HOUSE.
THE REGISTRATION LAW.


lust before the noon recess in the
H ouse an effort was made to pass to the
third reading of several bills on the cal
endar in order to reach the bill amend.
ing the Registration Law. A division OF
the question was demanded by the Re-
publicans, pending which the House
took a recess. Upon the reassembling
of the House the Republicans began fill
clustering, and continued it for some
time. The House finally got down to
the bill, despite the dilatory motions Of
the opposition, and it was read the third
time, ahd Meuser obtained the floor to
speak upon it, after which call of the
House was demanded by the Republi-
cans, who filibustered for some time.
A vote was finally reached and the
bill was passed.
PASSAGE OF OTHER BILLS.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of Mr.. Van Cleaf's substitute
for his bill recognizing all Hospitals fer
the Insane, the Republicans flibustering
meanwhile. The bill was read the third
time and the previous question demand
ed and ordered, when the bill passed as
a matter of course.
Mr.. Klimper's bill allowing the Gin
cinnati Board of Public Works to ap-
point the City Auditor was also passed.
THE PENITENTIARY BILL.
The House Conference Committee on
the Senate amendments to the Penitens
tiary Bill recommended that the House
concur in said amendments, which the
House disagree to-.
Mr.. Bloom then moved to send mes
sage to the Senate that the House re-
fused to concur in the amendments and
asked another Conference Committee
This, also, was disagreed to, when a mo-
ton was made to reconsider the vote dis
agreeing to report. The Republicans
endeavored to have the motion laid on
the table and by other means delay the
action. Hour after hour was passed in
fruitless calls of the House, motion to
adjourn, &c.
THE CHARGE AGAINST REPRESENTATIVE
o'CoNNoR.
A motion to adjourn was made and
lost, after which the rules were suspend.
ed and the report was submitted and
read.
In brief, it recites the charges against
Mr.. O'Connor, and finds upon examin-
alton that on account of 'sunstroke he
was confined in the hospital until his
regiment was mustered out, and by rea-
son of that fact was unjustly placed upon
the record as a deserter. Before the
vote on agreeing to the report was de.
clared, Dalzell managed to get venal
minority read, at the conclusion OF
which Wright moved the adoption of the
majority report. The previous question
was demanded, but ordered and the re-
port adopted by party vote.
Mr.. Bohl moved that the minority re-
port be not placed on the journal, stat
ing that matter contained therein was
not matter of rec ord in the Committee,
as no record was kept of the proceed
ings.
The motion prevailed by vote of 50
to 20, so the min ority report will not ap,
pear on the journal.
THE INSANE ASYLUM,
Mr.. BOIL, on leave introduced bill
to reorganize tn e Asylum for Imbeciles,
which was read the first time. This inN
stitution, it appears was overlooked unr

all institutions to be recognized. The
House then to ok a recess till 10 a. m,
