RrriNaFIELD, March 20.—Senato bill 162, be- Ing the River Improvement bill, cama up a8 the spocial “order, and.way reads third timo, Nr. Johnson charged that unduoe influences had baen brought to boar by Senators upon membors, and that Executive influonce had boon dircotly used fn favor of tho measure, which was ono of two or throo nctually demnnded by the Excoutive, He was oppoged to building lockn and dams to drain Chicago River of its filth, Mr. Hurt, of LaSallo, replied, and chided Mr. Johnson for maling charges unlesa ho was ablo to prove them. : Mr, Hito romarked that ho was not influenced by anybody, in any way, and favorod the appro- priation. Mr. Jaquess, from Wabnsh, spoke againat tho bill, and was followed on the othor sido by Mr. ora, of McLoan. oot woa anfied on tho passago of tho bill amid broathless silonca. Tho firat call produced B1votes. ‘The absonteos waoro called and 71 woro brought to tho scratch. Then the smokors were hunted up, and two moro wero ndded, making 73, with four still wanting of tho constitutional 77. Thoro was hurrying to and fro, and nfi)mn!u wora mado to unchangesblo mon to save the bill, but in vain, They wero immovable, and tho bill was 1ost—178 to 4. _ A motion to reconsider was on- torod by Mr. Rountroo, and tho furthor cons sideration postponed until Kviday, when, if thoroia mot enongh votos, an attempt will bo madoe to givo _it anolher chanco noxt woek, Branson, Loomis, Wuyman, Soule, nnd Btraotor, frionds of tho bill, wero abdont, and aro expeocted to bo progpnt whon it comes up again. That will leave two to spare if all who voted to- doy stick, ANOTHER INVESTIGATION. Oborly offored a resolution for a committes of fivo to invostigato the allegation of Mr. Johnwson that tho Governor had roquosted mombers to voto for the Rivor Dbill. The resolution was odopted, end Mesers, Oberly, Hawes, Bwan, Jenes, and McPhorran wore appointed. LARE FIONT, The spoolal ordor this afternoon in the House waa the bill ropealing tho Lake Front act, which was wp{wuud to bo on its third reading, but in- vestigation proved it to bavo boon read only twica. It was considored on its second reading. Mr, Wicker said he would not have voted originally for tho aot, but as it was passed with- out his halp he did not vote for its ropesl, as ho doubted whether tho Logislature hod_s xight to ropoal an act nnder which rights had acquirod. Ho moved to refer it to tho Judiciary Commit- teo. Mr, Bradwell hoped the motion would not provall, as it was mado for-the purpose of killin the bill. Every member should know tho acl was tho biggost nteal that was over brought through the Logislatura of tho Stato., That was notorious, and yet tho gentloman (Wicker) — waunted ‘it sont to tho Judiclary. Judge Drummond pronouncod tho act unconstitutional and void, aud that the railroad companies hnd acquired no rights un- dur tho bill, Tha railronds had not vontured to tnkfi an appeal. Tho people wero robbed of thelr ark, B Mr. Rountreo said o man coming from Chi- cago to the Legislature, who did not vote for the bill to ropeal the Lake-Front nct, was likely to bo made the subject of vituporation and lios by the publio press. Whon ho raised his right band in that Lall and aworo to support the Coustitution of the Btate ho meant all ho sworo to, and no press, nor anything elso, could make him waver or sworve from the Coustitution. Tho Dill iuvolved o most serious question of constitutional layw, and on the faco of the Lill thero was necos- ity for the most searching investigation and re- soarch. It was of no importance whethor the bill was carried by frand and corruption, The bill was oxplained, Tho gontloman contonded that tho State had renounced all ita right to the land, which was an absolute grant. Mon who wore mindful of their constitutional obligations could not voto against reforring it to the Ju- diciary, Mr. Horrington eaid the motion was made to procrastinate, and the roference was asked to bo made ton committee of whick tho gentleman from Cook (Rountreo), & notorions opponent of tho bill, wus a membor. That was a nico mo- tion. They should pass tho bill and wiEo out the * disgraco perpotrated on the Btate Dby the Leglslaturo of 1869, when men were bought lilia shoop in_ the ehamblos, and to- day the paid hirelings of the Illinois Central Raiiroad wore in tho lobby insinuating them- selves among mombers, Tho motion was mada in tho intorest of that rond. Br. lountreo nuked if the gentleman intendod to ineinuate that he (Rountree) had, or over had, any conuection, near or remoto, with tha Ilinois Contral Railroad. Mr, Herrington said he ‘meant to insinunato that the gentleman (Rountroo) was co-operating with tho puid attorneys and friends of the Illi- nois Contral, and wus particops criminng with that Comfimuv in attempting to defond iis rob- Dbery of tho City of Chicago. The Bpoakor rapped his gavel, and requested the gentlomen to stick to tho quostion, und not indulge in personalitios. Br, Bhaw belioved the motion to refor wns n motion to kill. Thoe act, which was tho most flagrant ontraga over inflicted on any poople, ghould be considered in the wholo House, where it could not, bo delayed or smothered, ‘ho pre- vious question was ordered on the motion to ro il;l', end tho motion wus lost—yoas, 109; nnys, Mr, Bradwell moved go suspend the rules and rond tho bill o third time. As thore was some doubt as to the constitutionality of the proceed- {ng, tho motion was withdrawn aud tho bilt mado {ho spocial order on tho third reading for to-mor~ row morning, Mr. Show callad up bis Invostigating bill, wish- ing to hdvo it read a econd time and passed in tho morning with tho Repealing bill, Mr. Oberly moved topostpone untilto-morrow, that ho might amond it and include olher mat- T, Br. Blhiaw replied that thoy conld got up other committoes fur othor subjects, as this subject would givo ono committos al it could do, Mr. Jones was in favor of the bill being passed forthwith. My, Dunham bolieved the bill should remain open for amendniont. Mr. Hopkins dosired to refor to the Judiciary, and Mr, Groy to postpouo indoflnitely, Eventu- ally it was postponed until the morniug, when it will come up on & second reading, Tho temper of the llouse was docidedly in favor of the Repealiug bill, which will pnsa to- morrow, and go to tho Senato, whore its fate is growing niore and mora doubttul. THE BAILTOAD ILLS, which woro the special order this morning, being pushed forward by other special orderd, wero postponod until 11 o'clock to-morrow. CIROUIT COURT BILT. The Houso Enasud tho Supplomentary Circuit Court bill without the emergeney clnuso, and it waa #ont to tho Senato, whore it will be pushed spoodily through.

Roweft sy mado no application for roappolutmont, but will take tho chances. Tho chnncon of any of the old Bonrd pre glim, A clean awoop will probabiy bo mado. Canisius is tho candidato of Mr, Hosing, who desires him in plnco of Butz, and tho prospect _of his appointmont is said fo bo cheoring to patron and protege. Nothing will be dono this weok. Tho Govornor witl not removo tho old Bonrd until aatisfied in bis own mind that ho can find mon a8 good, if not botter. ‘Che fact that tho inatititution is aying, and thet au unfortunato chango might En disnstrous, makos him hosilato, aud ho will proceed with caution, 3 g TIHE LAKE-FIONT ACT. . Tho lub’b{ ngainst the ropeal of the Lake-Front act in worldng actively in the Scnate, and making convorts to tho notion that it would be an un- pardonablo wickedness to disturb tho status of tho easo now ponding in the Courta, A proposi- tion wns mado, and rojectod, to unito tho for~ tunes of tho Wost Bido Park’ bill and tho Lalte- Front Repoaling bill, the former to bo carriod if tho lattor woro dofeated.

What other trades are in progress itis hnrd to say, but thoy will dovelopin duo time, In- iquitous swapping always cxposos itself in somo way. Mr. Jowott is wrostling with the Scnato. Ho i3 on ablo and plausible map, and haa o con- vineing way with him. Mr. George Wall,from Du- Quoin,has chargo of tho Sonators from thoSouth, and takes oxcollent chargo of them. Betwoen two such mfl%uxtn?ont i; i no wondor thfi “Lh nocent, unsophisticated farmer 1s ground to powder, and R omos out with his mind disturbed ond_his dotormination shokon, Then thero are smull attornoys nlong the roads who operata on their immediato roproscntatives, Bo it goes. The bill will hayo o hard rond to travel. There is on evident intention to dola; Pru resd, bub tho nppenrance of tho Houso bill in the Sonato will compel action of soma kind. POLLING-PLACES, Under tho Towuship Orgauization law, tho town mootings to ocour next Tuenday must bo held in one place, and only one poll can be used, 1o mattor Losr many votors thore may bo. Wesl Ohicago would cast somo 20,000 votos if all tho votors voted ; South Ohicago about. 16,000 ; and North Chicago about 6,000, That ail theso’ vot- erg could cast thoir ballots at one poll would be plysionlly impoesiblo. ' Thou in tho country towns voters would have to travel from flvo to ten miles to the polliug-place. Virtually, the prosont law disfranchises o majority of the vot- ors, and allows the town clections to bo manipu- Intod by designing bummors. o cure the avil, tho Benate passed tho following curative bill to- day, and an offort will be mado to got it through tho Houso this woek ¢ A BiLy for an act concerning the clection of town officers in towna where different voting-placos have g B T easted by tha Paople of the Stats of 0, 1.
