Tears then would flow down his pallid checks,
and the bursts of anguish and remors.e would
emphatically portray the deep and fearful agi-

‘ ‘My dangliterl my daughter!’ at moments

TUESDAY, June 8.
Resolution for an amendment of the
Constitution, ‘heretofore referred to the
joint committee on the judiciary, was, on
reconsideration, refered to the members of
of that committee on the part of the House.
Bill to amend the l1Sl'lly law was read a

it being the election of a Major General of

lVilcox.

‘ was grateful, and frequent were the expressions
itlie report of the Bank Commissioners, as
|
furnishing good reason for prosecuting the
inquiry.
Mr. Minor of Stamford said the- statis-
tics of the Bank ;Cominissioners ,proved
nothing, for they were not correct. The
‘circulars they sent to the several banks
ias‘-ed for a return of sums due the bank
from persons out of the State, and the
sums thus returned were set down by the
commissioners as loans. One bank which
_the commissioners set down as having
jloans out of the State to more than $100,
000, had, at that time less than $20,000.
lThe committee could not build any con-
iclusions on siichficis as those related by
«the comrnisioners.
Mr. Chapman said that an acceptance of
‘the report would be an acquiescence in
;the opinion that there was not time to
consider the matter. it seemed to be as-
, siinicd that the banks in question would of
course resist the reduction oftlieir capital.
Possibly tliey would be glad to do so. He
had it from excellent authority that the.
President of one. of the banks was not op-
posed to a reduction of capital. Let the
inquiry be mado by all means.
The order of the day was here taken
up—tlic consideration of County appoint-
meats.

iblll, and admitted that it had its imperfec-
tions. It would probably be amended,
and he thought it might be amended to
advantage. He moved to r.ediice the
smount of the adjutant general’s bond to
$10,000. Carried.
He then remarked on the importance of
the system. It was now unpopular and
means should be ta'en to reorganize it

tion inclusive, and offered a substitute.

bal amendments were adopted. He then

increased quantity of Com planted this
year. The prospect that lndian meal will
be introduced as a common article offood
in Europe has induced farmers to plant all
the land they could spare for that purpose.
One farmer in Ferintoii who never, in for
mer years, planted over twelve acres, has
this year planted forty. Another, in the
same neighborhood, has put in 70 acres,
or about five times his usual quantity. VVe
are told that the same proportion will hold
good in various parts of the country.
