! Craftsmanship OF Senator Person
The bills for a Constitutional Convention were not
presented to-day. Both the Senate and Assembly
bills are drawn; the provisions of the Senate bill l
| sent last evening" The Assembly bill provides Tor
the election of delegates by Assembly districts, and
those only are to vote who vote for Assenblymen
| at a,General Election.
The most important feature of tho proceedings of
the Senate was the passage of the New-iork Clty
Tax Commissioners bill to third reading. Among
the amendments adopted were one increasing the
salaries of the Commissioners from 5000 to S6OOO'
and one retaining the Board of Revision The dis
cssion upon the bill was participated In by Senators
Picrson, H. G. Murphy and Sessions.
In the Assembly the bill giving protection to
female employees was taken from the table and
passed. Those who voted against it did so because
it revived the principle of imprisonment for debt.
The bill as passed is as follows:
AN ACT for the further protection Of Female Egp0yfs N
