The resolution offered by Mr. Will ccMpn directing the committee on lunatic asylum to enquire into the / ’au9e of the failure of pauper luna tics to obtain admission into the asy lum, and if pay patients are not re ceived to the exclusion of pauper patients, was read the second time and agreed to. Messrs. Harrison, of Quitman, and Furlow, of Sumter, submitted a mi nority report from the special [com mittee on constitutional convention, recommending that the bill reported by the committee do not pass, for they consider the holding of a con vention now as unwise, inexpedient, and that must necessarily result in untold injury to our State and peo ple. Made the special order for Thursday and two hundred copies ordered printed. The House adjourned until 10 a. m. Monday. A French correspondent writes tJaAt when Moltke is offered a pinch of snuff in parliament he snuffs it up nostrils as if he were loading a double barreled gun. What else could you expect of such a fellow. A man has either a long train of antece dents or he has not,and you can’t get of that dilemma. It looks as if the Plymouth breth ern were going to dicipline Henry C. Bowen as they have diciplined Mrs. Emma Moulton. It will be Bowen’s time next to call for a mutual coun | cil. Judge David Davison, of Illinois, seems to be rising into greater and ! greater prominence as a democratic i candidate for president. Special Notices. COLONISTS, EMIGRANTS AND TRAVELERS WESTWARD.
