ASSEMBLY.

The Assembly met at 2P. NJ, Speaker LaRue
in the chair. Fifty members answered to their
names, and the others We're granted leave of alb
sence - on account of sickness in their family"
Outside of the members, there were eight others
in the chamber, including the Chaplain and
three reporters, making iftyeght persons in all.
Storle moved that the special orders be con-
tinued until Tuesday, at 10 \. NJ. Carried.
Assembly Bills Nos. A., Sc and 81 We're passed
on the file.
Assembly Bill No. I0-the celebrated Dovle-
LeVerson- Barry bill-came next on the file. The
last-named author moved that it be passed.
Mr. Cutter objected to the poStponement. If
the House was not full it was the fault of mem
bers who ought to be present and in their seats
after three days receSs-at the expense of the
State. If the object of the delay was farther
caucussing, he also objected for there had al
ready been ample time afforded for all the con-
nubiating the majority could desire. The peo-
pie were growing weary and disguised with the
inaction of the Legislature: they wanted mem
berS to do something, TO quit and not stay in
session all summer The Senate had been
blamed for consuming five weeks in the active
and careful consideration of this bill. Yet here
was the Assembly, without any reason assigned,
and with nothing else on hand TO occupy its at
tention, twice postponing its consideration. For
one he was tired of this method of doing or
rather not doing business and was confident he
not only voiced the sentiment of his own con-
stituents, but that of the majority of the people
irrespective of party. when he urged the House
to proceed with the consideration of the amend
mcnts proposed by the Senate to the bill and
either concur or refuse to concur in them. The
Democratic party had a large majority in the
Assembly, and it would surely be held account
able for this useless waste oftime at the cost of
the taxpayers of the State.
Upon the ayes and noes being taken it was
ordered that the bin be passed on the file.
Assembly Bill No. So introduced by Storke
relative to the assessment of mortgages, was
read first time.
Johnston of Napa introduced the following
bill. which was referred TO the Judiciary Com
mittec:
