some OF his past political pugstics. We shall see.


The legislature of this State adjourned on the 2lst
instant-the Senate having elected speaker ae-
cording to custom just before the members sePar-
ated. Hon. VIM. Bigler, Of Clearheld county, was
the democratic candidate, and received all the demo-
cratic votes polled, with a single exception-Mr.
Dimmiek, Of Wayne, who, by finally voting with
the wings, and the single native, elected Mr.. Ross,
OF Luzerne county, also a democrat. Mr.. Bgler,
the regular candidate of the party, is young man,
but has made himself highly distinguished repu-
lation for great prudence and skill well excel
lent abilities legislator. Mr.. Ross will, no
doubt, make good speaker but il is TO be regretted
that all our friends did not unite upon the properly
chosen candidate who, besides doing credit TO their
choice, would have been elected as the regularly
nominated candidate. The bill granting the right
Of way through this State TO the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company, passed finally, and Is now
law, having promptly received the signature OF
Gov Skunk. The bill was, however, amended in
very important particular, by providing that If
three millions Of dollars shall be subscribed and
million paid IN to the great central road project, for
a continuous line OF railway between this city and
PitsbuTg, before the LIST Of June ls47, then and in
that case, the bill granting the right Of way through
Pennsylvania TO the Baltimore and Ohio railway TO
be null and void. have not the shadow Of doubt
that this amount will be subscribed and paid in in
this city alone-a large meeting, called for that
purpose few evenings ago at the Museum, having
given very strong and overwhelming expression
In favor OF speedy, prompt, and liberal action. As
many OF the political opponents Of Governor Skunk
had hoped To make the bill granting the right Of way

Business Is recovering from the late puroxysm

affected for day or two past. The notice, no more
the ''war-measure" Of yesterday, is now regarded
as the peaceful and prudent preventive; and the
independent treasury is robbed Of its erors by the
accommodating lnterposition ofthe Senate,

House OF Representatives, Of the independent treas

less of a disposition to rely upon credit, than has

out by the constitution, and urged upon US by

few weeks ago. The truth is, they are all at the

pretend great hopes that the Senate will event

to make it equal to a defeat. At all events, the
House has done its duty in regard to this important
measure, and that too, in the most prompt and i'm.

the responsibility Of disposing of il; and although
many believe 1t is there destined to be defeated, yet


cannot but hope that it will be carried speedily, and
by powerful vote, through that digHifed body.
