WEDNESDAY. MARCH 25, 1891.
LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The first action of the Senate towards breaking the existing deadlock was made last week, and was welcomed with pleasure by the people. The Judson elections bill passed by the House was discused and several amendments offer cd. But we fear this pleasure is but momentary, for when we find that so much trouble and annoyance have been caused over an affair for the result o' which one of the leaders of the party causing the obstruction now offers to cast lots, we fear the best interests of justice and of the people are jeopardized and that an equitable adjustment of the controversy is still far off
 The House on Wednesday proceeded to transact it's usual business. The res- olution re-appointing O. R. Fyler, of Torrington, insurance commissioner was adopted, and various other matters con- sidered, when it was voted to take a recess until Wednesday March 25, The Senate continued in session until Thurs day, then adjourning until Tuesday. March 24, when the Judson bill, with the various proposed amendments, is to be made the special order of the day.
 Another wise and peacable mode of settling the election contest was adopted st the instgation of the democratic Comptroller last week. A door leading from the executive chamber into the legislative hall, through which the gov ernor is accustomed to pass, was ordered to be locked. In addition to the usual lock. hasp and staple were placed up on the door which was then fastened with Yale lock. When Gov Bulkeley attempted to pass through the door. he found it impossible to do so. A crow bar was ordered, which was quickly brought and then the first force used in the contest began. It is sufficient to say that Gov Bulkeley ''got there."
 Comptroller Staub announced his in. tention of ejecting Gov Bulkeley yester. day CTuesday.) We swait the result with interest We await the result with interest We are not informed whether the comptroller intends to assume the office of governor himself, thus doing away with the "usurper" or whether he merely desires to put himself on record as . man of great authority.
 The Senate did not reach 8 vote or either of the election bills yesterday Tuesday.
