usual
Both houses have devoted more time than
usual during the week to Legitimate legls.
lative business, and a number of bills OF
more on less importance have been either
passed or materially advanced. Among
them may be named the passage by the Sc
nate of bill Of some importance protect
ing persons who have made payments on
| life insurance policies from losing such
payments by forfeiture. A bill has also
passed the senate allowing insurance com,
panies to insure against loss by tornadoeS,
&c. Also a bill amending the mechanics
lien law, so as TO extend the time 10 com
mence suits to two years. Also a bill for
the appointment by the Governor of state
agent to prevent cruelty TO animals, TO be
stationed at Peoria And the senate on
Thursday passed an important bill appro.
priating 100000 for the erection of state
Soldiers Home. The senate also ordered
TO third reading the house bill to increase
the per diem of jurors to 50.
The house, after wasting some more time
in wrangling over the number and pay Of
supernumary employees, such as pages,
special police, &c finally passed bill to
pay up arrearagcs and cut down the list
for the future. Then a couple of days We're
spent on bill to appropriate 100000 "to
restore the state house to the condition il
was in when work on it was stopped The
bill was "A Springfield contrivance to add
lust that amount to the $53l 900 voted by
the people for the completion of the state
house, and as such was voted down as an
attempted grab. The senate bill to in
crease the number of judges in each circuit
to four has been ordered to third reading
in the house and will doubtless become a
law.
Both houses on Wednesday unanimously
adopted resolutions recommending that the
excursion to New Orleans be abandoned
until the business of the session is compile
ted, and afterwards it was further resolved
to place upon the record the names OF all
the senators and representatives, who Joined
the excursion Yet it is stated positively
that 60 representatives and 20 senators have
Joined the excursion, and that, as it was to
leave at 10 o'clock last night and be gone
all next week, the legislature as good as
stands adjourned for ten days.
