Extract Of q letter TO The edaOr, dated

pretty much all that has been done ia the way Oflegis
laon. II is well known that but little business is
transacted during the FIRST ten days or The session
Subjects of importance are referred TO the various
committees, and they do nn. report for some days.-
Besides, great portion Of the Ts part Of the session
is devoted to the presentation and reference Of multi
Iudes Of petitions and memorials and remonsirances.
Some wants pay for this species Of service, anoh-
for thaiand all these things, unless absurd
their face have to undergo the ordeal Of committee.
So that you perceive ten or twelve days DO very
easily spent organizing and getting ready for work.
The members too want get acquainted with each
other, and with iha; MOST important body Of Legislators
tie third house. This las. ooe, by the way, during the
second week Of the session is usually numerous
Than even the House Of Representatives, unnecessary
" and superauously large as that is.
You will perceive that the House have got through
the appoin,ment Of Judges of.he Superior Court with
out any difficsl,y-there being more than one
in favor Of Messrs. Huntington and Waite. The Sen
ate have also acted upon and confirmed these appoin-
men,s by vote Of 1904. With the qualifications Of
the Former gentleman you and your readers are well
acquainted. The other gentleman il not well known
in Liiched county, in any other part Of the
State. He is however abundan,ly qualified for the
staiion-is good lawyer-has well balanced and
logical mind-is a Of practical common sense
and hence we think will be an honor to the beach and
the must confess .at felt little mor,i6
ed that Me-. Iagersol had since he LEFT Congress con-
Quoted in such forfeit the confidence Of
many of hs former friends.
