considerable discussion. 1t was reduced from ABOUT
$4,000 to $4,000 The Senate did very proper tnng
this morning in defeating the Newark Market scheme
which would have cost the City ~ Newark more tnan
$25O.OOO IL is understood that the state House h'ng
last night dsarranged the plans of the advocates OF the
7 per cent bill. 1t is quite well known that the
necessary votes to pass the bill had been Sc
cured, and IL was to be rushed through to-day.

"Ben Lee the iumvirate Of the State House, got to
work ON their Democratic followers and convinced them
that II the per cent bill allowed to pass IL woud
result in the political death Of Of the Democratic party
