ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE. -
On Saturday night last the session Of the
Legislature was brought to close. by
the constitutional limit. It has been, in
many respects, a very important term,
aid certainly one of the most exciting
that we have ever witnessed. The vast
amount of business which is pressed into
the brief session, by its biennial charac-
ter, is necessarily productive of excite
ment. In addition to this, the charac-
ter of the measures introduced before
that body were calculated to elicit much
more than ordinary feeling, as they in
volved large interests. From the COM
mencement TO the close Of the session,
there was continued pressure from out
side parties Interested in the various mea-
eures presented for consideration. Such
was the hurry of business, and the pres
sure from these various outside interests,
that members had little leisure to mature
business, or to give proper examination
to such as were passed.
The appropriations have been unusu-
ally liberal, and although there is no one
object that deserves to be condemned,
yet, in view of the aggregate amount, it
is too probable that it would have been
wiser TO have deferred some of them to
future session. We regret to see that
the close of the session was disturbed by
collision between outside parties, in
the rotunda of the capitol. The afrray,
however, was purely personal, provoked
by the Incorporate, abusive, and defiant
language of the two parties
