AFTERNOON SESSION

The President laid before the Senate he
report Of the Trustees Of the Institris lor
the Blind, which was referred TO the Cons
mittee on Benevolent Institutions.
This report was in reference to the trial
Of Prof. Larrabee for alleged misconduct.
The bill TO regulate and restrain the
sale and disposal Of spurious and intoxi-
eating liquors. &c, having been the spec
ial order Of the day at two O'Clock, the
Senate proceeded TO its discussion. the
bill being on its second reading.
johnson offered an amendment to the
bill, and made very sensible and point
ed speech againsttha licence system.
On motion Of Weir. the Senate resolved
il itself into Committee Of the Whole, for
for the purpose of considering the bill
Mr.. Harrington in the Chair.
The debate in Committee was lengthy
the bill being read and discussed by
sections.
We have not reported the debate in
Committee Of the whole, as no temper
ance discussion, in this day Of temper
ance literature, brings forth any new points
or ideas. Wemay say, however, that the
debate was animated and lively. Moth
ing definite was determined on. After a
rather boisterous time, the COmmitts rose
and reported progress. -

The Germans In Missouri for
manc1puffon.

The German papers Of Missouri very
generally come out in favor Of free labor
in that State, as likely to advance its do
nestle prosperity. The Anzeiger declares
that the question cannot be too much dis
cussed, and that the Emancipation par
ty in st. Louis IS already stronger than
the Benton party ever wasr The same
paper declares that notwithstanding the
movement was so sudden, it has gained
many unexpected friends and supporters
in the ranks of the National Democracy
The Anzeiger adds: at is certain that St
Louis, and probably a few other counties
are ripe for this agitation, and that any
movement on the part of the borderers IL
Western Missouri to interfere again in the
affairs of Kansas viii certainly be the sig
nal for the agitation Of the question o.
emancipation in Missouri" The volks-
b!att also occupies much the same ground.

Close Of the Illinois LsgisIa-

The closing scenes Of tho Illinois Leg
islature were rather exciting. An Appor-
tionment Bill had been reported by the
Democrats, which was opposed BY the
Republicans, but ii was finally passed.
The Republicans did not care much as
they presumed the Governor would veto
II. When The bin was carried into Gov
srnor Basel, he had looked It over and
laid It aside to return it with objections;
but soon alter taking il up he fixed his
name thereto, Inadvertently. supposing
that he was asserting to another measure.
Soon after. Mr.. johnson, his Secretary, in
looking over the bills approved, found this
one on the table, and without knowing
what was the Governors real purpose,
copied the title into a message to the
House. and reported il back as approved.
The announcement made profound SEN
sation on each side ol the Hall, because
Of the unexpectedness Of the act; and
very soon friends came rushing to the
Governor, wondering at what he had
done. The intelligence surprised him as
much as any one else, ard he very prompt
ly sent IN another message announcing the
mistake to the Speaker, and saying that
he would return the bill with his objec-

The act which has just been signed by
the President, for Wagon Road to the
Pacific, contains the following provisions,
viz:
/. That $4,000 be appropriated fol
the construction of Wagon Road, from
Fort Keamey, in the Territory Of Nebras-
ka, via the South Pass Of the Rocky
Mountains to Honey Lake, on the eastern
boundary Of California, to form a connec.
ton with the road already authorized from
Fort Ridgley to the South Pass.
2. That 100000 DO appropriated 10
construct Wagon Road, from FL Paso, on
the Rio Grande, to Fort Yuma, at the
mouth of ella river, to be expended under
the direction Of the Secretary Of the into
rior.
s. That $4,000 be appropriated for the
Construction Of Wagon Road, Fort De-
fiance, in the Territory of New Mexico,
to the Colorado river, near the mouth Of
Mohoxa river.
These roads will make the passage Of
emigration across the uninhabited regions
much easier. In fact they will make the
construction Of railroads, to which they
are only precursors, much easier and
more practicable. The road FROM El Pa
so to the mouth of the ella is of great i'm
portauce. 1t passes through the Gadsder
Purchase, and will connect with steam
navigation to the Pacific This road is q
continuation of the Southern Pacific, and
should that road reach FL Paso, it will
make connection between the Mississip-
pi and the Gulf of California. This will
divert much of the trade Of the Panama

ulators in Central America.

We gave Prof. Tatman call last Sat

it well supplied with customers, and hon
ored by two companies of lady visitors,
during our short stay, and adorned by as
fine specimines of the art as we ever saw
any place. His work is of a superior
quality, and therefore he has patronage
that few Artists can boast Of in a country

Feb. Is, 1857,

A fatal affray has occurred at Lecomp-
ton this afternoon. A Gov. Geary meet
ing was broken up by Mr.. Sherrard,
Sheriff Jones, and Others, in a fight.
The meeting was called by the friends OF
Gov. Geary to sustain his course. Efforts
were made by these to get men from
Lawrence and Topeka, favorable to Geary.
II is stated that several carriages were hir-
ed, the money supplied by Gov. Geary,
10 bring them here. The Governor had
threatened he would resign If he was not
sustained. The meeting began at two
O'Clock, in the open air. More than a
hundred persons were present. Mr.. Sher-
rard was there with some twenty or thir.
ty of his friends, all armed with revolv-
ers. AS the meeting had been called on
account Of the Sherrard outrage on the
Governor, these came to break it up
There werc some speeches; the Govern
ors private Secretary, Mr.. McAlister,
made speech.
A Committee to draft resolutions had
been appointed. These were three Gov.
Geary men, and two Sherrard men
Sheriff Jones and DR.. Wood, the Probate
Judge. There was two sets Of resolu-
tions framed, as they could not agree. 1t
was during the reading of the first or Gov.
Geary set, that the fight began. Part Of
the resolutions reflected on Mr.. Sherrard.
He jumped up and sworc that any man
who voted for these resolutions was ''liar
and a coward" He continued this vio-
lence as did others around him, until the
discord became very great when Mr..
Sherrard drew his revolver and fired at a
man named Shepherd. Shepherd drew
his pistol and returned the fire, some 9TH
ers drew their pistols and fred, and for a
few minutes pistols were firing rapidly
AS the combatants were in the midst OF
the crowd, il is matter Of surprise that
so few were hit. Mr.. Shepherd received
three bullets in his body, but is not sup
posed to be MORALLY wounded. MIR. Sher-
rard was shot through tho head by young

Early Days.
BY DORA DE LYLE.

Their memory comes like sunny CLEANS
Across my darkened path,
Or like the vivid lghtnings fash
Amid the tempest's wrath;
Or like the rainbow on the cloud
Its darkness to illume,
Or like the rose leaf love hath brought
To smile upon the tomb.
1t comes to cheer my lonely way
With many pictured dream,
To gild life's dark and shadowy way
With joys reflected beam;
And while the sunlight falleth dim,
And darkness wells the night,
To the pale star of other days
My spirit turns for light.
For have seen the hopes Of youth
Fading in slow decay,
The sacred promises of truth
Like frostwork melt away;
When of the sparkling cup of bliss
My trusting soul would sip,
I've found Che draught all bitterness
And dashed it from my lipl
And can it be that in life's maze
No happiness is found?
Say is there no sweet resting-place
In all earth's varied round?
No bright oasis for the heart
Where "Love's sweet fountain flows"
To cool the parching lip and brow
Amid thousand woes?
Not here, not heret the mournful truth
Is borne on every breeze!
1t sighs through autumn's fading bowers
And murmurs oe'r the seas
The solemn moonlight silently
Doth whisper as we stray
Oh, seek not here for happiness,
Itdwelleth far away.
Beyond yon blue and starlit dome,
Where sin and change are DER,
There is the glorious spirit home,
Where thou shalt weep no morel
Then onward-in life's stormy path
Its flowers shall yet be thine,
If thou wilt keep the marrow wayn
That leads to life divine
