The Legislature adjourned over from Friday FORE
noon until this Monday afternoon In old times
members used to come here on the first TUESDAY Oh
June. commence session, and stick by until its
close generally not more than eighteen, and seldom
longer than twenty eight days. Now the sessions will
almost invariably exceed the latter duration. With
the exception of few remote grants aud 9 lo0a-
tons in the north part OF Coos county nearly every
place in the State can be reached, from this cityeby
railroad, in six seven hours ut tho farthest Hence
members are fan to turn their faces homeward al least
once week. Saturdays and Sundays find our city de-
prived of their august presence-adj ounments from
Friday to Monday being comraon-nay, more, ALMOST
regular The State constitution, it is true, provides
that an adjournment during the session snail no.
continue for a longer time than two days. Now, by
that fatyeight hours are indicated, and, in their
simplicity, may PROFOUND the inquiry, DO not
seyentyfour hours intervene between an adjourn
ment from one o'clock last Friday afternoon and
three O'Clock this Monday afternoon" All very
true" reply the legal gentlemen in our General

seventy-four hours reduced down to forty-eght, by
Legislative arithmetic in these latter days, in New
Hampshire.

by the Legislature last week. sensation has, as
vet, been produced only in single instance; and
that may be worth recording for the HERALD, espe-
ciay since some of your editorial corps, believe,
are ENTHUSIASTICALLY disposed to cultivate the masses.
