matter is growing too notorious of late TO
be ignored this bill will owe its
passage through the House, II 1t should
pass, largely to the same influence which
has retarded up to to-day action on the
National Security Life Insurance 90. bill,
(Gnd by this no reflection is cast upon
DR.. Richardson for his former outspoken
attack on this measure); which has put
forward the bill TO knock out the State
militia's annual enoampment; which
killed the Eckles "Quart bill. and which
has made its presence felt in other
measures where there has been a chance
OF anything in it," It has for some
time been pertinent question, in con-
Hidering the outlook for any measure, to
ask IL Henry Cannon and Clerk Gum are
taking a hand for or against IL, and men,
bers on both sides OF the House agree
that 1t is nearly time something were said
by the press respecting the indelicacy, to
draw II mildly, OF an officer Of the House
giving cause for the connection Of his
name with SO many Hobbies.
DELAWARE AND NEW ENGLAND.
The House committee also agreed to-
night to report fsvorably on the Delaware
ard New England Company charter,
which, it will be remembered, is designed
to make available, for the purposes of
| through traffic, the Poughkeepsie bridge
over the Hudson aud branches OF railway
east and west thereof.
