bill Of perhaps vital importance to the people OF
Tew-York was that OF Mr.. Hauschel to prohibit the
further erection of slaugher-hOuses and boneboing es-
Establishments in that city. Mr. Thomas c. Campbell
attempted TO bring the bill out Of the
Committee of the Whole, where It has been
delayed by various influences, and put upon
Its final passage. The opposition to the bill has
proceeded largely from the sockysrds and slaughter
houses now being built the North River at Fifty
nintst the speeches and influence of Jackson Schultz
having had a good deal to do with the Republican aid
which this opposition received Insomuch as the motion
needed twohirds vote, its defeat was foreordained.
