THE LEGIsLATURE.

E. After session of extraordinary length, the
 Legislature adjourned last Friday. The ses- sion has been an interesting and important one. Upon its records are the Constitutional
 Amendment abolishing slavery; the one
 erasing the word white from the qualifsca-
 tIons of voters the most patriotic resolutions
 Tn regard to our national affairs and several less significant but important public and private
 acts. The term has been characterized by universal good feeling among the members of which the closing exercises were but the cnl- mination. The Governors address at the ad- Journment IS salt of good thoughts and should
 be perusea by every one. We are sorry to learn that he has firmly decided not to accent another. nomination for the office that he has filled with SO much dignity and ability for SO many years. As Governor of Connecticut, and as one of the best of governors,i he has won a fame that Wall follow him as long as this era of war and embarrassment, through which he has borne our State, shall live in history We shall part with him, as the chief magistrate of onr commonwealth. with many and lasting re grets. lfalt} p gas.f ~f =-n.. .-
 In the roll of the Connecticut Legislature of 1865 are found some worthy names from Litch- field County, and they have represented us with great credit. T Our Senators were ali men of ability and influence. Mir. Hodge held the office of President pro tem of the Senate and 1 filled it with universal satisfaction Mr. Battel was one of the most influential, as he was one of the ablest men in that body and Mir. Peck was active and Jealous in every good word and work. EaEaaf 5ae Hr-'-rg '1' ~real- | In the House of Represent atives, Hon. A. B. Mygatt was one of the leading members
 His experiences in the Legislature. his quick l perception and good sense, crowned him with an influence that he did not fail to use upon the right side in most questions of division. The Catlins.. of Harwinton. carried an inhu- enee with their name and reputation-an infu ence that they will never lose, unless they lose their shrewdness and stnbborness in what they think is right Mr. Barbour, of Torrington, was strong man. Around him were gathered a company who admired his discretion, his firm ness, and his; quiet but untiring activity, and who trusted his honor and his judgment to the utmost extent. Coe, of Winsted,. Hart, o, Cornwall, and halfA score of others, combined with these to make our County phalanx a strong one. Upon the Democratic side, Geo
 M. Woodruff. Esq, of Litchfed, was one ol the most genial, yigilent and industrious mem
 hers of the assembly. u s.g -a g.4sf-5. ire Of course great many very stupid men have helped fill up both houses, and great many foolish things have been said and done in the late session but, on the whole. our Legisla. ture has. exhibited good deal of intellect and patriotism, and its records ontain some acts that will make it memorable, and none that will bring odum upon the people. d 4aiaa

Next Tuesday,

If it is pleasant, will be the most glorious day in the history of Ltchfed. Nearly three years ago. almost q thousand men, in whose
 veins flowed the best blood of our county, en-
 camped on Chestnut Hill and marched from there to our country's defense. Through long
 and forced marches, on weary and sleepless
 picket duty, in fearful sanguinary combat, they
 have proudly borne the flag of our nation, and the ensign of our State. Hundreds have fall en in the deadly struggle, with their, eyes fixed
 upon the Heaven born motto, 'Qui Transtu;it Sustinet.' Scores have yielded up their young lives to the power of fatal but lingering dis
 ease. The others, little handful of stalwart veterans, have returned to their old homes up- on our hill-sides. Next Tuesday they will as semble at their old camp, bearing their red badge of honor, to talk over the events of their glorious career, and to receive the thanks and of our citizens. Every member f the 'Old Nineteenth and every friend of the regiment who can come, will be there. '''.
