Speaker repeated the question several times in a
leading form, and pronounced that assertion also un-
qual6edly false. The assigned for his absence
yesterday was the necessity Of attending meeting
Of the Commissioners of the Land Office.
AT the conclusion Of the speakers remarks it was
expected by several outsiders, and some insiders,
that motion would be made to expe the argus
reporter but no action was taken
Mr.. Hastings wanted to amend the journal Of yes
terday, but the House refused.
Several other members felt highly indignant at
the articles contained in the morning paper intro
duced by the honorable> the Speaker, and they
wanted something to say upon a question of prvi-
lege." Among those were Messrs W. Taylor,
Hendee, Heman, Holly, Wood, wings; and Messrs.
Loomis, D. B. Taylor Burroughs, and two or three
Others democrats.
Mr.. Hendee, while speaking of the course Of pro-
ceeding yesterday, on the Taylor resolutions, re-
marked that the hunkers held the noses Of the
banburners down, whilst the wings turned the
grindstone.n This convulsed the House with shouts
of laughter.
The whole affair ended in smoke, as all the ap-
parently aggrieyed honorable gentlemen seemed
content after exhibiting Quantmm suf. of indg-
nation.
Here the clerk read an invitation from the Com
mittee Of Albany Common Council, inviting the
honorable Legislature to participate in the enjoy
ment of the Fourth. No action was taken, for the
reason that previous engagements interfered.
The morning debates were listened to by Mr.. John
Van Buren and Daniel E. Sckles, Of New York,
with the most profound attention, who honored the
House with their presence.
The Speaker announced Messrs. Peters, Shaw and
charges against Mr.. Cole, the canal engineer. Upon
answering an inquiry made by Mr.. Shaw, the
Speaker stated that ''Mr. Cole voted for Mr.. Van
Buren in ls4s." Some member inquired il this was
intended an offset to the Mather impeachment
No response given. Messrs. Burroughs and Shaw
both peremptory declined serving upon the COM
mittee and the Speaker thsreupon substituted other
members.
Then Mr.. Russell Smith sent up resolution to the
chair.
Read-read for information" cried out half Of
the House.
Mr. Nafew, the everready clerk, read
Resolved-Tsat the use Of the A ,sembly chamber be
granted to the citizens of Albany in which to celebrate
the coming anniversary of Independence.
Objections were made the rule was suspended
Burroughs and Marsh opposed 8. s. Smith moved
the previous question, and it was decided lost.
The House was not yet prepared to take up the
special order of the day so Dr. Sprague, who usually
occupies seat in the suburbs Of the chamber, and
who has been heard only during the session. and
then against the " righteous Maine Liquor law"
jumped on his feet in front of the Speakers chair,
and moved to reconsider the vote taken yesterday,
by which the House agreed to adjourn on Friday of
next week. Mr., West made speech in favor Of the
motion Mr.. Burroughs doubted whether the House
could adjourn if the court of impeachment should
ganize. 1t was question whether it was not neces-
sary for the House to be in session during the sitting
ofthat court.
Mr. Ellsworth was also in doubt whether the
House could delegate its powers to committee to
conduct the prosecution in impeachment cases. Mr..
Martin, of Dutchess, believed that, the members of
the House were hundred and twenty eight leeches
upon the body polite. Mr.. Loomis said the Legis.
lature might have adjourned without amending the
constitution, and the people would have sustained no
loss but to adjourn now, without passing the bills
for the support OF gOvernment-which had been
adopted here during the regular session. and sent to
the Senate-woud involve great losses to the people
Mr.. ID. b. Taylor thought if members would hold
evening sessions all the business would be accom-
plished. Instead of which quorum Of members are
in attendance at the playhouse every night-he ne
girl kick up her heels. Mr.. Osgood rose quickly to
a question Of order. The whole House was insulted
he said, by. such remarks had just fallen from
Mr., r. Taylor The Speaker decided that theobjecton
to Mr.. Us remarks " were not well taken.'
Mr. w. Taylor had inform stion which came direct
from the Executive to the effect that if the Legs
latnre should adjourn without completing all the
indispensable business before both Houses that
another extra session would be called forthwith
The question was then taken, and the resolution
adopted yesterday to adjourn on Friday next was
reconsidered-aye 81, noes 25-thus putting the
question at sea again.
The House was still unprepared to enter upon the
assigned business of the day. Mr.. Champlin rose
and remarked that the House had adopted certain
resolutions yesterday endorsing the general admins
traton and had he been present. he should have voted
for two OF them, but as they did not go quite far
enough in his estimation be would offer the follow
ing. which he read in his place:-
Resolved, That most cordially affirm attach
men TO- ard faith in, the principles and policy of the de-
party Of the Union, set firth aud expressed

President, and we hereby ADOPT the and

unqualified appreciation and enthusiastic support
Mr.. Hastings was opposed to their being received |
or entertained As they related entirely to the |
democratic administrator, for which wings had |
no compassion il was strictly subject which re-
sued, a very few wings sustaining Mr. II. vote |
was taken. The resolutions we're received and laid |
on the table until to morrow.
i stated yesterday that all democrats present {
voted Tor Mr.. Taylors resolution. BY referring to
the ayes and noes it appears that Messrs. Chamber
lain. Crocker, Marsh, and P. W. Roses voted in the
negative.
Then the House took up the impeachment articles. |
The Senate was engaged nearly the entire morning |
session upon the New York Park question, called up
by Senator Beehman, who advocated Jones' Woods. |
lie was replied to by Messrs Cooley and Morgan,
who advocated the Central Park. No question
taken. Postponed until Thursday.
The resolution from the House for taking recess |
until Tuesday was announced. An amendment, |
moved by Mr.. Upham inserting Wednesday, was |
adopted. This throws over the executive session on
Tuesday. When the question came up for adoption |
Mr.. Otis moved to amend, by taking a recess until |
the 2Glh Of December. The vote stood eight to |
seventeen. The patriotic Senator's in the affirmative
are Messrs, Babcock Bartlett, Bristol, Cooley Jones,
Munroe, Otis, Wright. The resolution to adjourn |
until Wednesday was taken up after the recess and
after a debate rambling overall the finances and
other stale matters, until late hour, it was finally
adopted.
