 HARTFORD, Jan. 16. Special correspondence of the JOURNAL COURIER.
 Both branches of the Legislature met this morning at 10 o'clock. The usual attendance in the lobby was apparent and there were some additions brought about by the new issues cropping out before the Gen. eral Assembly, The Railroad committee were to have had hearing to-day on the proposed Hartford and Harlem railroad, but Senator Elton, the chairman of the committee, was detained at home on account of the illness of his wife, and the hearing was adjourned until Wednesday of next week. Hon. Lynde Har- rison and Samuel Fessenden were on hand to Iookafter the interests of the Consolidated rail road. This committee will be in session on Tuesday afternoon next to consider other matters.
 The Committee on Fisheries held brief I session to-day after adjournment and con- | sidered petition for the modification of the law for 'jack light" fishing between the | Thames and Connecticut rivers a further l hearing will be had next week. After adjournment the Committee En- grossed Bills met and organized, and voted to | meet every day after the close of the session. Hobart l.. Hotchkiss, clerk of bills, is en- gagged in drawing new law, regulating the kind and size of bills. There will be bills of this kind without number presented during the next few days. The bill requiring tick, cts to be printed on cardboard does not meet with much favor. It was suggested today that it was perhaps introduced at the sugges. tion of some cardboard manufacturer.
 There was lively discussion in the House to-day before adjournment regarding the time to which the House should adjourn. MT. Morgan, of Bridgeport, urged that the House should go on with it's business The ! House should not be content to meet two or three days in the week. He would be will ing to come together on Monday morning and work until Saturday night. This proposi tion did not seem to meet with much favor and finally it was agreed that an adjourn ment should be taken until next Tuesday al 12 o'clock by rising vote of 85 to v. | MT. Catlin, of Stratford, introduced the following bill and it went to the Committee on Banks It annuls the corporate exist ence of the Operative Savings bank of New Haven.
 | Whereas, The corporation herein named hayin, ! been chartered by the General Assembly and havin violated the law by failing to make annual returns and to do other acts required of 1t by law and hay ing ceased to exercise it's corporate powers and it desirable that its Donexistence as corporation b ! legally established, therefore
 | be IL enacted by the Senate | t1ves in General Assembly convened:
 ! section l. An act entitled act Incorporating tn Operatives Savings bank of New Haven passed b the General Assembly at the May session. A. D. 1871 and approved August ], 1872, be and the |, ! by appealed
 Section 2 It is hereby provided that nothing il this act shall be taken construed relieving said corporation from any legal obligation now exist
 n I t or any Ierson or as preventing it froI ! fairs according to law.
 : The New Haven county Republicans did no hold their caucus to day to select judge an assistant judge of the New Haven City cour on account of the illness ard absence of MT Griswold, of Guilford. At the present writ ing 1t is impossible to tell when they will so, although it is thought they may assembl for that purpose early next week. It woul appear from present indications that Judg Studley has the inside track and that he wi
 be nominated. What the status of the cas- will be when the Legislature meets mex
 week is hard to determine, as Judge She dons friends are making strong fight fo o first place."
