Judge Mersick gracefully abandoned the

slant. The resolutions, SO amended, have
been ssnt up to the Senate for its concur
renee and have been referred to the FL
nance Committee Of that body. They
will be ND for debate in few days. The
resolutions Of Judge NJ. were obnoxious
to very grave objections. considered in
the light Of initiatory measures to tes.
questions Of law and fact involving IN the
result the very life ola great chartered
incorporated institution. The preamble
assumed that the b. & o r. R. Com
pany had been guilty Of various misu-
sers. although one act only of any
thing ike misuser was even attempted
to be proven against it. to wi:,-the
Withholding Of the one-6fth passenger
money.-and again, after anticipating q
verdict Of guilty in the premises they
prescribed to the Court the sentence to
DO pronounced, to wit,-a forfeiture Of
its chartered life without even benefit
Of clergy. It is not to be wondered al that
Mr.. Garrett entered his protest against
such proceedings; aud, although the
State might be willing, like Abraham Of
old, to sacrifice its ''petted and favored
child" Mr.. Garrett, on part of said child,
declined to be the submissive Isaac of the
day; and. in >thc language Of the vener-
able and very resolute. Pho Mono, bland

What favor the resolution, Is amend
ed, will find in the Senate. it is difficult
to conjecture. They will, l have no
doubt. be subjected to a thorough, =
searching examination, and dispassionate
discussion in all their bearings. It (the
Senate) is an able and conservative BODY
and not disposed to act hastily or PREJUDICE
matters. This was made very apparent
by the failure of Senator Kimmel, some
dan ago. in an attempt to improvi.e .
disc6ss;on on the subject, pending the de-
bate on ''the resolutions" in the House
Of Delegates. He offered a motion, in
view Of the possible forfeiture of the char
ter o. the Baltimore and o. r. r., aud
Swallowed forth. however, disastrous re-
suits coutingen. on dissolution. that they
might and could be guarded against and OBJ
waited. While attacking the b. and o.
r. R., very bitterly (and a. it seemed to
mo very angrily). he expressed the great
%. love and admiration for it. The &C.
we're castigatiou he gave it, was admins
tered in the most parental manner, and
was accompanied with the assurance Of
its being inflicted for its own good, and
that sit would thank him for it the long
est day it lived" The consequences. he
said, attending on sudden death could be
remedied by instantaneous revival, with
the loss, to be sure, Of very valuable pro-
perty at present owned BY it. At pre-
sent, it was . very formidable beast Of
prey, and not at all disposed to doff its
hide. but having suffered death and revi-
val, it could be made q very well-beha-
we'd if not useful sort Of domestic animal.
The Senate, however, did not view the
time as opportune for entertaining the
question as presented b. Mr.. Kimmel.--
Messrs. Carroll, Compton and Clarke OPP
posed the motion with great warmth and
ability, Mr.. Carroll rrsised the far
reaching imagination Of Mr.. K. that
could penetrate into the future with such
precision and then put the pregnant ques-
tion-you who are so anxious to pull
down, are you equally we'll prepared to
build up? The Senate, as / before said /,
declined to entertain the motion. 1t was
lost by vote Of Is to I, the mover alone
voting in the Affirmative. It was . very
tart and lively debate and gave . great
deal Of pleasure to all present.
Mr.. Kimmel expressed himself very
well satisfied with the result. It was not
20 mach pitched battle a an affair Of
outposts, In which oil concerned played
their parts very we'll. and none more to
his own satisfaction than did Mr.. Kim
mel himself. he had fae field for dis
play Of ready and fueot diction-and &C.
ton, rotasory and sheatrical.-at the same
time not devoid Of grace and studied ele-
gance. Ifeel very much indebted to him,
indeed. for that days entertainment.
