Pknt. The tcsolulioni lo refer Ihe
question of a prohibitory liquor law lo a vole
or the people, came op in order.
On the question of taking tip the resold
lions, ihe jrena and naya were railed, and
wen as follows t
Yea. Messrs. Barnes, Cnroihers, Ciabb,

O'Neill, 13.
' So the qnestjon was determined in the nf-
nrmatire.
Mr. .Quiggle took the floor and addressed
-Ihe Senate in favor of the resolutions. He
argued the constitutional question involved
, at some length, confining his remarks en
tirely to this noint. Ho said, when these
resolutions were under consideration in com
, mllfee of the whole on last Tuesday, the
Senator from Columbia (Mi. Buckalew ) de
nominated them an indictment against the
Constitution. He (Mr. Quiggle) supposed
the Senator predicted his judgment on this
question upon the provisions of our State
Constitution which declares that the Irgisla
live power of Ihis Commonwealth' -shall be
vested in the General Assembly, &o. He
said he was aware of this provision of the I
Constitution, and he was also aware of the
decision of Ihe Supreme Court of this slate,
in 8 Barr, Parker vs. the Commonwealth.
He explained the character of the act of As
sembly, on which that decision wis mnde.
But ha contended even the principle of that
case was overruled In the case of the erec
tion or a new township in Lebanon county,
8 Barr, 391. And since that decision the
legislative power on the subject of a refer
ence of questions to a voto of Ihe people,
has been fuily settled in 10 Barr, 214. He
also cited numerous instances of submitting
questions to the people, the constitutionality
of which had never been disputed. When
ho concluded.
Mr. Crabb moved to postpone the further
consideration of the bill for the present, lor
the purpose of taking up the bill from the
House, for the incorporation of an institution
for the training and instruction ol idiotic
children.
Mr. Haldeman moved to postpone the re
solutions indefinitely ;' which was not agreed
to, the vote being as follows :
Yeas. MesRrs. Baily, Buckalew, Crabb,
Darlington, Fry, Goodwin, Haldeman, Kun
kel, M'Caslin, CTNeill. 10.
Nays. Messrs. Barnes, Carothers, Darsie.
Forsyth, Hamilton, Byron D Hamlin, Hoge,
Ephraim W. Hamlin, Kinzer, Myers, Quig
gle, M'Fatiand, M'Murtrie, Robertson, San
derson, Skinner, Carson, Speaker. 17.
Mr. Crabb's motion was then agreed to ;
and Ihe bill to incorporate Ihe idiotic school
was taken up. (The bill makes an appropri
ation of $30,000 towards the establishment
of Ihis institution.)
. When the section making the appropria
tion was read,
Mr. Darsie rose, referred to the exhibition
of the idiot children in the House of Repre
sentative! last evening ; said it was one of
. the most interesting exhibitions he had ever
Witnessed, and that made a deep impression
upon his feelings, as it did no doubt upon
the feelings of all who witnessed it, and he
thought that the Senate were hardly pre
pared to act on the subject this morning
with proper judgment and a due regard for
Ihe interests of the Commonwealth.
Tbe bill by gene al consent, was then re
ferred to the Com iiitlco on Finance.
EVENING SESSION.
Mr. Darsie, on leave, reported from the
Committee on Finance, the bill to establish
a school for the training and instruction of
idiotic children, with amendment.
On motion of Mr. Haldeman, the supple
ment to the York and Maryland line rail
road company, to authorise them lo lay a
double track on Iheir road, &c, was taken
up. Passed second and final reading.
SCHOOL FOR IDIOT CHILDREN.
Mr. Darsie moved that the bill lo estab
lish a school for the education of idiotic
rhildien, just reported from Ihe Committee
of Finance, be taken up ; which was agreed
to by general consent.
The Committee amended the bill by
striking out the appropriation of 830,000,
and reducing it to S 10,000, to be paid out of
Ihe treasury when a similar sum of ,510,000
shall be subscribed by responsible contribu
tors ; and a further sum of $10,000 wheu
another similar amount shall be contributed
by responsible individuals ; provided not
more than $10,000 shall be drawn from the
treasury in any one year
Mr. Kunkel now moved lo postpone the
further consideration of the bill fur Ihe pre
sent ; which was agreed lo.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The act relating to the salaries of the as
sociate judges of Ihe Commonwealth, was
taken up in committee of the whole, (Mr.
Barton in the Chair,) and being teported
back to Ihe House, it was read thirl time
and passed.
The supplement to ihe act relating to lim
ited partnerships passed in 1836, was taken
up in committee of the whole, Mr. Berg
tresser in the Chair.J On motion the Com

The bill. to increase the salaries of ihe
Judges of the Supreme Court was then taken
up, (Mr. Bigelow in the Chair.)
The bill was reported to the House, and
coining up on second reading,
Mr. Strong moved its indefinite postpone,
roent. r
Mr. Gillmore opposed Ihe Motion. He
Wished that a liberal provision should be
made for the support of ihe Judiciary ; and
while Pennsylvania had always proved hei
liberality in every humane enterprise he
hoped it would not in this case be withheld.

were insufficient for their deeenl toppo") '
as they wpre compelled to be absent from
their families on expense during a great
portion of the year.
Mr. Strong was not -now, in the piesent
position of affairs, to be found voting for in
creased salaries, alihonuh he was willing
and anxious that they should be well and
liberally paid. '. I
Mr. Kilbourn was opposed lo Ihe bill.
He contended that Ihe services of Ihe legis
lator was equally onerous as that of the
Supreme Court Judges. He saw no reason
why the salaries of the Judges should be
raised any more than thai the salaries of ihe
other Jmlgps of Ihe several Courto should be
advanced ; but the finanres uf the State
would t.ol now allow of any increase al this
lime, at the expense of the lux payeis of the
Commonwealth. --
Air. Ejster advocated the bill on the gen
eral ground that the salaries were at present
insulliitii-itl f..i llt support r the Judges and
their families, and ho hoped the motion lo
nft.inone micht be moved that would obvi-
ato Ihe general objections to Ihe bill The
motion lo postpone was agreed lo. Yeas 47;

SWEARIXi l. OF THE VICE-Ml ESIOEST.
It would appear, by the following state
ment from the New Orleans Picayune, lha'
Vice President Kino was duly sworn in on
the 4th of March, notwithstanding the tele
graphic reports lo the contrary.
The Picayune says:
We have been favored with the following
extract from a private letter from Mantanzas'
jeceived in this city by Iho Crescent City :
"For the first time in the history of the
Republic has the man chosen by the people
for the second post of honor taken tho oalh
of office in a foreign land. William Rufus
King, was on the 4th ins!., sworn in as Vice
President of the United States, at tho Cum-
bre, near Mantanzas.
"The day was a most beautiful one : the
clear blue sky of the tropics over our headi,
the emerald carpet of Cuba beneath our feet,
and Ihe delicious sea breeze of these lati
tudes sprinkling its coolness over all of us.
Early in the morning Coaxul Rodney, deputed
by Judge Sharkey to administer the oalh,
left town on horseback for the Cumbre, ac
companied by several American gentlemen.
A pleasant ride of three miles brought us lo
the estate where Mr. King was residing, cal
led La Cumbre, (the peak) Irom its situation
on the culminating point of the hills that im
mediately suiround Mantanzas. The view
from here is one of the most beautiful the
eye ever looked upon. Far as the vision
could reach in this clear blue expanse, the
beautiful valley of the Yumaii extended,
with its winding river, its .varying liclda of
green and gold, dotted here and there with
white spaikling buildings that looked like
pearls set upon emerald, and Ihe brown hills
stretching far, far away in Ihe distance. No
more lovely or moro impressive spot could
have been found in Ihe whole world foi the
ceremony, and the solemn granduer of the
acl and of Ihe scene shed its spirit over us.
"The oath was administered by Consul
Rodney to Ihe Vice President, who was rea.
dy and wniliug our arrival. Tho volante was
brought up lo the door, and Mr. King stepped
into it, in order lo lide into Malanzas before
Ihe'sun should be too high to make it plea
sant. The whole cavalcade, consisting of
some twelve or fifteen American gentlemen,
immediately mounting, and forming as an cs
tjoit around the caniage, accinpauied the
Vice President to town.
(iThe Creoles who had gathered on the
lawn aiouud Ihe house, uncovered, and muny
a heart-felt Vaya vd can Dios (God be with
you) biokefioni their lips a they rode away.
On llu roail to town, ihe natives, wherever
we met them, silently uncovered as we ap
proached, and as we passed, sped after us
Ihe same iiiiivuisal saltilaiion. A few Span
iard, standing in gloomy ire al the door of
their shops, viewed us in silence, or muttered
a sullen ajo, as tho dust of our burses' feet
(low jn their faces.
"Mr. King left Malanzas on Iho same day.
for the estate of Mr. Cliarlruin, in Ihe pur
Irido of Liinonar, about eighteen miles Irom
heie. His health is very poor, and no one
accustomed to see patients with Ihe pulmo-
nary diseases in this climate, but knows he
cannot survive very long. He may live for
month, in this mild climate but, he can never
oe better. 1 be old statesman views biscom
ing fate with calmness, asone who has fought
the good fight, and will lay bold of eternal
me.

sually large and all our landlords seemed to
be crowded with customers. The trial of
James Brass for counterfeiting and William
Vandyke for assault and battery with intent

together a large number of persons.
Mr. Brass was convicted, but a motion
for a new trial, and arrest of judgment was
made by his council, and after argument,

The time for granting tavern licenses
was fixed on Tuesday evening. The Court

On Tuesday last the case of the com

THE PRESIDENTIAL, MUCCf SSIOIV,
The Intelligence we hare from Cuba in re
lation to Vice President King'a health is of a
very contradictory character. The most re
liable, however, seems to hold out but a
meagre prospect of his recovery. The New
York Journal of Comment says :
One of the Presidential Electors ol Ihis
State, who has just returned from a visit lo
Cnbs, informs us that the healihof Mr. King,
Ihe Vice President elect, is such as lo give
little encouragement to his friends. He had
not taken the oath of office, and was so feeble
as to be hardly able lo receive visiters at all.
There is no foundation whatever for the ac
counts that have been circulated of discour
tesy shown lo him by General Canedo; on
Ihe contrary, the Governor General waa in
clined lo Ireal Americans of distinction with
respect and attention; in proof of which he
had furnished Senator Jones with a travelling
passport granting unnsual privileges.
The probability of Mr. King's death has
already given rise to Ihe inquiry, among Ihe
politicians at Washington, as to who would
be President, in case Gen. Pieice should also
die berorc tho expiration of his term." There
is a provision in the constitution which au
thorizes and directs Congress lo provide for
such exigenscs, in pursuance of which an
act was passed in 1792, and w hirh we pre
snme makes ample provision for Ihe succes
sion in such an event. Thai act declares
that, in the event of the death of both the
President and Vice President, Ihe presiding
officer of the Seriate first, and, if there be no
presiding officer, then the Speaker oi the
House of Representatives shall net as Presi
dent till an election by iho people can bo
held to supply the vacancy. If the death
occurs I'vo months before the first Wednes
day in December, succeeding;, then the elee
lion shall be held iji that year, but if not,
then the year after; provided, however, the
term of I ho deceased President does not ex
pire on the fourth of March ne.vt succeeding
his death, in which cae provision is lo be
made for an immediate election. If then it
should happen that President Pierce and
Vice Preside! King should both die, Mr.
Alchinsnu, tho now ptesiiling officer of tho
Senate, would succeed lo the Presidency,
and hold it till an election should be made,
as piovnled by the law noted.

to those who sent you, tell them from me
that in the next mouth of March I shall
leave this spot for Ihe shores of Mexico.
On my arrival there 1 w ill call around mo
those persons of influence whn are true lovers
of their country. I will confer wi'h them;
and if I find co-operation if 1 find oinccrily
and a good will lo abnegate i-npiicious and
mistaken opinions and, finally, il I find men
of heart to make an obstinate ilel'i-nee of our
rights against the aggressors fiom the Nuilh,
and that Ihe only cry is fiidcpeiidencefir death,
thou will I. lend myself cheerfully lo new
sacrifices; for, in truth, I cannot survive Ihe
disappearance of Mexican nationality, and I
desire to bury myself in its ruins, if, nflet ihe
Mexicans have done Iheir duty, the great
Regulator of the destinies of nations should
order for us such a fate. But if my hopes
should not find encouragement equal lo my
desires, which never can be other than the
weal and gloiy of onr nation, I will return
disconsolate to Ihis retirement, to deplore tho
blindness of a people that obstinately believe
that it can do cveiythmg, when il leaves iho
only path left open lo it, and w ill not imitate
others' who, like them,- have found ihem- i
selves in a similar situation.
