THE LEGISLATURE
EXTENDED. ADJOURNED. EXTRA
sEssioNs-THE RECORD
MADE IN THE STATE.

i
CHARLESTON, Feb. 25 Properly
speaking. Is the Gallo Governor Daw-
son for an extra session. an extra SEES
sion. q special session, or an extended
session. This was the question that
was asked Hon. virgil a. Lewis, State
historian and archiyist during con.
sersation and to 1t he replied by say.
! Ing that such sessions are often des-
ignated extra sessions and properly
speaking they are extra sessions.
THE history OF our State legis-
lature Is an interesting one, con.
ttnued Mr. Lewis. Under the fIrst
State constitutions that Is from 1858
TO 1872. 1t held annual sessions
while under the present constitu.
tom that is from 1879 to the pres.
ent time the sessions are held bl.en.
NAL that is every two years. This
body holds regular sessions, regular
extended sessions. extra or special
sessions and adjournment sessions.
"a regular session conyenes on the
second Wednesday IN January and
continues for forty:hve days. This
time may be extended by two.thirds
vote OF the members of each house.
When this is done 1t is called reg
ular extended session. If the body ex-
tends itself and at tlie end of the is
days takes a recess to meet at a later
date the extended time is then called
an adjourned session.
''If the body adjourns at the end
Of As days and then is re-convened
by a governor It Is then designated
as an extra session. because It Is an
extra or additional session, but It is
frequently called a special session,
because 1t can only consider the mat
tiers specified in the proclamation of
the governor re-convenfng the body.
.The governor may decline to call
an extra special session but he
must do tails on the application In
writing Of thfee-fitths OF, the mem.
bers of each house. i5g &.
This has happened but once in the
history of the State, when, in 1868,
June Cd. the body convened, the gov.
ernor having requested 1t in extra
session.

bfed the goth of June, 1868 and since

Whereas, 1t has pleased the
Supreme Grand Master, to call
from the quarries where he had
worked so long and accomplished
SO much, our Brother, DONELsoN
CAFFERf; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of
our Brother, Franklin Lodge, No.
81, F. & A. NJ, loses member
whose life and character meas
ured up to the standard and ideals
of our beloved order; our State,
a citizen whose civic purity
and lofty patriotism commended
him to the admiration and esteem
of our people.
Be it Resolved, That our de-
ceased brother, as the affectionate
husband, the fond father, the true
citizen, the loyal friend, the faith
full representative of his State, is
justly crowned with the love and
universal esteem of the whole
community; and while commit
ting his body to the grave, and

own home, how richly he filled the
place Of husband, father, brother.
friend! And what a legacy of
domestic purity and faithfulness
he has left these fair daughters
and stalwart sons, who rise up,
eight in all, and called him bless
ed!
If for every act of kindness and
helpfulness he showed in the larg-
er circle OF activity and service in
civic or business life, of which he
who speaks to you partook in
lac:e measure, wreath of i'm
mQtelles should be brought to this
bidr, would this spacious mansion
co4tain them? He was generous
mdp, helping all who came to him,
ana volunteering his kindness
when he saw or thought them in
need of help or comfort. One of
the latest acts like this was his
generosity, but few weeks ago,
to the widow of his old pastor,
standing under the cloud of grief.
If for all that ne was in daring
and bravery and manly courage
medal were sent to decorate his
breast, how broad this would needs
be to hold them! Incidents are
told of him which more modest
and less heralded were as great in
heroism as that of Santiago's hero,
deeds at Shiloh and Berwick Bay
and elsewhere. But greater still in
courage and lofty principles, and
at personal cost from which he
did not shrink, were deeds in times
|of outward peace but warning
policies, when he braved public
thought and party opinion by
adhering to what he thought right.
For all that position and party
preferment offered him he would
not 90 against his convictions of
duty and right. Neither gold nor
place could buy nor even entice
him.
If garlands be brought for in
tellectual power, logical thought,
philosophical acumen, strengthen
conviction, power of expression
and grace of eloquent speech, ali
symmetrically developed and
trained by high literary taste and
broad culture, how many would be
laid at his feet!
If for greatness as a publicist
and stateman, laurel wreaths were
brought, where could enough be
found to place upon the brow of
man whose grasp was as broad as
the continent and whose speech
was as true and ringing as the
clarion notes of a clear trumpet?

of his native State from recon-

It is with deep regret that we
record this week the death Of ex-
Senator Donelson Gallery, which
sad event happened in New Or
leans on Sunday night, Dec. 3Oth,
at 1880 o'clock.
Senator Gallery had gone to the
city on legal business, and while
there he was suddenly stricken
with a severe illness. Everything
was done that the medical science

Boston. and in the United States
Senate, for sound money, he rose
to height of patriotism, wisdom,
philosophy and honesty rarely at
tanned by men and that to-day
commands the admiration and
trust of his very opponents them
selves. And it was not alone In
the sphere of administrative law or
method that he thus ranked. His
great mind took hold of higher
and deeper things, its either turn
shaped itself in those masterful
and convincing pleas which he
made to save his State from an
almost warranted reputation OF
debt and from the corrupting
power of the lottery. In his pro-
fession, in the Constitutional Con-
vention, in the Senate OF the
United States, in his own personal
obligations, he was the same rug
gedly honest man. His life was
rebuke to the degenerate days to
which it is feared we have come In
all that pertains to public trusts.
If for personal character flowers
be put here, how profuse they
would be! Simple, humble, in
affected, honest, true, fair, just,
upright, and pure, he lowered
among his fellowmen. A leader In
the opposite party in Washington
once said to the speaker. "lf
Senator Gallery says the cause is
lust and the claim is right, that
ends all question. If it is not. he
will never say it is. 1t must be
SOL"
And as we cover this bier one OF
Gods noblemen has passed. AS
father, husband, brother, neighbor,
friend, citizen. lawyer. tinancler,
publicist, statesman, thinker, philo-
sopher, man of deeds, he has sure
ly ranked first in this great COM
monwealth and its great men.
And withal he was hum bic be-
lever in Christ, for many years
connected with the Presbyterian
Church, too modest to retain its
offices, but faithful in it's mainten-
ance and support.
His life may be likened, not as
most mems lives, to single strain
of music in some one tone or key,
but to a grand symphony. Now
there is heard most clearly the
tender, lutelike notes of the home
affection, tenderness and love;
again the strident tones of the
trumpet marshaling the hosts to
battle; again the full diaphason
or deep bourbon of the richest
organ, then the vibrant bugle call
| in the daring and dash of life and
strife, and then the melodia OF a
symmetrical. well-rounded life.
tremulant with the shadings of a
sympathetic and appreciative soul.
His life went out as those who
loved him could most have wished
the music gradually went lower
and lower. It's tones became more
and more faint and distant, with
diminuendo effect, until it came
back like even the echo of an
aeolian harp, and then passed
away. Those who stood and
knelt around his dying bed wit
messed a scene of rare quiet and
peace touched by nought that was
discordant or harsh. The strong
soul, the gentle heart, the believ-
ing Christian, went to sleep. Said
sweet little voice this morning,
not knowing the nature of his
sleep, "Let's wake grandpa up"
No, little one, we will not, we
should not. Let him sleep now.
After awhile the waking time will
come. For neyep so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him!"
