 GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOTES.
 One of the most interesting measures which has been introduced today was MT. Knights arson bill. It is intended to put a stop to the barn and gin burning which has been so prevalent in the agricultural districts of the state for the past year. The first section of the bill reads as follows:
 Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Alabama, That any person who willfully sets fire to or burns any corn crib, or corn pen, containing corn, any stable, containing at the time any live stock, or any gin house, containing at the time any cotton, or any cotton house, or cotton pen, containing at the time any cot ton, is guilty of arson in the first degree, hn u death.
 MT. O'Brien's bill to give the convict's family one-half of his hire is generally approved. The state, of course, gets the other half. The equity of the measure is apparent, since the ends of justice are met by the punishment of the man, and it is not intended that 1t shall be visited upon his dependent family.
 Reference to yesterdays predictions of the Advertiser and the AGE- HERALD with reference to tLe senate committee chair manships will testify to the faith to be i'm posed in this papers, news service. The AGE-HERALD called the turn on every com- mittee it guessed at.
 One of the most energetic and valuable members of the house is the one-armed Presbyterian minister from Florence, MT. Ott. This is Mr. Otis second term, and he gives promise of being as he was before, an exceedingly useful member.
 The first bill carried through the house and sent to the senate was that providing for the confirmation of the charter of the Selma Driving association and extending police jurisdiction to the fair grounds there. The speaker was somewhat embarrassed as to what committee he should refer MT .. Forman's bill to incorporate the Coosa River Singing association. The rules do not provide for committee on music.
 Out of the 100 members of the house only two are named Smith. There are only two other gentlemen with tbe same name in the body-the Messre. Williams.
