The LEGISLATURE.

The number of bills passed by the Legislature,
Is four hundred and sixtyone. There are upwards
of two hundred overslaughed. An extra session
would have the advantage of the labor upon these
unfinished measures, and could go with its com
mttees and officers with much greater facility
than could a session of new members, after an in
terregnum of two years, weighed down by the
vast accumulation which two years in the present
condition of Virginia must bring with them.
The passage of 46l bills, in a session Of one
hundred and nine days, (not 1l9 as the types made
US say, yesterday is great work for Legislative
body.
