to have lost all heart as yet Judging from the way
their representatives are going about here in the
Hobbies one would suppose that there was still
good chance for them to hang on to their scribs.u
1t Is needless to state that they have just about as
much chance to keep their snug berths as the
average Assembyman has to go home westward
with a clear conscience. The fact Is unquestion-
able that
THE GOVERNOR WILL SIGN THE BILL.
1t Is true that he has discovered, as most every
body else must have discovered by this time that
there great many serious errors in it which
really invalidate some of the material sections in
the act. This fact, however, will not prevent the
Governor from signing it, because it is certain that
a supplementary bill will soon be introduced to
make the crooked ways straight in the measure.
1t is believed, however, that the best and surest
or rather the most expeditions way OF fixing the
matter would be to have the bill recalled from the
Governor for correction it gets into his hands.
say gets into his hands advisedly, for it has
not as yet been sent to him. The engrosslng clerks
are still at work upon it, and as two different sets
OF readers have taken 1t in hand to prevent addi-
tional errors it is not likely that it win be ready
before Thursday. 1t was passed, 1t will be re-
membered, last Thursday, and as
THE TEN DAYS
allotted to the Governor for the consideration OF
bill do not begin until he actually receives the BILL
and do not date, as some people believe from the
day OF It's final passage 1t will be seen that Mayor
Havemeyer will have no occasion to complain,
when his twenty day allowance expires that he has
had to make appointments in a hurry IL il gen
orally understood here that there Is charter com
blnatlOn in the Board OF Aldermen, which Is not in
the Custom House interest," but which il republic
can, and Will be against the Mayor in neces-
stythar IL, II he gets too stubborn certain APP
pOintments they are anxious to control.
THE uSURY BILL.
The committee OF the Grand Jury OF New York,
who have been investigating the money lock ups
there, are expected here soon, and the question is
again in agitation shall the Usury laws be re-
pealeds Senator Winslow's BILL published below
was introduced in February last, reported by the
Judiciary Committee Tor the consideration OF the
Senate but without its favorable Recommendation
discussed and amended in Committee of the Whole
and finally lost on Its third reading by lacking

the measure as it now stands:-

lenders asking usurious interest viii insist before
the courts upon payment when the mere fact OF
asking usurous interest ensures judgment against
them IL Is believed that the country members will
favor this bill yet, although they might revolt
against square, open repeal OF the usurv laws.
The Senate was not full when the vote was taken

New York ones:-To incorporate the
