DOVER, Jan. Xo.--A joint greeOlution,
which, whether It 10 passed end strictly
adhered to or not, will doubtless have the
desired effect of hurrying up business, was
| introduced into the Senate yesterday after
noon by Mr.. Belts, and went over for one
| day under the rules. 1t provided that no
new bushes shall be received after noon on
| February 28th, inst, and that sine die ad-
| journment shall take place on Saturday
| March II. An adjournment at this time
would be at least two weeks before the time
the Legislature usually adiourns, but as
work hasbeen coming la adjournment may
take place even before that. OF course
| much business is lying back, and
/ there Ia q great deal yet to be done, but II is
\ high time that private bills 70 be acted upon
we're sent In, and It will be as cold day for
somebody, as Faro Jack nnds It In the
Tourists" II people who have legislation
/ of that kind do mot look sharp. It Is doubt
| full If the resolution will be passed, because
| It lie impossible, In view of the present in
| definite state OF affairs, to tell just how much
| work the General Assembly will have sad
| died upon 1t, but people who come In at the
| last moment should not complain II they are
neglected, as they deserve to be. Mr..
| comegys was contemplating the other day
/ introducing a resolution similar to that OF
MIR. Betts', with the exception that it fixed
| the day of final adjournment much earlier.
III moves of this kind, however, as have
said, are premature.
