ALBANY, May 4, 1871
The members OF both Honses OF the Legislature
begin to realize that 1t Is time they returned to
their homes. large number OF bills have been
disposed OF within the last few days, and the re-
manning important measures which they feel bound
to legisate upon will be hurried through next
week. Senator Temann introduced concurrent
resolution to-day providing for adjournment sins
ale on Saturday, May II, week from to-day, but

adjourn quite so soon that The impression is that
the Assembly win fix the adjournment for next Tues
day or Wednesday week.

went through the Senate. meeting of the AS

day afternoon to hear parties in relation to the
charter and 1t IS very probable that the committee
will report upon 1t in the evening. There does not

feel compelled to vote for such resolution, while
others would be in doubt as TO what they should do,
and the democrats OF course would vote against 1t.
One OF the liberal republican members had resOlu-
ton OF that nature In his pocket ready TO present
canvassed he hcarkened to the counsel that dis
cretiOn was the better part or valor, and did
not present IL. If the session had not been
extended far as it has BEEN the political
takers In the House would be delighted at the OPP
pOrtunity the resolution would afford them to open
the campaign in the capital The liberal republican
reformers here, however, came to the very sensible
conclusion that their resolution IL they should OFFER

THE SUPPLY BILL
was the special order in the Senate, and couple of
hours were devoted to 1t, but there was not time
to-day to finish it before the usual hour for adjourn
