Legislative Proceedings.

legislature shows that our law
makers are transacting a large
amount of business, the definite
results in the shape of Legislation
are still very meagre. The regu-
lar grist of new bills has been han
ded in each day, over 400 bills
having been introduced in both
houses. AS usual the penny wise
economist takes up valuable time
over non-essential matters and the
work is farther impeded by the
great number of unimportant
measures that are forced upon the
consideration of the members.
Some good work, however, is being
done and many important matters
will be settled ere the session clos
es. We give below some of more
important actions taken during the
past week.
SENATE.
During the past week bills have
been introduced in the senate for
