Works consist Of the Governor, Audi
~, Treasurer, Superintendent Of Free
Schools snd Attorney General, instead
# the three first named as now pro.
,,dsd bv law, became an act on yester
dsr. This lessons the power Of Gov
amor Jacob in the Board, and is very
,ood move. The bill was introduced
: the House several weeks since by
Mr. Knots. OF Marion.
The bill to organize the Circuit Courts,
establish their jurisdiction, &C., has

nolds offered the following:

mit,ee inquire into the expediepcy OF
20 arranging the calendar Tor judicial
purposes "a 10 include two additional
months to the year, so as to make it
possible to hold the ak terms Of the
Circuit Sourt now being, provided for in
Senate Bill No. SO, go that every sixth

o. every seventh. ss was the custom
under the old Jewish dispensation.
Objected to by Mr.. Morrison. and
lsvs over
Mr.. Smith offered the following:
Ryolvci That the Committee on
Arts Sciences, &c, be requested. If
deemed expedlent, to report 3 bill
Commanding the Adjutaut General Of
this State, or the person performing the
duties Of such office, to procure suffi-
cient number of shoulder straps and
other paraphernslis as is necessary and
furnish the same to Overseers Of the
Poor, Surveyors Of Roads, Constables
and Justices OF the Peace, to be worn
by them when in the line of duty.
The resolution was rejected.
What can be the motive Of the
minority 10 offering these "piddling"
resolutions, passes my comprehension.
They complain of "time wasted" and
they nearly every day consume time
worth hundreds Of dollars to the people
Of the State, in offering and consider
ing fippsnt and foolish resolutions of
this kind
The Legislature on Yesterday passed
joint resolution providing for recess
from the 2lst instant. until the 10th OF
next January
1t was passed in the House by the
following vote.
The yeas were-Messrs. Miller,
(Spssker) Baker, Barrett, Bumgsrner,
Butcher, Clendemim, Crow, Davenport,
Davis, Desver, Jr. Fsrnsworth, Fisher,
Fleming, Flowers, Foley. Gwinn, Hinch-
man, Hively. Hudson, Hullihen, John
san, Knots (of Calhoun), Knots (of
Msrion,) Legg, Mcmillan, Miller, (of
Fayette) Monroe, Morrison, Potter,
Prince, Robinson. Ruckmsn, Shirley,

son, Totten, Triplett, Vinson, Withrow
and Wooddell-45.

The Senate vote stood as follows:
The syes were-Messrs. johnson
lPresidanO Bennett, Bishop, Blakemore,

aid, McClaskey, Shelton, Sherwood,
Summers, Vswter and Wilkenson-l7.
The noes were-Messrs Camden,
Dickinson. Guston, Hall, (of Wetzel,)
Price, Scott and Walker.
1t will be seen by the above that q
number Of Republicans voted for the
measure in both Houses. The recess
was thought necessary, in order to al
low the members to consult their con-
Nltutents on important measures, and
hence was passed. suppose there
will be the customary howl from the Re-
publican press on the expense OF the
recess. But whilst there may be some
expense connected with it. it lie justified
BY the expedition that will attend bust
meas after the members have had op-
portunity TO consult their people, on
'ne various measures OF importance
now before the Legislature.
The Capital bill rests in the hands
Of the Judiciary Committee in the Sen
Neuntll after the recess. In converse.
'on with member of that Committee
and a prominent friend of removal, he
informed me ths. the friends OF thu
OIL though; this pol tic, in order to al
10" the Eastern Panhandle members tt
receive instructions from their constit'
uency. | think, however, that the bill
aonld have passed the senate, and tina
toe acton, although from no intentiona
oeieIlctlon on the part of its frierds, II
uniavorsble to removal.
Will write you again Tomorrow.
