MADISON Wis, March t., 1868,
In the Senate this morning, ten bills were
introduced, and an equal number pissed.
Among the latter Was. one requiring owners
Of thrcshing machines to guard them more
carefully against accidents. After last evcn-
ing's dispatch was sent, Mr.. West cloquently
defended the policy Of President Lincoln, aud
Mr.. Hudd made somewhat flowery speech
on the Democratic side, asserting, however,
that he would assent to no peace, except on
the basis of the Constitution and the rcstora-
ton OF the Union.
This evening the political debate WIS re-
| sumed, the Hopkins representative, with
| much force and clcarness, proving that the
| Democrats were mure responsible for this war
than the Republicans, and showing the wis
dom Of the course pursued by the Govern
! mcnt.
| Mr.. Keogh, Democrat, followed with 4
speech tccming with the yilest abuse Of those
| in autho rity.
In The Assembly, dozen bills were intro
| ducel; among others one amending the Law
concerning the state Reform School. Also
one giving railroad corporations the power to
] borrow money and mortgage on transfer
-~-aa &:c.
Twenty-Five bills passed, including one au
thorizing the investment Of the school fund
in any bonds Of this State, Also one to secure
titles Of real estate By providing for the can
ceiling Of mortgages on the evidence of pay.
| nent Of the note for which II is given.
4 resolution for the sale of the gold in the
State treasury passed. The Senate resolution
in regard to Lambert's elastic tournaquct fol
the use Of the army, WAS concurred in. a
resolution vas adopted, after much debate,
requesting the Governor to communicate any
facts in his possession in relation to the sur.
render Of Holly Springs, by Col. Murphy q
this State. The document thus to be made
public is copy Of Col. Murphy's memoria
to the President, undertaking to show BY
special documents that he was blameless fol
the losses at Holly Springs, and that the re-
sronsibiuty for the disaster rests with supe
rior officers.
Information has been received that the con
tributions from Wisconsin for our soldier:
| down the Mississippi, sent BY Surgeon Gen
Wolcott, amounts to 49, 600 pounds of fruit
vegetables, &c. The Governor appeals 10;
volunteer surgeons to aid in tho care Of sicl
soldiers near Vicksburg.
The resolutions are published from a com
pany of the sth regiment, denouncing th'
editor of the fourier at Prairio du Chen
where the company Was rafsed, TO
| traitorous and slandcrous editorials, de
nying its assertions that the soldier
were mutinous and clamorous 70
peace, endorsing emancipation md declar
ing determination to uphold the Admins
tration against all enemies. The resolution
and letters from our soldiers, denonncin!
trdtors at home, are stimulating Copperhea
