THAT extra session of the Legislature,
which was the cause of so much talk in
advance, and about which so many things
were predicted, was held on Tuesday,
and after correcting the error in the anti
gambling amendment to the constitution,
adjourned An effort was made to revive
the Voorhees, Judiciary Amendment, and
came very near being successful The
only thing that prevented its passage by
the House was an opinion by the Attor-
ney-General that the amendment could
not be legally acted upon at the special
session. Mr.. Grey contended that the
Legislature could not repeal any of the
amendments that had been passed, nor
adopt any that had been defeated. AS
there was no other business to be acted
upon the special session adjourned sine
die at seven O'Clock in the evening.
