ALBANY, April 2d The calendars Of both
Houses were crowded to-day in the effort of
everybody to pass his bill. SO much o; the
time Of the Legislature has been oc'upi"d by
the troubles Of the Platt and the anti -Pat Re-
publicans that little has been ACCOMPLISHED In
the way OF legislation. although the sesSioa
has extended considerably longer than usual.
Every body was excluded from the Assembly
except the off1cials OF the House and women.
This cleaned out few score ~ tho lobbyists.
who seem inevitable attendants to every Re-
publican Legislature During the mast few
years the race Of lobbyists has gradually died
out from the Capitol. but with the coming back
OF the Republicans the Lobbyists have returned
to manage the Affairs for the rural legislators
again.

mental supply bill came up an amendUen
was inserted Of $4,000 TO continue the Grand

The object OF the contests was disclosed In the
Supplemental supply bill. where liberal np-
propriations were made for the pa yme mt OF the
| army OF Republican lawyers who were ems

| create n mass Of patronage. Twsnty.six in-
vestigaiing committees OF various Kinds have
been let loose on the State. They have en-.
| ployed about 125 lawyers. 40 or 30 clerks, -
| many deputy sergeants- alarms. and q host Of
| attendants, Tho bills for these committees
will he strung over the next two or three yenrs.
