much to-day as Tor several previous days
because of the absence of many of the
leading members.
! Mr.. Tobey of Calias introduced a bur
house, providing for its removal to Tafts.
vile. OF course this joke was a point
which is highly appreciated and causes
much merriment. The bill was very APP
propriately referred to the joint committee
on the insane asylum.
Mr.. McFadden of Wells introduced a
bill-the substance of which will be found
in your regular legislative report--intended
undoubtedly,to add ridicule to the removal
of the state house project.
The agitation of the state house question
has brought out bill introduced to-day to
Incorporate the Montpelier hotel company.
The bill to prevent the practice of med
ical quacks met its fate to-day, in refusal
of u third reading.
The house gave manifestation to-day of
its jealousy of the appointing power of the
governor in its action on the bill providing
for the appointment of a commissioner of
the insane The bill provided for the APP
pointment by the governor, but an amend
ment by Mr. Dana 10 make it an elective
office by the general assembly prevailed
1t was found also that it raised the salary
of the commissioner, and was quickly
thrown overheard.
The license bill is hardly discussed, but
yet it may be sharply pressed. Some peo-
pie have discovered what they deem u mod
| flied license measure in the bill to regulate
the practice Of pharmacy, which provides
that druggists may sell alcoholic, vnous
and malt liqnour for medical purposes.
Mr. Tobey, of Calais, is after the Agri-
cultural college in a resolution of inquiry
in the method of spending the income.
This has been brough about by the bill for
an appropriation to support an agricultural
professorship in the college.
The rrepressble John r. Forest is ON
hand with a pronuncmento against the
license bill in a handbll circulated here,
addressed to the Governor, Senators, Rep
reientatives and Third Houss." 1t is rather
plain statement of some matters and is
indirectly personal in its allusion to matters
in Chittenden county during the last cleo
ton, and asks the passage of State Police
bill. The Norton license bill is stigma
tiled as "bluff game" to stavc of any
improvement for enforcing the present
law. 1t also appeals to legislature to give
Sutton Burlington politician and his
tribe thorough rebuke by rejecting the
Norton BILL" 1t is a curious document and
has correspondence to some of the argu-
ments of the Rutland lawyer last week on
temperance measures before the legislature.
Edward j. Phelps addressed he COM

Hyde bill to regulate freiglts, in a forcibie

He is TO be followed by N, p. Simons and
Col. Walker Of Rutland. The closing ar
gument in favor of the bill will be made
by Hon. C. w. Willard. The prospects
of the passage of the bill look doubtful,
but some general bill accomplishing the
same object, and giving the needed relief
which will probably be engrafted into the
bill to fix rates on marble, will, with
out doubt, pass as the provisions of the bill
commend themselves to general favor.
That relief to the marble and slate inter-
ests will be given before the close of the
session, is quite sure. There is daily
growing conviction that relief is needed
Senator Reynolds new bill to constitute
board of railroad commissioners meets
with some favor, but its passage is yet
doubtful. 1t puts the railroad fare, includ-
ing the ordinary luggage, at the maximum
rate of three cents per mile, and children
under twelve years of age at halt price,
and this rate may be reduced by the rail
road commissioners in their judgment.
The commissioners are to be elected by the
people at the September election. What
initiates against the bill mainly is that il
provides for the same system of espionage
into the private affairs OF railroad com
panies as are embraced in the very objec
tionable bill of Senator Clarke. The grea
mystery here is why some member doe
not introduce an equitable and praclica
measure that will receive the sanction o
the legislature and the people without

to hit.
Senator Clarke has new bill which pro
vides that railroads shall not charge NOR

greater distance, for passengers AMI freight

sions before the close of the week.
