LEGISLATIVE PDocEEnIScs

The members OF both houses left Harris
burg on Tuesday, the 9th inst, in special
train for Philadelphia, where il is their in
tenlion to spend week or ten days and a
good deal of the peoples money in grand
spree. This manner OF passing the time
was not provided for by the Constitution,
but il is probably more congenial TO their
dispositions and more fitted to their capaci-
ties than the object of their session at the
capitol. The trainers of the Constitution
possibly did not contemplate this kind OF
peripatetic assembly, which perhaps they
ought 10 have provided for; as there is
less danger of being burdened with bad
laws while the lawmakers are on a bust,
than if the collected wisdom is at work in
its proper place-and probably the morals
of the members are in no greater danger.
1t has become parliamentary usage in
Pennsylvania 10 have one legislative ex-
cursion at least during the winter. II may
be trip TO Baltimore 10 enable members
to form an idea Of the kind of enactments
needed by the York and Cumberland Rail

vania Road to Pittsburgh, TO make the
policy OF a repeal OF the tax on tonnage

solidated Quaker City as a reward for their
promptness in passing the consolidation
bill TO say nothing Of the family parties
given TO the Mary land House of Delegates
or any other public bodies. This kind of
thing was formerly confined 10 New York
Aldermen. The legislature of Pennsylva-
MIA, whose unpaid debt OF Forty Millions
entities her TO high rank, have imbibed
the spirit of the age, and given prestige
to sprees on national scale.
On Friday the Governor and both Hou-
ses took all excursion up and down the
Deleware, drank champagne, ate boned
turkeys and ice cream, and returned in
time for grand ball at the Chinese Mu-
scum.
On Saturday they visited Girard College,
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and the Mint,
whence they were taken to the Penitentiary
and House of Refuge.
In night they had a session at the Con-
solidalion Banquet. What they have been
doing since, has not been made public
