No examples have yet been made; but should any offer
resistance shall not be surprised at any thing in the
way of punishment. The surrounding towns have sent
delegations to meeting and offered assistance
and support. Law reigns supreme. 1t is the law of

derstood by venerable Secretary of State and which
is founded the necessity of forming society and

Legislature.

Tuesday both Houses were engaged near
ly all day in discussing the subject of the
joint convention Of The two Houses on Mon
day to count the votes for Governor and 1t.
Governor. The Senate were invited to join
the House at the proper hour, but delayed
the acceptance of the invitation till the nau-
guration had passed. LIT. Gov. Willard at the
hour designated by the House, proceeded to
the Hall of Representatives, followed by the
Democratic members, while the Republicans
were left in the Senate, discussing tie pro
priety of accepting the invitation.
The records Of the House was made to de-
clare that the Senate was present at the
counting of votes. The Republicans in the
House insisted upon correcting this misstate
housekeeping that the Senate as body was
present at all,-and the question was raised
whethe Willard had been constitutionally in
Quoted into office, or whether he was in fact,
Governor at all. The correction was refused
after an exciting debate, and the record re-
mined as originally made up.
The same question arose in the Senate and
! led to an exciting debate, denying
that the Senate had participated in any way
in the joint meeting, and as the acquisitions
of the constitu ton had not been complied with
the proceeding was nugatorv, and a resolu-
ton was passed directing the judiciary COM
mittee to enquire if A. A. Hammond was
constitutionally Lit. Governor, and by what
right he presided over the Senate. Every
question is decided in the Senate bya strict
party vote Of % to 27.
i A resolution was offered in the Senate en-
quiring into the expediency of dispensing witt
the services of Superintendent of Public In
struction. Mr.. Drew offered a resolution pro
posing to expend the school fund tax, in The
q county where it was collected. A resolution
was offered inquiring into the expediency o
abolishing Courts of Common Pleas.
