terday. A bill introduced by DR.. Cox, of
Preble. to protect the people Of the State
from the vendors of patent nostrums, was
the subject Of discussion and had occupied
the atteGtlon OF the committee of the whole
for the three or four previous days. The
time was mostly spent in the delivery of
burlesque speeches and n rending the various
advertisements of the patent medicines Of
the day. Nothing was done in the shape Of
definite action, and perhaps will not be, but
as some excuse must be framed Tor staying
here until the second Monday of March, that
serves the purpose us well as any. The code
was again taken up in the House on Monday,
and nIter spending the day, it was again laid
on the table by the adjournment. II will
perhaps pass in a day or two, but must wait
further action on the bill to provide for the
publication nf the laws in newspapers. The
House and Senate are now divided on an
amendment to that bill-tlir Senate insist
ing on paying 10 cents per thousand and
the House on paying so. That question
must be settled before the code passes, Ms
its publication will cost a great deal more
than its utility will justify, it it be published
n all the newspapers of the State at rs
cents per thousand. So says the House and
the Senate disagrees, and the code must
await the determination Of that question.
