Columbia, Feb. 2f>.-It was expect ed that the General Assembly would adjourn Saturday night, but as lt was found that some important hills were yet in the Governor's oill.ee, the Son ato decidod to recede until Monday and the House agreed. Tho General Assembly will bo in session next week, making the eighth week of the session. Shortly after an executive session of tue Senate Sat urday night, at which the general sit uation as to tho winding-up of the legislation was discussed, a concur rent resolution was introduced that (he Legislature adjourn sine die next Thursday, February 2i>tli. The House concurred In the resolution. The Senate adjourned until Monday at 'i o'clock. There is at least one act, and it is thought two others, which are yet In tho Governor's ollice, which if the General Assembly adjourned last night, would run the risk of being ve toed hy the Governor, if ho desired to do so. Tile Senate is determined to remain in session until all acts have been returned from the Execu tive office, and to this end the day of adjournment was set for Thursday.
