Born Houses Of the Legislature
have voted by large majority to ex.
tend the session, without, as yet, fix.
ing the day of adjournment. The
Constitutional limit Of sixty days ex.
pired yesterday, and as nothing Of
much importance has been done, the
continuing of the session was necessa-
ry-that is, if the present Legislature
is capable of doing anything except
draw their pay, which, to last night,
amounted to about $4,000. There
are now over 1000 bills reported that
have not been acted on. The general
opinion, and we think a correct one,
is that the present General Assembly
is most ignoble failure.
