29h ballot produced the same result.
On the 30th ballot Mr.. McCarty of Jackson
county, voted for Atchson also-the count
Of that ballot producing the following result,
Mr.. Atchison GO, Mr.. Doniphan &c. and Mr..
Benton 81.
Six other ballots have been taken to day,
making in all 36 ballots, during which Mr..
Bohannon, Mr.. McCarty and Mr.. Moore re-
turned TO the wings and voted for Mr.. Don
iphan. On the 36th ballot The count stood
for Atchison SO, Doniphan 80, and Benton
81. Upon the return of the gentlemen TO
the wings, who had departed on yesterday,
there were some loud demonstrations, and
several speeches made to greet their return
in which Mr.. Todd of St. Louis, spoke Of
the happy effects Of music generally upon
both men and animals, and in that instance
Of the peculiar effects Of the thrilling strains
of the Guitar upon the gentlemen who had
left his party-said he believed that Or
pheus was the first inventor of musical in
strument-spoke of the wonderful effects of
music upon wild animals, and said that cele-
brated biologists had tanned the most fero-
cious beasts of the forest in olden times by the
use Of instruments not TO be compared to the
enchanting melody of the modern GUITAR
To which Mr.. Moore replied with attempt
ed wit and sarcasm.
Mr.. Guitar made another short address,
exciting some warmth in Mr.. McCarty who
replied, but all passed off in the restoration
of good feeling.

as much force, vigor, and animation as he

FROM JEFFERSON
JEFFERSON Cry, Jan. 90, 1865.

JEFFERSON CRY, Jan. 20, 1865.
Mn. GRBEN-Yesterday and to-day were
consumed in one continuous balloting for
officers of the other branch banks. At
Lexington, Mr.. Burden, the excellent Wing
president was reelected, at Springfield Mr..
Payne, Bentonite, the old president, was
reelected and at Cape Girardeau Mr.. Nose
ly. whig, was elected president, and the
joint session took recess till Monday NOR
ming.
From the signs of the times, there are not
places enough yet, for the Wings and Ben
ton men, and the antics who made the bank
and gave the election Of its officers to the
General Assembly, being now amongst the
outs, swear that this mode of electing the
officers of the bank, by the Representatives
of the people is an abominable affair, and
that it ought to be in the hands of the exc
cutive. These chaps ought to recollect that
the people have not forgotten the greediness
with which they sought the places and sub
places, created by the charter Of the bank,
and how swiftly the members ran home frcm
Jefferson 10 get the places they had made
for themselves-after the bank and branch
es were made. The time allotted for the
session is rapidly passing away, and although
nothing comparatively has been done, many
ofthe members, seem as we'll contented as if
they had the whole year 10 spend in this
triangular fruitless balloting. Mr.. Buford
whose supposed death had caused the pas
sage of mourning resolutions, it is said has
risen again, and will soon report himself in
the city. It's now eight o'clock P. NJ. and
sleeting rapidly. JUNIUS.

KIDNAPPING IN CANADA.--John H. Pope,
"Police Officer and Constable" of Frede-

Chief of Police of Montreal, proposing a
copartnership in the business OF kidnapping
runaway slaves, and taking them back to
their masters. The proposition was indig-

that it would not be easy 10 engage in this
new branch of business without stirring
up popular feeling that would be at

lot the reappeored for Mr.. Atchison 81 votes,
for Mr.. Doniphan Sc, and for Mr.. Benton
SO; and upon the 28th ballot and while call
ing the roll of Senators, Mr.. Kitchen treat
ed the Joint Session with most superta-
lively silly speech and took leave of the
wing camp, and voted for Mr.. Atchison,
which of course was joy 10 that party, and
they manifested it by loud clapping and
stamping. The roll of the House being
called to the name of Mr. Bohannon, Of Ray
county, offhe leaped. Calling down the al
phabetical list TO the name of Mr.. barnes Of

JEFFERSON ClTY, Jan. 20.
Mr.. GREEN: The Joint Session at last
finished the election of Bank officers on yes
terday evening by candelight. The job be-
came so irksome towards the conclusion that
you might see barely quorum in their pla-
ces--the balance, some at their rooms, 9TH
ers III the different offices in the capitol, and
goodly number walking to and fro in the
aisles and lobby of the House.
The experience of the last two weeks in
this city, ought 10 show most conclusively
the impolicy of placing the election of the
Bank officers in the hands Of the Legisla-
ture. The cost of the election cannot at
the present session have been less than six
thousand dollars 10 the State.
The Senate has been engaged most of
this day in the further discussion of plan
for the revision of the statute laws-and
nothing definite yet fixed upon.
The House spent the greater part of the
day in the contested election case from St.
Louis. At an hearty hour of the forenoon
the amendment Of Mr.. Breckenridge, pro-
posing 10 send for persons and papers, was
rejected, and that was settlement of Mr..
Palmer's pretensions. The original resolu-
ton declaring Mr.. Goodlet entitled TO the
seat, next came up, and was rejected by a
majority of one, which was in effect declar-
ing that Mr.. B. Gratz Brown, the sitting
member, was entitled 10 his seat. Mr..
Hughes afterwards introduced q resolution
providing "material aid" 10 Mr.. Goodlett in
the form of per diem pay and mileage, when
Mr.. Goode moved as substitute resolu-
ton TO the effect that the seat was vacant,
and referring the matter back TO the peo-
pie of 81. Louis, supporting the same with
some argument rejecting slightly upon Mr..
Brown; to which Mr.. Brown replied with
a deal of warmth, not having before spoken
or acted touching his contested election
In the remarks OF Mr.. Brown, lie placed
Mr.. Goode decidedly in the attitude of the
man who comes off second in an affair of
honor. The end was, that the Speaker de-
clded Mr.. Goodies proposition out of order.
The House then adopted Mr.. Hughes res
olution, and it is not likely that the l<notty
subject of the triangular contest for seat
in the House will again be renewed at this
session, il such thing should ever again
happen. JUNIUS.
