ANOTHER EXTRA SEssIoN.-Thc Springfield
correspondent of the Chicago Times says the
probabilities are that another called session OF
the legislature will have to be held The
present lessees of the penitentiary to-day
resigned their positions and formally turned
that institution over to the State. The cause
of this action on the part of the lessees is that
they are losing too much money, and cannot
afford to run the penitentiary at present prices.
Something will have to be done, and done
soon, too The Governor is said to be in a
quandary about this new trouble.

cable last week, was aimed against the car of
| Russia, not Napoleon, who was in the same
| carriage. The assassin is Polish mechanic

native of NOlhynia.s At his examination, when

guest of France, he replied with tears ''True,

the world of the czar, and the car of the re-

oncr showed no sorrow for the crime he bad at
tempted to commit, and only expressed regret
at his failure
The ball struck the head of the horse which
carried one of the imperial grooms riding at
the door Of the royal carriage.
The groom, it seems, observed the menac-
ing movement of the man in the crowd, and
caused his horse to bound forward so as to
place him directly between the assassin and
the sovereigns. The ball passed through the
space formed between Napoleon and one ofthe
grand dukes, son of the car, wounding la

The man attempted to fire second shot, but
this discharge burst the second barrel Ma
pocon has conferred the cross of the legion of
honor on the groom. The people in the crowd
arrested the assassin, and the police interfcred
to save his life, which was threatened by the
enraged populace.
The Gar of Russia on Monday left for
home.
The Fcnian prisoners who were taken at
Dungarvan were identified as Coils Nagle and
Warren, formerly officers in the Irish brigade

All the Fcnian prisoners convicted of high
treason at Dublin have been transferred to Eng

A ''MARE's NEST" DIsCovERED.-The
Washington correspondent Of the New York
World tells the following good story Of a
''mare's nest" which was discovered by the
impeachment Investigation Committee, and
which they explored, with the following result.
He says: "a.
1.-THE Impeachment Committee discovered a
specimen of equine notification in the fact that
the Secretary of State had drawn, with the APP
proval of the President" $106,Gl0 from the "dis-
cretionary fund" annually allotted to his depart
ment. Big with this discovery, the committee
summon Seward into their awful presence, and
demand to know what was done with these
moneys. So much for Fenian trials so much for
apprehension of Surratt, and SO on. $50 far, so
good but all this accounts for only $4,000. VIII
you be good enough TO tell what disposition
was made of the other $4,000 odd" "The--the
other $4,000" retorted Seward, the serene, with
lambert sub.sInile on his countenance, there
being no further use for it, was refunded to the
Treasury Department" CONSERVATION and col

Mexico.

1t turns out that the taking Of Queretaro by
the liberals, about whose terrific fighting, I'M
eXampled bravery, &C., such high sounding
dispatches were published by their generals,
was really accomplished with very little fight
ing, but, like such things generally are in
Mexico, was the result of treachery. The
army of Macmillan was so strong and well
fortified that but for treachery in its own
ranks it could have dcfed q siege for a year,
if necessary. The traitor was Gen Lopez,
who received 5000 gold ounces for letting the
liberals into the city.
If the life of Macmillan is saved he will
owe it to the efforts of an American woman
1t seems, among the more noted prisoners,
included in Maximilian's surrender, is the
celebrated Piussian nobleman, Prince Salm
Salm, who gained no little note in the Union
armies on the Potomac during the rebellion.
His wife is an American lady, it is even said, a
relative of President johnson. On hearing of
her husbands predicament, she fastened to
the headquarters of the liberal general at San
Louis Potosi, to intercede not only for her
husbands lifebut for that of all the Imperial
officers. Theresult of her interview is, that
not only the lie of Macmillan but the lives Of
most of the foreigners in his army will probably
be spared
Macmillan, since his capture has issued an
address, Or proclamation ascribing his mis-
fortunes to tie bad faith of the Emperor
Napoleon andthe hostile feeling OF the L. S.
The tollowingis the text:
"CoUNrHYMlN-Afte the valor and patriot
ism of the republican forces have destroyed my
sceptre in this place, of which tenacious de-
fence was INDISPENSABLE to save the honor of my
cause and of nv race, and after. the bloody siege
in which the iaperal and republican soldiers
have competed in abnegation and boldness, l
will explain myself.
Countrymen. came to Mexico not only ami
mated with the lest faith of insuring the felicity
of all and each d us, but called and protected
by the Emperor # France, Napoleon the Third.
He, to the ridicie of France, abandoned me,
cowardly and nfamously, by demand of the
United States after having uselessly spent
forces and treasure, and shed the blood OF her
sons and Your owl. When the news of my fall
and death reaches Europe, all the monarchs OF
Charlemagne's country will demand of the Ma
polconic dynasty an account of my blood, of the'
German and french blood shed in Mexico.
Then will Napoleon III. be covered with shame

life to the United States, and myself u prisoner
of war in tn, hands Of the republican govern

Legislature.

The legislature of this State, in obedience
to the proclamation of Gov. 'Oglesby, met in
extra session at Springfield on Tuesday of this
week. At the hour appointed for meeting a
quorum was present in both houses, and the
Governor, having been officially notified Of
the fact, sent in his message. Beyond reading
and referring the different portions of the
message to appropriate committees, the pro-
cecdings of Tuesday are without interest
On Wednesday, the House. after disposing
OF one or two local bills embraced in the
Governors proclamation took up, in commit
tee of the whole, the bill to tax the National
Banks. The bill is one carefully prepared by
the Auditor, assisted by the Governor, State
Treasurer and Attorney General, and reported
upon fayorably by a committe of the House.
The bill elected a lengthy discussion, fault
being found with some details, but all profess
ing to be ferociously in favor of the main
object. Without coming to VOTE the House
adjourned to 10 o'clock Thursday.
In the Senate, the only action in reference
to the tax bill was the adoption of a resolution
instructing the Judiciary Committee to report
a bill not only taxing the National Banks for
the future: but for past years The measure
is supported by Mcconnell, Fuller, and others,
all Of whom profess great earnestness in favor
ing taxation of the banks but the way in
which they propose to do it would evidently
defeat that object, as no such bill would stand
the test of the courts, whence they are looked
upon with suspicion as in the interest Of the
Banks. .. t.....r..
On Thursday the first business in the SEN
ate was the passage of the bill to amend the
charter of the Mississippi River & Wis. State
Line r. r. The Judiciary committee then re-
ported the bank tax bill, which was taken up
and without debate passed unanimously. The
bill is substantially the same as that introduc;
eli in the honse. Various messages from the
Governor, appointing different officers, such
as canal commissioners, southern penitentiary
commissioners, &C., were received and laid on
the table, the senate deciding that they had
no power 10 act on these nominations at this
session. Among the canal commissioners sent
in is the name of T. d. Brewster, of this county.
The senate refused to pass the bill to continue
the state agency at Washington as recommend
ed by the Governor. After some other unm-
portant business, at 8 3 o'clock p. NJ, the SEN
ate adjourned sine die.
The House soon after meeting took up the
bill to tax bank shares, and after brief de
bate passed the bill as it came from the SEN
ate. The Hyde Park bill, and the bill to
create criminal court in the city of SPRING
field were rejected. No other important bus
mess was transacted and about o'clock in
the evening the house, in obedience to Joint
resolution previously adopted by both houses,
adjourned sine de-

The Philadelphia Age publishes the following
damning explanation, an extract from the min
utes Of the Committee that investigated the
celebrated Conover case:
"Why,' asked the Judiciary Committee of
VIM. Campbell, Ibid you make this affidavit"
THAT" replied Campbell, will require little
explanation. l was informed by Mr.. Conover
that Judge Holt had offered reward of $780,
600 for the capture of Jefferson Davis that now
Davis was taken, they had not enough against
him to justify them in what they had done
that Judge Holt wanted to get witnesses to
prove that Davis was interested in the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln, SO as to justify him
in paying the reward"

Judicial Elections.

In the Third Grand Division, where the
Republican majorities are so overwhelming in
all the counties, no opposition was made by
the Democrats to any of the judicial candi-
dates the party chose to put in the field In
most cases, however, present incumbents, who
were generally uneyceptonable, were re-elect-
ed without opposition.
In the Second Grand Division the hacks of
The Republican party made fools of themselves
by undertaking to defeat II man like Judge
Walker by party drill The division at the
election last fall gave over 10000 Republican
majority but so little influence had the party
tacticians, and so greatly did they disgust the
people by their party candidates. that Walker,
as Supreme Judge, and Turney, as Supreme
Clerk, both Democrats, were reelected by
over 5000 majority, on a tolerably heavy vote,
considering the circumstances.
1t was, however, only in the First Grand
Division that party lines were really drawn,
and that there was anything like contest

such in that quarter. The Democratic cand
date for Supreme Clerk is elected by som,

dates for Circuit Judges, wherever contes
was made have been elected. The Jonesbor,
Gase.to says: "Radicaism has received
