THE LEGISLATURE.

In the Senate yesterday bill No. III, to
enable the Central Railroad to increase its
stock to the amount of its indebtedness,
was passed by vote of 16 to 5, despite
the elaborate veto of the Governor. The
bill was then sent to tho House. The
consideration of the Governors veto OF
the Chancellor's Salary bill was postponed
until Tuesday next. A resolution was
adopted to inquire into the cost Of the
Ke .sy suit. Bills were passed to estab.
lish Police Courts in boroughs and to
compel telegraph companies 10 deliver
messages within mile.
In the House the resolution to adjourn
sine die on Friday was reeonsidered and
disagreed to. An amendment to the bill
for constitutional Convention that a
majority of each of eleven counties, as
we'll as majority of the State, should be
necessary to establish new constitution
was adopted. The Jersey City bridge
bin was discussed, but without definite
action. The veto of the Governor of
Senate bill No. III was laid over under
the rules until to-day, when, IL the House
agrees to the bill, MS the Senate has done,
it will become law despite the veto.
Much excitement prevailed in the lobby
but as the bill is the joint production OF
the managers of the Pennsylvania aud
Central Railroads it is supposed the bill
will pass, especially as it only requires a
bare majority to overcome the Governor IS
veto. The Gowen men in Trenton al
ready threaten to test the constitutionality
of the bill in the Courts.
The joint meeting was curious sur
prise. There were four ballots in the
effort to elect Treasurer Wright and other
Republican caucus nominees, the vote
standing each time--Republioan, 40
Democratic, 80; blank, 2. The blanks
were Messrs. Durell and Farrier, Repub.
leans, Of Jersey City, who assumed q
belligerent position on account of theii
opposition to the nomination of Mr.
Lawrence, of Jersey City, as police justice
The joint meeting was finally adjourned
to Thursday, and it is expected that som.
compromise will be effected meanwhile
II requires Al votes to elect.
