About Adjournment.

The question is sometimes asked, when |
will the Legislature adjourn, and our
answer is, when it gets through with the
important business which it has found |
necessary to be done, and not before.
The people should understand that the
members of the Legislature are here
engaged in the service of the public at
their own expense, not the peoples. They
receive their compensation by the year,
not by the day, and their pay is the same,
whether they sit one day or X months.
Radical misrule has imposed upon them
onerous, responsible and difficult duties,
which they have attempted to perform
with scrupulous fidelity. They have had
to pass many laws reforming the admin
stration of the State government, so as
to reduce expenditures and correct
abuses. They have had to deal with
official culprits, and have encountered
every obstacle that ingenuity could sug-
gest to battle them in their undertaking.
But the service will be performed and
the people may rest assured that their
representatives and senators will make
d record with which they will have cause
to be satisfied. As to the matter of adj
ournment, it will take place whenever
the business requiring attention Is per
| formed, and not before. 1t is idle,
therefore, to submit motions fixing fu-
tdre day for adjournment. To adjourn
is the easiest of all things, and it will be
done as soon as it can be done consis-
tently with the solemn obligations of the
members to their constituencies.
an,peachment Of Governor Amos.
Yesterday (13th) the House per-
formed a patriotic duty in preterring
articles of impeachment for numerous
high crimes and malfeasance in office,
against A. Ames, by vote of seventy
yeas and nine nays. a synopsis of the
articles will be found in another column.
They have been prepared after full and
mature investigation in which the ac-
cused was represented by such witnesses as
he has thought proper to have summoned.
The testimony is ample and conclusive ;
and the House Of Representative was
compelled, by every consideration OF
Justice and obedience to the laws, to find
an Indictment 1t remains for the Senate
to do the rest.
