WAYNE CoUNTY.-On Friday last VIM. K. Lane,
Esq., the Senator elect from the County of Wayne,
arrived in the City and was qualified, and took his
seat in the Senate. Mr.. Lane succeeds Gen. Brog-
deu who, on the LIST inst, entered upon his duties
as Comptroller of State. Mr.: Lane will make use
full Senator, and will no doubt meet in every respect
the expectations Of his constituents.
We are glad to hear that Mr.. Brooks, the late
Comptroller, contemplates remaining here for time
to pursue the study of the law. During his resi-
dence in this place Mr.. Brooks has made many
friends, who wish him much success, prosperity,
and happiness in life.

W tis currently reported says the Washing
ton Union, and wo hope good authority, that the
judges of TIE Supreme Court have come to decis-
ion in the case of bred Scott, which involves the
constitution lily of the Missouri Compromise of
1920. Thsrumor is that seven Of the judges-viz:
Chief Justics Taney Justices Catron, Daniel Wayne,
Campbell, Nelson, and Grier, decide the law oflsso
to be unconstitutional Justices Curtis and Mclean
dissent. There other questions in the case about
which nothing is said in the rumor referred to. The
country win look with anxiety for this decision, and
its influence upon sectionalism cannot be otherwise
than highly beneficial ~

The LEGISLATURE.

Monday last, the 9Th, was the commencement of
the eighth week of the session of the Legislature.
On Monday, in the Commons, on motion Of Mr..
Hill, of Halifax, it was resolved to hold evening
sessions from and after Wednesday, the 7th.
On the same day, the Commons passed a resolu-
ton fixing the 26th instant the day for adjourn
ing sine die-and the resolution, being sent to the
Senate, was agreed to by that body. The general
impression appears to be, however, that it will
scarcely be possible to transact the public business
and adjourn by that time nevertheless the fixing of
day for adjournment even if the time should be
postponed, will have tendency to expedite business.
Nearly the whole of Monday was taken up in the
Senate, in the discussion of the BILL presented by
Mr.. Wilder, to re-charter the Bank of the State
The Committee on Banks and Currency, to whom
the bill referred reported the back to the
Senate, with proposition to amend the 18th Sec
ton, by striking out all after the enacring clause,
and inserting in lieu thereof, provision taxing each
share of stock seventy-fve cents per annnm, and
exempting the charter from any further taxation
the part of the State. MIR. Hill offered an amend
ment to the amendment, which was adopted, late
Monday afternoon, and which provides for taxing
each share thirty CENTS which shall be reserved out
of the profits Of individual stock they accrue, and
which may be increased at any time to sum not
exceeding one dollar per annum, for each and every
share. as the Legislature may direct.
Mr.. Hill also offered an amendment to the thir-
ty-third section, making all notes issued by said
bank, payable and redeemable at the principal bank
in Raleigh Before vote was taken on the amend
mcnt, the Senate adjourned.
In the Commons, on Monday, the bill heretofore
introduced by Mr. Stubs, the main feature of
which is that allowing plaintiff and defendant to be
examined as witnesses oath in open Court-was
taken up, and after some debate, passed its second
reading yeas 55, nays SO. A bill to repeal the law

Nothing final has yet been done in relation to
Currency, Internal Improvements, and Revenue
We learn that the able and indefatigabe Chairman
of the Finance Committee in the Senate Mr.. Boyd
of Rockingham, will report to that body some day
during the present week, the labors Of the Com
mittee, now pretty we'll brought to close, having
been interrupted by the absence of members during
the Christmas holydays. 1t will be necessary, we
understand, to add not less than hundred thou
sand dollars per annum to the States revenue.

speech of MIR. Hill. of Halifax.

The attention of our readers is invited to the re-
marks of Mr.. Hill Of Halifax, in our paper to-day,
on the subject Of the Peoples Bank" Mr.. Hill
has discussed the question with much cearness and
ability, presenting conclusive objections to the ap
plication for the charter.
Mr. Hill is the chairman of the House committee
currency, and in this capacity has given consid
cradle attention to questions Of currency and finance
No man of his age in the State is gifted with q
clearer intellec, sounder judgment We have
no idea that Mr.. Caldwsrs bill can become law !;
but if we had, should appeal in earnest tones to
the representatives of the people to ponder well,
before finally acting, the sound and wholesome
truths presented on this question by Mr. Hill
