A week or ten days ago, both branches
passed an act fixing the next meeting of the
Board Of Education for December, 1865
thus virtually abolishing the Board. The
Governor to-day returned the Bill to che
House, with his reasons for the Bon- appro-
val of the same. He deemed the act uncon.
stisusional, iussmuch as it proposed to place
in allegiance an express provision of the
Constitution. In this view, the Governor
10 sustained by WILSON of jefferson, Judge
RANKIN, Of Lee, and other members of equal
legal attachments. The House refused to
pass the Bill over the Governors veto, by a
vote of AZ yeas to "a nays-lacking just ten
votes of constitutional majority-two-
thirds. So the Board Of Education ssstill
lives!"
WEDNESDAY, March 7tb, 1860.
The House, to-day, by vote Of As to IS,
passed the act creating Board Of County
Supervisors. The House has nobly dis
charged its duty in this matter, and it now
but remains for the Senate to follow the ex-
ample Of the House, and the odious system
of County administration will be numbered
among the things that were. The House
also passed an act in relation to the admin
istering Of oaths. This act makes it the du.
ty Of the person administering oaths, to
prescribe that form of oath, which shall be
most binding upon the person taking the
same. A good measure. -.
The Senate did one good thing to-day. 1t
indefinitely postponed the act providing for
the repeal Of the act creating the State Ag-
ricultaral College and farm. But it did
another act, which should oonsign to endless
oblivion its supporters and abettors. After
four days drilling and wheedling, and after
occupying the time of the Senate from IL
o'clock A. NJ. till 5 o'clock P. NJ, with the
aid of two Republicans, the Demecratic
members succeeded in expe.ling from Re.

LINCOLN IN NEW YORK.
The New York Tribune says that the
speech Of Hon. ADRIAN LINCOLN, at the Coop
er Institute in New York city, on the evening
Of the 9th ult., was one of the happiest and
most convincing political arguments ever
made in that city. and was addressed to
crowded and most appreciative audience.
Since the days of Clay and Webster, no
man has spoken to n larger assemblage of
the intellect and culture Of our city. Mr..
Lincoln is one of natures orators, using his
rare powers solely and ef'ectually to eluci-
date and to convince, though their inevita-
