August 1.-The Legislature accom-.
piished nothing, of public mterest-the
time being consumed principally Unread
ing-a number Of bills which. We have al
ready noticed. At the rate the legisla-
ton Of this delectsb!e Assembly is pro-
grtssing, the State bids fnlr, to be mulc-
ted fus a pretty considerable sum before
80 adjournment is made. The Assembly
has been in session now foss twenty-siy
days-the usual duration of the former
Legislatures Of this State-and yet not
. single biH has passed both Houses, and
large msjofity Of those which bave
bseo introduced are still in the hands Of
the different committees, with very little
prospect Of being reported upon soon.
Thsexpense, so far, amounts alone, for
the per diem Of the members, to $24, 900
and when. to this is added the pay of
clerks, printing, stationery, hall hire, ETC.,
the amount swells up to the vicinity of
&S5,0 900. What it will figure up in the
end IS entirely conjectura1, but We be-
Eese theamonnt will be measured only
By tie ability of the State to pay the
bills.-Columbia Phoenix.
