SPRINGFIELD. juno 81, 1863.
ANOTHER SESSION or TIE LEGISLATURE.
We hare had farce or funeral here to-
daY, In the shape Of q Legislature, consisting
Of s. 4. Buckmaster, Speaker, aud three OF
four others in tho House, and two worthy
members Of The late Senate.
In tho House, Buckmaster took the Chair
md tie Inevitable George Judd was appointed
SergeantratArne. Little Fuller, Of Cook, wa:
chief cook and botue-washer, and Dr. Miller,
Of Logan, dry nurse 10 the concern. Reyes,
one Of the Copperhead family Of this county,
was appointed drummer, but failed to bring
any 1uore mcmbcrs to time than those above
noted.
In the Senate, Knapp, OF this district, aud
Orator Lindsay, from Peoria, composed the
quorum. Lindsay moved that in future the
House consist Of but FIVE aud the Senate Of
hut two members. It was less expensive to
The State, aud less auno, log to the members.
Knapp seconded the motion.
Both Houses sent word to the Governor
that they were in session, and asked 1t ho had
any business to communicate. hare heard
that stDick Yates' sent back message very
similar To that which General Taylor sent
S:uta Anna, when the Inter requested him
to surrender at Bncnl Vieta.
An adjournment was then put and carried
III both Houses, until the first Tuesday after
the first Monday. in January, 1864. This is
nl,out tar time TO which the radical mcubers
Of tie Legislature proposed TO djourn, before
tic Governor old the business fur them, that
they might perfect their schemes to take the
State cut Of the Union.
The main cause OF their farcc Of meeting,
however, IL that the Wabash Railway Com
pany NAV test the validity Of their charter In
lie Coulfs. That the authors Of . scheme
like this, which was "conceiyed in sin aud
brought forth in iuiqui'y," should resort to
any means, however infernul and lerel!sh, TO
carry their, ends, Is not surprising,
IT il supposed that Fuller and Goudy will
now commence work on their road on Wa
basl, ayenue, in Chicago. and that being en-
Joined from carrying on tue aame, they will
takc the question Of the right of The Govern.
or to prorogue the Legislature into the
Courts.
TEE DEMOCRATIC SUBSCRIPTION Fon TIE
SOLDIERS
The Democratic subscription 1or the RELIEF
of the soldiers still laugs lire. Frautin 40.
peals are made privately to the faitnful to
come up and subscribe. I learn that the
amount Of cash subscriptions received on the
ground was even less than that reported. 1t
will not reach, by Ill accounts, five thousand
dol1ais. In the sane time the State Sanitary
Commission. at the head of which is Col.
Williams. Of this city, aud inaugurated BY
noble work. It has already raised over S5O,-
GEO in cash and articles Since the great bat
ties before Vicksburg, it has raised nearly
SIS, 600. The Democratic papers arc appeal.
Ing to Democrats not to subscribe to any OF
the charitable commissions, but to send the
money to John Moore, who will hand II to
George Judd. Moore is to do the respectable
in the concern, while Judd and LanphIer are
the real firm.
