Legislative Matters.

The English sparrow will have to go. The
bill by Representative Peasants for its ex-
termination finally passed the Legislature yes
terday.
petition is in circulation among the mem
bers of the Legislature, and is receiving many
signatures, asking the Governor to appoint
Representative Smith, of Warrick, one of the
trustees of the Knightstown institution. mas
much as Mr.. Smith is member of the Legisla-
tire creating the Office it is doubtful if he is eli
gible.
Speaker Jewett entertains extreme sentiments
on the question of Furnishing horse-thieves. He
favored an amendment to the bill which passed
yesterday making the penalty for second con-
vIction imprisonment for life, and for third of
fense hanging. The amendment was defeated,
but the bill prescribes penalty of fifteen years
imprisonment for second conviction.
Representative Murphys bill for the appoint
ment OF State boiler inspector was defeated Ill
the House yesterday, but it was, by consent, af-
forwards referred to special committee, and it
will again come Up for action with the provision
authorizing the appointment OF an inspector
omitted, and embodying only the part requiring
engineers to hold license from an examining
board.
A brief and formal response to the Senate
resolution expressing approval of President
Cleveland's inaugural address was received yes
teriay. The resolutions were telegraphed and
the answer by letter. in fifteen words, from the
Presidents private secretary, simply stating,
1.-THE President directs me to acknowledge the
receipt of your Communication of the 9th
instant is not likely to inspire the Democratic
members of the Legislature with uncomfortable
enthusiasm.
The bill appropriating 800 600 for the expenses
of the special session was passed yesterday.
Senator Foulke favored deferring action upon it
until after the House had sent the general APP
preparation bill to the Senate, which, he thought.

the latter but there were too many members
who were impatient to get their per diem to listen
to the proposition He thought it would look
bad to the people for the Legislature to SO hur-
riedly pass a bin for paying themselves while no
appropriation has been made, although the Gen
eral Assembly has been in session for nearly
three months, for paying the expenses Of the
State government.

The proceedings of the Senate were opened
with prayer yesterday morning by Representa-
tive Fraz,e
Mr. Sellers introduced bill Is. 1861 to author
lie the formation of companies to manage hotels
at mineral springs, which, on his further mo-
ton, under a dispensation of the constitutional
restriction, was pressed to the final vote and
passed the Senate. Mr.. Foulke, in explaining
his negative vote, said the State has gone far
enough in extending powers to voluntary associ-
stion, and there is necessity for further legis
htion in that direction.
On motion of Mr.. May the bill 81. R. 1861 to
pay j. p. Works and other members of the
lower House, for extra committee work in 1870
$l55 each. was also pressed through three read

Mr.. Weir asked consent to call up the bill is.
537l to appropriate 500, coo for the expenses of
the General Assembly during the special session.
The presiding officer Mr. Rahml heard no OBJ
lection. and ordered the bill taken up. Mr..
Foulke and Mr.. Youche appealed from the de-
csion of the chair in directing the clerk to read
the bill, upon the ground that no opportunity to
object was given and that the Senate never con-
sented to such an order. On motion by Mr.
Willard the appeal was laid on the table by yeas
26 NAYS IL. Mr.. Foulke moved to postpone the
consideration of the bill until day at o'clock.
The bill was read the second time. Mr. Weir
demanded the previous question. Mr.. Forlke
desired to offer amendment by substituting
the general appropriation bill, which could not
be done under the demand for the previous
question. The Senate seconded the de-
inand for the question, and under its operation
the bill passed by yeas 81, nays l.
On motion by Mr.. Magee the bill is. 296l to

look honest" Senator Foulke said, 'for US to ap

fuse to appropriate money to pay other cred
itors of the State" On motion by Mr.. Willard

There is some probability that the Legislature

on April 4. and although therein bsen no agree
mont reached. the matter was talked
of quite favorably yesterday, and a
number Of the moro prominent members
in both the Senate and House expressed
the opinion to the Journal representative that
the session would end on about the 4th or 9th of
next month. There are only five more counties
TO be called on the pending order of business in
the House, and there is no good reason why all
the necessary legislation can not be disposed of
easily within ten days The bill levying tax of
cents on the 500 for continuing the
construction of the new State-house
was yesterday made a special order
for consideration this afternoon. After
it has been passed there will remain but two
other bills of recognized public Importance for en-
actment-the general and specific appropria-
Iions The preliminary consideration of the
general appropriation bill will be concluded and
the pending order of business disposed of during
this week If the House works with any degree of
diligence. All the essentially important bust
ness could be transacted if the House were dis
posed to do it, in time for adjournment early
next week, but the session will be unnecessarily
prolonged several days by the endeavor of mem
bers to get favorite bills through However, it
seems to be tacitly understood that there will be
an adjournment before the session expires by
April 6, which will be one week from next

The driving storm of Friday night. and
