Special correspondence of the JOURNAL COURIER.
1t will be gratifying intelligence to the
readers of the COURIER that the last day for
receiving new business by the present Gen
eral Assembly has come and gone, and now
they may look forward to active work in
both branches. The petitions and bills all
being in the hands of committees they will
be able to make rapid disposition of many of
them, and as they are reported they will be
speedily disposed of. There are, of course,
some of tho more important bills that will
require more extended hearing and conse-
quent delay in reporting for calendar and
printing. There would seem to be no valid
reason why the session should not close the
