SOANA W AO~s-
IKE LEGISLATURE. From our Legislative
report Compiled chiefly from the Centnel)
1T will be seen, that the choice of Speaker fell
on William c. Jarvis, who was subsequently
chosen Treasurer of the State. The chair
is consequently vacated, and we learn new
choice was to be made yesterday. f. D.
Bangs, Esq. was reelected Secretary by
nearly unanimous vote. We believe his servi-
ces In that office, have given universal satisfac-
ton. In filling the vacancies in the Senate,
the capdidates who received the highest num-
Der of votes from the people, were elected,
with but one exception. In Suffolk District,
the votes for Gen. William Sullivan, were
s2O3i, and for Mp. Russell, 1906, yet the lat
ter was elected. We regret this decision, be-
cause it indicates degree of prejudice in a
portion of our Representatives, not very hon
orable to their characters, either as legislators
or citizens. The Senator, elect, is well quail
fled and worthy of the Office, but Gen. Sull-
van' IN addition to his great plurality of votes,
mas superior claims on the score of general
ability and talents, which would be an orna-
ment to any station within the gift of the peo-
pie of this State. Under these circumstances
we repeat, that we regret the feeling manifest
ed in this election.
The SEASON The wet weather has been
very favorable to the grass crop, which appears
like being unusually large On many farms it
is believed that there is more grass now than
there was last year u month later in the sea-
son. English grain looks remarkably well,
particularly winter rye, which is large and for
ward. The weather has not been favorable
for Indian corn but change has taken place,
which, If it continues, will soon make great
alteration in its appearance. Indeed, vegeta-
ton of every kind is now uncommonly rapid,
and promises bounteous harvest for the sup
ply of both man and beast
LETTERS FROM EUROPE. We are gratified
TO learn that N. II. Carter, Esq formerly Pro-
iessor at Dartmouth, and now Editor of the
New York Statesman, proposes to publish, by
subscription, revised and corrected edition of
his Letters from Europe, extracts from which
have occasionally appeared in the Spy. They
appeared originally in the New York States
man, but about one-third of the series, compris
ing an interesting portion of his tour, with fur
Their notices of London and Paris, have never
been published. Our regard for the rights of
the author has prevented our extracting SO CO.
piously as we should like, but the avdity with
which what we published has been read in
duces US to believe that liberal patronage
will be extended to the proposed work 1t will
be comprised in two octave volumes of 500
pages each, well executed, and will be afford
ed to subscribers at 50 per volume
