THE EXTRA SESSION.
Members of the Legislature on all
hands say that IL general legislation
is to be taken up ut all during the eX-
ira session. they will demand that it
be held back until the Constitutional
Convention matter is entirely disposed
Of
Hon. Felix NJ. Jones, of Henrico,
seems to have the idea, which is prev
aient among the large majority of the
members on this subject. He said to-
day that ~ resolution would be offered
at the first meeting of the caucus
which would forbid the taking up of
any matter which did not bear directly
upon the election and holding of the
constitutional Convention until the two
houses had finally disposed OF that
question.
Mr.. Jones, like many of the other
lawmakers, thinks that the session will
last forty-five days, and that much
general Legislation will be passed.
