test from Senator Fassett against the largo number
OF people who visit the Senate Chamber every day
and annoy the Senators by the confusion which they
make The President Of the Senate laid the cause
OF this confusion to Senator Fassctts inability to az.
tend properly 10 the duties OF tho presiding officer.

lished in several New-York papers, and IN carefully
prepared speech proceeded to explain his position in
the matter. He admitted that he had sent passes to
many newspaper editors, and twenty more mad been
distributed among prominent of this city, There
are 100000 people in Albany and II in this proper
ton passes have been distributed throughout the State
there is no wonder that the Senate Chamber is
stantly crowded with strangers. Mr. Jones added to
his uncomplinentary remarks Of last Friday that he
was not responsible for the inability OF President
Fassett to preside.
Senator Fassett did not reply Immediately. lie
waited until later In the evening, when he stated his
case in quiet, dlgnfed and becoming manner.

pose Of allowing the new member to become
