 HARTFORD, Feb. 1. Special Correspondsnce of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 It was very quiet about the corridors of the Capitol to-day and comparatively little business was transacted, The Senate was not in session and all the business done was by the House.
 There was considerable gossip indulged in regarding executive appointments, there being considerable feeling because ex Lieu tenant Governor Hyde had been nominated on the Board of Agriculture. There is evil dently a first-cass row on the tspis between the Governor and the Committee on Execu- tive Nominations and the result of the con- test will probably be developed next week l There were no committees in session to- day. the Senate having adjourned until mex Tuesday and consequently the chairmen of the several committees have gone to their respective homes. Next week, it is ex pected, will be lively one for business as no new business can be presented after Fri day, February 8. Then both houses will get down to active business. and unless there are more special acts than have at present been presented, the session should be compara- lively short and not extend beyond April 1. That this may be the case every one in any way connected with the legislature will earnestly pray, the chaplains, it g hoped, included.
