ALBANY, Feb. 13.--An early adjournment of
the present Democratic Legislature would 80 obviously
convuse the stite with JOY that the Democratic leaders
have resolved to take this with their Legislature
If possible with a view of gaining popular favor by it,
It Is their present aim TO adjourn the Legislature
April L. There has been serious obstacle in their
minds to adjournment that day. namely, that the
term of office of Neil Gimour, the Republican
superintendent OF Public Instruction, does not expire
till April l6, and If the Legislature should adjourn
before that date Mr. GilmOur would hold his Office till
next year. The prospect OF Republican holding an
Office for year when ten thousand worthy Democrats,
who, IN the words Of Senator Covert were faithful TO
their party through years Of GLOOM" stand ready to
take it, ia horrying for any Democratic Legislature
to face without cringing.

Of putting Democrat in his place
without OBTAINING the Legislature here until April 10 Tor

that the laws should be so amended as to permit
Of the election OF Mr.. GmOur's successor
i'm March. The suggestion gladly adopted and this
morning Mr. Poucher introduced his bill. Michael C..
