The Banner says a session of the Senate
presents but few features calculated to in.
terest an outsider AS trade grows
sluggish in the absense of competition, SO
these deliberative assemblies are but tame

ate-ou the contrary, the dreary monotony
oftwenty- four seats occu Pred by twenty
four Radical Senators.
A great deal of new business is being !
introduced and the probability is that the |
present session will be long one.
