THE HOUSE.
The only incident of the morning session
of the House aside from the first reading of
Senate bills, was the adoption of resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Shanks, designed to curb
the eloquence of the members for the re-
mainder of the session. In the afternoon
two important amendments to the bill as to
the grading of wheat were admitted, and the
bill was passed. Then score and half of
House bills were passed, and nearly an equal
number of Senate bills were favorably con-
siaered. The question of whether or not
new State prison should be contracted for
was disposed of in somewhat summary
manner, Notwithstanding the heroic efforts Of
Speaker Gilman to save his bill. The matter
was placed beyond the power of the present
legislature to act upon it, by being indefinite
" postponed, and q motion to reconsider the
vote being served with a like fate. The
passage Of Senate bills consumed the re-
mainder of the session.
