Capae0i Notes.
Yesterday the Senate resolved to recall
the resolution sent to the House asking for
the return of the two Senate bills repeating
the charters of the Montpelier Association.
The effect of this action is to let these bills
remain with the House, where the whole
subject can be considered. It is due to Sen.
ator Smith, of Nelson, to state that in the
debate about the Montpelier Association he
favored and invited "all legal and proper in
yestigatloas," but insisted that the General
Assembly had no authority to look into the
affairs OF any incorporated company in which
the State was not concerned pecuniarily.
The courts alone, he held, had such power.
He also argued that the repeal of the bills in
question did not in any degree preclude any
action against the Association, whether civil
or criminal.
The House yesterday, on motion Of MIR.
Massie, adopted a resolution authorizing the
appointment of special committee to in.
vestigate the alleged fleeing of Delegate
FowIe by George Stevens. It is expected

public.
MIR, Clark announced in the Senate yester.
day that General Stuart's brother was in the
city, and bad said that he felt gratitied at the

to attend to that very business. The bill
will be amended In the House so as to strike
out General Stusrt's name. The Council OF
Richmond no doubt feels somewh hat ashamed
of the way in which they have behaved to
Mrs. Stuart about this matter, as by solemn
agreement they undertook to erect monu.
meat over General Stuart's grave.
