o. motion Of Mr. Irish the special esdsY,
being these two bills, vas taken up, end al.
20 on his motion the wine aud beer bin was
| proposed to Be 6rst considssed.
On motion Of Mr. Trusdsll this melton
Was amended 90 a. TO Substitute for 6rse
| consideration, the license bill. Moties -
amended Was passed. The Speaker stated
that the license bill was in The hands Of the
| printer, and therefore, not being 10 pessss-
sion Of them, could not b acted upon.-
Whereupon Mr.. Irish moved to reconsider
/ the vo:s BY which the license bill was sub
/ stituted for consideration. Mr.. Murray
msvsd to lay the motion to reconsider on
the table. The latter motion prevailed, and
the Spesker decided that the motion TO re-
consider carried tee scAsle subjsct to the table
with IL.
This WAS looked upon ~ sharp dodge
by the RAIDS, who fear to touch this question,
/ and they breathed deeply and we're glssful.
i csnse, and BY bold aeouarians, like Mr..
Trusdsll. that this decision was erroneous.
At the opening OF tho p. n. session the
Speaker revoked his decision, and the H.
csnse bill was taken up, much TO the dis
comfort Of the artful dodgers.
The discussion was opened by Mr.. Rohlfs,
/ Of Scott, who made candid, common sense,
aud effective speech Of On hour 10 length
He WAS followed By Mr.. Hayden, Of Js6er-
/ son, sgsins. the bill Ballinger, Of Mahas.
ka, next took the floor. and with his usual
lucid obliquity detained for smother hour
| a2ans. the bill. Mr.. Trusdell got the foor
at four o'clock, and occupied the time until
| adjournment, in reading temperance lee
ture, that, though good as thing Of that
sort, did not touch single point at issue.
1t was . bitter dsnunciation Of Gov. An
drew on account Of his mastsrly argument
against piohibitivs legislation, and de-
/ nunciasion Of Webster. Clay, Marshall, Ne
Dougal, Salisbury. Yates, and other men,
dead and living, who have used liquor. In
deed. the honorable gsntleman's effort vas
L sptly described IS abuse Of the dead and
SANDER Of the living.
The matter comes up again this morning,
when Mr.. Truesdell has the floor to fnish
his speech.
Meanwhile. will 60 into other matters,
and at the end Of the discussion will give
/ the result.
Much of the practical legislation Of this
/ session, as Of former ones in this and
every State, is tracabs to the quiet infu-
| snce ofsound thinkers, who readily sss
| where law will lubircats the machinery
Of the State, who comprehend, and can trace
out each aud every result Of . law, and,
seeing the end frem the beginning, weigh
every effect Of its every section.

class Of men in the present Assembly 10
