 On motion of Mir, Sanford, of Bedding, the bill amending an act relating to estates of de- ceased persons and insolvent debtors was taken from the table and rejected.
 The resolution concerning appointments to positions in the civil service of the United States was called from the table by Mr. Klrtland, of Old SaybrooI, and put on its passage. The text of the resolution is as follows:
 That employment in the civil service of the United States should be open to all citizens in the order of their fitness for official work, and should not depend on the favor of pat rons, nor on ability to increase the vote of 9. party or control it's caucuses.
 That for the sake of securing systematic, practical application of these principles, we request our Senators and Representatives in Congress to use all proper efforts for the passage of the bill now pending in the United States Senate, known as the Pendleton bill, or of some similar and equally effective measure.
 Mir. Robbins, of Wethersfeld, who intro duced the resolution, gained the floor in sup port of it's passage. He held that argument was hardly necessary in defense of the reso- Iution, It recommended itself, he said, to the sense of right and justice of every think or and patriot. Civil service corruption was one of the principal evils to be guarded against Tn our system of government.
  amendment requiring that in the making of appointments, other things being equal, pref erence should be given to honorably dis charged soldiers and sailors; also that the Connecticut delegation should not be restrict ed to the support of the Pendleton bill, but should have liberty of action Mir. Owen said he was in favor of civil service reform and agreed practically with what lad been sad by the gentleman from Wethersfeld.
 Mir. Ripley said he should not sit tamely in his seat and listen to the arraignment of the two great parties which had been made. All parties were in favor of having the public business done on business basis. He did not believe the Legislature ought to give in- structions to the States delegation at Wash ington.
 Mir. Robbins denied that he had arraigned either political party, and held that he had been misrepresented
 Mr. Ripley-The gentleman from Wethers-
 field remarked that the Democratic party had been our teachers in corruption, and we had become apt pupils.
 Mr Robbins-The gentleman from Weth- ersfeld did not say anything of the kind.
 Mir. Cowles, of Pennington, said he should like the resolution better if Connecticut could be substituted for the United States. Messrs. Robertson of New Haven, and Sill. of Hartford attempted turn of the tables on the hepuDl1caHS, cuaTS bHdL buo STOSSeSG frauds, from stealing the presidency to rob- ping mail bags, had been perpetrated by their party. They we're willing to admit that the alleged frauds exist, and they hoped that the Republicans would not be divided in support ing measure which has civil service reform for its object.
 Mir. Johnson said he should support the resolution either originally reported or amended. The spirit was the same in either case. The country has had civil service in it's purest form until the days of Andrew Jackson. With his administration began the corruption of the spells system. Would the Democratic party ask for civil service reform if they ex- pected to be in power four years from now i? They knew that they would be out of power then as now
 Mir Sill. in reply to some remarks from Mir. Johnson, said the proudest thing in his political career WAS his vote for Horace Gree ley in 1872, the ablest man that had ever been born on American soil. The debate was continued by Mr. Gillespie, of Stamford, and MT. Scoield, also of fStam- ford.
 striking out the instructions to the delegation at Washington, was opposed by MT Taylor of Danbury and MT. Robbins. Mir. Cooley, of Hartford, was opposed to the resolution on the ground that'it passage would accomplish nothing, He stood he said on the principle of Andrew. Jackson. that to the victor belong the spells. But he would legislate that manhood should be the title by which every man should have office The successful party of the future will be the one which shall serve the country best. He hoped the resolution would not pass. Mir. Thurber, of Putnam, moved the pre- vious question, which was ordered, being on Mir. Paiges amendment. On vote it was lost.
 An amendment by Mr.. Cowles, of Farm ington, substituting the word Connecticut for United States, was lost.
 The vote was now taken on the resolution as amended by Mir. Owen and was carried. The bill incorporating the borough of Shel- ton was passed under suspension of the rules; transmitted to the Senate on motion of MT. Congdon.
 Mir. Coogan, of Windsor Locks, intro duced resolution relating to tke disband- ment of Company I of the First regiment admitted under suspension of the rules and referred to the Committee on Military Af- fairs The text of the resolution was as fol- lows: That the disbandment of Company I of the First regiment of the National Guard of the State of Connecticut fer inefficiency was due to the disadvantageous circumstan- ces under which the inspection thereof was made rather than to the condition or want of efficiency of the company. - At l o'clock, on motion of Mir. Cooley of Hartford, the House adjourned uutil 10 a. m. Wednesday,
