An Early Adjournment.

We do hope that the present General
Assembly will adjourn at as early day
as due regard 10 the business before it
will permit. Now that the exciting ques-
tion as to who shall be U. S. Senator, is al
rest, we shall look with confidence for
prompt action on the business before the
Legislature.
We notice that some Of the members
are justifying the delay in the transaction
OF business, on the ground that the annual
reports Of the State officers have not yet
been printed and laid on their tables.
Such an excuse is the veriest humbug i'm
aginable as any information the standing
committees need is easily attained by per-
sonal application to the State officers.
When such an excuse is put forward by
member, he may be at once set down as
In favor Of long session.
We also much desire that no extra ses-
sion be held by the present Legislature.
The people are anxious to see The biennial
feature Of the constitution tried, and if it
does not work well, there is constitutional al
mode of changing il. We should not op-
pose long session, nor even an extra ses-
sion, did we see anything in the condition
Of the affairs Of the State absolutely de.
manding it. However, as there has been
no move in the Legislature. as yet, indi-
GAZING that an extra session will be held.
il may be said that our remarks, at this
time, are uncalled for. That may be true.
Sill we conceive that there is no wrong in
expressing an opinion or desire relative
to the matter.
