seems to be in the middle of a bad
fix. The 18th of April is the day set
by the Governor for adjournment,
and the work will not be near COM
pleted. The quesaion arises, can he
| legally give more time. 1t was said
here among the knowing ones that
he could not, but that the Legisla-
ture would have to adjourn and then
the Governor could call an Extraor-
binary Session. But it appears that
he would have to give notice of the
Extra session for a number of days,
and the Solons go home, and rest, a
wa ting the time, which would en-
title them to mileage again. 1t is
said now that the Supreme Court
has advised the Governor that he can
extend the time and let the Legisla-
ture finish up. | think that this Ses-
sion could well be called an extraor-
binary session all the way through.
Court House Districts and New
Counties has consumed more than
one month of the time all put togeth-
er, and if that time had been used
working on the NewsCode, l believe
the Legislature could adjourn today.
AS it is, it will be 2 or 3 weeks yet
before we get through. If we don't
get through soon | think that one
fourth of the members and State Of
ficers, will be out for something else
in the coming election and will be
restless to get out to be feeling the
peoples pulse. The woods will be full
of Candidates next summer, year,
the hat will be passing around get
ting up Barbecue funds, and lots of
Blockheads if they have but little at
home, and own but one ram will save
him to be roasted to help on the Cam
paign. l don't think there ought to
be any more meetings of the Legis-
lature in 10 years, for there has been
so much time and hot air consumed
over the Dummy that 1t will surely
be perfect, and it would be a mis-
take to let an other Legislature mon
key with it until it is fully tried. We
are getting along very well now be-
cause there is quite lot of the Mem
bers in bed with Grip and the rest
are hoarse and have sore Threats so
that they don t feel like making long
windy speeches, so they just keep
their seats look sulky and vote.
Chamberlain of Oxford fame APP
peared on the war path again a few
Evenings ago, and declared war on
Senator Glover, you Will remember
they came near daggers points some
weeks ago, but agreed and signed
papers of compromise. But Chamber
lain got off and studied the matter
over till he couldn't sleep. Glover
had in a speech in the Senate called
him 4 Cuss. Chamberlain wired the
Senator and asked him if he would
repeat to him, what he had said on
the floor of the Senate. Senator Clio
yer wired him that he would, sc
Chamberlain told him that he would
be here at q certain time to hear HIN
repeat it. So it was reported that
Senator Glover walked into hard
ware store and bought two small
cannons and polzed one in each hiI
pocket. II was also reported thai
the Senator had to hold up his pants
with his hands, to keep the weight
of the Guns from pulling them off
Now all this time the police was
watching the trains to head Cham
berlain off and was also keeping one
eye on Glover for fear they might
meet at some time, and before the
officers could interfere there would
be nothing left of the two, but TIE
bair. And at the same time the 9th
err members of the Senate, and mem
bers of the House were walking a.
round as light as if they were in a
room with dead body. And their
eyes bulged as though they were
looking for cyclone, and as for my
self, | stayed about half the day time
in the cloak room thinking that if
the battle came off in the day time,
| would be behind Storm walls, and
would perhaps come out with whole
bones. Now all this trouble didn t
amount to a row Of pins, for when
the gentlemen met they shook hands
and it was off. [ mean the shooting
was off. But Chamberlain couldn t
sleep, and he came down again for
satisfaction, and the first thing Clio
yer knew he was down kicking a.
round among the parlor chairs in the
Edwarda House. But the whipping
is on Chamberlain for he had signed
an agreement in the presence OF Wit
nesses and went back on it, not even
notifying Senator Glover that he
WASH t satisfied and that he desired
to call off the agreement he had en-
tend into, SO the general sentiments
is greatly against him.
