days proceeding up to the Clerk in
the form of q bill for the suppression
of dunnlng landlords, or some member
of that honorable body distracted
them from my coat-tail pocket, there,
fore my account Of the proceedings Of
the slower branches" will be rather
slim, as l am forced to depend on
memory, and the bright and sparkling
scintillatlons of wit which fell thick
and fast at the aforesaid session have
somewhat dazed me.
The House organized by the election
of Hal Clayton a Speaker, and John
James, Speaker pro. tenn, Judge f. II.
Harmon, Seresant-at-Arms, George
Tuhy and George Fryer, Pages. and
WIN. NJ. Gillespie, Clerk. Hal Clay
ton having a Chinese divorce case on
hand, was unable to attend, and the
Chair was occupied by John James,
who filed the position with his usual
grace and dignity. A Monaghan gen.
tleman present was by resolution es-
corted to a seat beside the Speaker by
a committee appointed for that pur-
pose. John" stood 1t for quite a
while, but vas evidently Ill at ease,
and seemed bewildered with the antics
Of the Mclean law makers, and or the
first opportunity made his escape from
the scene. A resolution was intro
duced that Hon. Charles Coyle, United
States Senator elect, be invited to ap.
pear before the House and address the
assembled wisdom, but 1t was'unani-
mously voted down. The member
from Bungtown asserting that as Zones
-Coyle's Private Secretary-had al
ready addressed the lower branches,
the "Third House" were not In a
mood to have any speeches inflicted OH
them. The House being only just or.
ganized. the members were unprepar'
ed, aud the proceedings had were
rather fiat, but as many of the men,
bers elect are old hands ut Third
House legislation, fun may be antlci-
pated at the next meeting, which will
take place as soon as Speaker Clayton
has completed his inaugural address,
in the preparation Of which lie has
been engaged for the past two years.
Tho senate
Held but q short session this forenoon,
the principal business being the read.
ing Of reports of committees, and the
introduction of a few new bills. I'm.
der the former head. Mr.. Clapp, from
the Committee on Public Morals, re.
ported without recommendation on
Mr.. Lockwood's bill, to provide for
the better observance Of the Sabbath.
/ do not think any action will be taken
this session In the passage of a Sunday
law. 1t does not seem to work well in
California. and the peculiar branch Of
industry followed In this State makes
Sunday work, In 4 great measure, a
necessity. Mr.. Hazlitt, from the Com.
mittce on Ways and Means, reported a
number of bills bearing on the financ-
es of the State, prominent among
which we're: An Act to regulate the
business y. muoioA anu paeusee
