THERE Is q in the air TO the eilec'
that an extra session Of The legislature may
be called. For the sake Of the State it Is
boped this umor may be without foundn-
,ion. The only sufficient reason for an ex-
tra session would be that at it some way
might be devised By which the State could
come TO an honorable, and therefore honest,
s,tllement with her creditors. But as the
n-esept members of the Legislature doubt
.e.s ;sied to fad sach g way at their last
.eseien ard failed, it is hardly possible they
could lie mere successful in another al
t5mpt snd aa a session is a very expensive
an.ir, aud % the State, according TO the
orefe t members, is too poor to pay her just
and legal debts, it would be better, aud
would avoid scme danger Of r%idicu|e, to
wait units & nss legislature shall be elected
b., for: a sefs On Of that body be held.
