in snite Of informaltics in obtaining tho consent OF

five Senators and nine Asserblymen to meet the

The Joint Committee appointed to report the time
and manner Of considering the work OF the Consti'
tutional Commission, viii report tomorrow III iaSoi
of an extra session of the Legislature for that puE
pose 1t is said that Gov Dix is opposed TO calling
an extra session, and assigns as one Of the reasons
therefor the contract which requires thcStatc t. pay
The Args Company Sjs000 for the printing for each
session Of the Legislature. Whatever might be the
| legal right Of The Argus Company under this con-
tract it is not at all likely that they would puf 10
| any such claim. 1t was not done last year
when an extra session of the Senate was
held. although it might have been if the Governors
| construction of the law had been taken advantage
Of The difficulty in the way Of putting oft the
work of the Constitutional Commission till next
year is that it would extend the time two years
before the amendments could be submitted to the
people. The amendments as finally decided upon
must be adopted by two entirely different Leglsa'
lures before going to the people, each Legislature
having different Senate, so that if they are NOT
ratified nv this Legislature they must wait till tho
Senate of 1876 is elected before they can be sub
| mitted to the popular vote. q,
