Legislative Proceedings, &c.
Governor Bouck seems determined to take good
care of his own kith and kin at all events in the d..
vision of the spoils Already has he appointed four
members of his family to Office. Lyman Sanford,
his son-n law is the new adjutant general, Joseph
Bouck Is his private secretary, Chas. W. Bouck is
military secretary-both are his sons-and his
nephew has been appointed Governors messenger
His Excellency is said to have numerous brood of
relations, and should they all be treated alike, it
will be apt to increase the grumbng on the subject
already existing among his locofoco ranks
1t must be rara avis for Governor Bouck to have
a man call on him who is not seeking an Office
either for himself or his friends. He has been lite
rally overwhelmed by applicants since his arrival
here. The rage pervades even the little boys OF the
city. Ever since the commencement OF the session
the Speaker has en surrounded by host OF them OF
all ages and sizes, urging their claims and preensons
to the appointment OF messengers or pages OF the
House. 1t is good situation for boy, the wages
being 81 30 per diem, besides perquisites. The
Speaker makes the appointments.

The bill, it is almost certain will become a law.
Asregards the State printing, matters are stil in
embryo. Thurlow Weed IN his last paper, virtually
resigned his appointment land released the State from
its contract if any there was, binding on it. Mr. Dem
nston's bill meets with favor. It proposes that all
laws OF general interest," and local laws, shall be pub
shed in one newspaper in each cou.ty, fDI when
which they to be published, 70 be designated by
the State officers The principle is good one, but
the compensation posed Is too little

against it.. The Evening Journal has already shown
its hand on the subject, demanding to know if the
Legislature dare repeal it.
what I have not learned. He will preqably get
something.
In the SENATE to-day, Mr. Denniston's bill regula-
ting the state printing, had its first reading, and was
for the appointment OF State Printer in the same
manner as the Secretary of State, and to hold his
office by the same tenure-who shall publish the
state paper. There shall also be printer to the
ces at least ten per favorable to the state
than at present paid. This last to be chosen
IN the same manner as the first. The remainder OF
che day was occupied mainly in referring the vari-
GUS topics in the message to the appropriate commit
tees.
In the ASSEMBLY, Mr.. Aliens bill in relation to
tne same SUBJECT was read. IL differs from that OF
the Senate materially. 1t abollshes the Office
OF State Printer, and proposes to give the whole
out by contract at prices at least five per more
