So far as the spectators were con- cerned the most interesting proceed ings in the legislature yesterday were at the night session of the council, tEe ora tory being the chief feature. Two speeches were made by Mir Ives, two by Mir. Ashurst. one by Dr. Whiteside, and one by Judge Kibbcy. The actual business Ire :is2 ted occupied but q few minutes. It comprised the confirma- tion Of q long list of appointments sent in by Governor Brodie, the postpone ment until this morning of action on q motion to recons Ter the vote defeat ing the "BUcky'F O'Nein monument bill. and the indefinite postponemeat O: the house S-hour bill. But it was II o'clock before this had been 2ccomp- Hshed, althousht the council met at s.
 There was q report current yester- day afternoon that the defeat of the O'Neiil monument bill earlier in the day was intended to be temporary Cnis- and that the republican members ana the democratic members from Cocnise and Graham, MT. Packard and Mir. Rice, intended 10 vote fer the bill and pass it today. This report could Rot D., verified, but it gave the foxy Mir. Ives chance to make q spectacular play to the galleries in q speech tienouEcins 4r. Packard and MT. Rice and the re- publican members. As soon as the council convened, MT. Morehead made Q motion that the council reconsider its vote on the monument blu. Immediate F thereafter, however, the governors secretary appeared with the executive nominations, and MT. Afo7ehead's r4o= tton was held in abeyance pending ac- tion on the list of appointments. By unanimous consent the council pro ceeded to consider the ncmina lions in open executive session, and they were confirmed with celerity and unaRimity until the name Of the Hon. B. A.

Ives said. was Mir Packard. And then Mir. Packard was treated to all the abuse of which the extensive vocabu- lary of the speaker would permit in parliamentary language, even to the ex- tent of suggesting that MT. Packard Mir Rice, Judge Ilibbey, MT. Chiids Mir. Corbett, MT. JarEis and Mir. Woods were guilty of crimes which should send them to the penitentiary. The
 crlme," as near as could De made out. consisted in the fact that these seven members of the council had refused to Ge led arouEd by MT.
