ing O0en Iurnlsnou Dy tn0 occurrence
Of The Spring Election next Tuesday.
They adjourned over until Wednes.
day evening. The question OF final
adjournment has already elected q
purpose Of the Democratic House TO
profong the Session and they have
thus far voted down every effort to
AZ the time for adjourning, they are
weary in their efforts at buncombe,
having 40 repeatedly been trippcd
BY their more able and skillful op.
ponents. Last year, when consider
able necessary legislation was pend
ing, they sent to the Senate a reso-
luton for an early close of the ses
sion. They were taken at their word
ant the Senate, when all the neces-
sary legislation was enacted on their
part, passed the House resolution TO
adjourn on the 18th Of March; but
the House was not ready and several
OF the most necessary bills failed 10
became laws. In the house here, as
at Washington, the Republican mi
nority have the advantage OF talent
and parliamentary skill, and any Of.
fort at buncombe is likely to result
disastrously to tho Democracy
through its detection and exposure
by the Republicans
There is really no need for q pro-
longed Session, and il tho Senate
will adhere to its purpose the State
will be saved unnecessary expendi-
turs OF at least $4,000 which the
House seems determined TO "gobble"
in extra pay, by extending the ses.
sion beyond the hundred days.
Many Of them, very naturally, reason
that most probably they will not
soon have another opportunity, and
the fat places that know them now
will soon know them no more for
ever.
The Revenue bill is the first and
only bill yet sent to the Governor.
Quite Q number, however, are far I'D
vanced. The Governor will not has
tily approve any bill, and his care in
this particular has saved the State
many Q dollar.
The preliminary skirmishing Of the
Presidential election next November
has already opened, sndlliscloses pret,
ty well arranged lines of battle. The
average capacity TO govern. if we may
Judge by the Democratic majority, in
the House at Washington, rs well as
by our own House of Representatives,
will make IL safe TO predict that the
Republican nominations to be made ut
Cincinnati, June 18th, will be triumph.
antly elected. The choice of the Can
didates and the character of the Con-
vention will go far to influence the
popular verdict. Should these be un.
Exceptional on the part Of tho Re-
publicans. nothing can prevent an over.
whelming triumph. Grant, of course
will not be the candidate. Hartranft or
Packer would be strong candidates, and
one or the other may he nominated.
There will be no conflict, however, be.
tween their friends, and one or the
other will be unanimously presented to
the Pennsylvania delegation. If Gov.
Hartranft does not decline he will re
ceive the endorsement of Pennsylvania
and IL the wisest councils prevail h.
will he nominated. Nothing is 80 sue
ccssftil a. success" and Gov. Hartranf
possesses that invaluable magnetism
His cool self possession and clear iudg-
ment. together with his well established
ability and integrity are calculated tC
insure the continuation Of his well do
ing If elevated to the Presidency.
