What the Republican Press think
of the Adjourned Session.


We place the following extracts from repub
lican papers on file, for future reference.
The Tuscarawas Atlvoeate says:-"In the last
Advocate, we stated that there would be no ex-
ira session Of the LegSlature-but during the |
week the Solons at Columbus turned another
Somerset, and passed an act to meet again on
the first Monday Of January 1861. The apol-
ogy they make to their constituents is, that the
Finance Committee found it impossible to esti
mate the appropriations that would be necessary
to carry on the government for the next two
years. The House had previously decided by
a vote OF GO to q against an adjourned session
but on yesterday week, new light dawned
upon the benighted vision Of majority Of the
members, and they "whccled about, and turn
ed about and then adopted Resolution by 81
to SO to meet again next winter"
The Stcubenville True american says
"OH1o LEGIsLATUREA weaker and more
vacllatng set of legislators than the honorable
gentlemen who compose this body have never,

For nearly three months that body has been
"tinkering" with the wheels of government;
and what has been accomplished which promi
ses any good result for the people who have to
foot the bills? Soon after the organization Of
the House, several members made long and
loud declarations Of their determination to in.
augurate system Of retrenchment. The first
move was in the direction Of curtail;nt the ex-
penses Of public printing. 1t was wise move,
and ought to have been fearlcssly maintained
! A large proportion oil the Press throughout the
State opposed the move, and its advocates be-
coming alarmed have virtually succumbed.-
There will be no reform in that direction. Then

for years; bnt the loafers and treasury eaters
