eince our last iettor. new Dille ARG oeHhS
introduced daily, on all imaginable sub
jscts, while scarcely any have yet been
passed. We have now OH our table about
one hundred aud sixty House bills. and
nearly as many Senate bills. If these
several bills are all to be acted upon, II
will require. at the rate of progress 30 far
made, n length Of time never before con-
sumed by Legislative body. We do not
say that any body is to blame for this de-
lay, as we have no means Of knowing
Certain il is, the time is not consumed by
any opposition on the part Of the Repub-
licans. The Democracy having an over
vhslmipg msjority in the House. consti-
Iutsd the committees in all cases 70 suit
them selves, and so have absolute control
sf-the business, through their committees.
They are now talking of an adjourned
session. This. however, 1 think will not
carry.
A bill has just been introduced, which
sims another blow 1t the Banks. It is
almost literal transcript Of the Crowbar
law, which was pronounced unconstitu-
tionalby the Supreme Court Of the United
states, and which cost the people 50 many
thousands of dollars in litigation and dam
Gres. Brs it, seems the Democracy can
see no validity in the decisions Of that
Court on. any subject which does not re-
late in some way to the "inevitabSe" ne
gro; while its slightest dictum, if it
gives but new stab at the vitals Of free
dom, or mingles an additional ingredient
in tie CUP Of bitterness held to the lips Of
the feeble and oppressed, is held more
sacred than constitutions or right.
An exhibition Of the pupils Of the Deaf
and Dumb Institution is now being held
In the Representatives Hall. The house
is dlled TO over1owing with the members
and citizens to witness the exercises. The
scene is one of great interest. The gu
perintendent has given very interesting
history Of the education Of the Deaf and
Dumb. and the pupils are giving proof
IF their proficiency. No one can witness
these exercises without a feeling Of won
der a: the success Of the effort to give to
these unfortunate children of the State,
that inestimable blessing Of mental and
moral culture which they could attain in
no other way. surely there is no citizen
ef this great State, who, with full un-
Outstanding Of the subject, could vote to
'withhold the meansof placing these ben
e6ts within the reach of all who need
them: thus, not only comforting untold
blessings on these pupils, but giving 10
the State and society valuable class Of
who must otherwise have re-
nSined grierous burden thereon.
There is decided commotion i'll the
camp Of the faithful this evening. 1t will
be remembered that the "old wheelhorse,'
tam. Medary, left the S:stc of Ohio some
time ago, after farewell feast which was
considered as q card of everlasting with
drawal from the State. He was trans
far,ed to Minnesota, As her Governor, and
there, under the auspices of James Buch-
ansn, as is charged openly and persist
entity by the Republicans Of that territory,
he 30 successfully played the Calhoun
game, as by fraud and false returns to Sc
cure Democratic majority. This was
expected to inure 10 the benefit of said
Sam. Medary by securing him seat in
the United States Senate. But having
failed in that object. his main purpose in
removing to Minnesota failed. But he
had. nevertheless, by his zeal in the cause,
placed himself right on the issue, and it
became necessary for the President to
give him his reward. That has just been
done, and hence the row in the camp here.
The Postmaster here has been suspected
Of ia want Of zeal in the cause of the
Kansas villainy, and the news has just
struck, like . clap Of thunder, that said
Ham. Medsry, of Minnesota, has been ap-
p ,inted Postmaster at Columbus, Ohio!
You may believe there is some tall swear
ing in consequence. Well. the work goes
brHvely on. The Postmaster at Chicago
fas also been removed on suspicion Of
infdslity TO Calhoun and his instigators.
But We must close for to-day.

State Journal" has been issued, from
