der of the Bay for TO-Dayss Session Charges of Conspiracy - House Proceedings.
 HARTFORD, March 25.-[Special. ]-The senate spent the greater part of the day in discussing the Seymour bill, which is again made the order of the day for to- morrow. The house transacted business and took recess until tomorrow.
 The Senate.
 The senate convened at II a. m., but immediately took recess until 12:30 p. m., when they again came together and took another recess until ? P. m., for further discussion in caucus by the demo- crats of the Seymour bill. At 3 p. m. the senate again convened. Senator Hall, dem., of the Sixth, said that knowing that Judge Morris had been elected gover- nor of the state, he could not favor the Judson bill, neither did he favor section 5, of the amendment known as the Sey- mour resolution.
 Senator Shumway, rep, of the Sixteenth moved that the senate lay aside the pend- ing question and took up senate joint resolution number IA, which is the Foster bill introduced in the senate yesterday. He said that he desired vote of the sen- ate on the matter, and would move to table other measures so that vote might be taken on the Foster bill, before being taken on the other resolution.
 Senator Seymour objected to this mo tion, on the ground that further time should be given for the discussion of the Seymour bill.
 Senator Shumway withdrew his motion for the time being, and Senator Seymour began his argument in favor of his bill ;, during which he said: This bill seems to me both fair, just and sure way out of the difficulty. It has been objected to by some, but on the other hand supported by many of both parties. It has been freely said that MT. Bulkeley said that he should hold the office of gov ernor for two years to come. Whether he intends so to do or not do not know. This bill is framed to bring the issue be- tween Judge Morris and General Merwin, and it would be folly for them to contest the question without one or the other talk ing their seat of office. It is said that MT. Bulkeley does not agree with the house in continuing the first day, and holds that it is impossible now to elect anyone, as it is past the second day. Had MT. Bulkeley turned over his room to Judge Morris on the first day there would have been no deadlock to-day. It has been said that it was essential for the existence of the republican party that they hold in their party the county com. missioners, and that the deadlock is kept up for this reason. This has not been denied, and I shall introduce bill for g rigid examination into the facts as stated above. do not contend for details ir this bill, but in the main the bill is fail and I think 8 just one. It is this bill or some modification of it that must be adopted or you have two years rule by MT. Bulkeley I believe this bill does not recede from any l stand already taken, and I should like tt see an aye and nay vote on this question | in the house and senate.
 Senator Pierce, dem., of the Fourth saic l he did not believe in sending any bills t. the house to have them spit upon. Al the house desires to do is to keep the pres less of right, justice or anything else, ant I don't believe in sending such bills t, them. What is the use of wasting ou time in sending bills and going on our knee to men of no principle. I think we hat better stop right now and serve notice o1 1 the house that we will not deal with them I will say right here that while I do no ] think badly of the Seymour bill and I sa. that will not vote for it under any con sideration as deem it useless.
 Senator Cleveland, dem, of the Firs said: The house did not dare to put to yea and nay vote the question of stat officers and here on this floor is a senate who wants to concede. I thank the sena matter. On the house rests the entir blame of this thing and on them mus come the responsibility.
 Senator Seymour-I would ask the Sen ator from the First if some such bill doe not pass, will not Mir. Bulkeley hold offic for two years, and would ask him doe he not favor such hold over. If he doe not, he should introduce better bill ( vote for this. This matter should be pu to an aye and nay vote in the house, an then would be seen on whom the blam must rest for the deadlock. I do not COT tend for any of the particular features c this bill, as objected to, but I do believ in doing something, instead of rejectin every bill which comes up before us
 believe the best way to serve the people dc for them something to get over this di fculty.
 Senator Cleveland-1 want it understoo now in answer to the senator from tn Thirteenth, that on the first day of tn session the senate declared the democrati state officers elected A member from th house admitted on the floor of the hous that there was conspiracy to keep dead lock, and the leaders of the house hay conspired together against the constitutio of the state. Here Senator Shumwa asked that the clerk record the languag of the senator from the First, which | did.
 Senator Mead, rep. of the Twelfth, sai that in the caucus nothing was said abou rejecting the Seymour bill as alleged, br that it was voted to give it all due consit eration.
 Senator Holden here moved to adjour until tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock, which m, tion was carried.
