Drama Of diversified character. There beauty
and fashion shonu with dazzling splcndOr.
There a specimen of rustic life and country
custom. There picture of low, thore of
high life. Hero tho Governor, thcro the
governed. Here tho Court, there tho suitor
Hero tho Militia, Fright arm of our country's
dc.onse;" thoro tho rabble. Ilore tho Leg
islator. there the constituent (rather hard
to pick them out in a crowdO all anxiously
waiting tho opening of tho ceremony. Tho
:imo for this at length arrived, and tho ven
cradle DR. llogo opened with prayer. Tho
different State officers wcro sworn in, Gov
Donnison said his say, and took tho oath Of
Office Tho crowd broke forth in cheers.
The music struck up q national air, tho
simultaneous firing of cannon announcrd to
them outside, that the ceremony had ended,
and q new administration was inaugurated.
Lieut.. Gov. Wolkcr presided in his usual
quiet, dgnifCd and efficient manner. Gov.
Chase was upon tho stand, and appeared
not all discomposod at tho removal of tho
Gubcrnat tOral wreath from his brow to that
of his successor. The Inaugural of Gov.
Dcnnson, (of which sent you q copy i'm
mcdiatcly upon its do!ivery) is considered
State paper OF ability, and is a very clear
and forciblo dclineation of Republican
principles.
Wednesday, January IL.
Tho Senate havo passed bill suspenhing
Tho School Library tax for two years. How
this will fare in tho House is yet uncertain,
although very probably it may pass there
also bill making partial appropriations
tor 1850, TO day passed the House, and one
increasing tho salaries of Common Plcus
Judges was indefinitely postponed. From

poet of salaries being increased by the pres.
ent Legislature. Tho Senatorial question
which has excited so much interest, not only
hero. but throughout tho State and Country
is disposed of for tho present. | under.
stand that at Il joint caucus of tho Repubi-
can members this evoning,it was determined
to postpone making nomination until the
first day of February, agreeing to meet and
nominate at that timc. 1t is now pretty
unanimously conceded that Chase is to be
Senator without much opposition, and this
postponcment is agreed to, as q sort oi
casing off of tho matter to those fow who
had been strongly opposed to him. No
nows of interest from tho bear garden, Wash.
ingtOn. Some intimations have boon given
that tho Republicans might leave Sherman
and tako up some other candidate. SO far as
can be judged here, it is earnestly hoped
this will not DO tho case, as productive OF
no good.
Saturday, January 16.
Daring tho two days past, several bills
have been disposed of in tho two Houses,
either by passage or postpOnomont Among
these mono arc noticed of any particular in.
forest, unless it is tho Senate Bill restoring
tho ten per cont interest law. This on
Thursday was indefinitely postponed. Con
siderable discussion has occurred within O
few days, upon publishing reports of pro.
ccedings in tho daily papers. Tho House
refused to print. But it is thought somo pIar
will yet be agreed upon. There appears tC
DO some disposition to repeal the law pro
viding for somi-annual collection of taxes
but hardly think it will be disturbed.
The House last evening adjourned over
until Monday. and tho Senate until Tuesday
Very many bills have been introduced ant
referred to committees, and no loss nect
occur, by taking short recess, to ALLOW
such committees to perfect business. Mem
bers see . to devote themselves to business
with u will, and n commendablo spirit o
economy md determination to curtail ex
pcnses, is manifested Tho general opinion
is in favor of short, working session. Ii
this We, tho people, most heurtily concur.
