says rumor prevails there that Gen.

Gov. PALMER gives the Peoria peo-
pie small encouragement in regard to
the removal Of the capital. On this
subject he says that he does not think
there is any disposition on the part of
any considerable portion Of the people
of the State t. suspend the work on the
new State House to await the result of
the contest for the removal of the cap
ital-that the people generally feel but
little interest in the disputes that have
arisen-that Springfield is geographi-
cally very nearly the centre of the
State, and that while there are many
places in the State that offer nearly
equal advantages for the location of the
seat Of government, it cannot be sup
posed that the people will consent to
waste the millions Of dollars expended
and the four years of time already con
sumed in the prosecution Of the present
building, without the slightest hope o.
advantage. Gov. Palmer also fuIthel
says that it seems to him that the posi-
tive acts Of two General Assemblies
and the votes of the people on the new
constitution leave no reasonable grount
for further controversy, and that the
people Of the State ought not now tc
be forced into a pro6tless dispute which
can leave nothing behind but smolder
ing passions and unsatis6ed resentments
and that if the question Of the re
moval of the capital is to be considered
an open one, other towns and cities viii
be tempted to make offers of none.

have done, and that the excitement viii

interests.

Gov. PALMER's message to the called
session of the Legislature is Of consider
able length, and is a review Of his reasons
for convening that body. The following
is telegraphic synopsis of the message
Provision must be made by law for the
payment Of compensation of officers and
members of the Assembly. The necessity
Of regulating fees aud salaries is also
pointed out, especially of the compensa-
ton of Judges. He favors the total
abolition of the fee system, and the sub
stitution OF fixed salaries for all. 1t
would simplify litigation and remove
many wrongs of the present system. As
regards the Penitentiary he believes the
only plan is TO retain control and
lease the labor, and hopes the Senate
bill will pass. Nothing has modified
h IS general opinions on the subject ex-
pressed in his former message. He calls
attention TO the cutting of stone for the
State House, which gives steady employ
ment to.one-fourth Of the convicts, while,
to suspend work, would leave them COM
paratively idle. He does not believe any
Penitentiary officer has intentionally done
wrong, but wants an investigation made.
He was unable to get the proper person to
make investigation. The necessity Of an
Eminent Domain law is insisted on, es-
pecially in case Of injuries inflicted by the
opening Of streets.
Nor does he believe that opposition,
however formidable, will relieve him from
calling attention to the State House. He
believes it clear that the public interest:
demands that the work should be carried
on. He believes there is no disposition on
the part Of any large part of the people to
suspend work on the State House to await
the result of the contest or waste o
money. Sringfeld is good centre, with
railroad communications. The people ol
Sangamon claim that they have expended
money and have claims on the State. u
it were made an open question it would
create great excitement over the State TO
the prejudices of all other public interests.
No practice is more vicious than except
ing presents from cities. He has been
able TO a nd no fault in the work.
The Importance of action on tho reven-
ne question is also mentioned.
While not personally aware of the ne
cesslty for parks, yet he finds demand
for legislation on this subject, and, there
fore, includes them. As regards the bills
he has vetoed, he is uncertain whether
they can be properly acted on or not. He
refers to the provision in the Indiana
State Constitution, from which ours is
copied, and devotes some space TO an ex-
animation Of the subject.

Cooke was laid up. The theatre that
night was crowded, and at 7 o'clock the
manager came forward to apologize, stat
ing that, with the consent of the audi.

with farce. He had sent in differ.
ent directions, but was unable to find
Mr.. Cooke in the city. He presumed the
tragedian would be forthcoming in thu

wished to see him in the green-room. HI
found the boy, who presented a note writ
