The committee on that part of the Governor’s message which relates to temperance are prepared to report, but will not probably do #0 until Tuesday or Wednoaday of next week. There will be majority and minority reports. Mr. Stebbins, Chairman, will make the former, and Mr. Aitken, of New York, the latter. The minority will briefly argue the unconstitutionality of the prohibitory lay; will attempt to prove that the present excise laws are sufficient guard against intemperance if strictly en- forced; will recommend that no new law be passed at ally but that the existing laws be more rigidly carried out’ Itia gererally believed that their best policy would have | been to have submitted a moderate bill, which it is thought would have passed ; while the impression prevails that their failure to do so, will drive the Assembly into passing the bill reported by the majority.
