THE LEGISLATURES ADJoURNs--The extra
session of the Legislature cut-itself short of
yesterday and went home. We went up 10
tue Capitol and helped it to adjourn, there
not being members enough left TO adjourn by
Themselves. All the members of the House,
however. were present, except ffty-seven,
and Az The Senators except twenty. the rest
having gone home TO see the chi dren. The
proee. dings OF The day will be found below.

The Senate met pursuant to adjournment.
That Is to say. our Reporter assembled at the
appointed hour, and was soon alter joined by
the Speaker, the two clerks, and three
members.
The Clerk read the minutes. and the Sen

The SPEAKER directed the clerk to an
nounce 20 the Hous- that The Sena.e had G It
through with its work and was going to quit

The Clerk wrote j. down on a sheet of pa
per and carried it into the House.
The Clerk came back and said the Hou e

The Speaker after a short Informal recess.
directed the CIelk to transmit the adjourn
rnent message to the House again.
Which the Clerk did, and as he did MT

The Speaker then remarked TO the two or
three gentlemen standing around the stove,
with their coat-tails under their arms, and
their pipes in their mouths, that the time
for memory and for tears bad come, and that
if thew had any of the latter article to she'd.
they d bitter be making arrangements to be-

Two members demanded that the roll be

home knew there was no hing more 10 do
and that it was Mt worth while to stay any

The Clerk called the roll. WHICH, it the
House bad been d company of United States
Regulars, would have shown fearful NOR
tally among the soldiers, hut as it was Mt
comp ,uy of Q. S. Rs, it only showed that
