The Times.

Much is being said in relation to the session of
the Legislature to commence. The Charles
ton Cowricr says:
"TuE SPECIAL SEssi Information that reach
cs MS from many sources entitled to confidence
and Gilt, confirms us in the opinion that the
special Electoral Session of the Legislature will he
necessarily continued protractcd into the regular
session, or Mt the utmost, with very short recess
and this without necessary relation to the Prcsi-
DENTAL crisis We have felt for years the evils of
hurried and interrupted legislation, and many
grave questions OF State in'c est are pending and
cannot be postponed without "dctvimont to the
Republic"
." 1t shoni bc considered also that the result
Of the Presidential election may not be known in
Columbia, with certainly, as soon as some have
anticipated. If the election should turn on the
vote of Oregon California, (Which is not at all
impo3siblc,) it may be week or longer before the
result is known.
Under any vpw of the case, it is important
that our legislators should so prepared to serve the
State and 10 discharge their duties and they should
Arrange thoir private, and personal, and profess
sona, affairs accordingly"
Money panics not far oil, and hard times
are at the door of some people. The Charleston
Eyenig Ne,cs says:
The Banks refuse to discount even Cotton drafts
all over the Southern country, payable after the
first Of November This is the first impedimcnt
to commerce between the States ns the enrliest
fruit OF the 'irrcprcssibie conflict That uis will
react the Northern cities and indirectly on the
working classes of the North whose mechanical
pursuits are sustained by the money of the South,
requires no gift of prophecy to Goretell."
