THE LEGISLATURE
4 JOLLY LITTLE DEBATE IN THE
SENATE List NIGHT.
Railroad Discrimination Almost Makes a
Rumpus-$1e,5O0 for Enlargins the
Rochester Insane Hospital--The Second
State Prison Very Dead-An Avalanche
of General Business.
THE SENATE.

The Senate had a lengthy session yester-
day, morning, afternoon and evening. A
large number of bills were introduced, it be-
ing the last day but one on which new bills
will be received. A correspondingly large
amount of business was done in the way of
committee reports, and of local bills passed
under suspended rules. A few bills were
passed under the regular order, they being
chiefly Of o local nature. At the evening
session the topic which monopolized the
greater portion of time was Senator D.
Bucks bill relating to railroad discrimina-
tions, and it being of reasonable, if not
even of a mild character, it's friends hoped to
pass it. What appeared at first to be rather
tirnid criticism of the measure, however,
rapidly developed into opposition of the
most decided character, and amendments
emasculating its salient features were adopt
ed until its author denied it's paternity, and,
on motion of the friends of bill, it was in
definitely postponed.

MIR. SHANKs offered resolution in the
House yesterday, which was adopted after a
little debate, limiting debate to one speech
from any one member upon any one subject,
and restricting that speech to five minutes,
with two minutes for explanations. At this
stage of the session such q rule is eminently
proper. Too many members wish to air
their eloquence on unimportant measures,
and often on matters of general interest. A
man competent to be member of the legis-
lature ought to be able to compress his
views into fye-minute speech. If he can
not do so he ought to be choked off.

WE don't very often see anything to COM
mend in Nast's cartoons, but his last one is
a decided hit. It represents Blaine as press
ing very black and very woolly darkey to
his manly bosom. Tho darkey wears q
broad grin upon his countonance, and holds
in his hand ''vote." While Blaine loving
ly clasps him with his right arm, he, with
hyerted eyes and motion of his left arm,
waves back Chinaman whose countenance
is visible over the edge of wall. 1t is a
crushing blow at Blaine's demagogueism.

THE POTTER REPORT,

The report of the Potter committee, pub
lished in the GLOBE of yesterday, will COM
mend itself to the public generally, without
regard to party predictions. It cannot in
fairness be called a partisan document, for
there is little or nothing of partisanship in
it. 1t is simply careful digest of the evi-
dence submitted-that portion of the evil
dence that cannot or has not been impeached
with deductions drawn from the facts thus
presented.
In the matter of the Florida election, the
committee rely upon well-known and estab-
]ished facts in their conclusion that the
Hayes electors were not legally chosen. The
report recites the various legal proceedings
had-how the canvassers delayed declara-
ton of the vote until the last moment al
lowed by law, and then relates the judg-
ment of the supreme court of
that State which subsequently decided
that the Hayes electors were not and
the Tilden electors were elected. The iudg-
ment of the court is further sustained by a
recital Of the fact that the Democratic can
didate for Governor of the State procured a
re-canvass of the vote, and as result of that
re-canvass was declared elected by majority
of considerable dimensions.
To persons who sincerely desire to arrive
at the truth in this matter it is necessary
only to peruse the document referred to. No
more conclusive proofs could be obtained
than the calm, judicial treatment of the case
as relates to the electoral vote of Florida.
If, after reading the brief report of the COM
mittee under this head, any man can say that
Hayes was honestly elected to the office he
now holds, that man is past conviction OF
error.
AS to Louisiana it is very evident that the
committee has labored under doubts. The
character of the witnesses from that State
was not such as to inspire respect. Ander.
son, Weber, Mrs. jerks, and one or two
others were wholly unworthy of credence
and though they created a sensation in the
brief hour they stalked upon the stage, the
committee discards their evidence entirely
as of no account whatever. Stress is laie
upon the fact, however, that while the Hayes
electors received three thousand votes les
than Packard, the former were declared
chosen, while the latter was deprived O

one had read the evidence presented on the

the same time holding by the bride. The
startled horses not liking this mode of punish
ment, plunged about for a few moments, and
then started down the road at full speed. The
driver chung to the bride for short distance,
the hvofs of the horse striking him in various
places. His strength giving out, he was COM
PEELED to let go, and as he FELL the horses hoof
struck him over the eye, making bad cash,
and rendering him insensible. The team did
not run great way before they slackened their
speed, and were caught by couple of gentle
