was resolved that the Committee on Post

inquire into the propriety Of establishing

Mr.. Morris presented resolutions from

the payment, and collect the same according
to its own laws and by its own officers.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.

From the report Of the Legislative pro-
ceedings, as published in the Daily Record,
We CLEAN the following synopsis of their
doings.
Mr.. Sleeper offered a resolution recon-
mending General Lane to the President Of
the United States as a suitable person to be
commissioned Major General, and asking
that he be assigned to the command of the
proposed Southern expedition. 1t passed
By vote of twelve to six. A resolution to
the same effect passed the House by vote
of from sixty to seven.
A concurrent resolution has been intro
duced recommending the appointment of a
select committee to investigate the action
Of the Auditor and Secretary of State in
relation to the sale of bonds, and be au-
thorized to take such legal steps as they
may deem necessary to secure the State
against losses. The rules were suspended,
and the resolution passed unanimously.
|
A committee has been appointed to in
quirc into the expenses Of the House, with
a view to retrcDchment.
We are truly glad to note the introduc-
ton of just and wholesome bill regulating
the sale of intoxicating liquors. 1t is ex-
ceedingly stringent in its provisions, and
it should be the prayer of all good citizens
that it may become law without dissent
ing voice. The Topeka Tribune says (:
"Voters citizens! see that this law does
not become dead letter upon our statute
books. And to the rum sellers we would
say, if you cannot carry on this damnablc
trade without trampling upon the laws of
your State. forsake the business, and may
God have mercy On your soul.''
An act to legalize the assessment of
Davis county has passed the House, and
will no doubt pass the Senate.
The Senate has been of late engaged in
the contested scat case of Stevens and Speer
1t has not yet been decided. Our towns
man, Mr. McBratney, is attorney for Speer.
All the evidence go to show the existence
of more consummate set of rascals in Law
renee than ever stuffed baliot-boxes during
the reign of Border Ruflianism.

ton With Mr.. Conway, Of Kansas, that he
