Informed. "Abau. forty days" was tbs reply.
The Eek. man Was democrat Of tho House.
"Well." ho replied, I'VE will certainly not GO:
aEsy from here before tho FIRST Ct Msy.' A
sssdjusIer thought The Legislature nigh! set
aWu7 in two or three weeks. Taus it will be
saen that all parties arc under ths Impression
tba. The session will b, long coo. Btyand
tho tax AID appropriation bills the urs few
other bills that it will b, absolutely necessary to
psss. A hes. OF private bills raDaIn o. the
calendar and many railrosd bis-,htso latter.
which the B,Sg sppIovas. berg reported aad
sent on in tho direction OF their passage.
1t is o remarkable fac. that this Mahoneile
party Whish came here swearing snoa VaDge'
ancs against big railroad corporations has sud-
denly turned lis wrath aside, and actually is
huggiog the biggest ard richest Of them all
the R;onmond and Danri.is railrcsd. All the
Leading resr asters src in favor of tao passage
of this coupapy's biII-tbst is all those mem
bors of the party who ore kacWa to have ACCESS
to tho sacred cirola and are allowed TO stand
actually in tho presence Of tie aueuyt ruler Ct
mems ooDsoienc2s.
The Indications arc that il the session lasts
F long enough tho bill will b, gotten through in
, its original shape. 1t hiss some democrats ls
its warm friends, also. bu. they cao vote Tor i!
with mor5 consistency than tho Msh01eitei
