anv. pALMRR AND THE RAIDS.

During the debate in the house in regard
to Mr. Lannings motion to print $4,000
copies of Gov. PaImers inaugural, Mr.
Ross, of Fulton, took the floor in favor Of
extending proper legislative courtesy to the
governor, and charged the republicans with
passing by the message, on account Of the
sound democratic doctrines contained in IT,
He wished 10 see that message aud its doc.
,rines read aud recognized everywhere.
Amendments were offered TO add 1900
copies 10 French and 1000 in German,
which Mr.. Lanuing accepted, with the re.
mark that he wished it to be given to the
world in every tongue IN which it could be
read.
The republicans squjrmed a great deal,
and made every effort to cut the number
down but they did not dare to make any
motion to that effect.
The member from Lee wished to know
when the democrats discovered that Gen.
Palmer was tinctured with dis!oyaIty.
Mr.. Merritt Of Marion, responded We
found it out in this last message We waited
two days for the other side to make q mo-
ton to print, but no such motion was heard,
and, approving of the doctrines Of the mes
sage, we we're forced to make the motion.
Mr. Voorhees,, of Shelby, eulogizcd the
message, aud was not afraid to circulate it
among his democratic constituents.
Mr. Kerr, Of Madison republican,, at.
tackled the principle that the federal gov,
eminent is Que Of expressly enumerated
powers.
Mr.. Taylor, of Cook, thoughts was strange
the democrats should support Palmer.
Mr.. Voorhees, said it was because Gov
Palmer was returning to principles Of earIJ
piety. The radicals need not feel jealous
they need not feel afraid that the democrat
would steal their governor. He would sal
that the democrats would take no advantage
Of them; and, unless the governor cam
over of his own accord, the democrats woul
not take him. The democrats would get tn
next governor; Palmers message would Fl
that all right.

these times. A telegram from Springfield

1t is probable that joint resolution will

officer of the senate for the entire season
and Governor Dougherty finds himself with
out any Of these necessary perqujsites
the peuknife, eraser, ink stand, steel pens,
tape, and mucilage being among the miss
ing. 1t is suggested that Senator Wards
glowing biography Of Gov. Bross should be
brought down one day later, in order to en-.

Gen. Grant hos inaugurated the season at
Washington by dinner at his own resi-.
denoe, which came off on Saturday evening,
the 9th, and was an immense social and at.
trsctive affair. Sixteen persons were present,

nell, Il. NJ. Blatehford, Henry D. Cooke and
lady, Congressman Clark aud lady, Column.
bus Delano and lady and ex.COnfederate Gen.
Wickbam. Dinner over, the gentlemen
retired to the library to smoke and talk
The conversation soon turned upon military
matters, suggested by q question of Gen.
WiekhRm to Gen. Grant as to whether the
latter took part in the battle of Palo Alto, in
Mexico. Grant responded that il was his
lot 10 be there, as in all the other battles Of
the campaign. WickhRm related his share
in the Pslo Alto engagement, and both en-.
gagged in comparing notes about SCOTS
successful campaign, fighting each battle
over again to the extreme delight Of the
small audience around them. Gen. Grant
retired few moments from the room, and
in the interval Gen. Wiokhsm suggested
that one Of the party ask Grant, on his re.
turn, something about the famous campaign
in the Wilderness, so that both military men
might enter on familiar ground again. Gen.
Wickham having commanded an important
division in Lees army, and being thorough.
ly acquainted with the points against which
Grant hurled his legions, the conversation
assumed deeply interesting character
When the story reached Appomattox Court
house, both generals shook hands and ex.
pressed a cordial hope that time would |
soon arrive when the soldiers Of either army
would meet in the same spirit of harmonious
and frsternal feeling.
