quet he was the guest of Col. w.
II. Hunt.
Governor Hayward expressed
deep regret chat the disagrccabIc
weather Of yesterday morning pre-
vented him from seeing quite a
number Of his friends here.
The governor was as handsome
and hale and hearty rs usual. and
his friends here regret very much
that he could not stay longer.
Governor IIeyward was not talk :
ing politics, but in a conversation
with friends at the depot yesterday
the Legislature came up for dis
Cussion and it was mentioned by
some one that there was always Il
general kick because the Legislature
killed SO much time during the first
Of the session. Governor Hayward
refer i to the fact that it is most
ly committee work and work Of
which the general public seldom
takes note, that consumes the early
part of the session. He thought
the Legislature had been making
about as much time as was con-
sistent with wise legislation.
