Ono i.EG1sL1TURE.-YFe have not been
able to find anything in the daily reports of
the proceedings of our Legislatu re of suf-
icient interest to warrant the occupying of
our space Herewith at a time like the pres
sent when there are SO many matters of alb
sor5ing interest transpiring and demanding
attention. The truth is, that though there
have been a large number of bills introdu-
ced, there has as yet been very little done to-
ward disposing of them-and in order to
show that this is not a mere fancy of ours,
we add a paragraph from the Columbus let
ter of the correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial of the lst inst, and another
from the editorial columns of the State Jour-
nal of the Cd.
The correspondent OF the Commercial
says:
Everything at the Capital to-day is hor-
ridly dull, and everybody seems to be i'm
pressed accordingly. The ennUi is universal.
Legislative matters drag YEARLY along, and
from this there is at present no prospect OF
escape. The fifth week of the session has
commenced, and The record shows that in
truth nothiug has been done-that is, nothing
for which the Legislature was called upon
by the people to do. Near a hundred bills
many of them of questionable Importance
have been introduced into the House, and
of these less than enc dozen have been dis
posed OF. In six weeks more the majority
tell US that they will adjourn. What vii
they have done then! is now u pertinent
question. This morning found both Houses
without a quorum. BY dint of sundry mes
sages, in the hands of the SergeGnt-at-Arms
a quorum was at last secured, and-nothins
done!'
The State Journal thus notices the doing:
of the first four weeks of the session and the
entrance upon the 5th:
THE Legislature has entered upon it
fifth week, and thus far very few acts have
been passed. Much Of the time has beef
sPant in legislating for Kentucky, b.
passing laws to aid shareholders TO catch run
away negroes. Neither Of these bills, how
ever have as yet become laws. They vii
probably assume that form befqEe the end o
the week, unless our Democratic friends thin.

The late Attempt to Assassinate Napoleon.
PARIS, Jan. 18th, 1S5S.--The Moniteur
Of to, day gives the following notice OF the
attempt TO assassinate the Emperor:
Last night, at 81 O'Clock, at the moment
Of their Malesties' arrival at the Opera, three
explosions of shells were heard. A number
of the crowd who were standing by the
doorway, several of the soldiers of the
escort, and of the Garde de Paris, were
wounded, two of them morlally.
Neither the Emperor nor the Empress
was touched. y piece of shell, however,
pierced his Majesty's hat and General
Roguet. aide-de-camp in waiting, who was
sitting in the carriage, was slightly wounded
on the back Of the head. Tne carriage it.
self was much shattered.
The Emperor and Empress, on entering
| the Opera, were received with the warmest
enthusiasm. The course of the performance
went on as ususl.
On hearing o. the event which had taken
place, their Imperial Highnesses Jerome
Napoleon andthe Prince Napoleon, the Prin-
cess Mathilde, as well as Prince Murat, the
minister, several marshaIls and great func-
tionaries, the members of the diplomatic
body, and the Projects Of the Seine and Of
Police, the Procureur General Of the Court
| Of Paris and the Procureur Imperial attend
ed their Mujes,ies.
The g Instruction was at once ommen
ced and several arrests were effected.
Their Majesties left the Opera at mid.
night. The Boulevards were spontaneously
Illuminated, and a vast concourse of peopIe
cheered the Emperor and the Empress mos
enthusiastically and touchingIy as they
passed on their way TO the Tuileries. Or
arriving there their NECESSITIES found a greal
number Of persons, amongst them the Am
bassador of England, the President Of the
Senate, members of the diplomatic body
and several Senators, waiting to offer theii
congratulations.
Another dispatch states that
The Emperor's face is slightly scratched
by fragments of glass, The Emperor anC
Empress are perfectly we'll. At twelve
O'Clock the Imperial famiiy attended a sol
emn mass, with the ministers Of state. The
conspirators are Italians. Four have been

kANsAs.-Matters are rapidly approaching
a crisis in regard to the affa IRIS of this ter
ritory. The Lecompton Constitution, reek-
ing with all it corruption and infany, has
been sent to Congress backed by the full en-
dorseu:ent OF the Pre%sident--it is made an
Administration measure, its support a test of a
party fidelity-and if it does not pass that body
it will not be because all the power and pat
ronage that can be commanded by the Elk
cutive has not been brought into requisition
to effect that object. Advices from Wash
ipgton are conflicting as TO Its probable fate.
The latest estimates of strength in the Sen
ate give as certain 80 votes for the measure,
81 against it, and Pugh of this State, and
Pearce and Kennedy of Maryland doubtful,
and Henderson and Bates absent. Fitch and
diana to which they are not entitled, both sup
port The swindIe, while Minnesota is purpose
ly kept out of the Union till the matter is
disposed of, because the two Senators she
has elected are known to be opposed to it
Of the state of affairs in the House nothing
can be sand with certainty the opponents
Of the measure claim a MAORI ty of six, while
on the other hand the administration claim
a considerable majority on their side. There
will be warm times in Congress the coming
two weeks.
1t will be seen, by reference to extracts
given elsewhere, that Calhoun, by receiving
forged supplemental returns and rejecting
those made to Denver, has elected the entire
ro-slavery ticket, also giving them a majority
in the Legislatnre--which, if the iniquity is
consummated, will add to the infamy of the
affair by giving to himself aud Lecompt,
Cato or some other kindred spirit, seats in
the United States Senate to represent the
people of Kansas, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of

WASHINGTON. Jan. IS.

~ASHiNHfON, jail -
SENATE.-AIr. Foote introduced a
a proposition as an amendment to Dav-
is Pacific Roilroal Bill, in case that of
the majority of Select Committee shall
fail. The latter bill had his concur
renee, but if that of the Confaittee is
defeated, he wished to add a clause for
the Northern Route to the bill of Mr..
Davis.
Mr.. Davis said his bill did not spaci-
~ any route.
Mr.. Foote remarked he did moi in
tend it as antagoniStic to Davis bill,
but as additional so as to have two
routes, a Northern and Southern.
The Senate took up the bill to in
crease the Army.
Mr.. Toomhs said there was no neces-
sity for the passage of the bill on ac-
count of eks Indian hostilities, for
there had not been a body of Indians
within the country for twenty-five years
past which was capable of fighting two
thousand men. With regard to the
Ions to suppose that Brigham Young
was able t. compete with three thous-
and US. troops. Hence there was no
necessity for all increase of the army
on that score.
The hour having arrived for the con

ted until adjournment.

lioUsE-Mr. Burnett said the public
printing had been charged as a source
of corruption, through which the Treas
my is robbed; that gentlemen who hold
the Office Of public printer realize
princely fortunes, and that extensive
combinations arc formed by which the
printing is controlled. He did not
make these charges, nor did he know
how far they are true, yet they are made
through the press Of the country. and
hence should be fully investigated by a
special committee having charge Of the
subject. 1t was a mystery to him how
a public printer could be guilty of COR
ruption. the law regulating his COM
pensati N; but it vas nevertheless true,
that the printing OF both Houses ma
bles contractors to realize immense for
times. 1t had been advanced in favor
of their election, that they give thou
sands of dollars, and freely open their
purses during Presidential canvass.
The printing had grown very enor
mously ia a" few years past. For the
tlirty-second Congress it was $780,
600, and for the tlirty-third it was
nearly LOO, 600, and thirty fourth q
$50, 600 dollars. He, among other
items of extravaganza, said $45, 44C
were spent for cuts of woodcocks,
| squirrels, mice and other worthless ami.
mails, to put into the patent office re-
port. He was for stopping this extrav-
agant drain on the treasury,..but paying

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The Herald's Wash
ington correspondent says: "Lt is reported to
me On good authority, that Mr.. Buchanan
contempIates withdrawing the troops from
Utah"
Mr.. Bernheisel theMormon delegate, has
submitted propositions to The administration
indicating the willingness of the MormoHs
to vacate and c~olonize on some of the islands
of the sea, outside OF the jurisdiction of the
United States, provided the Government
will purchase at a fair valuation, the Salt
Lake City improvements.
Mr.. Bernheisel asks that Commissioners
may be sent out to arrange the terms and de-
tails.
The Administration confidently expects
that Kansas will be admitted as a State with
the L%ecompton Constitution, and that there
will be less opposition from the Northern
and Western members than is generally sup
posed:
Great calculations are made on the con-
saiidated vote of the South.
1t is understood that the Lecompton Con-
~stitution will be referred to the Territor ia
Committee in the Senate and Immediately
reported upon with the bill for the admission
Of Minnesota attached, and they will be
passed together. Similar arrangement
have been made in the House.
An exciting time is anticipated in both
Houses to-day.
The Tribune's correspondent says that
the statement in the Herald about The Tar
if Investigation Committee is a mere fabri-
cation, made up from conjectuTess and float
rumOrS.
There is nothing in Mr.. Stones testimony
that duplicates Mr.. Banks in the least.
The Herald's 81 900 is the old affair o.
the seven hundred dollar loan, ~magniied ten
fold.
