WHAT TH E LEGISLATURE IS
DOING.
This will probably he the long
est session of the legislature ever
held iu O’corgia. The committee
appointed to investigate the busi
ness on hand, repor 8 that the
body can ptobably adjourn by the
10th of October It will then have
been in session hissummir, about
one hundred days, with very little
legislation of a general character
to show tor it. Most of the im
port at t hills introduced, either at
the fall or summer session, are
still on the calender, and will have
to be disposed'of or he Gme al A s
seuibly will place itself in the re
dicutons attitude, of wasting time
and the pub’ic money, n prepats
ing bills for final action, and thou
running oil'and leaving them un
disposed of. It is the duly of the
body to take final act'on on every
bi/l before it. I hut this might
have b< .u done a mouth ago. we
will not dispute, but ' stead of be
ing a deliberative body, it has de
generated i ito » .tebating society.
Mingling v.th the membeis a day
