and passed into rremediable oblivion. Such will
be the pirhy record of the coming historian.


The Senate are playing a curious game in rela-
ton to the Constitutional amendments which were
solenlnly sent themb By the Assembly. wrote you in
my last that though the Argus professed to chuck!e
hugely over their passage in the lower House, yet
that passage was effected BY the Radicals, despite
the votes and speeches of the ''OId Hunkers" pro-
! per. The extraordinary movements in the Senate
show the true ground occupied by the cold Re-
gency" Senator FOSTER, the leader Of this wing
of the "Democracy by species OF Parliamentary

truly. But so far, Senator FOSTER Il Co. have
proved inexorabe. The talisInanic number OF ser-
| enteen votes-a majority of the whole Senate-hav-

finite result. They appear fear direct and final
vote after all Should the great ship OF Humbug
miss stays it would be a sad mishap Meanwhile
the two factions are growing and swapping at each
other with most excessive un-amablllty.


The License Law has not been again reached
The grab game as the process o! Legislation up
on motion days-Tuesdavs and Fridays-is very ap-
propriatey termed, so blocks up the regular busi-
ness oflegs!ation that tits extremely uncertain when
this important measure will again come up. fierce
and growing opposition is anticipated, and fear
much that in the whirl and confusion, incident upon
suchlegslatiOna as may be expected nl the close OF
the Session. this subject, vitality affecting the Gear
est interest of so many thousands, will be entirely
submerged. That other great question OF moral pu-
ritv and outraged humanity, the bill TO punish LII
centousness, will receive the go-by entirely. Every
proposition to bring the law reported or any other,
up tor favorable action, is sneered at by the makers
OF our laws Too well is the reson known here. Re-
spect for decency and the sensibi!itv OF your read
ers, torbids my mentioning uhat that reason is. 1t
would be sad one indeed to render to the Searcher
Of Hearts at the day of final reckoning.

very able report submitted yesterday in

very elaborately discussed. They are great-in
some cases, insuppor,able-but as long as The pre-

legal rg hts to their full extent all hope of remedy
is vain. The sacredness OF contracts, knowingly
entered into, however iniqultous may be their pro-

from interfering. But hope like evils may be
