ecutiTs communication, on subject so grave

that while his views on the subject remain I'M

sire to find fault with every thing he may do

ton Of Cuba, bear themselves as though SEN
sible that he has fairly placed them in the
dilemma of being forced either to advocate
the policy Of according to his discretion the

THE LEGISLATURE.

Our Weekly readers will find in our paper to-day
the proceedings of the two Houses from Tues
day the 2Ist to Monday the 9th inclusive, and our
Semi-weekly readers from Friday to Monday in
elusive.
The first week of the session has been remarkable
for the harmony which has existed, as we'll as for
the amount of business disposed of. Both Houses
have been organized, two United States Senators
and two Solicitors have been elected-thc rules of
order for the two Houses have been examined
amended and adoptcd-the Standing Committees
have been announced, and various other Committees
appointed; and the Legislature, having gotten rid
of such matters as were calculated to excite men,
beers and embarrass its proceedings, is in a
dtion to proceed calmly and dispassionately with
the public business.
The Democratic Assembly of 1875 may, thus
lar be looked to by Democrats in all parts of the
State with qualification and pride.
Solicitor for the Rockingham District is to cleo
ted this week; and we presume also Comptroller
The present efficient and able Comptroller, Major
Clarke, is not a candidate for reelection.
We refer our readers to the proceedings which
will be found interesting.
