Editors OF Register:
Both Houses cleaned up their calen-
dsrs yesterday, as they have been do
ing almost every day since the session
commenced. The Senate Committees
meet each morning at9 o'clock and
spend two hours in examining aud per-
fecting bills; and at IL the Senate goes
into session and seldom adjourus until
al of the business before it is disposed
of. The House Committees have the
entire forenoon for their labors, that
body commencing it's session at 2 p. m.
The obstructionists in this body, lead
by the volabls Campbell, Of Hancock,
are doing their best 10 retard. bungle
and render crude the work of the ses-
sion. White, of Marshall, Campbelfs
Lieutenant, has not yet arrived.
The Senate ran against an obstrue-
| ton, Yesterday, which well nigh threw
| it off the track. The Governor having
| refused to ratiiy. IS required by the
Constitution, the contract awarded to
the lowest bidder by the proper officers,
, for stationery, printing, &c, the Senate
ia without these necessary edjuncts to
LEGISLATION. Members have been COM
pelied to buy out Of their own pockets,
| the PAPER and other articles required
for the successful prosecution OF their
public duties. A resolution directing
| the Sergeant-at-Arms to make pp~
chase OF such articles as sre, needed fof
the use OF the Senate, was dissdsssa
during the most Of the morning hoar
and was finally withdrawn. Every"
thing the Governor aud his4maii oody'
Guard can do 10 obstruct legislation IS
| done with the recklessnsts OF drown
ing man butt am gptitled IN being
able to record the tsct that they re-
c.ive but little aid lrom the tive Hesuo-
lican Senators.
The Senate Afterwards changed its
hour of meeting rom j a. m. to- p.
NJ, in order to give the Committees the
entire forenooa for their deliberations.
This it is believed, will secure both
oreater ex edition snd delibeiation.
