 Thursday and Friday was principally occupied in the presentation of petitions and adoption of resola- lions preparatory to proceeding important bu. saess On Friday the principal part of the standing were apponted-but we must defer them to next. As the New-Haven papers of Tuesday are never received here until they about to,1y-eigM hours old, of course make use of them until the following week. It is wretched arrangement. With the exception efihe Register, there are none of the NewHaven parers which reach as regularly as they should.

 NEwHAvEN, May 5, 1882,
 The business of the present session of the Lcgisla- ,ure has commenced, and from present appearances il would that there is sound and healthy ma- jOry of the members who are opposed to the present national admin is,ration, and who will be in favor of measures calculated to promote the success of Mr.. Cay No vote has, yet, been taken which indicates the strength o,he majority, except that by which the officers ofihe House of Representatives were appoin- ted, and it would from that expression of the opinion of the members that Jacksonism has made but little progress in this state during the past year, It was then predicted by some of the more zcalous friends of the administration that the coming around Of another election would place the power othe in their hands. But another year more, at east must go by before shall be subjected to their tender mercics."
 Very e business Of interest has as yet been done. The two houses meet every morning, nt given hour, receive and refer such petitions presented, transact such other business as comes before them, and adjourn after short session. This ie the cons mon routine of the first weeks proceedings of our e- gslature. It would he very desirable that those who have the charge ol business to be brought forward should present kat earlier period of the sesson- IT this done, considerable portion of it. which is usually put of the heel of the session. might come Dn and be disposed of ,he first week. But the prac- lice Of posponing business has become firmly esia- bshed, that nobody appears the first week, and 60 nothing is done.
 Bst although nothing is done in the legislature, good deal is said oft. The important business of appointing Senator in Congress and Judge of the Supreme Court excite considerable interest. You will see by the Register of this week that the dsmo- cratic party as the editor cas it, areNisposed put off the appointment. of these 0cers for another year. Their object cannot be mistaken. They probably hope that another year may furnish them with egis lature more conformable their views and sub sersient to their dicalion. What the present legisa turc will do with regard to the appointment of a Judge, may be doubfa!-bus with respect to Sena- tor in Congress, think there be very little doubt that one will be appointed and too who will do honor the state, and truly represent its interests
 Next week is the lime for the congregation of the Jackson party in this city to make Electoral Tick ct, and devise for its election. good deal of feeling is excitehere, in regard to this meeting
