the proclamation containing the call fol-
said extra session shall indicate the length
OF time for which the session shall continue,
and said time shall Lot be extended save
by joint resolution passed by the Senate

this act shall take effect from and after it's
passage.
Under this act two special sessions of
the Legislature have already been held
one in 1870 and another in 1872. In the
latter case the session was limited to ten
days by the Governor, but was extended
to more than twenty days by joint reso-
luton, approved by the executive. as will
be seen by reference to act No. 3 of the
extra session of that year.
If Governor Kellogg should conclude to
convene the General Assembly in extra
session, which he will probably do very
soon, the Bulletin may make up its mind
to the fact that he will do it under such
restrictions and limitations as will prevent
its friends from carrying into effect its in
sidious suggestions Of revolutionizing the
State government.

PROTECTION OF LABOR.

1t is generally conceded that labor
should receive the fostering care of gov.
ernment, especially so in republican
country. Acting upon this principle,
Senator Stamps introduced a bill which
passed the Legislature prohibiting the
employment of convicts in the Peniten-
tiary on work outside of the prison walls.
The object of this bill is to prevent the
lessees Of the Pe1ite ntiary from bringing
this kind of labor in competition with
free labor. It has been the custom, we
understand, to hire out the convicts in
large numbers to work on railroads,
levees, ETC., at rates suffi GENTLY reduced
to make it an object to have the work
done by them instead of giving it to the
hundreds of honest unemployed laborers
who would be glad to have it at living
rates. The employment of convists on
works outside Of the Penitentiary is of no
benefit to any person but the lessees of
that institution and the persons having
the work done. while it has proved great
injury TO free and honest toilers. We I'M
derstand that during the past year work
amounting to seventy-fve or a hundred
dred thousand dollars in value has been
done on railroad by the convicts of our
State Penitentiary. This fact was deemed
of sufficient Importance to cause steps to
be taken for the protection of free labor,
and the consequence has been the passage
of bill through the Legislature to pre-
vent the employment of convict labor out
side of the Penitentiary. This bill is now
before the Governor, and will, no doubt,

THE LEGITIMATE MUNICIPAL POWERS

The Legislature has denied to the five
or six gentlemen who, with the Mayor,
form the City Council, the possession OF
the attributes of sovereignty, and there
is chronic grief manifested at the slight.
Every time there is a meeting for the pur-
pose of looking into financial affairs, the
proceedings are opened with a groan at
the oppressive features of the law which
restricts and defines the powers and duties
of the Administrators, ard close with a
prayer to be clothed with the full power
to swing things as the occupants Of the
cushioned chairs for the time being may
think proper. The Distribution of power.
by which certain important functions
of administration have beenNconferred
upon other boards has been grandly char
acterized as such proceeding as takes
the control of the legitimate affairs of the
city out of its own hands and places it in
hostile and irresponsible hands. The
Mayor is in some sense taught to regard
the presidents of the Police Board, of the
Board of Health, the School Board, ETC.,
as usurpers, who interfere with his in
herent functions. The State has seen
proper to commit municipal administra-
ton to several distinct agencies, each in
deg,es independent Of the others. If, as

VIN1ICATED,

! The news comes to us that, after long
and rather sharp debate, the Senate yes
terday adopted by vote of thirty-three
to twenty-four the resolution submitted
by Senator Anthony on Saturday, which
reads as follows:
| ReSOlred. That the action of the President
| IN protecting the government in Louisiana,
OF which William T. Kellogg is executive,
and the people OF that State against dUmes-
tic violence, and enforcing the laws Of the
United States, is approved.
This is what is known as the caucus
| resolution, which was referred to By our
special correspondent at Washington in
the REPUBLICAN of Friday last. The
Bulletin took occasion Sunday to copy our
dispatch, and attempted to discredit it,
stating that the proposed action "did not
recognize Kellogg as. Governor. If.that
organ of the discontinued minority can
gather any comfort from the resolution as
it passed the Senate, or can find anything
therein to justify its assertions, we wish it
all JOY.
TO Governor Kellogg and to the sup
porters of his administration the action
of the Senate appears to be all that could
be desired. It is similar in character to
the Endorsement of the House of Repre-
sentatives. In addition to the declara-
ton of the legitimacy of the present gov
eminent, it also commends most emphati-
cally the acts of the President in protect
ing it and preventing domestic violence.
The passage of this reOlution will not
only confirm President Grant in his lust
policy, but will prevent a recurrence of
the lawless acts which made his first in
reference necessary. Under these circum-
stances the friends of Governor Kellogg
have the best of reasons for being satisfied
with the decisive vote which verifes their
predictions.
