- Icslling on Treasurer for a variety of
NATION in regard to Railroads and

ing olDn friday Gov. Randall delivered hi,
kage III person. His eloquent reading
\ ,osH alded much 10 It's effect. 1t receives
eto' hsarty approval of homo: able men Of
Iaaies and the Republicans rejoice that
anil lhye a Governor who speaks with
uncertain sound. The message occu-
al hour and 40 minutes in reading,
,Is, yet i. contains no superfluous matter.

Paed. 1t was opposed by Senators
ss Giles, Wheeler, N. Virgin and 9th
uAk Nirgin argued against it strongly on
: se 9 bound that the resolution proposed to
|oS Paal a law, because, a great part of our
-prrefcy had come to be really ire deem
p be and that to pay it out, especially for
ELsEhoe Money, would be an outrage; that
thdpsanlum would be offered to those who
ISOLATED the law and delayed payment

Qer and it will not be got through
& he House without fighting. The Sen
f las not yet settled the Chaplain ques-
- In the House the usual farce was
d PED, in which Mr. Dean of your dis
"a took a part, and the end was that
Resilient clergy are invited.
