Editors Constitution: If the archives
in the Secretary of State’s office be ex
amined, I think it will be found that Mr.
Ben. Conley, late President of the Senate,
and now acting Governor, without any
authority, I think, claims what no other
Governor has ever yet dared to claim un
der our past and present Constitutions,
viz : the right to say or to dictate to the
Legislature whether or not it oan adjourn
or prolong its time.
I will not go further back than to eay,
that the Constitution of February, 1861,
contains precisely the same provisions as
the present one in relation to Adjourn
ment and the Veto power, and Prolonga
tion beyond the forty days. And yet,
by referring to the pamphlet Acts of
1861, page 143,1 find the following res
olution :
“number 26.”

To which Chief Justice Brown (now
