amendments to the Honse bill-he thought
it to be perfectly just measure.
Col. ROBERTSON forcebly demonstra-
ted that the minority had never attempted
to embarrass legislation-they would, as
they had right to do, use all proper means
to defeat an obnoxious measure. No sim
gle act could be pointed at, on their record
showing the least desire to throw impede
ments in the way of just legislation.
After further debate, the motion of Mr..
SWEET for Conference Committee was
defeated.
Mr.. ROBERTSON raised point of Or
der that Mr.. Secombe's amendment was not
in order. Overruled by the Speaker and
the chair sustained by the House, upon an
appeal taken by Mr.. Sanborn.
Mr.. MORRISON moved to amend Mr..

Mr.. WINN moved that the title of the
bill be amended so as to read, "a bill for
the encouragement of prostitution and muir
der" Lost-yeas 2, nays 30.
Mr.. WYNN gave his reasons for the
amendment. He believed such title to be
consistent and in keeping with all the facts
in the case, as brought out on the trial of
this woman. Her associations had been bad
and it has never been denied that she was
not woman of abandoned character. The
object she had in view in getting rid of her
husband, was that she might live with her
paramour, with whom she had for long
time been associated on terms of dsgraceful
intimacy, during the time her husband was
living. Her conduct throughout her trial
had been destitute of single emotion or
feeling which evinced repentant heart, or
womanly instinct. He was in favor,
moreover, Of leaving this whole matter in
the Executive, believing that special legisla.
ton of this kind would act injuriously
to the welfare of the people of the State.
THE APPRAIsEMENT BILL.
San act regulating the sale eff real estate

The Senate amendment to this bill was
taken up, and on the motion to concur, the
yeas and nays were called, and after dis
graceful canvassing at the Clerks table,
participated in by several members, and the
Sergeantsat-Arms, the effect of which was
to Introduce several errors into the tally of
yeas and nays. A new vote was ordered.
A call was then had, and suspended.
Mr.. STEVENS rose to an explanation,
that he had been reported enormously as to
bis views upon this question. He commended
that the Constitution provided for three
distinct departments of the Government,
and be thought the action of this House, in
passing the bill, was unconstitutional, and
violation of the powers belonging exclusive
ly to the Executive and he hoped all who
wished to see the Constitution adhered to,
would vote against the bill
Upon the yeas and nays being called, the
Senate amendment did not receive a consti-
tutional majority, there being yeas 81, and
nays 33.

BILLS ON FINAL PASSAGE.
An act to promote Emigration. This
bill provides for an appropriation of 81 900
to the Governor, to defray expenses of print
ing to attract emigration
MIR. A BBOTT opposed the bill, as being
unconstitutional, and an expense not
likely to benefit the State as much as the
expense.
Mr.. DONOHUE advocated its passage.
He was not afraid to trust the Governor in
this fund :; he felt confident the Governor
would not use it, except in a manner to be
useful to the State.
Ana regulating the manner of submit
ting amendments to the State Constitution
was read. The bill proposes form and

REPORTS.
The COMMITTEE on Agricultural and
Manufactures, to whom was referred certain
petitions and letters in regard to the A gri-
cultural and Mineral resources of the Lake
Superior counties in this State, reported
that the impoverished state of the treasury
would forbid any general system of State
aid to agricultural societies at this time and
that it would be improper to grant aid to
one society or locality, and not to all alike.
The committee therefore reported adversely
to the petition.
The report contained much statistical in.
formation of the commerce of Lake Superior,
by which it appears that the amount of
vessel tonnage was 16 200 tons; exports of
copper, 100000; iron, 81, 5OOO0O; furs,
40,0O0-total exports in 1859, S6,54O,OOO;
