dispose dispute of all the business upon their respect tive tables at an early hour hoar in the day and be ready for the closing ceremonies before even ing a resolution they were not able with all their expertness expert ness nesa in disposing of matters to ta carry out and an evening session became inevitable having a little leisure that evening we wi thought it not improper to beair to the state house and witness the dissolution of one of the most remarkable remar kable and notable legislative bodies which ever convened on oil this contine continent nl i famed not only for the faithfulness and diligence of the members but for tt air patience and forbearance under the most vexing and irritating circumstances that ever su surrounded rr bounded a lawmaking law making department our to th legislative halls on that evening will not sion soon boon be for otte n we first went into the council chamber which certainly did not present a very gorgeous bous appearance the desks and chairs occupied ju pied pled by the councilors councillors Counci lors lora were of the most plain prim tive order imaginable no had been employed to make them showy easy and comfortable the tables of pf the president and secretaries were not costly nor elegant and it if the other officers had been provided with ch lra ira they were then unoccupied the walls of the nail nali were bare and unadorned with the exception of a national banner the old flir fiig 13 which was wag spread out and nailed to the he wall ivall behind the presidents chair there were only 11 gite five e candles barni barning rg three of them on the secretaries ta table tabie bie ble to which the president had to repair whenever he read or signed a document the hire fire in the acoves had bad nearly ceased to burn for the want of fu fuel fuei el in fine the whole scene strongly remi mi ded us of the condition of our odice orice happy country in this its hour of darkness and impending or threatened dissolution notwithstanding the general gloom which prevailed the members were doing their 1 uta ura ut r most to clear the table the messenger wai kept moving brisk briskly I 1 y and the decre secretary tary and

artificial light as there were more candes burning but otherwise there w was wan as a great similarity in the thi general ap appearance par of things as compared with what had been witnessed in the upper house we lye had been seated but a few minutes before one of the members rose and inquired why the firem in was not more attentive to his duties the reply was that there was no fuel although t there was considerable unfinished business on the table as arwe we inferred from the remarks of some of the members a motion to immediately dissolve prevailed the journal was read and at eevea minutes to eight 11 b by v our time the chaplain ws wis informed by thet tha speaker that his bis services ber vices were then in order the ilo ho orabie members ant and all present to their feet and an
