The legislative business has been
|ostlv Of local character and only two
three measures attracted much atten-
Ion in either House.
In the Senate, there was an interes-
no time on Saturday, during the Con-
eration of Assembly Bill No. 72, pro-
Hing for an increase of jurisdiction of
I,ne County Court: 1t provides that
l. County Court shall have concurrent
#risdction with the Circuit Court where
e amount in civil cases does not ex-
ked $40, 900. Mr.. ORToN introduced
be Bill in the Assembly, which it pas
! h. but in the Senate Committee of the
aole it found some opposers. The
ends of Hubbell imagined it to be a
,e at him, and in order to free their
agnations, they saw no way but in
4 ling the Bill. Mr.. WAKELY was the
81 to oppose such increase ofjurisdic-
.n but was in favor Of abolishing the
unty Court System. That such pow
was unnecessary, and SO on--using
Fl such remarks as might be expec-
from any one opposing measure
don't like. After several hours Of
eechifyings from both sides, the Com
uee rose, and reported progress, when
was found the Bill wanted amending,
! the Senate went into Committee Of
whole on said Bill, but rose again
hout making any progress. Among
humber of notions adjourn pre-
gu, question, engrossing, Sc, the OPP
kpaeuts OF the Bill saw they were like

Il vast The hour for dinner, they took
Lleir hats and walked out with the inten-
/ ion probably, to leave 10 quorum, and
hereby defeat the law. But the friends,
wing majority, were not to be walked
/ Ter in such a manner, so call of the
kenate was ordered, and after a clos E
a uch by the nnmberless officers, several
y the absent were found anG reported in
d Gs,-among the number, Senator
AIRY. Again the Senate vert into
mmitle OF the whole, to perfect the
B by amendments. Afterwards, ii

D Bill was put VI on its passage,
ben Mr.. CAREY took the floor and
emmenced speaking against time, which
can always do better at than any
Ming else. He was frequently Gale d
