Senator Richardson's new state house
bill was launched In the Senate under
favorable auspices to-day. Its author
makes the point that any objection OH the
score of increased taxes, lack Of funds,
&c., is disarmed by the provision TINT the
redemption OF the bonds, from the sale Of
which the fund is to be provided, is ex-
tended over term OF 80 years.
A little discussion in the House over
committee rooms to-day called attention
to one of the shortcomings OF the exist
ing buildings. The rooms on the third
floor arc usRble, and that is about as
much az can be said for them. A few
days ago the Revised Statutes COMMITTEES,
which was engaged in hearing argument
from Attorney-general Biggs In opposi.
ton to the bill to amend the law in reiA

When the bill changing the name of
Duck creek to Smyrna river came MP for
passage in the House to-day, Speaker
Hohecker took the door and explained that
1t was easier TO secure congressional action
for rivers than for greeks. WeAtern ocn-
gressmep regard creek as something that
runs dry in summer and hasn't much
water in its winter bed. He wanted to
give the stream designation compatible
with the 80 900 600 worth Of annual
commerce it bears. W. T. Davis remarked
that John M. Clayton caught on to this
idea many years ago when he elevated
Mahon's ditch to Mshon river ip urging
en- appropriation for the same.
Early in the session state Treasurer
Herbert sent in q communication which
reeited, among Other things, that the
State owes So, $50 IS, with interest for 20
for school books, warrants for
the payment OF which State Superinten-
dent Williams neglected to draw. The
state treasurer asked for enabling lepisla-
lion under which to pay these bills. Rep
Of A. y. Barnes Il Co., Phiia-
delphia, and of Harper & Brothers, New
York, have been here to-day for the
second time looking after their share of
this money. The claims are no doubt
just, and arrangements for paying the
same will be made.
