Legfslattce.-1n the House Monday
evening Mr.. Hetzel's bill to invest COM
missioners of Allegany county with
power to reduce the rate of interest on
insane asylum bonds from to Al per
cent, was passed.
During the same evening a lar
occurred between Nessrs. Cochlane and
Grove, which, the Baltimore Herald
says, grew out of an order introduced
by Mr.. Cochrane to change the date
of the local option law for that county
from November to June II. The
exciting dialogue between these dele
gates was generally entertaining to the
House. Mr.. Randall finally inter-
posed and, by motion, recommitted

tons to act upon the amendment"

was passed.
In the House same day the bill to
provide for marking the division lines
between Allegany and Garrett counties
was substituted for an unfavorable
report. The Baltimore Sun says "the

tlons of those counties, and as Ale
gany has four and Garrett only two
delegates, the Allegany delegation had
things all their own way, but the Bal
tlmore city delegation and others came
to the rescue of the Garrett men and
substituted the bill as stated. The
Herald refers to ii lively discussion be-
tween DR.. Speicher, of Garrett, and
Mr.. Hetzel, of Allegany, touching the
matter.
