Quo LEGHLATURE.-Ihe Legislature has
come to the conclusion to hold an extra session
next winter, 1t will be remembered that one
reason urged in 1850 why the Constitution
ought to he amended, was the changing Of the
Legislature from annual to biennial sessions

islatures in tinkering with the Code, and some
other matters entirely of a partisan nature.
We understood early in the session that our
citizens were TO be favored once week with "a
letter from cur Representative. The letters

disappeared from public view. AS the laws are
being published, the people will have an op-
portuuity ofSeeing what their servants have
done for thcm.
