The Legislative Session.

The next annual session of the Legisla.
ture of this State begins on Wednesday
the 18th of January. Aside from the cleo.
ton of an United States Senator to sue
coed Mr.. Doolittle, it does not now seem
probable that matters of very great public
interest will engage its attention. The
choice of senator appears to attract more
than usual interest, and the merits and de-
merits of the several gentlemen mentioned
as candidates are quite generally and freely
discussed by the press of the State.
| Under the act of Congress of 1866, the
two houses of the Legislature are required
to proceed to vote for a Senator on the Sec
ond Tuesday after the commencement OF
the session. This will fall on the 26th Of
January at the coming session. On the
following day the two houses meet in joint
convention at IL NJ, and the journal Of
each House for the preceding day, as far
as it relates to the election of Senator, is
read If it is found that a majority OF
each House voted for the same person,
such person shall be declared duly elected.
But if the same person has not received a
majority Of each House, the j'int conven-
ton is required to proceed to vote ciua
roce for Senator, and in case no person
receives majority on the first day the two
Houses are required to hold joint conven-
ton at ! NJ, of each succeeding day, du-
ring the session, and take at least one vote
until Senator is elected.
We think a short session may be conf
IDENTIFY expected. It is not likely to exceed
six weeks III duration.-State Journal.

An Extraordinary Year.

The year, now drawing to close is like
ly to rank among the most remarkable for
unusual and violent phenomena in the nat.
ural world. "The earth was feverous and
did shake" 1t has been year of whirl,
winds and floods, of earthquakes and vol
canic eruptions, of furious tides, untimely
frosts, and heated terms Of unexampled
fervor.
=" eclipse, and sound of shaken hills,
And shudder of water that makes felt OH land
The unreasonable tremor of all the sea-
One of the most extraordinary of these
phenomena are those huge tidal waves
which move with a velocity compared with
which the birds flight or the locomotives
swiftest rush, is but as the pace Of the snail
and which are occasionally agencies terrif.
cally destructive in their power.
Besides the great South American earth.
quake, and that in California similar con.
vulsons are reported from almost every
quarter of the globe. In England, in Cen
trail Asia, in IL g East Indies, earthquakes
have recently occurred. There has been a
curious depression and subsequent rising
of the waters of the. Baltic; and only few
days since something like tidal wave, Of
no great dimensions of course, was expe.
rienced on the shores of Lake Ontario.
While the world generally is so con.
vulsed, we may congratulate ourselves on
probable exemption from any terrors in
the volcanic or earthquake line. We be.
lieve the biologists say that Wisconsin
is situated upon particular stable portion
| If the earth's crust, and here in Madison,
we are not likely to experience any earth
quake shocks more serious than those 10.

ice in our lakes sometimes occasion.-Stat
