Both Houses of the
Legislature.

| General Assembly experienced rush OF
business to-day which was without proce-
dent. In the Senate twenty acts
were given notice Of while In the House
seventy five bills were s.annouuced to be
introduced before the SO sion comes to a

first aud second readings Of q dozen bills
and the passage or several othors, kept
busy the mem bcrs of both Houses through
out the day. Tonight the general cor
poration law will bo considered by the

that body OF the performance of an oner-
Gus duty at q day session. From now
until tho close Of tho session both Houses
will spend their tins in passing on at

cannot DO trsnsantsd in the twelve re-
manning days of the session AM are con-
sequently devising some manner Of ex-
tending tho session uutil such time after
March, 8 as the business con be disposed
Of. No definite plan has been devised as
