THE ADJOURNED SESSION.

There will be all manner of stories told to the people
of the State mysty the failure of our pres
ent Legislature to complete its business before adjourn
men and so save the State the expense of Extra SEES

the bar of Public Opinions and the press will generally be
enlisted on the side of this that vorte in the execu

We take no part in this business for we wish the Peo
pie most emphatcaly to condemn the delinquency in
the persons of all who are implicated in it If any have
solid excuses let them be made and needed but let not
the People turn aside from the stern infection Of justice

with Extra swill henceorth be the rule ke the
usual extra compensation of its underngs by Congress-
and the expenses of State Government will thus be
largely and permanently increased Now is the time to
crush the serpent. Let it not be traed away.
The constitutional restriction of each Legislature to
Session of One Hundred Days-or rather the restrc-
ton of the pay 10 that number of days-is wise aud
wholesome provision Ii deliberately adopted by
the Constitutional Convention. 1t and is heartily
approved by the People. Ii has already demonstrated
its wisdom and value by the experience of several SEES
sions Several Legislatures have tried to creumvent
it, but each Governor has positively refused to call
Extra Session till now. There never has been less ex
for such Session than As year; and if Gov Sey
mour had early decidedly and steadfasty declared that
he ,rOuld not call Extra Session. none would have
been needed The operations of the last few days in
each House we're papably based on knowledge that
such Session ,rOud be called The business of legsa

for that, the Adjournment would have been put off,
even at the eleventh hour and the Canal and other nec

ernor has weakly suffered break to be made which will
be hard to close, but which must be closed or will
drain the Treasury. Let no Member of the present
Legislature be rechosen who does not distinctly and I'M

THE ADJUSTMENT OF WAGES.

The conditions and rewards of Labor are now topics
OF general interest in view Of the widespread efforts of
Hired Workmen in various capacities TO obtain larger
recompense for their services. Now is the time to
assert and dlfuse just views with regard to the prnc
pies which underlie the whole subject and to urge
the general acceptance Of measures accordant with
those principles Let us consider then the principle
OF Combination among Journeymen to establish ade
quatc and uniform Rates of Wages in their several
vacations, and whether it be not legitimate and
just:
There are multitudes Of Employers who profess
willingness to pay fair and just wages-(in fact all make
this professon)-but protest that they viii stand no
dctston-no intermeddng with their business by peg
sons with whom they choose to have no dealings. They
will make their OWE bargains with their own workmen,
and repe ali Intervention in the matter BY others as
impertnent.
The whole controversy then, turns on this question

HOTEL BUILDING.

We have often urged upon capitalists the expedency
of building vast hotels to be divided into suites of apart
ments for families afordng could easily be DONE
every comfort and convenience at reasona-
bic than the present charge for houses in the
better parts of the City We happy to believe that
this idea is about to be carried into effect.
We have been allowed TO examine the plans of new
edifce which Mr. JAMES NJ SASDERsoN designs to erect
on the Ffthav, somewhere between Thrtieh and For
tiethst Its height will be eight stories and its dimen-
sons on the ground 300 feet square with court yard in
the center entered by porte cOere The exterOrwil
be of iron with inner walls and partition walls of brick
it will be thoroughly re-proof in every part furnished
with safe and cOmmodous apparatus to transport the
cupants from the ground to the eighth to any nerme
date story; replee with gas baths waercosets vent
ators and every modern convenience arranged in suits
of apartments of different extent to be rented furnished
Orunnished as may be desired at rates varying from
$500 81 coo ayear with restaurant from which meals
will be served to order at reasonable prices to those who
prefer TO take them in their own rooms; with splendid
promenades the lofty roof or in a garden 80 feet by
900 below; with gymnasiums and tenpin alleys for ladies
and gentlemen and conservatory Of flowers, reading
rooms ballroom, conversation and every other
convenient appendage to large establishment
Here it is estimated that family of moderate income
may live in degree of elegance and comfort unattan-
able in separate houses or in ordinary hotels except by
an exorbant and impossible expenditure The whole
number of persons whom the house will accommodate
We suppose will be about thousand
Tie establishment will be erected by joint stock
company incorporated under general law recently
passed; its cost will be 100000 of which Sl25 900 will
be required to buy the land. We congratulate Mr.
Sanderson the admirable features of his design 1t
will complete the innovation already introduced in
American domestic habits by the practise of living in
hotels combining does with what is convenient and
elegant in that mode of life degree privacy ndepen
dence and economy hitherto unknown to t. We have
doubt that it will prove excellent speculation
and find numerous imitatOrs.
