 HARTFORD, March z. Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The principal topic of conversation about the Capitol to-day has been the correspond ence between Governor Waller and Judge Birdsall which was published in the New Haven Palladium this morning as antici- pated by your correspondent.
 There seemed to be to day but one opinion among men of all political shades of politics regarding the matter, and that was that it was species of journalism that would not Said prominent Republican to your core spondent to day: "This is private corre- spondence between individuals and the pub hcation of it is not what gentlemen should give to the world, and it probably would not have been given except for the appointment of MT. Hyatt as bank commissioner. Demo cratic members of the General Assembly do not find anything in the letters to compromise Governor Waller in any way. They say that thers is nothing in them that reflects in any way upon his excellency, and that while Birdsall has virtually dug his political grave Governor Waller will continue to be. az from the beginning, the fearless and brave champion of Democratic principles that he has always been.
 It being really Democratic fight the Re pubIicans have no particular interest in it, but are laughing in their sleeves that the fight has commenced and naturally hope that it will continue. Unless the breach is healed. it is quite sure that it will be ''big club' to be used against the Democratic party in the next eubernatorial election, and it being g Presidential year the success ot the Dem, ocrats in the State will necessarily be very much abridged.
 The principal fight in the House today was on the Hartford and Harlem bill, which has been at the foot of the calendar for some day s. On motion of Mir. Hubbard of Hartford the hearing, on motion of MT. Law, of New Haven, was postponed until Wed nesday. Mir. Case opposed the postponement in vigorous speech in opposition, but on g yea and nay not he was defeated, and Mir Laws motion prevailed. This does moi indicate what the final disposition of the bill will be, although the advocates of Hartford and Harlem are jubilant and claim that they have scored point that will result in fina success. It is well understood that if this bill passes the quo warranto proceedings against tue Hartford and Harlem now pend ing in the Superior court for Fairfield county requiring the company to show that ! they are legally organized will be quashed if the bill does not pass, then the hearing | question at issue.
 | Looking over the ground to day, it would appear that there is no reason why an ad | jonrnment should not be effected by the 25tl of the present month. Of course there arr a great many speeches being prepared b. representatives from the rural districts tha will have to be fired otf'' for the benefit o their constituents, but with Mir. Case, o Granby, who is one of the most able leader that has been on the floor of the House fo years, it would seem that superauous debat on important matters may be Rreatl abridged and the same be brought to promI l conclusion.
 This being Friday but little business va transacted in the committee rooms to day Tn fact the work of the committees or mos of them is nearly completed, and next wee is looked forward to for prompt reports and rapid disposition of legislative business.
 Following is 8 summary of the bushes transacted in he.Senate and House to day.
