NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

Ono OF Tom SCOTS VassaIs Again Attacks
the Prcss-The Removal OF the state
Capital. i1oI.fo af rsrl. a4lA
In the New Jersey Legislature yesterday the only
subject that engrossed public attention was the
attempt by Cole, OF Camden-Tom Scott's pocket
borough-to muzzle the Independent press A
resolution drawn up by one Pangborn, OF Jersey
City, q member OF the Tom Scott lobby was offered
by Cole, but Mr.. Carse the Speaker pro tenn, de-
clared 1t out OF order. The resolution was as fol-
lows -
Resolved that this House recommend those Reporters
misrepresenting members Of this Legislature in their

The caligraphy of this resolution was equal to it's
other merits, and the Clerk paused several times
in wading through It, provoking laughter
on every side Letson, Patterson and
Others tried to obtain the door and resent the
hammered violently and the subject dropped. A
resolution OF censure on Cole will be introduced
early next week. The report OF the Senate COM
mittee on the resolution to expel the HERALD re-
porter from the floor Is looked for next Wednes-
The bill providing for the consolidation of Hobo-
ken with Jersey City, and which passed the House
by vote OF 80 to 9, caused a good
to pass the Senate. The Infamous Jurors
bill will never become law. The inconsistency Of
Senators Stone and Taylor In opposing amend
ments to apply this highly beneficial ~ measure
TO their respective constituencies while forcing it
on Hudson county, formed the best argument
against the bill.
The following Is the bill relative to the removal
OF the State capital from Trenton -

ANOTHER CITY PRISON IN A DISGRACEFUL
CONDITION. tl

An Aldermanic committee short time since Wis.,
tied the Harlem Police Court and Prison, and re-
ported that the part OF the building allotted to the
confinement Of prisoners was in anything but .
wholesome condition. This defect was not attrib-
utable to the keeper, Mr.. Purdy, but to the loca-
ton of the cells. They are situated In damp
nOisome cellar, and the flooring is laid the bare
ground. nights confinement i'm this Wretched
hole is sufficient to cause fever and ague or rheu-
matism, and so long as the prison Is situated in
the cellar these evils must continue. since the
publication OF the committees report the Com
mlssiOners OF Charities and Correction have dong
things. The cells and Office have been kasomined
and repainted, and now present quite csntrase
to their appearance fortnight ago but, OF course,
the chief evil remains. No ray OF the sun can
reach the cells, and the floors still remain damp.
The keeper allows the prisoners under his charge
every privilege consistent with discipline, but this
Is little enough. tr....

THE BANK FAILURE AT HBw HAVEN.

The Hartford Courant thus refers to the suspen-
sion on Wednesday Of the banking firm Of E. s.
Scranton Co., Of New Haven't
In reply to inquiries a member Of the firm
stated that the losses of the house had
begun shortly after the Boston FIRE, which
depressed stocks and compelled many opera
tors to 60 under. Some OF these. who had
stock at Scranton Co.'s, were unable to make
good their margin, and the house lost heavily.
Rumers that the firm was crippled spread rapidly,
and dep0st0rs at once commenced to draw. These
misfortunes were followed by the rumored failure
of q large operator, who Is well known In cOnnec-
ton with the Credit MobIller and Union Pacific
Railroad, which had the effect OF frtghten-
on the firm. This has been !gsing on
for two or three weeks past, and Wednesday
the firm acting under the advice Of Its friends,
suspended. Two policemen were guarding the
doors at noon. A statement Of the affairs OF the
bank will be made as soon as possible. The Habit
ties OF the rm are said to be 100000 to $500,OOO
and 1t Ia claimed by the bankers that they have
assets enough 20 meet the demand, but were un-

Lecture and Readings by Mr.. BeIlew

Lecture ana tea0lnSS ny MR. BeueWs
Quite good audience in point of numbers last
evening welcomed Mr. J. NJ Bellew &C the Aca-
deny of Music. where for an hour and half he
entertained them with "reminiscences Of Oliver
Goldsmith and extracts from his writings. The
greater portion Of the evening was devoted to q
sketch of his life, his trials and triumphs, and If
In some passages the picture was o little over
drawn, the audience attributed 1t to the enthu-
siasm Of the lecturer. BEGINNING with divers
early life he sketched his school days, detailed the
devoted manner in which his mother watched over
MIN in a happy out humble home, his acad-
ing profession, his final departure
for Scotland and his subsequent wanderings over
Europe, with his flute as his only companion and
means Of livelihood. These days OF Goldsmith. he
said, showed him to be Gods image In rags but at
all times he was one who loved to steal into the
hearts OF little children. Mr.. Bellew next traced
time he used to write ballads at five shlings each
until fame crowned his efforts and placed him high
In the realms Of literature, friend OF Dr. Johnson,
Mr.. Bellows description OF the vicissitudes expo
rienced by Goldsmith while ledger with Mrs.
Fleming, where he wrote the "Vicar OF Wakefield"
was graphic In the extreme, as was also that Of
other leading events In his career In London.
The lecturer interspersed his narrative with many
anecdotes OF the poet and historian and naturalist
and his contemporaries, including DR.. Johnson and
Boswell, the 6iographer. He was particularly
severe upon the bisgrapher, whom he characterized
as man who would violate the warmest conf
dence, but one who had rendered the world great
service by the faithuness OF his biographical con.
trlbutiOns to literature. AS O lecturer Mr.. Belew
last evening pleased his audience and proved quite
enthusiasm bv his renditions OF the "Travenerr
and passages from 'The Deserted Villager ana

from such a severe cold that he had but poor COM
