From the general order OF tho sdiutspt

would seem that tho Legislature OF the state

policy, which seems TO be the order Of the
day, the credit due 70 the Legislature Is at,
tempted to DC trsnsferred to tho executive,
as that honorable body Is no, even remotely
referred 10 in the order. We herewith SUI
join the ACT, that it may be brougb, moro full
ly before the people. The resolution was in-
troducsd by Mr.. MsoI. of thi, city:
