THE STATE CAPITAL,

Change the Tire for Holding
the State Elt>ctions

The two Houses OF the Legislature reassembied
this evening, but no business or any Importance
was done, owing to the remarkable scarcity ot
members. When the hour for opening the bill had
arrived the Senator'S were on hand In sufficient
numbers to do most anything they liked
Ia legal way, but there was such an array
empty benches IN the lower House all the
evening that at no one time could number sufficient
10 pass bill be scared up, do what Armstrong
could. Many OF the country members, who arc
usually very prompt, had not arrived, and the ma
Iority Of the New Workers made bee.llne for the
theatres as soon as they had gulped down their
supper.
GENERAL ORDERS
were therefore the only resort OF the members who
were on hand, and The way the sitting dragged was
tedious enough TO satisfy even the three old
Shakers who sat ~ the galleries, evidently

public business attended TO by the representa-
tives OF the people present,

much better In his second attempt by presenting
