that he has concluded not to conv enc
the Legislature in special session
JERICHO, Jan. II, 1876.
John N, Baxter, Esq.,, Chairman Er-
ecotive Committee
DEAR SIR After having consid-
cred the subject of a special session of
the Legislature, in all its aspects, to
the best of my Judgment, l have come
to the conclusion not to make the call
for such session. As it would serve
no beneficial purpose to attempt to
set forth the various considerations
which have weighed in my mind for
and against converting the Legislature,
| deem it sufficient to make known
the result. hope the failure OF this
proposed means of aiding in the exhi.
bition OF the industries and resources
of the State at the coming Centennial,
such as the credit of the State de-
mands, will not lead to the abandon
ment of the end sought to be accom-
plished

"A great deal has been said

"A great deal has been said by
the Ranuh iranS about the Democrats
OF the House turning out wounded
soldiers and filing their places with
rebels. It now turns out that the
Democrats have appointed more Tn.
ion soldiers to positions than held
office under Republican rule. A
great hue and cry was made regarding
these removals, yet there were but
eight soldiers holding office in the
House. If Grant and his party are
so DESTROYS that soldiers should be
cared for why does he not remove his
able bodied son from the Colonel's
position he holds and give it to one
OF the many war Scared veterans who
have been retired to furnish a place
for this sprig Of nobility? 1t is the
veriest nonsense, this pretended SYM
pathy for soldiers, manifested by the
Republican politicians.
