LEGlSLATIVE REUNION. Z
An effort is being made to gathc
all surviving State officials together a
Harrisburg on tho 10th of Novcmbo
next The Patriot in alluding TO III,
movement says;
We have heretofore noticed con
templated meeting OF surviving lcgis
lators and state officers who serve,
before 1861, to be held at Harrisburg
on November 10, 1875. We have tn,
circular which has been forwarded I,
all known survivors. Attached to i
is list covering over 300 names, con
tanning fund of information respect
ing the present residences of these sur
vivors, accessible in no other form
which il must have cost much tim,
and greater labor to arrange than th,
committee will ever get credit for. A
perfect roll of surviving members o
the legislature and government officers
previous to 1851, cannot, perhaps, b,
made, yet the effort before us is excel
lent in that direction. We hope tbii
pleasant project of a meeting OF thos,
who mingled in the society Of the seal
of government a quarter of a century
ago, will prove as charming and enjoy
able as our hcartiest wishes can makcit
The address will be made by Col
James Ross Snowden, of Philadelphia
formerly speaker of the House of Rep.
resentativcs.
CIRCULAR.
The undersigned committee appoint.
ed at the first reunion of the members
of the Senate and House OF Represcn-
tatives, their officers, and of those who
occupied positions in the Executive de-
partments of Pennsylvania prior to
1850, held at Harrisburg on the 26th
February, 1874, met at Lancaster on
the 9th of September, 1875, and after
consideration agreed that second re.
union should be held at Harrisburg, in
the chamber of the Senate, at l2 o'clock
M, on Wednesday, November 10, 1875.
This season has been chosen to avoid
the inclcmency of winter meeting,
and in the hope that we shall have
favorable skies and weather mild
enough to tempt the more aged of the
survivors of those who served the
State quarter of a century ago an
opportunity to greet one another; and
the more venerable of their prcdeces-
sors, who were in public station nearly
twice as long ago.
1t is anticipated that a supper in the
evening of that day, at one of the Har-
risburg hotels, will constitute part of
the arrangements. The object is q
social reunion, irrespective of past or
present political associations. Any of
the older members too infrm to join us
arc invited to send the committee q
etter to be read.
Wealso invitea response, one week in
advance, from all who expect to attend,
30 that We may conform the arrange
ncnts thereto. No member is to be
excluded because the committee may
have accidentally omitted his name or
address from the roll.
The committee also decided to en-.
)race in this invitation survivors of
hose who occupied similar positions
n 1850. Thus bringing up the roll to
1851, excluding, however that year.
rhe present one contains 300 names.
