My Dear Post: The bill providing for the elec* ion of Judges of the different Courts in this Com* monwealth, passed finally this morning in Senate, and having previously passed the House, it wiU become a law by the signature of the GoVr ernor. Contested elections under this law are to be conducted before the Supreme Court, in cases where the election was for a Judge of that Court, and by the Court of Quarter Sessions, with three Judges on the bench, when the election is for a District Judge. A bill for the incorporation of the Anthracite Bank, at Tamaqua, was called up in the Senate, and fell by a tie vote; but the vote was afterwards reconsidered, and will probably pass the Senate. A large number of private local bills have been passed in the Senate to-day, but none of them have any character orimportance above a turn* pike road company or a fomale academy. By the way, a bill divorcing John Savery.Esq., from his wire,passed the House this morning, and having previously passed the Senate, it will be* come a law, and let them loose agaim Both par* ties were applicants for this bill of divorcement* no opposition was made to its passage, and no] difficulty attended it. How pleasant it is for man i and wife to agree! The House has been engaged nearly all day discussing the provisions of the Appropriation bill giving counsel fees to James Fox and R. D. McAlister. Esqs., in certain cases where the Com* inonwealth has, aa is alleged, received extraordi* nary services at the hands of these gentlemen.— Mr. Fox, it appears, will be ruled out of Ins claim | by the extraordinary conduct of the member from Dauphin, who was also concerned as counsel in one of these cases j and it is thought, and said openly, that he there engendered a feeling against Mr Fox, a brother member of the Dauphin Bar, and belonging to the same party in politics, which he has carried into his seat in the Legislature, and indulged against the claim. The closing argument which Mr. Fox made in this case was characterized in the discussion to day, by Mr. Kiilmger, as one of the moßt eloquent | and powerful efforts ever heard in Dauphin county, | and to the truth of this statement your humbU I correspondent can attest, having heard it all.— This speech was thought at the lime to have se* cured the conviction of Joseph Meliken, for burn* ing the Clark's Ferry Bridge, belonging to the I State. x Mr McAlister, who was engaged in this prose* I ■cation with Mr. Fox, is to be allowed §2OO for 1 : bis services id this case, and m the other, to wit.l 1 the Com w. MCook, for an attempt to bribe a! I member of the Legislature. It would appear that I if fees were allowed to one of these gentlemeo, J I the other should receive them. And if it be true 1 that Mr. Kunkel, through any personal feeling, | has been impelled to defeat the one and favor the! other, it will certainly furnish evidence that there I might have been no injustice in the charge made | I against him some days ago, relative to his person-1 al interest and feeling at counsel m the Legislature j for the Central Railroad. This charge was brought against him m the House on account of his oppo- I sition to the appropriation for the completion of j j the Western Reservoir and alleging: that the ca-1 nals would probably soon be abandoned on ac* i I count of the effect of the Railroad on Us banks; and certainly if this personal feeling agoiiut a brother at the Bar could he the cause ot his course In the one case, the feeling charged upon him m the other may have been brought to bear upon his conduct as a Legislator.
