tension of time but failed. In the House
e bills we're put in and read by title only
There was abundant opportunity Tor more
II there had been any ready, bat no mem
Der seemed to want the privilege Of int
duclug further In the session of 1856
the total number D bills introduced up to
the day OF Limitation was as 50 that the
mum Der this session falls short of that of
1856 by about 40 bills, the last number to-
day being 43q The day of limitation in
1856 was November 10th, and thereafter
there were left II working days Ia which
to finish up the business. This session
there VIII be three days longer, with 10 less
bills TO consider. In the Senate this ses-
sion there are Dearly 80 less bills than in
1856 So the prospect is quite good for
getting through comfortably by Thanks
giving.
The only measures expected to occupy
any time in discussion longer than ordl-
nary will be the school bill and the woman
suffrage measure. The last named bill
was reported without comment by the jul
