and noes are being read upon a motion to re-
consider the vote of Saturday last, whereby
the House refused to grant mileage to Mr..
Hovt who was kickapood out of his seat to
give place to Upton, the Lecomptonite The
matter was argued on Saturday last by Judge
Hall on the part of Mr. Hoyt, and by D. X.
Newell for the occupant Judge Halls
speech as you will see by its report in the
Union, was an able eloquent and convincing
one With the right of the question on his
sideand nerved to the task with a consciousness
of that right, he spoke with the clearness and
vigor which have made him so conspicuous
in our legislative halls and before the people.
Reporters say that Judge Hall is the smooth
est talker in the State He has much fluen-
cy and oratorical grace in his manner of de-
livery, and never makes bad speech. The
contrast between his effort and that of Mr..
Newell was a painful one. While Judge
Hall talked with his peculiar ease and with
great reason. MIR. Newell shouted, foundered
and gesticulated and in answer to the
Judges sound arguments, advanced the pecu.
liar sophistries of the Lecomptonites-sick

called every morning. and are constantly in
their places on the floor, and ready for busi.

to condemn Lime Point and cause it to be
submitted to an apprisal, meets with much
favor from all but the absolute slaves of DR..

up for discussion. 1t has been referred to
the Committee on Federal Relations.
Mr.. Fuller has given notice of a bill pro-

law. 1t is one of the bills that should pass
The honest drinkers of this State have a right
to be protected against the component pois-
ons of rotgut, and whereas Mr.. Fuller never
takes anything strong. this move on his part
shows much real regard for the majority of
his constituents. That's a whopperl-ED.]

ing manner by which flremen of your city
can obtain exempt certificates. This bill

building of the HOughton wagon road The
document is pregnant with buncombe and
contained, among other things, a reference
