Of tAs week. |, will be Al once organized, as
there will be 10 contest for Speaker Of the
House, The re- election Of Mr.. Gardner not being
opposed. The contest for Clerk will be settled,
as usual, the Hrst day The organization OF the
Senate will delay that body but a fhort lime.
We hear Of no candidate for Secretary but Henry
CLARK, ESQ.,, who has he'd the office the last
three years, snd who has commended himself to
the support Of all the Senators who know him
by bis official CORRECTNESS" ;urbanty, and CO riey;
and he will undoubtedly be re elected without
opposition. The Governors Annual Me's'se
will probably be transmitted TO the two Houses
Friday, the Committees ought 70 be announced
Saturday, and the whole machinery q legislation
in working order by MordSy Ct next week.
We presume The session this ys~ will be about
ia, usual length, six week,-although We 'es no
good reason why all tho busine" may not he
transacted in three or four weeks. The election
OF officers BY the General Assembly should Re
finished by the second week Of thu session. The
organization Of the mtit viii come up Of course
taking considerable time in Committee il not be-
fore the Legislature The EIsx County Railroad
bill will be urged .g,in, and will, We understand
