Tho Senate to-day presented a sceno of the groatest dis- ordce and eonfusion ever exhibited in this or any other legirlative body. At ten o'clock in the morning the war commenced on tho canal bill. Its friends, finding that the subject was in the hands of the Court of Appeals, and fearing a decision which would frustrate the hopes of the contractors, without doing any other businces, attompte | to enter at once upon the passage of the canal bill frem tho House. The opponents of the bill reslated the effort with mueh determination, and the whole day was con- *umed in this matter, Tho disgraceful scenes enacted during the passage of the bill, in Juno last, bears no comparison to what was exhibited to-day, The words “liar,” “falzohoood,” and other equally disrespectful torms, wefo indulged in by Mr. Tabor, (whig', and imputed to other Senators, Had not great forbearnce beon exorcised by BMr. Cooley, (dem.), and others, such scenes as frequently disgrace members of Congress, on the ficld of Bladensburg, might havo ocourred, The whigs and hunkers, with the exception of Mr, McMurray and Mr. Cooley, went together in hurrying, with unprecedented hot hasto, this bill for the signature of the Governor. Finding it impossible to got action on the bill, and obtain its pasaage in advance of tho deci- sion of the Court, Mr. Bristol, (dom.) at a late hour in the evening. offered a resolution to take the bill from tho committee of the whole, and order it to a third reading at once. At ten o'clock at night, the committee room, over th Senate chamber, was found to be filled with refresh- ments. of which Mr. Conger (dem,) took notice, and in- formed the Senate. declaring that the swarma of eon- tractors had furnished the liquor and food to stimulate the weary ones during the night.

In contemplation of the action of the Legislature, the Goveenor wrote Judge Bronson, and spoke to me some days since, oxpressing his intention, if authorized to do so, to retain us to ar, the constitutional question arising im this case. In viow of this intimation, I have devoted the brief time whioh has intervened in preparation, and so, as I understand, lise Judge Bronson.
