LEGISLATIVE MATTERs-UNITED STATES SEN
AToR.
The completion of the election of
United States senator took place irI 1olnt
assembly to-day promptly at twelve
o'clock. as is required by act of congress,
and resulted in the announcement of the
election on the part Of both the senate and
house of representatives of
HON. GEORGE F. EDMrNDs,
result that was well known to your read
ers from the proceedings of yesterday, as
published this morning. A committee,
consisting of Senator Wilson of Orleans
county, Mr.. Smalley of Burlington, and
Mr.. Henry of Chester, was appointed to
wait upon Mr.. Edmunds, inform him of
his election. and ask his presence before
the joint assembly. Mr.. Edmunds
came in and was introduced by President
H,ncklcy, and made brief but very
appropriate speech, thanking the general
assembly for this renewed mark of their
esteem and confidence, and just incident
ally touching upon national affairs, refer
red with pride to the record of Vermont
on questions Of vital importance to the in
teresis of the general government. Mr..
Edmunds was listened to with marked at
tention, the House being unusually still
during his remarks, and at the adjourn
mcnt many members of both the Senate
and House availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity OF an introduction and cordial greet
ing of their old and tried friend and now
newly elected public servant.
The result of the election but verites the
predictions of your correspondent. 1t was
a foregone conclusion from the moment of
the appearance of the unprovokcd attack
by the Caledonian.
BUSINESS.
The morning hour was n busy one for
the introduction of bills; and some of those
introduced are of unusual interest and i'm
portance.
The bill by Mr. Davis of st. Adams pro-
vides for the improvement and identifying
of our highways, by setting out trees, and
deducts from the highway tax the sum of
fifty cents for each person who shall com
ply with the provisions of the bill.
Mr.. Smalley of Burlington introduced a
bill relating to the legal rights of married
women, which provides that they may
hold, sell and carry both real and personal
property the same as though they were I'M
married that they may sue and be sued
and that the property of the husband shall
not be liable for costs in suits brought in
name of tue wife.
Mr. Henry of Chester introduced bill
similar TO a bill introduced in the New
Hampshire Legislature, to place the in
mates of insane asylums under the protec.
ton of the laws, and provides for board
of commissioners to have charge of the in
sane asylum, and the insane. Mr..
Batchcldr of Peru presented a bill for
divorce for drunkenness and continued in
sanity, which the legislature will be very
slow to adopt. Continued drunkenness
be, and is good cause for divorce, bu,
continued insanity is altogether another
thing and should not be just cause fol
a divorce.
Mr.. Dana Of Cornwall, presented new
bill providing for the recovery of damages
from dogs, and incorporates the principal
