two negative votes. and viii probably pass
the House, providing that hereafter when
the receipts Of the State Treasury, exclusive
OF the sinking fund, shall not be sufficient
to pay current aud ordinary expenses, it
shall be lawful for the State Treasurer to
devote such funds az may be in the sinking
fund other than those placed there by the
Constitution to the payment Of such ex-
penses, and that the decisions Of the Su-
preme Court requiring payment Of the iu-
teress ou the State debt contracted prior to
1862, in gold is the supreme Law Of the land,
anything in the laws of Pennsylvania to the
contrary notwithstanding The Commis-
sjoners Of the sinking fund are also required
to purchase for redemption such amounts Of
State loans, or certificates of indebtedness
as the condition of the sinking fund may
justify purchasing such loans as first fan due

House BY large majority. The iatouess
of the session before it was reached pre-
vented the full and fair discussion to which
the measure was entitled, and no doubt con
tributed much to its defeat The heavy

HAsTY LEGISLATION.
A. che session Is about to close legislation
is put through vith celerity that is mar
velous. In most cases the titles only ofbills
are read, and they are sent killing through
without SO much as an examination by
committee. Were Il not for the check Of
the Executive veto, the character of the
legislation engralted upon the laws Of the
Commonwealth would often be of a most
outrageous description During the last
days Of the session the Legislature sonda to
the Governor mass Of bills to pass upon ct
I'll characters and kinds sufficient in number
to give him almost constant employment
during the remainder Of the year in their
examination. The present year more than
ever demonstrates the necessity Of con
stituiional provision prohibiting the passage
Of local hills when a general one can be
framed 70 meet the requirements
TUE GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL
has passed both branches Of the Legislature
aud is now IN the hands of conference com
uittec Of the two Houses. The Senate has
quite materially reduced the bill from what
It was when it rassed the other House, and
if the conference committee perform their
work properly she appropriations made the
present session viii probably be much more
satisfactory to the people generally than
those made for some years past
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
of the Senate have as yet made no report Of
the results Of their investigations into the
affairs of the State Treasury. They viii
likely make a report the FIRST Of next week,
but as the facts developed in the investiga-
ton have been very thoroughly discussed
alread. What the committee may have to
say win make but little difference to oangbody.
The whole thing has been a stupendous
farce from begiuDirg to end, and has been
generally 50 regarded, although it is said
that some members Of the committee fail
to see its absurdity.

recent election in New Hai~nshif'

all its harpies. But it will not do.
