DIAR SPIRIT: Both branches Of the
Legislature are hard at work on the i'm
portantl bills of sthe session. There are
nowlfssr sabutreasury bills before us-tws
from the Senate, ,.by Mr. Hatch, and two
from the House--Tone by Mr.. Brooke and
one: by Mr. Morse. There is no very
important difference between Hatch's last
billiard Morss's 40 Mr.. Brooke's attracts
but little attention. The Senate has
stricken out the section of ,Hatchs bin
providing for the semi ANIMAL collection Of
taxes, and also, that section providing for
the payment of taxes in specie after a cer-
tain specified time The bill could not
have passed either House while eoutan-
ing these provisions.
A. ferqdaJs since resolution was ia
introduced resolving that itrwas inexpe-
dent to hold an adjourned session. It
gave rise to much discussion, and num-
Der of amendments and substitutes were
offered, .-that it is in violation Of the spirit
Of. the constitution to hold an adjourned
session ''s A Democrat moved 10 amend
by adding that ssthe adjourned session of
last year was in violation of the spirit Of
the consti.ntions3 This as . matter Of
csursei sknocked sshe wind out" Of the
Republican, and caused him to be we'll
laughed st. The whole subject was final
" referred TO select committee, without
test yete having. been taken; but from
the indications / think it very doubtful
whether an adjourned session will he cali
ed. For my own part l an, inveterattly
hostile to it.
Much to my surprise the committee Oh
new counties repcrtedsa bill authorizing a
vote of the pe0rlesof Belmont county on
tn. removal Of .heir county SCAT to Bel
lair. There has been strong outsids
pressure here for the vote since the open
ing afthe session. The opponents of the
removal gsupposing there was no danger
have used little exertion. It would b
safer for them 70 pay, some attention t
