THE NEW STATE HOUSE. The reports of the investigations of State House affairs conducted by Senate and House committees will be presented to-day in both branches of the Legislature. As the conclusions arrived at by the majority of each committee are greatly at variance, it may, however be considered very doubtful -whether there will be any action taken in 'he chape of additional legislation. The majority of the House committee will report substantially that the following conclusions have been arrived at: That tbe work has been executed in accordance with tbe plana and specifications, and has been well done in all respects; that all the alterations have been made for tbe benefit of 'the State, and have roeulted in improving the building us to permanence, appearance and stability; the charges for such alterations have been very reasonable, and cheaper than the same work could havo been done by other parties; that the contract was taken too low, in view of the price of labor even at the time It. wus let, and that the price of labor bus since that lime increused from 20 to 25 per cent., and the cost of

material from 10 to 30 per cnt.; and that

the contractors liuve lost 81 00,000 on the work tbey have already done. The report will further declare that to complete the building according to tbe plund and specifications, will cost, on tbe estimate of Mr. Soberer, the supervising architect, 1.059,000; that the building cut) therefore be completed within tbe $2,000,000 limit if the contract is continued in the hands of 'Messrs. Howard & Denig, for the reason that they havo the muehinecy and plant, and huve the iron contracted for, and It is therefore tbe opinion ol the committee that it will he a great suving to the Htnte to relet the contract to I he present contractors for the sum named by the snperviaing architect, as if there wmh an optm competition for a new contract, there in no reason to believe a combination would be formed , wine'1 would probably succeed in doubling the cost ol completing the building. The ciitntnitl.ee ifrnniiiH'tnli'd the passage of a

Committee, whose conclusions will be in

many respects the exact opposite of those of his colleagues, and bis recommendations will be thai if the present contractors cannot eomplets the work there should be a re-lett ing, which would throw
