Legislation is now pr ogrsssiug at railroad
speed. The various bills which have been
in tho hands of committees, begin to End
their way back to the Speakers desk, in
great numbers. Tho House holds night SEES
sions, and bills are put through without
much cavilling. Though the Senate has not
yet resorted to night sessions, it is rapidly
disposing Of business. 1t has somewhat
outstripped the House, in the matter OF
keeping pace with the business Of the ses-
sion. Nearly all the important measures of
the session have been disposed Of, except
the revenue law, the appropriation for the
Pcnitentiary, and the general appropriation
tor the support Of the State government.
A bill making IN appropriation of $4,000
10 tho Insane Asylum-has passed both
houses, by nearly strict party vote. The
bills apportioning the State into Senatorial
and Representative districts have passed
both houses. The Po,tawattamie Senatorial
district is now composed of the counties of
Fremo ont, Mills and Potsawattamie, and Mr..
ENGLISH will represent the same in the next
Legislature.
The Senate is now considerably thinned
out, Mcssrs. Johnston, Coolbaush, Bussey,
Bailey, Pusey and Rar kin hav-
ng gone home. Mr.. Hagans is absent,
ying sick in his room.
The House to-day passed resolution fix
ng tho day of adjournment for Tuesday,
he Sd of April. The Senate has INST yet
but it IS generally understood,
hat the session will not be prolonged be-
7ond that day.
