The air for eevera days has been filed with
vague rumors OF an extra session OF the Legislature
OF the State but the idea was 80 prep0sterous that
few, II any, for moment gave It need, and II was
only when one or two papers took up the question
and grsvely commented upon 10 that any were
found verdant enough TO give II even passing
thought.
The publication on Thursday afternoon in an
evening paper OF o paragraph intimaIing such an
evenruality, and Its repctltl0n in more positive
form in morning paper yesterday. led q few TO
surmise that something OF the kind was In
the wind. With view Of sounding the
members OF the Senate and Assembly whose terms
expire this December, reporter OF the HERALD
was yesterday despatched to converse with all the
members OF the Legislature he could encounter.
This course was pursued more for the purpose OF
ascsrtainns the feeling OF our legislators tnan be-
cause any one Of ordinary intelligence for moment
entertained so absurd an idea. aa
