EDiron JoyaNAL--Dear Sir The Senate and
House Of Representatives have adjourned over
until Tuesday next Most Of the msmb,rs and
nearly all the outsiders having gone home, the
city hos deserted appearance The lsbors Of
/ this bsgislatureSre SO dr1uous, it becomes nee
essory 10 have an occasional recess OF few days,
TO give the members time to recruit
Seven weeks of the session have passed, and
though they have labored hard, bat little has
been accomplished for the public good. 'Tis
true, they have repealed the bill to prohibit the
use OF jails for lugtivcs, but did the people re-
quire it? BY no means. A large majority
were they to cast their vote on it to- day, would
vote TO place it upon the statute book. But
the party required it, and however unwilling
many might be to vote for it, it had to be done.
Some few other acts mostly of a local charuc-
ter, have also passed the House, but nothing in
which the people feel an interest.
Mr. Collins introducela BILL which was read the
first time yesterday ;--it being a very long one,
Ond indistinctly read, could not make out its
provisions. 1t relaed to the public works of the
