The Legislature and Its Work This Month.

There is much speculation throughout
tie state as to the probable length of
the session Of the General Assembly
which meets a week from next Tuesday
Beyond giving recognition to the new
constitution, there is very little business
that must necessarily be attended to at
this extraordinary session. There is
such n strong desire for the election of
the circuit judges now, instead of wait
ing until the lawmakers come together
again on November. that these contests
will probably be disposed Of The effort
to secure an appropriation for the Nir-
ginia exhibit at the st. Louis exposition
will probably be renewed IN appropri-
alton OF $50 900 will be asked.
