This claim has been before the Legislature at
nearly or quite every session during the past fifteen
or twenty years, and, on several occasions bills
have passed either or the other branch OF the
| LEGISLATURE; but, for some reason probably good
| ope) or other, Mr.. Hays bill never got through
| both branches at the same session. | remember
! that rather steep bill in behalf of Hay passed
! the Senate last year, and near the close OF the
session. when bills are rushed through sans cere-
NOME it was sent to the Assembly, and.
without having been reported from the
| COMMITTEE to which 1t had been referred
| (aud which Committee, by the way, did
! not intend TO report it) it was stolen from the
! desk of the member having il in charge, and one
| day nm stcrously appeared near the top OF large
/ pile of bills on the Clerks desk ready for third
res ling. In due time this bill was announced for
! third reading Gen. Duryea noticed the fact,
| and inquired whether il had been properly ordered
to third reading, which brought Out the fact that
! the bill had been SmUaged INTO the place IL Ocou'
pied: but of course nobody knew how 1t came
| there. II was given back to the member from
| whose deck il had been purlolned Mr. Engs, be-
level and that was the last of i for that session.
II il asserted that powerful lobby influence is at
work in behalf of this bill. Whether this be 80 or
not, as very large amount Of property il al
stake BAY says three millions Of doars II would
| be- we'll for members TO give the subject careful
examination before voting for tins very singular
