lost heavily on their investments, and
although the roads received lands
enough to build them, still, members
Of the Honorable Senate shifted their
cigars, adjusted their spectacles, looked
over the figures OF the lobbyists, and in
to the faces OF the lobbyists with feel
ings akin to q religious devotee pros
trate before the efligy of the Holy Nir.
GIN, pronounced the House Tax Bill ri
diculous, the House and people ridicu-
lous and interference Ill railroad affairs
generally ridiculous; and, again leaning
upon their Senatorial dignity, they re
fused to accept the increase proposed
by the Committee OF Conference. The
House had the alternative presented
OF agreeing to the Senate amendments
and having no increase whatever; and,
when every motion known to parlia-
mentary usage was exhausted, the
House agreed.
So the Legislature is over for this
session, Oh this subject. The attornies
outside and inside Of the Legislature
admit that the fight has been the hard
est they ever participated in, and If
they give no heed to righteousness nor
temperance, they think seriously of a
judgment to come. 1t is very amusing
to see the leading journals puff legisla.
tors who have not influence enough to
adjourn the House, as being influential
leading wmakers, assuring their con
stituents that they are slngularly for
tunate in having secured the invalua-
bic services of such able men,and pre-
dieting political advancement, while
the wheel horses, sure to tread on nu-
merous toes, are seldom heard of thro'
the press. SPECIAL.
p. ST. forgot to mention an lnc..-
dent that TRANSFERRED on the day the
Capitol Bill passed. Mr.. D.. Of
J County, was known to be de-
cidedly opposed to the bill but was
under the supervision OF the pastor OF
an ancient church. Two mlschievous
opponents of the bill resolved to help
his hesitancy by taking him off to visit
the classic banks of the Coon, during
the roll call. The friends of the bill
smelt mice, and put the Rev. on his
track who freed the Hon. game, tcet-
ering on log in the river, and, bring
ing him back, stood behind his chair
till he responded IN the affirmative.

Mr. EpiroR-Sw:-The tine is now
occupied, TO = considerable extent, in
discussing appropriation bills, and it is
becoming more apparent each year that
the Policy Of the State in scattering her
educational and charitable Institutions,
works evil, and that continually. He
who represents county, having a
school or hospital located there, is sus
I,ccted of being part of some ring, aud
the interest that should tie general in
The welfare OF all tie wards OF the
State, becomes local, and the man, who
unfortunately, has the responsibility
resting upon him Of securing an appro-
4riation, is not as independent; he dare
not tread on any ones toes; he has to
vote for Objectionable measures, and
when he cannot do better, he will
Dodge the question. The most indie
pendent and successful legislators are
those who have no axe to grind.
This General Assembly has submit
red to the next the question OF striking
trsm the constitution the word "Male, y
aid the word white where it pre-.
vents persons of color taking seats in
the Legislature. Although the Dem
ocrats voted for the women, and cack
Led considerably about the Declaration
OF Independence and progression, they
found they were still! in the woods
when the question of color came up
and voted, to man, against the pro-
posed amendment.
The Senate was not content with
Strengthening the tariff bill, but has
amended the House tax bill to such an
extent as to cut it down one-third; this
ahe House refused to agree to; the Sen
ate asked Committee of Conference
which has not yet reported.
The Investigating Committee has re-
ported that rascal, brought here by
Gen. Williamson, offered money to two
Members of the House. The names
Of several other Members arc, also, dis
agreeably alluded to i'll the testimony
Well! they must be more particular il
choosing their company in future, ant
not incur the danger Of being az
preached.
The Des Moines River is on the
rampage south of the State House; i,
is two miles wide and surrounds sever.
VI dwelling houses.
The Members from the grassy dis
tricts are becoming restless. The ad
j"urnmcnt will likely take place OH III.
thirteenth, although a motion has beer
catered to reconsider the vote b,
which it was adopted.
The Capitol bill is very quiet I d
l,ot believe any one can tell how it vii
succeed; at present, it cannot b
reached, being in the class of bills OIL
their third reading which cannot b
taken up out OF order.

well instructed from home and SO we'll
managed here that despite the utmost
efforts of the attorneys the bill passed
by an overwhelming majority, four
fitths OF this tax was to be paid to the
counties through which the roads
PASSED, in proportion to tho number
of miles; House members felt jubilant
over the success and many remarked
that it was very strange indeed why
such step had not been taken by pre-
vious Assemblies. The Senate is a
very different body from the House,
fewer in numbers, elected tor longer
term, farther removed from the people.
They considered themselves justified
in reducing the amount Of tax to be
derived from the House bill one third
and asked committee Of conference,
which falling to agree, another was
asked, which, after repeated meetings,
affected compromise to which the
House agreed, but the Senate stood
upon its dignity, and leaned upon
its friends, the railroad men, and
spoke contcmptuously of the foolish
notions OF the House, and the unen-
lightened demands of the people
They were masters of the situation,
and told the House that they could
have the desired increased railroad
taxation to the extent proposed by the
Senate, not more, and that they, the
Honorable Senators, were very indif

tertained the idea because of the i'm

will compete for it. 1t is an esteemed honor
for any Englishman to win at any time tine

taa ot the New York Va hit Club-from Owls
Head TO the lighlship off Sandy Hook and re-

Yacht America, which originally won the cup,
ind which is now owned by the United States
Government, will again run for the prize, and
for that purp ,se she has been rugged out By

style-maeis, aa,ls and everything-as when
she won the cup nineteen years ago.
