extra SSION.

The Charleston Courier gives an
An account OF public meeting held IN
the Opera House at Huntington which
adopted resolutions in favor of an extra
session of the legislature. The
Curriers' account states that the
meeting was not large one,
but verv unanimous. Speaker GIBSON
made speech in which be gave the
reasons fer the faith that is in him, and
his views seems to have met the approval
of his audience.
While it is undeniable that there is
plenty of work for legislature to dc, yet
It is equally undeniabIe that public sen
tment throughout the State SO isr as
heard from, Is against an extra session.
Mr. Gibson seems to think that the
work OF principal Importance needing
legislative sc,ion is the Judiciary
bill. I.is very doubtful whether the
present Legislature, if convened, would
pass such bill. They had an opPor-
tunity to do it at tie last session, and
dIdn't do It, and this gives reasonable
ground Tor the belief that if our judicial
system is amended, it will have to be
done by some subsequent Legislature.
Tue Legislature, however, could do
good wo'k by laying up the gaps it lett
down last session As an instance, We
cite Gelect n the Jaw relating TO the
sale of delinquent lands. The law as 1t
stands requires the Auditor 10
furnish the delinquent lists to the
sheriffs Of the respective counties
"st lesst twenty days before the day OF
sale" The same law requires the sheriff
TO advertise Tor four weeks before sale,
Now il the Auditor does not furnish the
lists until twenty days before sale, how i;
the sherl1 TO advertise the four weeks
There is no more precarious title to land
than that acquired at these sales OF de-
| linquent and forfeited lands. The title
in order TO be good, must be acquired ir

OF the law under which the land is ssli
