And when my heart with woe is pressed
May nevermore weep on thy breast

preached him, and told him not to alter

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE.

1UEs DAY, April l.
SENArE.-BiUs Engrossed-Bills for the
protection of the Fisheries on the South Shore
and Bays on the south side of the town of
Barnstable and district of Marshpee; in re.
lahon to Burying Ground in the town of
West Roxbury; to Incorporate the Ladies'
Charitable Association at Haverhill.
Ten Hour Lao The special assignment of
the day. the bill to regulate the hours of labor
in incorporated establishments, came up, the
question being on ordering 10 third reading.
Mr.. White moved several amendments, which
were adopted
The following is the bill as amended:
Sect. |. From and after the fourth day of
July, eighteen hundred and ffty-six, no per-
son under the age of twenty one years, shall,
under any contract, be employed in any man.
ufactory, incorporated under the laws of this
Commonwealth, for longer period than six
ty hours in any one week, or more than an
average of ten hours per day during the same
period.
Sect 2. Every person who shall knowing.
ly employ, and every parent or guardian who
shall consent to the employment ofany minor
as aforesaid, contrary to the preceding section,
shall, for every such offense, forfeit and nav
the penalty of not less than ten dollars, nor
more than fifty dollars, half to the com
plainant, and the other halt to the town or ci-
ty in which such offense ia committed.
Mr.. Carey Of Essex, supported the bill.
Mr.. Hall OF Essex, regretted that he was
compelled to differ from his colleague. He
proceeded to consider the effects of ten hour
law on the factory system, maintaining that
under it mills would be obliged to remain idle
portion of the time because grown men and
women could not be had. The ten hour law
would reduce the wages of operatives Is per
cent. Though they could live under this re.
duction, they could lay up nothing.
Mr.. Osgood of Essex, who has lived A
years in factory population, opposed the bill
in plain speech. The ten hour law move
ment, he said, was started by outsiders, and
was not desired by the operators themselves.
After further debate, the subject was as
signed to Wednesday at half past ii o'clock.
HoUsE.-Mr. Deyereux Of Salem, moved
reconsideration of the vote by which the House
passed TO be engrossed the Senate resolve au-
thorizing the printing of certain documents
connected with the Convention of 1885,
He accompanied his motion by some remarks
rejecting on Mr. G. Hale Of Boston, IN whose
handwriting the resolvels appeared TO be, and
who had been strenuous for retrerching the
expenses of the State, in such matters as
these

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGREss.

MONDAY Mafcn 81.
SENATE.-The Senate resumed the consid-
Grafton of the resolutions submitted by Mr..
Iverson, providing for the appointment of
committee to summon members of the late
Naval Board, for the purpose of ascertaining
the reasons which governed the action of the
Board. Mr.. Iverson reviewed the action of
the Board, sympathizing with the unfortunate
victims OF that extraordinary tribunal.
Mr.. Slidell opposed the pending resolution,
and defended the action of the Board.
Mr.. Butler objected to the legal character
Of the Board, and said they had not conform
ed to the law.
HoUsE.-The Military Committee were in
stIucted to enquire into the expedieney of &C.
cepting the services of volunteers, to aid in
the suppression of Indian hostilitles on the
Pacific coast
The House considered, till adjournment.
the bill approplating $500, 900, to secure and
maintain peace with the Indian tribes on the
Pacific coast; and 100000 for the purchase
of gunpowder
The general appropriation bills were made
the special order for and after the 18th of
April, excepting Mondays, Fridays, and Sat-
urdays.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, f1om the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, to which had been
referred bill for the suppression of Indian
hostilities in Oregon ana Washington Terri
tories, reported a substitute. under the direc-
ton of the Presi lent, for restoring and NAM
tanning the peaceabe dispositions of the In
dian tribes on the Pacific coast, and $l20, 600
to purchase gunpowder
Mr.. Lane of Oregon, proceeded to show
that the war commenced against the Indians
was NOT instigated by the white settlers.
Mr.. Anderson of Washington Territory, in-
sisted on the necessity of the appropriation.
MI. Zollicoffer said he thought an investi-
CATION was necessary, before voting money.
Mr.. Phillips advocated immediate action
upon the bill.

The DoME.-We understand that the cost
of the dome being constructed for the centre
of the capitol building, will be, per estimate,
about million of dollars. This fact evident
ly produces finching among some of the mem
bers. 1t was designed by Mr.. Walters, the
accomplished architect of the extension of
the building, and the committee of the House
having charge of the subject procured the
appropriation Of $1,000 to commence its
construction, before its cost was estimated SO
highly were they delighted with its plan
Since the estimate has been made, however,
as we remark above, there is no little hesita-
ton manifested. The plan will, and should
be carried out, as airy change in it will mar
the whole effect of the expenditure from the
treasury on the other portions of the great
work. Washington Star, March 26.

These letters had all been regularly advertised
in newspapers having the largest circulation.
So rapid is the emigration, however, that en-
terprising adopted citizens, many of them
with their farming implements, press their
way from the West to the far West, and
thence to the tar, far West, that it seems all
most impossible for the mails, even at railroad
