ton bin was passed, no bill to pay public
officers their fees and salaries, no law making
provision for the support of the pententiary,
no law, indeed on half dozen * subjects
that absolutely required attention at this ses
Son. The omission was Intentional, aud was
brought about to compel the Governor to call
An extra session forthwith. The state house

weeks in the house were speUt in "Ribuster

vent the state house bill from passing, while
the state house men, seeing there was no hope
OF success at this session, prevented the pass
age OF all other bills to compel the Governor
to call an extra session, at which they hope to
meet with better success.
