Enron GAzErrE,-For the last week the
wisdom assembled Mt the State Capital in.
Columbus has been devoted 70 the consid-
eratirn OF subjects of The smallest possible
importance 10 tho readers o the Gaseiie. In
the endless variety we will Sndeavor TO Sc
lect something from the store with which
our memory stands charged. First, by u
unanimous consent of all the newspapers, and
the newspapers is the public" comes the
bill for the publication of the laws. 1t will
be recollected that the House put the COM
pensation at fifty cents per thousand m
and on its third reading in the Senate it was
so amended as to allow seventy-fve cents per
thousand. The House refuses to agree to
the amendment and the Senate insists upon
it, and two committees of conference have
underworld to bring the two bodies together
without avail. Both branches seem now
disposed to adhere to their respective opin-
ions and the disagreement may be the cause
of the defeatof the measure. The printers
would prefer that, perhaps, to the passage
Of the bill in any shape, as it would leave it
under the old arrangement which is much
more favorable to their interest. The Sen
ate bill amendatory to the act for the main
%tenanoe and support Of illegitimate children
has passed the House and is now a law.
After a long struggle, the bill to amend
the tax-law by striking out the exemption
clause and inserting "seVenty-hve" dollars
instead or"two hundred' as it now stands,
was passed in the Senate by a vote of2l TOD,
The House passed the bill without any ex-
emption and will perhaps isagree with the
Senate on that subject. Whether the dif-
ference will be inconsiderable remains to be
seen; but exemption seems to be by nc
means popular, and if admitted at all, will,
not be to an amount exceeding the above
named um-probably not even that.
Mr.. Wilson's bill, which figured so eon
spicuously in the early part of the session
to fix the rate Of interest and to proven
usury, was to-day called up from the tablt
where it has rsposed for the three pas
months and without mses resistance indef
%initcly postponed. The bill to create
sinking fund for the liquidation Of the pin
cipal and interest Of the State debt was re
ported back and briefly discussed, and tn
Breslin men pcrceiging the indications OF
rising storm on that subject, prudently vot
ed to refer the bin which was done.
A bill to regulate Insurance CompaniP
has been pending in the House, which com
, pels them to deposit funds in places wher
| they operate in insurance policies, and til
representatives of various companies ARE o
hand to watch the progress of Legislativ
encroachment.
A Maine Law passed the House on Sal
urday. 1t leaves the question of lpgislatio
on that subject to the Trustees of the var
Gus townships-and gives them very full at
thority over the traffic.
The Wing State ticket takes like wild fir
and advices are coming up from all quarter
that give cheering omens of the prospects
Nothing is needed to elect it but labor an
labor will not be wanting. For all i,
r friends say good cheer. ENoorHNEs.
