from Bu'ler) moved the appointment of a
committee to investigate aud report upon
the claiu-s of the several charitable iusti-
tulions asking aid annually from the
State. 1t is the opinion Of many that
there is carelessness in these sppropria-
tions, and tbat-while it is well to aid in
the starting Of these ins,itutions-they
are such as should soon become self-sus-
tanning. Messrs. M'Cand.ess, Stein, and
White were appointed Committee to in
ves'igate such institutions.
Messrs. Clymer and Lamberton pre-.
sented a minority report from the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, in favor of a
national convention to amend the consti.
tu'ion. The report was referred to the
committee again, where it will repose.
WEDNESDAY, April 8.
One hundred guns were fred this NOR
ming in honor of the Connecticut Election,
and of the municipal elections in the
West. They only show that where the
Unlonists WORK aud TRY they carry
the day. The people are right a. heart,
and only need to know the Truth, to vote
Right.
A bin has passed allowing the Direc-
tors or 30 stockholders, representing one
fifth of the stock of the Bank of Nortbum-
berland, to bold an election TO decide the
question, by maj 'rity of the shares
voted on, for or against removing that
Bank to Sunbury.
The Senate, on Tuesday, passed bill
to prevent coal ard iron dealers from
paying workmen in store orders. Should
it pass the House, its provisions will re.
ceive a close consideration, for it is puteD-
tial in its Requirements, or 1t is nothing.
There were railway accidents on the
railway through Lancaster, and that
tarough Reading, Saturday last, doing
much damage, happily wlrhOu. loss Of life
or limb, but with some remarkable escapes
some of them quite laughable when the
dagger was over.
.Saair Both Houses to-day Ere, called
from the Governor" the bill to allow O
vote upon removing the Northumberland
Bank over to Sunbury. Senator Bucher
of Cumberland said be had voted under
the impression that it was the newer
"Bank of Nortbumberl land County," at
Shamokin, when be voted for the bill. A
formed institution like that,
might perhaps be advantageously changed;
but many seem to thiuk one which has
been SO long and honorably conducted,
should not be disturbed, especially as the
distance of a mile or two Was but small
gain to any interest affected.
Mr.. Brown (Northumb berland Co. has
into the House bill to incor.
pora,e Company to make turnpike
from the Lewisburg Bridge to the Rail
road Depo. in Chillisquaque-a spot Of
road in which half Of Union county have
more or less interest, sometimes a very
Reep interest. 1t is extremely desirable it
should be accomplished.
To day, over l20 bills came before the
Senate, half from its own COMMITTEES, and
half from the House-many of the former
reported with recommendation that they
be negatived.
Boom The Jersey Shore Boom bill
came up again. Mr.. Jobuson said, that,
with a sincere desire to reconcile the int.
res's of his constituents, at both Jersey
Shore aud Williamsport, be offered Ger.
ain amendments, which, he thought,
would be satisfactory to those who contest
ID the favor asked for, and should be a,cep-
able to its friends. Mr.. Bound opposed
hem, as too much damaging the Act.
,lr. Wallace, Of Clearfeld, opposed the
whole policy of booms. Mr.. Wilson, of
rioga, would not vote for the bill, if
coupled with an amendment that he !
bought, would make it less Questionable
o his constituents, SO that those who .
bought proper could float down logs or
ats without their being stopped. The
mendments of Messrs. johnson aud Will
on we're all voted down. Mr.. White, of
indiana, also spoke with much feeling in
,vor of giving tie hardy laborers all over
be forest regions, the chance of reaping
he best rewards for their toll, rather
IAN capital should absorb the whole lum'
er trade. On the motion to pass the
ill, it was rather Unexpectedly lost
eas II, Nays II.
A bill presented by Mr.. Wilson, repeal.
g a bill urged through some weeks since
? Mr.. Wallace, was taken up aud passed
was a manly trial of strength and skill.
There are too many bills pushed through
i,bout the proper attention of Senators }
In the House, this evening, Judge
,auuou, of Pittsburg, held spell bound
r three hours, crowded audience (ladies {
owding Members out Of their seats) 10
iliani speech on the state of the country.
