CITY Drainage.

Our City Council on Tuesday evening,
had an interesting discussion, and took some
steps on the subject of a plan for the COM
plets drainage of the city. The Prcj5t, as
evolved in the discussion, seems to be about
this. To determine, first, what sewers
ought to be built; then to estimate their
cost; and lastly, when the same shall be
the question of loan of sufficient amount
Of money to defray this expense.
The subject is an important one, and de-
serves to be talked about outside the coun-
cil.-Nobody doubts but our city needs
drainage awfuily, nor that any city affords
better facilities for draining. There are
pools along the south side of the canal-on
the north side of the canal-west Of the
side-cut, and around Ottawa centre, and
east Of Fox River, that never dry up, and
that are az prolific of malaria and pestilen-
tial vapors as any low filthy places can be-
In view Of the amount of sickness they I'M
questiOnably cause, one would think no
sum within the means of the city would be
considered too great to effect their thorough
drainage. But sewers cannot be made thr o
all the streets, and wherever they are loca-
ted, there will be jealousies on the part OF
streets not specially favored. The sum
named to effect the object ,OO0-wil
also strike our citizens as large. The better
course might be to construct one sewer at Z
time, and let the work continue through
several years, so as not to be too burden
some at once Local assessment, also, ought
not to be left wholly out OF view. There
are plenty Of lots that will be doubled in
value by a contiguous sewer, and their own.
ers can afford to pay for the benefit. The
whole subject deserves to be earnestly can
vassed.

The LEGISLATURE.

We have not even a skeleton of the pro-
eeedings of the legislature of later date
than Saturday, although we have learned
by telegraph that the adjournment took
place on Thursday.
With exception of the apportionment bill,
which was vetoed by Gov. BiSseii, we
believe all the important measures brought
before the legislature at the present session,
have been passed. The amendments to the
School Law, the Normal School bill, the
amendment to the Banking Law, the River
Improvement Bill, and the bill to amend the
revenue law have all passed, with many
other important laws of general nature
the titles of which do not at this moment
occur to US. Our local bills, such as a bill
to build Supreme Court room at Ottawa,
the bill authorizing the erection of dam
ut the ford above town, the bill to amend
the bridge charter, &c, &c, have also all
gene through, so far as we are advised.
The State board of equalization, and the
bill to pay the canal claims are probably de-
fsated, and perhaps fortunately, and most
unriehfcous bill to extend our city limits
has happily shared the same fate.
Upon the whole, the Legislature has been
q most industrious and useful one. Party
spirit ran higher during the session than
has been usual in our legislature, but it led
to no disgraceful brawls. Doubtless hun
dreds of local bills as usual, were not reach
ed, but the country is safe without them.
Six or eight hundred acts must have been
passed, and these embrace as much law as
any state needs in two years.

ILLINOIS DIsCREDITED BASks.-Of the four
Illinois Banks thrown out during last month,
but one, the Prairie State Bank, has made
arrangements for redeeming its notes at
Chicago 1t is understood that this Bank
has passed into the hands Of parties who
design doing a local business, and as Its
stocks are of good class, its issues are de-
serving of confidence, and are now bankable
a. Chicago
The Stock Security Bank is represented
TO have made good its securities at the Au-
ditor's Office, bu, as those banks who are
most anxious to keep up the credi, of all
Illinois Banks decline taking its notes at
better than ten per cent discount, it is fair
to suppose that they regard the notes as only
worth ninety cents on the dollar, which is
now their current value in Chicago.
The Peoples Bank of Carmi and Rush
vile Bank arc still selling at ninety cents,
without much prospect Of their being re-
vived With the present price Of their Sc
curities, ten per cent. discount affords iair
profit to those buying the notes, but any
serious fall in the New York Stock market
would at once increase the discount on all
deprecated Illinois currcncy.-Cht. Bank

A large number of amendments were Of

standing II for to ID against-and the de-
bate was decidedly sharp, but net bitter or

third reading
At the evening session, no quorum ap-

2 House.-After some unimportant business
in::the morning. Mr.. Moulton, fsom the joint
committee on the subject, reported bill to
apportion the state into senate and represen-
tative districts. After the bill was read, MIR.
Kelsey, from the minority of the same COM
mittee, also reported bill to accomplish a
like object. A motion to read the bill first
read second time elected q debate, when
the Republicans, fearing it might prevail,
left the hail, 80 that the house was without a
quorum, and adjourned.
In the afternoon and evening q large num-
Der of bills passed, but we find but two
named of any interest to our readers. The
senate amendments to the bill to erect a su-
preme court building at Ottawa, and to the
| bill for the improvement Of the Illinois river
were scverally taken up and passed, so that
| both these bills have become laws.
Saturday, Feb. IA.
.Seaate.-Dunham's bank bill, which had
previously passed the house, was taken up
and passed-2l to 8. So the house bill to
incorporate the Morris Gas Light and Coke

from Ottawa to Dwight (Strawn's road) 30
the house bill to erect a new penitentary.
A large number of local bills again passed
during the day; and in the evening resolu-
ton was adopted to adjourn sine die on
Tuesday.
House "A resolution to adjourn sine die
on Tuesday was tabled. A bill passed au.
thorizing the building of bridge across the
Illinois river at Henry. All day spent il
passing local bills too numerous to mention.
In the evening the apportionmcnt bill came
up on its second reading, when Mr.. Arnt Id
moved that the bill, together with the mi
nority report, be laid on the table and or
dered to be printed. Agreed to. Mr.. Lo-
gan next moved that the bill, with the mi
