The I.inunr I.aw HluIked.n

The only rcdeeming act Of the whole As
days reign OF iusionism, the current rumor
now is, was 'burked," or silently stranglcd
in the ''hurry and confusion" of the closing
scenes Of the late session. a bill was SNUG
ged through in tho last night, it is said,
which secures TO all the cities and towns in
the state the continuation Of the liquor priv.
iloges granted in their charters. The credit
of the dodge is assigned to Col. Morrison of
Bcllevilc Nothing certainly, would have
been easier, under the gag rule Of proceed
ing adopted. No explanations were allowed
no questions--every thing and every body
went it blind. Such legislation never be-

SUICIDE or GEo. w. GRrEy.-Gco. W.
Green, a Chicago Banker, who was tried
several months ago in Chicago for killing
his wife, but to whom new trial had been
granted, was found last Sunday morning in
his cell in the county Jail dead, having hung
himself some time during the night 1t is
said he had frequently stated that he would
sooner hang, than go through the torture Of
a new trial. He was hard, brutal man,
and if not guilty of the particular act Of
poisoning his wife for which he was tried,
he deserved hanging for his treatment of her
before hand, which was such as had nearly
accomplished her killing by inches.

THE PANAMA RAILROAD, uniting the At
lantic and Pacific Oceans across the 18th
mus of Darien, was opened few weeks ago.
Its length is fifty miles, and the fare is 10
dollars through, or at the rate Of 30 cts. a
mile. The distance is accomplished in some
hours, The fare sounds high in civilized
countries, but when it is recolected that the
trip has hitherto cost $40, and required from
two to three days, the change to $40 is no
triilng improvement.

The Joliet Signal publishes the following
extract Of letter from citizen Of our State,
now in New York, simply rcmarhing that
the writer, in capacity and experience, is
emincntly qualified to speak unde'sandingly
of such matters, and whose love OF truth and
integrity Of character entities his statement
to the fullest credit;
II called upon Mcssrs Wa 'swor,h & Slcl.
don, this morning, and requested them to
show me the assignment made by thom.-
This they unhesitatingly did, and from q
careful examination thereof, CLEAN the fol-
lowing facts, for all d which | hereby vouch.
Ia the first place, the assignment sets forth
in detail, the assets of their iirn--which Il
mount to about two millions Of dollars
Then they prefer as follows:
LIST. 7. Wadsworth, amt 500
ID Sheldon and est. J. Sheldon $4,000
Sd. Chicago Il Galena K. r. Co, $50, 900
4th. The Michigan City Branch Bank,
$4,000.
9th. The State Of Illinois, viz. Dyer, ct
al. Bondsnon.
Now here it is shown that their assets are
about two millions OF dollars and their pre-
terr, creditors before the state only ninety
thousand dollars. From this statement, can
any one with propriety, say, that our State
is not secured against loss? II so, their
statements must be prompted by desire to
do injustice to our State and her officers, ra-
/ ther than desire to make known the truth.
am assured by ". 4 5, that an arrange
ment will speedily be made to meet the inter
est on our bonds, and that it only needs the
presence Of Gov. Matteson here to consumate
I the arrangements | am informed that he
intends coming to y. Y. Immediately after
the legislature adourns-and do not doubt
that by lst of March every arrangement will
have been made to meet the interest now
