The ADJouRxMENr.-The two houses Of the
Legislative Assembly adjourned at late hour on
Saturday night last, after session Of sixty days.
During the session, many importan. questions were
before the two Houses, some Of which were Of
sectional, character and therefore calculated excite
unpleasant, feelings, still, the utmost harmony and good
feeling characterized the intercourse between
bers of each House well in the business relations
Of the two Houses. during the entire session
When we reflect that with but few exceptions the
members, at the beginning Of the session. I'M
acqrH,ea with parliamentary proceedings. were en-
tire strangers to each other, were from distant
tons Of tn, Territory. had from the East, the
West. the North and the South, to make home in
Minnesota, and represented the prejudces Of all the
different sections Of the srea, political parties Of
the Union, we must confess that we feel some sur
prise and much qualification at the harmony which
prevailed during the session.
We said at the commence; meat Of the session tina
we had formed favorable impression OF the ability
Of the members from their appearance a. the opening
Of tue two houses. We are gratihed TO be able tc
say now, that our impressions well founded
The constituency throus hput the Territory, have
cause To congratulate themselves upon the selections
made at the las, election, for members Of the Terri
toria Legislature.
Ia this connection may he allowed passn!
remark upon the ability and efficiency OF the officer
of the two Houses. No better selections could hav
been ,dc in either branch, to Gil the chairs than
i. Oustead Of the Councl, and n. c. ID. Taylor O
the House. Both these gentlemen performed ,hei
duties with honor to themselves and satisfaction {,
the members ofther respective houses. The Secreta
nv Of the Council and Chief Clerk of the House
capable and attentive officers Neither u. Dixon
A. J. Morgan had previous experience in the impor
tant and intricate duties which devoved upon them
yet they prompt, correct, and efficient in tn
performance Of those duties. The Assistants, too
OF both Houses, were capable and eficent, and CAV
entire satisfaction. In fact all the officers OF the
Houses were good selections.
