Charles ID. Hiueline, of Harrisburg, as GU
pefiptepden, of Public Printing Tor the

tension of the time.

duciDg the compensation Of members from
500 to $500.
The Senate unanimously confirmed the
nominations of A. G. Waterman, John

tees of the State Lunatic Hospital.
The bill releasing the first mortgage OF
the State for So, 100000 on the Sunbury
& Erie Railroad, passed one reading IN
the House by majorify-(two Members
afterwards recording their votes against 1t
virtually making it a tic vote.) Ia the
Senate, however, it is said to be killed by
new act, which extends to the Company
one year more of time to pay the interest
now tue-thus giving them ample oppor-
tunity TO make other arrangements than
to conjure three and a half millions more
out OF the people throug b the State Treas
ury. This latter safe and reasonable mea-
sure of relief, passed Senate-l1 to 10
In the House Ii was postponed for the
present" by a vote OF 81 to III. Two mo-
lions of Mr. Gordon to fix some day for
its consideration were lost by . to
votes. All parties will be willing the
Company shall have this remedy. Now
let the Democratic lords who have grown
rich on these works, help those whose
money they have used, and finish the
work under their Chiefs Administration,
or let it 60 into other and cleaner hands.

damages for having a Bridge elsewhere
The time for building a Bridge at Selius

purpose. Now, there is a fair race-Se-
linsgrove vs.. Sunbury-to try the depth
Of pockets.
The Senate passed Gan act relating to
Deer in thecounty of Union" (WeknOw
not its provslOns.)
Mr. Wagonseller offered a resolution,
requiring the Susquehanna Canal Compa-
ny to comply vi b requirements of GER
tain act, which oblIges them TO make slu-
ces in every dam r,c,ed by them across
the SuSquehanna river, for the passage Of

taDce, aud the Company has neglected
thus far to comply with the requirements
Of the act

Of rope ferries within two miles of any
bridge IN Lycoming and Clinton counties,
has passed both Houses, aud been sent

reimbursement by the Reading Con-
'ention. his vetoes are ruthlessly ly overrun
Jy the Legislature.
