legislative Summary.

In the Senate yesterday, a resolution of
thanks to Speaker Lacey was adopted.
Resolutions were also introduced, which
lie over, thanking other officers of the
Senate. Senate resolution authorizing The
Supreme Court of the State to appoint a
committee of three to codify the criminal
laws of the State, was rejected. The re-
port of the committee on the Penitentiary,
which represents that institut ion to be
under efficient management, was accepted
and ordered to be transmitted to the House.
House joint resolution to appoint joint
committee to investigate the affairs of the
Bank of Tennessee, was adopted. The
committee appointed to Investigate GER
tain charges of corruption in connection
with the last General Assembly, submitted
report generating that body. The re-
port was received and the committee dis
charged. ESQ
The House amended the Senate assess
ment bill and passed the amended bill on a
final reading-ayes A, noes, ,16. A great
deal of diminishing was witnessed during
an effort to bring up the revenue bill on
third reading, making the reading of the
"riot act'' much more appropriate. House
joint resolution providing for a recodifica-
ton of the laws of Tennessee, was tabled;
to have six additional commissioners APP
pointed to attend the Vienna Exposition,
was adopted A number of House bills on
Senate amendment were called up, and all
concurred in; the report of the committee
on the State Prison, speaking most favora-
bly, of the general treatment and manage
OF the convicts, was read and accepted. A
message was sent in from the Governor
with communications 10 him from the
State Treasurer and Comptroller, stating
fo1k -, Il
bill as requiring every dollar of the State
current revenue to be reserved, if necessa-
~, from this to July 1874, to meet the in
