THE LEGISLATURE meets to-day at II lock
in the Capitol. OF course, the first business will
be the election of officers. Under the new Con-
stitution, the Lieutenant Governor will be called
upon to preside the Senate; but as the results
of the late election have not yet been officially
ascertained, the Senate will choose President
pro tenn, who will preside over the deliberations
of that body until both Houses have ascertaned
the choice o. the People, as declared in the De-
cember election. For the post of Clerk, there
are, we learn, quite number of applicants; but
we are not sufficiently well posted in Democratic
affairs, to hazard an opinion as to who will be the
successful competitor.
The House of Delegates will, as a matter Of
course, re-eect Col. George Wythe Munford,
Clerk. 1t will then proceed to the election of
Speaker The Petersburg Democrat says it is
expected that the Hon. VIM. 0. Goode will be
chosen to preside over the deliberations OF the
House. We trust this expectation may be fully
realised to-day the State has not in its councils,
gentleman better qualified for the post, than Mr..
Goode. The Democrat says, however, that
Messrs Tomn of King William, Leake OF
Goochand, and Miller OF Botetourt, will also be
prominent candidates for the office. As the De.
mocrats have decided majorties in both Houses,
they will of course. select all the officers from
their own ranks.
The session will be an interesting and import
ant one, and we shall endeavour to keep the rea-
ders of the "'rimes" advised OF the "doings," it
not the Sayings of both Houses.
How or when the Inauguration of Gov johnson
will take place, is not yet known. Some CONTRA
riety of opinion prevails on this subject, we learn;
it being the opinion of some that he should be
inauguraed in eeremonious style, whilst others
insist that he shall be indicted into office in the
simple and unostentatious manner hitherto OBJ
served viz: by simply taking the oath of Office
For our own part we are free to admit, that whilst
we have some curiosity to hear Col. Johnson on
various subjects of grave import to the People of
the State, yet, as general thing, we are averss
to all ostentation, pomp and useless parade on
casions of this kind.
