like the ID, ~
Thus, things considered, Resolved, That
tits not right ~
For Legislators to stay out II night.
That terrapin and oysters, devourea late,
Aid not the legislation of this State,
That Essex and Hudson be warned above |
all things,
To beware of Trenton's angels, without
wings,
So that when, at length, we have adjour-
ned,
Each may a second time behere returned.
Ga Monday evening Governor Lud-
low vetoed Senate bill Ill, which
authorizes corporations TO increase
their capital stock and which was
designed to affect the control of the
New Jersey Central Railroad. om
Under the rule the veto was laid
over for one day.
Mr.. Youngblood offered resolu-
tion in the Senate instructing the At
torney General to take up the case of
Secretary of State Kelsey, which was
decided by the Supreme Court last
week, to the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals, but it was laid on the table
Only three Senators voted for the
reso ution, Youngblood, Ravens and
Deacon.
Senator Taylor presented the report
Of the commissioners to investigate
the condition Of the sinking fund Of
the State, which show. loss of $20,-
600 on the property acquired by the
State, the approximate loss ofinterest
being $4,000, and the shrinkage of
the property fourty-four per cent.
A joint resolution was introduced
in the House authorizing the purchase
OF an oil painting of the late Pres
ident Garfield by the Commissioners
Of the State Library.
There seems to be profound feel
ing of dissatisfaction over the veto of
the Railroad bill. It is said that all
the railroad compaoies in the State,
wanted it to become law, and pop
ular feeling is very much in its favor.
It will undoubtedly be passed in the
Senate over the veto, but when it
comes to the House there will be q
bitter fight over it, because the influ-
ence of powerful lobby will be
directed against its passage. A we'll
known politician said, at will pass
the Senate with flourish, but there
| will be fight in the House and o
heavy expenditure of money"
