Legislative Discussions.

Mr. Mead of Randolph introduced a
bill early in the session, entitled ian act
to assist INDECENT young men and wo-
men to qualify themselves for the pro-
fession of teaching in the common
schools within this State" providing
that the sum OF fifteen hundred dollars
be appropriated for the purpose of as
sisting such INDECENT young men and
women, inhabitants OF this State, who
may desire to more perfectly qualify
themselves for the office of teaching, by
attending Normal Schools within this
State; five hundred to be paid to each
OF the Normal Schools, located at Ran
dolph, johnson and Castleton. On
Wednesday last the bill was taken up
as special order, and the following dis
cussion took place, and the bill finally
passed by vote of 176 to 30:
Mr. Bullard of New Haven said he
could not concur with the other men,
bers Of the committee in recommending
this bill. He regarded it as an unneCes-
sary drain upon the treasury OF the
State. There are other schools in the
State that furnish teachers besides the
ones at Randolph, Johnson aud Castle
ton, and he thought we ought not to
discriminate in favor Of these schools.
He knew there was great cry for bet
ter teachers; but he believed if teachers
were imported from New Jerusalem"
we should still have the same cry. He
thought it was an unnecessary expense
to the State and he could net allow il
to pass without protesting against it.
Mr. Mead of Randolph said this vas

with opposition. But the bill was
passed, with no grant of money, until
the experiment had been tried. II had
been tried and proved success, and
now these schools ask the moderate ap.
preparation of $500 each to enable them
to carry out the objects Of the act OF
| last year. We do not object to large
expense for an ovation to Gen. Sheridan :

are in such circumstances (indigent
and deserving; disagreed to.
Mr. Bullard of New Haven, said there
were other schools in the State that con-
tributed largely to the education OF
teachers; and that II this bill should
pass, he hoped that it would be amended
so that like sum would be appropriated
TO one school in each county. This he
thought would be extending the aid OF
the state in manner that would make
its provisions more equal to all the peo-
pie OF the State. (Mr B was not under.
stood as proposing the amendment but
only suggested it,
Mr. Hall OF Groton, said that the ad.
vantages Of these schools would be
greater to those In the immediate vicin-
ity OF them; and before he could vote
on the bill, he wished to know how much
the people in the immediate vicinity Of
them had done for them.
Mr. Cristie of Johnson said his town
had expended 10000, and shut the doors
of the school against large class of
young men that desired to prepare them
selves for college, and turned the school
entirely into the hands Of the board Of
education.
Mr. Mead Of Randolph, said that ma
jority of those who attended school at
Randolph last term, boarded themselves
at an expense of not more than one dol
lar per week, and If the State would
grant the aid asked in this bill, it would
be great benefit to a class of deserving
young men and women.
Mr. Howe of Castleton, demanded the
yeas and nays, which were taken and
were as follows:-
Yeas l76, Nays 80; so the bill was
passed.

E<g Stanberry argues against the con-
stitutionality OF the first session OF the
Fortieth Congress. The point in brief
is that the Constitution provides for but
two meetings of Congress, and that the
day OF meeting shall be on the first
Monday in December in each year, un-
less Congress shall by Jaw appoint q
different day. Mr.. stanberry argues
that Congress did not appoints different
day, but authorized an additional ses-
sion, which it had no constitutional
right to do. The best lawyers in Wash.
ington do not agree with him.

AN INTERESTING CAsB.-Mr. Seward
has referred to the Attorney, General a
new and interesting question, arising
under the Emancipation amendment to
the Constitution. It appears that the
captain Of a British vessel recently
brought into the port Of Key West, Flor.
ida, three black sailors, whereupon the
local authorities indicted him under the
State laws, which prohibit the importa-
tion or emigration OF free negroes. The
captain appealed to Mr.. Ford, Charge
d'Afairs for Great Britain, who imme-
diately addressed note to Secretary
Seward. Pending the action of the At
torney.General proceedings against the
British captain have been stopped.

An IMPORTANT TREArY.-The Journals
correspondent gives the following par
t~iculars concerning an important treaty
submitted to the Senate on Saturday
last
The treaty with Russia by which the
United States will obtain Itaska, al
though Of great Importance to the Pa
cific coast States, is eelipsed in a com
mercial point Of view by another treaty
which has been negotiated with the
Sandwich Islands. 1t establishes com
mercial reciprocity with that common
centre Of the greatewhaling grounds Of
the Pacific ocean and will insure to the
States Of the Pacific coast supplies Of
sugar, molasses, coffee, meat vegetables
and other articles Of domestic produce
at lower rates. Statistics have been
collected which show the great import
ance Of this treaty commercially. Po-
~litically it ends the contest which has
been for some years carried on through
missionaries and other agencies for the
control Of the Sandwich Islands by the
United States, France and Great Bri-
tain. American diplomacy has again
triumphed. Commercial reciprocity
with the Sandwich Islands has for some
years been demanded by the inhGbi-
tants Of the States on the Pacific coast,
and it 50 happened that Mr.. McCook,
sent out TO negotiate the treaty, met at
San Francisco an envoy from the King
Of the Sandwich Islands, bound hither
on a similar errand, and the treaty was
negotiated in San Francisco. There are
ten months allowed for It's ratification.

DEAR JOURNAL
My last letter from the Steamer Cuba,
was mailed at Queenstown, at which
place we arrived about five II. M Thurs
day, the 9th ult, the 9Th day out.
Nothing out Of the usual order of things
occurred on board. Charlie, as well as
all the rest, was delighted to see land,
as we came in sight Of a point Of old
Ireland some fifty miles out from
Queenstown, and as we approached this
point, we see a tower upon a high rock,
which is a telegraph stataion, Here we
swing up flags and signals indicating
tho mann Of the ship, and fire a gun.
In o few moments after the news OF our
arrival is in Liverpool, London and
America. At Queenstown, a small town
below the city of Cork, we landed 35
passengers and 70bags Of mails. Those
wishing to visit Ireland and Scotland
first, go off here always, and the mails
were taken across the channel and
thence by Rail Road to London and
Liverpool, and arrive a few hours in adj
vance Of us. From Queenstown~we are
about 20 hours ride from Liverpool
The days and nights were calm, the sea

clear and beautiful, aud the scenery all
along up the English Channel vas inter-
esting, and in some places where we
neared land we could see men and ami
mails moving about, oil Of which afford
cd amusement for the passengers on
deck.
We arrived at Liverpool about 8 PM,
Friday, making passage from Boston

Of the Seminary, instead Of at the Congreg itional
Church, as heretofore. The tasteful decoration Of
the Chapel, the pleasing variety Of the exercises.
and The care and propriety with which they weFi

gratifying to the audience than they would have
