Enron JouHsAi---Dsar Sir The most no.
table thing since my last, is the remarkable
document Of the Chairman on Federal relations,
reviewing Governor Chases message. The gen
tleman who occupies that exalted position is the
Hon. Hunter Brooke Of Cincinnati, avery small
man bodily, but with mighty large mind. He
read the report from the Clerks desk himself,
and though could not'hear it distinctly, yet |
heard enough 10 know that it used up Governor
Chase and his message, aTful 1t was about as
long as the message and took about half an hour
to real it.. When finished, the memb"r from
Foyette arose and said, that being desrous Of
having his name connected with so magnificent
production, he would move thai copy be re-
quested of the author, and the same be sent TO
the Secretary Of State, bound in calf and filed
lmong the archives OF the State chat it nigh,
go down to poserity unmutiloted, and he de-
sired that his name be attached thereto as the
NOV o. the motion. Mr. Van Worries meyed
that the Governor have leave TO withdraw the
offensive suggestions, which was agreed too.
Quite number Of bills were disposed of yes.
terday and Thursday. The bill to repeal the ten
pr cent. law was reported back from the Com.
mittee on Financ, with accommodation that
it BE- indefinitely postponed. It came upon the
House suddenly aud caused quite nutterinS
among the members. 1t was soon nscertained
that there was another batch of speeches ready
cut and dried aud nearly spoiled by Keeping
Mr.. Aubbtll opened in we'll written speech in
favor Of the bill, went back to the days of Mo-
ses and quoted scripture as being against illegal
interest. His quotations did nos show very
familiar history of the Bible, but it was thought
quite creditable for a lawyer. He was followed
by the member from Lucas in favor Of free trade
in money and against its repeal. He was broken
oTby recess, and continued after dinner for hal
an hour. Unfortunately your correspondent
fell asleep and lost the closing up Of his spec ch
which was said to have been very good. Hear
ing singular rurbling noise, like distant thun
der, he awokc to hear the gentleman from Wash
ington reading a speech from the clerks desk
but could not tell which side it was on, afte
reading about hall an hour. He was followed
by his colleague from the same county in
speech oi about the same length. believe i
was on one side of the question, but could no
tell from the reading. Several others were abIu
bobbing up, whea the gentleman from Shelby
moved tho previous question. Though the
House refused to sustain it by decided vote
il had the effect to stop rurther discussion an(
the vote was taken, anl the bill engrossed for
third reading next Thursday. Ii the law is re
pcaled it will be by close vote

read. 1t was an interesting, though to me-
melancholy exhibition, and would have don
credit 10 any institution where they have eyes t
