and adjourned to-day. despite the organized
effort OF the Democratic managers to prevent 1t.
without acting upon a single bill. AS soon as the
Republican State Committee. which also met
here this morning, and the leaders OF the House

the session, adding useless expense they sug-
gested joint conference OF the Senator'S and

Democratic scheme failed.
As was expected New-Jerseys Executive
vetoed the Elective judiciary bill; for had he
signed 1t. about fifty Democratic politicians now

politically dccaptated. The Marriage License
and Naturalization bills were vetoed. were
also several other measures. These veto mes
