Legislative News and Gossip.

The resolve appropriatirg $4,000 iorthe build
ing of new chapel and hall at the Insane llospi-
tai, went through the House yesterday with
snap. Telling speeches were made in its favor by
DIR. Sturgis of Auburn Mr. WhcelwrSht of Ban
gor, DIR. Porter of Newport, Mr.. Cleaves of Port
land and others. The proposition to amend by
substituting $4,000 for $4,000 met with little or
no favor. We rejoice that the measure we have
so long advocated-the building OF chapel and
amusement hall in the rear court Of the present
hospital buildings-is to be made effective, aud
the poor creatures are to have privileges that will
have more salutary effect than all the medicines
Of all the schools.
The military appropriation has been cut down 10
$4,000; that means no encampment this year.
The legislature will probably adjourn to-iay-
what's to hinder
And now the ladies take courage, for they are
in fair way of being granted their full "rights,"
the legislature having conferred upon them the
right to marry, or rather to solemnize marriages,
to take Acknowledgements of deeds, administer
oahs mot to their husbands), &c. That is the en-
tering wedge to granting suffrage. Many ladies'
were present in the House yesterday afternoon
and joined with evident delight in the applause
that followed the announcement of the result.
