THE ARCADIAN ABOMINATION
was to-day received IN the House from the Senate
The natty little Mitchell moved to refer it to the
Committee on Railroads, as an amendment to mo-
on to refer 1t to the Committee OF the whole House.
Tho object OF this motion Is to move, when 1t comes
up In general orders, TO substitute the bill which
passed the Senate for the bill reported In the Assem-
oily by the title Red Hook Rooster.
MITCHELL MADE A MUss
about the AFFAIR, and stated that the bill had never
been read IN the Assembly Committee on Railroads;
that when IL was called up, being rather lengthy
ana the hour being late some member OF the COM
mittee objected TO having 1t read, and 1t was laid
over and the first thing they knew IL was reported
here 70 the House without ever being lread by the
committee. The Hon. Patrick Cnemuug chairman
OF the Railroad Committee stated that the bill was
m the committee and could have been read Dy any
member who wished.
