ALBANY, Goth January 1889.
The debate on the small bill system continues in
the Senate but not with any great veor. As yet the
Locos have had 10 fight against the air. Not OF
their Wing antagonists has fired gun. Mr.. Lacy
has been letting of few squles just by way, sup
pose of setting Col. Young's tongue gong This in
utes. never saw man so troubled with the Itch
of hearing himself talk. He is about five feet eleven
inches in height, well made wears specacles and dis
plays an honest bald pate lfngcd with sundry grey
hairs He has nimperturbabe face speaks correctly,
is very learned and perfectly fa in the twstlngs
and turnings OF Mr. Van Buren, and his Regency
council Mr.. Young will have his joke too, no mat
ter at whose expense This joining OF humor TO the
heavy task of legislation is not exceplonabe. Look
at the House of Commons, and the Chamber of De-
paties. Wit ahounds in those bodies and almost out
weighs the wisdom with which we are taught they
should abound. could wish that Our State Legsla-
u'e had few mere jacose members. Young in the
Senate and Sbley in the House appear so far to
ry away the palm in humorous and sarcastic iegsla-
hon. They are the Hogarlhs of the Legislature.
