the Louisville Democrat says that Governor
Bramlette has sent in his approval of the bill
repeating the cXpatriatiOn act, and adds
This was not looked for. II seemed gene
rally understood that he would return the bill
with his veto. He had mtimatcd rs much 10
members. Be it said 10 his credit that upon
looking into the matter and carefully consider
ing it, he became convinced of the propriety
of the repeal, if not of the unconstitutonality
of the act
The Governor has a clear head, and upon the
sober second thought generally arrives at
correct conclusions and we will do him the
Justice TO say that we do not doubt but that
he always acts from his honest convictions of

Upon the announcement of his approval he
was greeted by an involuntary round of APP
plauSe by the House.
The work of res storing the State 10 the old
order of things goes bravely on. There Will
very soon be no evidences of the terrible war
through which we have passed upon the sta :
tute books. Let everything be forgiven and
forgotten which is unpleasant.
