THE HOUSE.
Little of importance was done at the
morning session of the House. There was a
somewhat bitter war of words over the mo-
ton of MIR. Mead to take the bill abolishing
the Office of public examiner from the calen-
dar and send it to the committee of the
whole, but it was finally done. There was
also lively debate over Col. Baxter's reso-
luton for the appointment of special COM
mittee to inquire into the alleged discrimina-
tions in freights by railroads. The Senates
amendment to the House resolution was, he
said, far more insulting than their refusal for
two weeks to take cognizance of the joint res
olution. Several members tried to make it
appear that the resolution was discourteous
to the railroad committee, but the House de-
cided to pass it nevertheless. The dispute
was reopened in the afternoon, but was soon
disposed of by the indefinite postponement
of motion to reconsider.
At the afternoon session all went smoothly
until Mr.. Comstock offered bill to allow the
State to be sued for the value of the old rail-
road bonds. This raised breeze at once,
and Mr.. w. NJ. Campbell moved to indefi-
nitely postpone it. Mr.. Comstock denounced
such action as discourteous to him, and
threatened that if such course was taken,
others bills might share the same fate. This
had the effect of permitting the bill to have
its regular course.
The House will meet hereafter at $3.50 I. NJ.
instead of ct 10 O'Clock as heretofore.
