The Adjournment.

The Legislature held session Yesterday morn;ng
Tor an hour, Gust long enough to get their per diem
allowance Of $3.) The vote passed in favor of the
SnaH Por Recess was brought up for discussion and
eoniusedly talked about. Finally, BY little log
rolling the Senate induced to recede from its amend
ment extending the TO the first Monday in Feb
ruary, and agreed the original time proposed by the
House, to-wIt: the second Monday in January The
principal reason given in the House in favor of the
earliest day, the fear that the roads lcoud be bad
IN February. DIR. COrnett senator, thought there
would be just as much danger in coming back the
second Monday in January, there would be in re-
naming. He not uery much opposed to their
coming back soon, if they had courage enough to
do it. The majority thought they could venture to
run the risk, and the Legislature will therefore
sembe ON the second Monday in .January,-prObably.
One important point forgotten. however. We
have of smallpox, as it is said. Who
knows but that shall have tro more by the 10th
of next month If that should be the case, will the
members dare to come back at all F! A health COM
mission of Doctors should have been appointed, to
keep an eye to the matter, and make proclamation
when the members might come back in safety. 1t is
singular that such precautionary measure was
looked
We hope by the way. that the members who have
imbibed the seeds Of the disease will not scatter them
among their families and neighborhoods. They
should remain at quarantine somewhere in the woods
along the road, until they are certain that they
safely venture home. How horrible it would be if
every member should communicate the disease to his
friends and neighbors
Upon the whole, is not this of the greatest
arces ever enacted by legislature Of grave and wise
men! So it US, and we feel bound to say.
If the legislature had done up the little work of i'm
portance requiring its action,-whch might have beer
done since the of this alarming case Of
smallpox. and had then adjourned die think
they would have shown much wisdom than they
have done under the influence of the ridiculous panic
by which they, many of them, have been affected.
But, as the Journal says, if we were strangers
away from home, we might view the matter in diff
ferent light but we don't believe we should.
