On motion OF Seawell, the use ofthe Assembly

the women citizens OF the State, and prescribing
their qualifications as electors
AT l2:40 O'Clock recess was taken until P. II.
Afternoon Session.
Reeonvened at o'clock, Speaker Howe in the
chair
The committee substitute for tweuty-three As
sembly bills, relating 10 the county ana town
ship governments, was read second time and
amended.
The special order the reconsideration of the
vote by which was passed a. B. 46, TO declare
arrangements, contracts, trusts, or com bjnatiOnS
in restraint of trade ami production, unlawful
and to fix the peualty therefor, was postponed
from until O'Clock. At that hour 1t was
called up by Hall the author, and Solomon i'm
mediately proceeded 10 read substitute. which
he proposed to offer for the bill in case the vote
upon it was reconsidered.
Reynolds spoke in favor of Salomon's sub
stitute.
McMullin spoke il favor of sustaining the
original bill, and wanted 70 know why the San
Francisco delegation had suddenly changed
their minds concerning trusts" He minated
strongly that they had smelied of q sack in
the meantime.
Reynolds denied that there was any concert
of action amongst the members from San Fran
cisco. He had spoken only for himself
Ostrom agreed with MeMullin that the San
Francisco members were acting very queerly
in this matter. Solomon had been several
weeks in preparing his substitute. OstrC m then
read from newspaper the text OF an anti trust
bill recently pa>s >sed by an Indiana Legislature,
whiih contained much stronger provisions than
the one under consideration.
Z niSon said that Salomon had claimed for
the last two W, eks that he was geetting up his
substitute in the interest of the people, bnt he
had OF shown his good faith in the matter.
He should have offered his substitute sooner
i hen II might have become law. But the
mountain had labored and brought forth Il
mouse. For me SINGULAR cause the San Fran
cisco members had changed their views and
tactics.
Damron regretted that some members had
thought it necessary to ref ct upon the honesty
of some other members with regard to this bill.
alton by the Committee on Judiciary, he re-
garded it with favor But after more careful
scrutiny he had concluded that II would fail TO
reach some OF the evils it was intended to do
away with.
St5rke was astonished 10 find member of the
committee opposed TO til c bin. Heproeeeded to
read the bill aud point out that it could not well
be improved upon. He thought it met the de.
mands of the people.
Seawell was also in favor of the bill and
thought the objections of Salomon and Damron
were not well founded This bill was a crystal
liZation of the sentiment of both political par
ties and should become law.
McCarty rose TO question of privilege. He
stated that while h was at e rear of the
Chamber some one with malice aiorethought
had nailed his silk hat 10 his desk with Chinese
tacks evidently with the determination that it
should stay there In short, his tile was ruined
and he did not think that was right.
The Speaker agreed with him that it was not
right.
reynolds said that later on he would offer a
resolution 10 cover McCartys hat.
Regan moved the previous question.
Then followed numerous yellS for a call ofthe
House, motions to adjourn, previous question,
etc, until the Speaker, in desperation, sat down
and d. clared that he would do thing until
they subsidized and Stopped filibustering.
The Clerk cut the goIdan knot by proceeding
with the roll-call on the question of having
call of the house. Ayes 80, noes IS.
Reyno ds gained the floor and hoped these
nonsensical motions would not prevail any
longer.
Then the roll was called on adjournment
The Speaker, at $50 and without announcing
the vote, declared recess until 7S0 when
Major McCariy would be in the chair.

morrow.
Ostrom said he was done with this nonsense.
! He was like the old preachers chicken. be was
ready to lie down and be tied, if they would
| only get down to business
| Storke said those were his sentiments, too.
| Solomon and Briekwedel raised points OF
order.
| Hyde said the opposition which had devel-
| oped here To-Day was directed against the mem
| bejs OF the e. A. r.
| Hail Indignantly denied the charge.
storke wanted the absentees brought in and
| made to vote on this question. He was a mem
Der of the A. K. himself and had won that
| distinction as honorably as had Mr.. Hyde.
Reynolds insisted that the business before the
/ House was the previous question.
| Hall said he had been insuited ON the floor to-
| day by the offering of substitute, ano he would
return the compliment before the session was
| over.
Solomon said it was false and he defied the
| gentleman from Santa Cruz.
| The Speaker said these questions of veracity
| should be referred to the Committee on Public
| Morals.
Hyde asked if Hall would consent that the
bill should go over until Friday.
Hall said he knew that the bill was as coed
| as beaten already. Some mysterious influence
| had caused the AN Francisco members to
! change their minds regarding it. But he would
| not agree to q postponement He wanted the
| climax to come now.

| WHEREAS, The elet ant silk hat which u.ually
| adoIn the distinguished head of Assemblyman
Alct arty, and fttipgly crowns his dignifed sta
tue, has. during his temporary absence, been
turreptiti0usly, wilfully, maliciously, although
| perhaps somewhat umor0usly, secured to his
| desk by means of three heavy Chineselabor
brass headed nails: and whereas, IL is the duty
of the attaches of this Assembly TO vigi sntly
guard the property OF members of this house,
and protect such property from theft or injury:
and whereas, the said hat as it now stands, is u
fixture OF the Capitol, and quie likely to re-
main so uni IS the State Treasury rushes to the
rescue of it> owner; therefore be it
| ResolFed. That the State Controller be, and he
hereby is ordered to dra = his warrant for, and
pay to Assemblymsn Nc CCarty the sum of ten
! dollars tSl ont of the CONT gent fund Of the
| ASS mbly to enable him 10 take said hat from.
| the table and mend it in a suitable manner or
substitute for the original.

| tions to report March 18th.

would refer the resolution to the Committee on
| Silk Culture.
