Committees in the senate-Rumor
OF impeachment Of Judge Hall
The One Term Amcndment-A
Chronic Grumbler.
CHARLESTON, January IS.

No business of interest was transacted
in the Legislature or Convention,
but while in the Senate l stopped
to glance at the list Of standing
committees. The President, Mr..
Sperry, is doubtless a very clever gen
tleman, but his knowledge Of men and
their capabilities certainly does not
amount to prescience. For instance, he
made jolly Tom Kline, OF Cabell,
chairman of the Judiciary committee
thus Summarizing Mr.. Carpcr, the
former chairman. Mr., Carperis pol
ished, scholarly gentleman, close stu
dent, fine constitutional, and statutory
LAWYER, and of fine business qualities
and long experience; while Kline is
one of the best fellows in the world,
jolly, COOL natured and lazy, and
cares more Tor the good things OF life
and Bourbon sour, than anything else
on this mundane sphere.
The new hotel here is rapidly ap.
preaching completion, and even now
has large number Of guests. When
completed it will be equal, if not supe-
rior to any in the State. The rooms
so far as completed, are furnished
elegantly, and no expense has been
spared to make it in all respects first
class.
Rumor has it that Judge Ephraim 3.
Hall is in hot water, and that charges
will be presented against him to the
Legislature looking to his Impeachment.
1t would be hitting him Il very distin-
guisheA rap TO do so, after the active
part he had in the removal OF Judge
Kennedy.
a Joint Resolution was introduced in
the House to-day, in.tructing our Sena-
tors AMI Representatives in Congress to
vote for Sumner S one term amendment,
and, as was expected it raised the war
whoop among the corpOraTs guard OF
radicals who are in that body. Sturgiss
Of Monongalia, the Capt. links of the
House,
Whose mOustache Is so glossy,
Whose whiSlierS are SO nice,
that one is led to believe that he thinks
too much OF his hair to have anything
in his head. jumped to his feet like q
war horse who smells the battle afar off,
and, on his objection, the Resolution
laws over for one day.
Tomorrow Mr.. Campbell, Of Monroe,
will offer a resolution in the House to
adjourn at the end Of thirty days, and
the present prospect is that it will be
passel. Indeed, so far az ! can learn
the interests of the State would not
sutlcr il they should adjourn next week.
Henry j. Fisher, a distinguished
LAWYER, now retired from practice, is in
town, in a state of chronic bad humor
A good story is told of him. lmmeli-
ately after the passage OF fhe Flick
Amendment, Mr. Fisher, who was one
of the newly eniranchised, met friend
and after some conversation said,
Look here! They've enfranChiscl me,
allowed me to practice law and all that
sort of thing, and now whatin HI will
find to grOwl about" am happy 10
say, however, that Othcllo's occupation
is not gone, and that the distinguished
gentleman's tonge is still like two
edged sword.
The proposition to move the Convcn-
ton still sleeps quietly on the Prcsi-
dents table, and the conviction is
gradually becoming fixed that it will
sunbcr there to the end Of the session.
Certain it is, that unless the diverse
interest OF the opposing points can be
compromised, and the influence OF all
united, nothing will be done; and at
present this contamination so devOutly
to be wished, appears to have but little
prospect of success.
neglected to mention last night that
our genial friend, B. 4. Galligan, OF
vour city, was elected Assistant Clerk OF
the Convention. This will be pleasant
news for his friends, and is well
deserved Barney is as social, pleasan,
and handsome as Of yorc, and his ooh
