SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1881 ——— A provosiNa typographileal error In the Washington dispatelies of Tur TRIBUNE yesterdey made It appear that ex-Sheriff Hoftmann had used langusge derogatory of tho charncter of Mr. A.

I'ne proposition of the Legislature o pro- long thelr present sesslon until the middle of Aptll, and then adjourn, and have another protracted session next winter, Is one which should be resolutely resisted by the people of the whole State, and especlully by the Re- publieans, It Is & bold and Impudent ns- sumption of pawer by a Legislature which has already forfelted so much of its claim to public respect, and which proposes, bele In oftice, to grasp at every dollar it ean wring from the Stats Treasury and extort in the shnpe of blackmail fromn the busiuess inter- ests of tho State. There'ls no apology for such nn adjourned sesston, "Thiore have been no politienl ques- tluns to conswmme the time of tho Legislnture, Tho people hasn right to expect the mem- bers to address thowscelves to the business of the State, and, after holding o bustuess ses- All the business setually done might have been transneted within three weeks, and all that remnins to be done could be completed in three weeks from thls time; while the Legisiature has been In ses- sion nearly threo months, and proposes to take another month this year, und then have a four months’ sesslon next year. ‘The Constitution provides that there shall be but ono sesslon in every two years, and provides that incage of any necessity or emor- geney regulrlng an extra session the Gov- ernor shull have power to conveny such ex- trn session, But this Leglslature proposes to override the Intentlon of the Constltution, aml by takingnrecess over until 1853 pro- - long itg existence In evasion of the intention of the Constltution. ‘The Republlean party Is responsible for the nets and follles of this Leglsinture.

Instend of vroceeding in propor se- quence to tho consideration of these legislas tive projects, the sesslon was opencd with o desperate eftort In tho House to sceure a par- tisan advantagoe by the ndoptlon of an unfalr rulo for counting the Electoral vote. Tho Demoeratic leaders were not able to securo the presence of thelr own majority,—in itseif o grievous disregard of the public trust which had been reposed In them,—and hence they blocked legisiation for n considerable thne by insisting upon o partisan plan which they could not carry out. Senato was condemned to Idleness, and the country was agltated by tho fmplied thrent of disputing tho count of the Electorat vote. It was known that tho tlme of Congress was limited, and yet 1t was not till long after tho holldny vacatlon that the Funding 1311 was brought fuirly to conslderation, and then In such n shape us to alarm themonetary Institutions of the country.
