The Legislature met at Harris
burg on the first day Of the year,
The Senate elected Hon. ThoS. V.
Cooper, of Delaware county. Presi-
dent pro sen,., and L. B. Cochran
Chief Clerk, ..
In the House Speaker Meyer took
the chair, and after some routine
business the House adjourned until
Wednesday morning, since when
nothing has been done, as matters
have come toa dead lock between
the House and the senate, on the
mooted question whether this is n
neto or. an adjourned session, the
Senate taking the former and the
House the latter view of the matter.
If the Senate'S view prevails Ill
business must begin anew, which
will ne great loss of time ard en-
tail 4 heavy expense upon the treasu,
~ for re-printing, while if the course
of the house is followed the business
will be taken up where left off when
the Legislature adjourned last
spring. and much time and money
saved to the state. 1t is strongly
limited that this is one of the many
legislature tricks in order To prOlong
the session over the hundred days So
that the members can draw the coy
eted "ten dollars day" fnr every
day in excess of one hundred. I'm
our opinion the House view is the
mere sensible and practical. as we'll
economical, but We haze no desire
TO impugn the motives Sf those who
think differently, unless they only
find il convenient 10 entgench them
selves behind legal scruples in order
20 stay as long us possible and draw
2S much pay IS they can.
