DOings at the Capitol.
MADISON, Jan. 20, 1865.


En-. JousSAL II send ven a few notes
from the Capitol, thinking they might be ac-
ceptable to the Family paper.
1t is yet too early for any important legis-
lstiOn. The appointment Of committees by
Speaker BARRON, has compromised most di-
visions, and given general satisfaction.
The three members from the Northwest
went into the sntest for the Spsaker-hip
with spirit, but the gentleman from the shy
perborean regions having the long pole. nee
essarily brought down the per simmons. The
NEST aIuieable feelings now exist between
the four aspirants for this effiee, nd the three
from the Northwest are frequently seen to-
gether. no doubt discussing matters pertain-
ing 70 the industrial interests of the State, or
the welfare Of their Goa stituency.
1t hs. bat recently been impressed upon
the wise heads who congregate each winter
in the rotunda of this legal mandatory. that
iha great aud growing Northwest has rights
that must be respected. Within the last few
ears. the fact has been demonstrated that
Northwestern Wisconsin has agricultural.
commercial and political institutions which
are not 10 be lightly esteemed. Until 1861,
she had Roundered about in the swaddling
clothes of babyhsod. but
since that time she has asserted her strength,
and we new behold another member from
the North filling the chair of "Mr. Speaker"
Nett her House has yet entered upon any
very important legislation. A bill has passed
both Houses for an appropriation of $4,000
fer the erection of temporary build ing and
the immediate wants of the ST ate Rcfurm
School at Waukesha, which was recently
destroyed by fire.
The Commit tee on Charitable and Bcnevo-
lent Institutions wIll make their annual WISH
tttions in few days. leaving here on the
! 18th. The gallant soldier and benevolent
gentleman. Hon. W. A. BUGH, is Chairman
OF the committee.
Tie question of Capital Punishment has
come up in the Senate. aud is likely TO be
thoroughly agita.ed in the Legislat ure am
unable TO understand the necessity for a 7 es-
Grafton of that practice. which is only pre-
nlcditated murder in the first degree
went ever TO the Capitol this afternoon
and sirolled through Tho galleries of Iegisla-
ton. which looked like some banquet hall
deserted. But few members were to be seen.
and they were Longing about " it'll their fa-t
on the desks reading Illustrated newspapers,
the revised statutes. Senator HowEs speech,
and the bills they Lad introduced.
The Senate, as It's name implies. is more
dignified bedy than the Assembly. There
not being SO many of them. they do not make
81 much noise, nor have 70 '.holler" so loud
to BE- heard, % in the other HOUSE. 1t is fun
10 watch some of the new members as they
make their debut in the House. putting on a.
many airs as the floor manager of county
I ala. OF couIse they do net ali act that way
but some Of them have prodigiously over
whelmin ideas Of the cares of State

Billiards.

Eyryboddy seems tsw be getting era
zee over a new game, which has jist bin
diskovred. called billiards.
1t IL played on the top ov label
which IL little longer than It IL square,
and the game seems tsw konslst in push
ing sum round red bswls, until they drop
into some little pudding bags which are
hung on the outside ov the label.
Ii takes men TO play the game, but
4 or 5 kan look on.
They take oph their coats, and stand
clus up tew the label, with short peace
ov n fishpole in their hands, which hsz a
chalk mark on onto the cad ov it.
Then one begins. by giving one ev the
bawls punch in the belly, which sends
it agin the next ones belly, and so on,
till the tother fellsr's tern for punching
comes.
But you ought tcw see the game it
kan, be delineated bi words.
One Teller generally beats the othor
Teller, and then he pays the landlord oy
the euncern 25 cents for the privilege ov
getting beat, and buys sum gin, with
lemmonade in it, and awl hands drink.
Then 9 more takes holt ov the fab
poles, and they punch fer aspeil. and so
it goes till o'clock in the morning {;
then each goes hum. having enjoyed fine
exercise, little drunk perhaps, but the
muscles in THAR breast are SO expanded
that they kant kstch the consumpshum
nor the smaul pox.
This is billiards.

they have been charged such excessive freishtr.
bit they 90 know that they have paid most

Steamboat owners are not supposed to have
lost much s.and that many who have been
connected with the Railways of this State,
