HARTFoRn5 Jan. 25. | Tspecial correspondence of JOURNAL AND ooUR1ERl | This was the ninth day of the session of l the General Assembly. The attendance was large in both houses, but the business was l small. In the lobby few struggling s'pat- l riots', were to be seen, who were looking Il after the interest of their fsclients. One would suppose from the earnestness of these l "patriots'' that they had only the interest of I the State and the localities they represent at \ heart, and-that they are only working "for the public good.''

There was feeline among the members that commi siouer after he had held the position for tV terms should give way for somebody els This was apparently the only ground of O position to Mr. Jacobs. At the request Senator Elton the assistant judgeship of u District court of Waterbury was put o' for one week. The caucus adjourned su feet to the call of the chairman.
