ernor; and the question being on the
passage of the bill, Notwithstanding the
veto,it was nega;ived-yeas 20, nays i
two-thirds not voting in the affirmative
1t was strictly party vote.
Mr.. Mcclure, from the Committee oi
Conference on the Sudbury and Erie Rail
road bill, made report, and stated the terms
of agreement. BY the provisions of the
bill no process can issue for the foreclosure
and sale of the road, either by the Com

are positively stayed till that time. The
creditors for work, labor and materials are
preferred, to the amount Of 5000, 900.
The other features of the bill are general.
ly as before.

Mr. Beardslee.Mr. Speaker
MIR. Rouse, Gnterrupting)-I call the
previous question.
Mr.. Collius.-We demand the opportu-
nifty to denounce this bold scheme Of
robbery.
Mr.. Beardslee.-I had the floor before
the call for the previous question.
Much confusion prevailed. The lobbies
were crowded.
The cal, for the previous question was
sustained, and on the question "shall the
main question be now put up" it was
agreed to-yeas so, nays 81.
The report Of the Committee was then
adopted. Yeas 50, nays 3S.
The Legislature adjourned a, bigh-ncon,
Tuesday of this week, after a rather shor-
ter session than usual-92 days.
The Appropriation Bill reported less
sum than is common, but it is possible the
additions made may make it large as ever.
The Lawyers in the Senate-who alone
compose almost majority therein-raised
the salaries of the Judges of the Supreme
Court to about $4,000. The House OBJ
jected. The Senate insisted, endangering
the loss of the Appropriation Bill and an
extra session. The House fually yielded,
and thus another step in useless e1trava-
gauce is inaugurated, and next year the
Common Pleas Judges will all demand an
increase of salary because the Supreme
Court Judges have had more.
The Lewisburg Dimes Saving 1nstitu-
tion passed and became law.
The bill to require hucksters in Nor
cumberland and Union to pay alicense,

of tine Supreme Court (Sunbury) passed
in the House, but We are unapprized Of

ty, has been elected by the Republi.

New CoUNTY.-The Legislature carved
a new county, to be called Cameron, on,
Of parts Of MKesu, Potter, Clinton, and
Elk counties, against the earnest protest
of Mr.. Blood, who represents one of the
dismembered counties in the Senate. The
new county is just large enough to come
within the provisions of the Constitution,
and contains q very sparse population, yel
the Governor approved" the bill and
vetoed the Brady township bill, against
the almost unanimous wish Of the people
concerned
The free bank bill has been signed by
the Governor and is now a law.
