The Legislature adjourned on Friday
til Two o'clock to-day, 70 afford members
chance to 90 home over Sunday Cf
they lived near enough), or to reereaie
their mental batteries after the fatiguing
strsin of one week upon them. The
Representative of Vanderburgh and
Posey had gone homs before, on leave
Of absence, but our friend Cook, having
an eye to business, and, especially, to
some elections yet to come Of, is at his
post, and with good luck will always be
found around At the proper time.
Not much in the way Of Legislation
/ has been done as yet, except to bring
/ forward measures for future action.
There appears, however, to be q dispo-
sition more to work than gas (although
gas is not wAnting), aad It Is thought
that business will now 60 forward rap
idly Among the measures which have
passed through one house is 8 bill to
authorize . reduction Of capital in the
branches Of the Bank Of the State, and
providing for g closing Of branches, If
desired. This bill passed the Senate on
Thursday, and has been once read IN
the House. Neighbor Finch, Of Van
I derburgh, voted as one Of ten
in the Senate against it, the vote
being 36 ayes TO 10 noes Doubtless
. the honorable gentleman imagined that
somebody who had been in Bank, or
had looked at one, was % be secommo-
dated, and therefore considered the bill
unconstitutional Il is thought that il
will pass the House, IS it merely grants
rightful power to the Bank and works
no wrong TO the public. Fit becomes
the Law, the probability is that one o.
two branches viii close up entirely; 9th
ers viii reduce their capitals and otner'
again, at the more commercial points
vail continue as they are. The Boar
Of Directors Of The Bank however ha
determined nothing as yet on this sab
iect In fact, il would be idle to decid
until the bill becomes law. The Boar
