II has been already published in the HERALD The
first section. on being read, set the whole house
crazy. Mr.. Lincoln, though ponderous as an ee-
phant got as playful as a kitten and said bill
OF this character should receive the careful con-
sideration OF the Assembly az IT was the pres
ervatlon oil lie. Thereupon Mr.. sherwood, In his in
Irritable ialsetto, exclaimed THAT is what we are
here attempting TO save.o Roars OF laughter
followed the manner OF this remark. The read
ing proceeded, ana when Bergh's extraordinary
penalties Tor eating live oysters on the half shell,
for killing bedbuRs and the like were announced
the tumult was tremendous spittoons. law books,
ink bottles and everything handy were Knocked
about To swell the CONFUSION. The Chairman was
out OF breath calling order and broke his gavel
hammering on the desk. In the mast OF the babel

tlon was declared amid terrific storm OF ''Noesn

q few OF ms friends in Bloomingdae would like TO
see done Tney want BIoomlngdale road reopened
at the expense OF the city, so as TO secure for them
selves more extensive street front Tor their sew
eral residences. While 1t appears impossible Tor
such an outrageous bill TO pass, there IS always
danger that IL may when the committee insists
| upon Keeping 1t to the last few busy days OF the
session. The committees are responsible for half
! the evils of legislation.

! Ex-Collector Murphy is here TO look after the
passage of the bill extending the charter OF the
4 Gilbert Elevated Railroad. Mr.. Murphy expects
to be president OF the company. He Is hill OF

| Mott Haven CANA, and intends TO contest 1t IN
1 committee, with the sanction OF the people who
nave property along the line OF the canal which, in
/ the event OF this bill becoming law, would be
/ heavily taxed to pay for the so-caled improve
meni.
THE HONEST BAROMETER OF THE ASSEMBLY.
The fact that Griffin. commonly called "Od
\ Honesty member from Delaware, has spoken
only three tunes this session is said to be evidence

near the Speakers desk, out OF which he cheated

NEXT WEEK FOR RAPID TRANSIT.
Colonel spencer has at last succeeded in secur-
ing day for the discussion OF the Rapid Transit
bill OF Eastman. Next Tuesday Is positively set
apart for this purpose. The Colonel intends TO
make 1t the great event OF his legislative career.
1t Is TO be feared Eastman will be thrown in the
shade. Spencer claims more OF beauty, youth and
vlgor, greater powers OF debate and closer lRtl-
