UJ-The Legislature of this State will assem- auyuration of Governor Bissell will take place on that day but his speech will not be recei- we'd here in season for our next paper.

 We anticipate short and harmonious ses-

 sion. and trust that no more public acts will be enacted than the welfare of the community impcriCusly demands. Ore of the greatest evils the people of this state endure, is the constant changes which are made in our laws. Every year some score or two of acts are passed which are of no earthly benefit, and indeed there have been so many changes since the public ] statutes were last revised, that it is no small job to ascertain what the law is on many im- portant subjects. We hope therefore that the mania of law>making will not prevail at Hart. ! ford this spring and that the business neces> sary to be transacted will be attended to with

 out prslonging the session to an unnecessary length. 'T | Tn addition to- ihe ordinary appointms nts which are to be made. the Lt gtsIa,uro M As

 called upon to supply the vacancy on the bench 1 of the Supreme Court, which will be occasion. ed by the retirement of the present Chief Jus. lice. There are but few men in the state who can fill that station with as universal approba- tion as has been awarded to Judge Williams but there are those who would do credit to the office. and we trust the members of the Legis- lature will dismiss all personal and political considerations in making the appointment.

 A Commission of the School Fund will al> { so be appointed, we suppose, during the ap- 1 preaching session. Mir Beers has held this ofic, about quarter of a century, and he has discharged its duties, for ought we know, as faithfully and as advantagsous.y to the State. as any gentleman would. Both political parties have continued him in this responsible trust uRtl he has arrived at an age when he needs 1 the repose and comforts of private life. Fore. seeing that Mr. Beers could not, from his ads ! vanced age, much longer serve the State, the Legislature. in ls45, appointed an Assistant, who besides rendering the Commissioner im- portant aid, would, in year or two become sufficiently acquainted with the management 1 and condition of the School Fund, to assume l the chief contro! of it. The gentleman selected

 proved himself eminen,ly qualified for the busi- ness, and the Legislature will be only carrying out inc wishes of the people by appointing Eliphalet A. Bulkley Esq. School Fund Com- missioner.
