ALBANY, May ID, 1873.
The question OF the final adjournment was an
parcnty settled to-day by the Assembly passing
concurrent resolution fixing the 23d inst. as the
day Tor the blessed event to take place. Before
the passage of the resolution there was the usual
display OF eloquence on the part Of those indi-
vldual members who take it upon themselves at
every opportunity TO instruct the people at
large as 10 their own value aud the
confidence that the common herd OF
mankind should always place in their every word
and deed. When Mr.. Rose called up the resolution
these members prepared for the storm calmly,
each determined to DO his level best to make
lasting impression on The smaller fry, who always
vote quietly and make ne iuss about 1t. An amend
ment to the resolution fixing the day on the 3oth
inst. was, after considerable powwowing, voted
down. An effort made by Mr.. Lincoln to

endeavors TO say something, but he failed, and,
once the valves were opened the surplusage OF

an early adjournment, and took the clouds and the
stars. and the moon thrown in, to witness that
they were in earaest good faith and always had
been in voting ea.ly and often for speedy goodby
to the capital. They declared that 1t was
the fault of The vile republicans that they
had been, all OF them, without distinction
OF race religion. kept away from their family
fresiies and the familiar haunts where local
option is no ones option, and where the demo-
cratic spirit OF liberality has full and glorious
swing by night and by day. They indeed were the
faithful lew who in all they had done during the
Winter as legislators had only looked to

talking went for naught. once the takers mad

smoothly, ana Mr. Roses resolution was adopted.
