Another very important Rill wi'l be discussed ou Wednesday. A Joint resolution to require and authorize the State Treasurer to publish that all bonds not met at maturity will bo extended for the term of four years, at the same rate of interest as they now bear. This Rill will provoke a long, and perhaps b tier discussion. Another measure is meeting with a great deal of opposition by insurance companies, is te rcquiro them, beforo c ttnmeiicing business, to deposit with State Treasurer 00(1 in State b tnds.
