The Legislature has been In session

have yet noted nothing Of very especial

few bills have been put upon their pas.

nal, than to any other cause. The char.
ter cannot, in our opinion, be repealed
on account Of legal obstacles.
The Bill to establish the Superior
Court, is pending yet The measure is
of greater Importance to the people Of
Kentucky, than any which has been he
fore the people for several years, not
excepting the Conventional interest bill.
II is proposed that its jurisdiction be FIX
ed at from fifty to three hundred dollars.
The term Of Office Of its Judges is fixed
at six years, and until their successors
be duly qualified. Appeals to the Court
of Appeals shall be granted as q matter
of right in all cases, except for the
recovery Of money or personal property
when the matter in controversy is less
than three hundred dollars. There is at
the present time an animated discussion
going on over the proposition to make the
judges Of the Office elective by the people.
The Legislature is just getting its
working harness ON. The local bills
which have been introduced exceed those
ola general nature in the usually large
proportion. We cannot yet CLEAN much
Of interest to our readers from the pro-
ceedings; but as the Session progresses,
we promise to lay before our readers a
syllabus of all that is of either special or
general interest to them.
