A bill somewhat similiar was introduced at the regular session and after being twice referred to the committee waa killed. Mr. W. H. Miler, of the South ern Railway, appeared before the commitee yesterday and argued at some length against the proposed bill. After considering a number of local bills the Senate Judiciary Committee No. 2 yesterday afternoon took up the bill introduced by Senator Nimocks, to require the Attorney General to re side at the capital during his term of office and devote his whole time to the duties of his office, abolishing the of fice of assistant attorney general, and increasing the salary of the attorney generaL , ' t ..The committee, aftej discussion, deemed it best not. to act formally upon the bill at this session; in view of the fact that any change In the sal ary of the attorney general would not apply to the present incumbent, who came into office under the prevailing custom with respect to the office, the committee deciding to report the bill back with a recommendation that the matter be taken up by the next Gen eral Assembly, .which will meet be fore the next quadrennial election to b held for the election of an attorney general and all other State officials.
