The Ildpuhlicans think it will help their party and the Democrats fair that it will hurt theirs, bacauae it coolains bo many falae statements regarding the Bay State. We bare bad a horrible succession of accidents, a hotel burned with nearly all iu inmates, then a railroad train burned with nearly all iu passengers, and now a splendid steamer sank in a moment, with nearly all on board. And they combine all the gamut of cauaea— unavoidable accident, gram carelessness, and— must we ay I criminal intention.

The role in the Senate against striking col the cheap postage provision from the Post-office Appropriation hill sras strong and decisive.

The Iyglvlature held a short acssioo 1 Mqnday night. Several new bills were irtioduoeil. The most important mesjure was offered by Senator Merrill, of Camden, entitled "An' act to prevent rail- 80 rood monopoly in the State of New Jer- sti and to pnvraff corporatlrata not now P» operating and am trolling private or com- an pctifiveraHtnads from hereafter operating tb or cootrotltng the rame and to srenre to. of - -freighter* on railroad* within Hie Slate <4 Uie benefits of r.-asoqabie and rxiating P - roilrresrt competition and to protect the * rights of minority stockholder*.'" ta The bill is principally aimed at the a ' Camden and Atlantic and West Jersey w Roads.

Senator N icbols presented proposed amendments to the Constitution tl I on the following points : Extending' the * t term of Senator* f rom lh recto four year* and o: I the term of Assemblymen from one to two U year*; recommending biennial sessions of li the Legislature and correcting a clerical error In the Constitution relative to the E ■ appointment of Common Pleas Judges, -e There wis sn,unuiually large gathering it of politicians of both parties in town the n same evening, drawn by the excitement q 1 of the Senatorial contest. On Jhe Demo- h ' cratic aide McPberaoo'a friends pushed P * the canvass with great vigor. Senator It ( M IDer, of Cape May. obtained during the a I afternoon the signatures of a majority of I the Democratic members to a call for a b caucus after the acasaioo that night, and it si [ was determined to hold it at that time. In h , spite of the threats of a clique of members o ' to stay out and break any arrangement n . made in llic caucus. The Assembly ad.

Ac- j, eerdingly, the Republican caucus which p held Frilay evening decided to brine p the Tariff bill immediately after the c bill is disposed of, and they will e endeavor to limit debate so that no need be wasted.
