ALBANY MATCH To- loIz
The session Of both houses to-day was, as is al.
ways the case on Saturdays. stale, nat and unpront-
able. The fact Is, the New Workers and others who
i've over hundred miles from the capital don't
relish the idea OF having no week day in town, and
70 they take the adjournment bull by the horns,
and despite the beseecnlng OF the few individuals
who really do want TO stay over Saturday so that
the dear people may be benefited by their wise
aoings and sayings, pack their carpet bags
and shake the dust OF Albany from
their feet on Fridays, just as though the
old time principle was still In vogue. Strange to
saN there was quorum in the Assembly to-day; In
deed there were actually sixty.nine members pres.
ont and fortunate circumstance 1t was, as the
PEAS ana nays were called on o certain motion.
which was made purposely by the mover
70 ascertain whether there was quorum.
Had the result Of the vote shown that there was
not quorum
THE ABSENT MEMBERS
might have suffered severely in pocket on
their return on Monday. There were not
lew members who were anxious to
nave call Of the House, but better
oounsels prevailed In the long run. and the ex-
Eomists were paced, greatly to the relief OF some
Of the new ruralites, who have wholesome terror
OF the 'atter effecJsn OF CALL simply because they
really 90 not understand what they are.
