Lewistown Gazette

Pennsylvania Legislature.

In the House the following bills were passed finally on Tuesday:

An Act to prevent the killing of wild game in Oliver township, Mifflin county.
An Act to authorize the sale of certain property of the Union Bridge Company, in Mifflin and Huntingdon counties.
An Act to attach the premises owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, and now occupied by William Hamilton, to the borough of Newton Hamilton school district, in Mifflin county.
An Act re-enacting the thirteenth section of an act relative to public roads in Mifflin county, and for other purposes.

In the Senate we regret to see that a number of bank bills have passed, in most cases by a small vote.

A resolution censuring the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case has given rise to some warm debates—the democratic senators generally endeavoring to evade a direct vote.

Mr. Sellers presented some petitions from citizens of this county against hawking and peddling.

The majority and minority of the Committee appointed by the Senate to district the State into Senatorial and Representative districts, have reported the result of their labors to the Senate. The ratio of taxables to a Senator in the majority bill is 17,000, exclusive of Philadelphia, which is assigned but four under the construction of a constitutional provision. The following table will show the Districts and taxables contained:

33
Representative Districts—Ratio 5,976.

The political result of this apportionment would be to give the Republicans 16 Senators, the Democrats 15, and leave two districts close and doubtful, taking the last election as a test of the strength of parties.
