very laborous meeting the day before this year they
baye had but a single meeting. There are no bills on
general orders there should be, and every bull which
s been passed has gone through imprinted and out of
the regular order Experienced legislators that this
condition OF things at this stage Of the session is entirely
unprecedented. Some idea OF the general dearth OF
occupation may he gathered from the fact that nearly
onethird Of the Senator'S went homo yoster-

them with any material 70 work upon, and
today members a<e TO be seen vending their
way TO the depot. because 10 seems 10 be waste OF
tms 10 remain here. At this rate Of progress the
Legislature will be compelled to take recess to allow
members 10 make Fourth of July speeches. There is
seine exenus0n to be found in the fact that the cleo
OF United States Seustor has occupied consider
able tme but this only portion Of the
neglect. The people OF the State will be still less in
