upon reassembling, brief message from
the Governor was presented, il which,
after giving his reasons for responding to
the demand for the extra session by call
ing the Legislature together, he says that
although there were some errors of laws
which called for correction, and some
matters on which new legislation will be
desirable, he did not then, nor does he
now, recognize such necessity as would
have justified him, in the absence of the
constitutional demand, in cOnvening the
special session.
In the Senate two resolutions were in
troduced looking to the question of
whether members shall take any pay for
the extra session. Both were laid on the
table. Senator Wickham introduced a
resolution requesting the Governor to in
form the Senate whether or not any facts
have come to his knowledge that will
make any legislation necessary at this
time to enforce the provisions Of previous
acts to protect the credit of the State. At
? O'Clock, after eulogIstic remarks, the
Senate adjourned in respect to the me-
mory of the late Senator Crumpbler, of
Isle of Wight county, who had died since
