BIENNIAL LEGISLATURES.

The propriety ofso changing the sessions of our
Legislature as to require it to meet once in two
years instead Of annually, has been repeatedly sug
ges,ed and is now urged by some of our exchanges.
Several States have adopted this plan, and we think
it might be introduced in Virginia with great ad
vantage. Under the present system, the members
Of the Legislature assemble at Richmond on the s,
Monday in December each year, and seem TO feel
in duty bound to spend at least the winter there
Their time must be occupied in some way, and con-
sequently there is great deal Of neddling with
what they properly have nothing 10 do, and much
Legislation that is worse than useless And not on
y so, but all this time money is flowing out of the
treasury of the Commonwealth into ii,e pockets OF
the members at the rate of about seven hundred dol
lars day, nearly sixty thousand dollars SEES
sion, surprising the session to continue ninety days
By having the sessions biennial every other year
the State would save this amount, which, as no one
doubts, could be most usefully expended in con
sructing roads of various kinds, and promoting o
thcr public Improvements.

a PoPULAR REvoLUTIoN.-The nation OF SEN
eca Indians in the State of New York has recently
undergone quiet revolution, The people having
substituted popular representative government foi
the government of the Chiefs, which has heretofore
existed. At Convention held a. Caltaragus, on
the 9Th of Dec. last, the delegates in very for
NAL manner abrogated the old government and pro-
claimed the new order of things, very much after
the manner of the founders of our own government.
The legislative powers of the nation are vested in
Council Of eighteen, chosen by the universal sura-
ges of the nation but treaty is to bebindng until
il is ratified by three fourihs ofaI the voters and three
to,lsths Of all the mothers IN Tie nation This may
be considered an advance even beyond the legisla-
tive theory of the French Assembly.
The War Department at Washington has ofTici-
ally recognized the new government.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.

MEssRs. EDIroEs In your last paper, read
a communication over the signature of .Hndbras !
which pleased me very much. 1t is subject I
have long wished to see brought to the attention of
the public through the medium of The press. and
really your correspondent deserves the thanks of the
whole community, for the exceedingly clever man
ner IN which me has done it and The only thing
winch regret about IL is, that ne does not 90 far
enough. wish very much that he had piyen"us
paragraph or two upon the time IGNORED and ccyV
genleet practice OF chewing tobacco in Church III,
| our large cities am told that among refined GoIks
it is not considered genleel to chew tobscco in
Church, and ;hat even the Ladies object TO it,
why what absurd notions sumo people do take up
a6ont refinement and etiquette? Not genteeI TO
chen tobacco IN GarchI Who would ever have
thought of such thing? No body, | trow, but,
some cute |dn6ee,' some fellow probably who had
some sinister object in view. Now all flourish
ing towns have such fondness for aping city
fashions, shouldn't be surprised if our town would
try TO introduce the fashion of dispensing with the
use of tobacco in the Church. Why, the fact is,
we have already had the premonitory symptoms
among us, for not great while since some gentle
men agreed among themselves that they would alb
stain from the use Of The freed whilst in Church.
and really believe they did abstain for about three
Sundays. i think the Ofspit- boxes in the peys
should be given up, for they rather have ;enden-
cy towards doing away with the use of tobacco be-
cause when placed before the ehe,cer he considers
ni''se, SOMEWHAT under Obligations TO spit IN Inc
box Ibis requires him 10 be particular as though
ne were splitting at mark, degree of caution 10.
which he is daily unaccuslomed, and which of course
must render the use OF tobacco rather Troublesome
/ why not therefore, cast away all such annoying
things as spit boxes and not cramp gentemen's in
dependence, but let those who chew in Church have
the liberty to spit just where they please, regard
less Of silks and satins. Let city fashions alone,
stick the ,cced, because 'che,cs to do so, and
then things will 60 quite as s,cimnlingly IN our
Churches particularly on the 1oors) as ever they

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

The manifest disposition OF the public mind to
regard the new Administration with favor, is an
suspicious sign Indicative of good things. Men Of
all parties are inclined 10 trust To the strong man
ly sense and the sterling honesty which they as
cribe to Gen. TAYLOR.
This confidence in advance gives to the new
President an extraordinary power for good, without
the danger Of its doing any harm. 1t is given in
sincere faith, and it will remain with abiding en-
durance so long rs II is deserved. Gen. Taylor Is
thus placed in position the most desirable tina, a
patriotic President could occupy-that of being free
TO act, in all his official doings "wi,h sole refer
ence to justice and the public good"
Thus far, in the whole demeanor of the Presi-
dent elect since the decision in November, there is
seen an admirable property, quite in keeping with
4 character which his countrymen had learned 10
| venerate, as exhibited in his previous career. On
every occasion of welcome which greeis him, as he
advances towards the Capital, the congratulations
of his fellow citizens are received with modesiy
which proves It's own genuiueness, and he contnu-
ally expresses his fears that in the line of ser
vice 10 which the people have called him he may
not be able to meet the expectations of the public
There is atiectation in this could there he
better indication of the true worth and ability which
he himself is the only one to distrust.
With such characteristics as Gen. Taylor pos
sesses, and with the strong hold which he now ha
upon the popular confidence, his Administration
without the excuses which marked Gen. Jackson's
may have more than its Constitutional vigor. lha
the new President will be every inch Presiden
let those doubt who doubt that he fought at Buen
Vista But his whole life shows that the cnerg
and decision of his character haze ever been man
tested in unfolding the laws not in violating them
and we may with reason infer that The same prompt
tude of obedience which has always marked hi
course when serving under the orders OF his militia
ry superiors in authority, will continue to characte
ize his service under the high control OF the Cons
luton and its solemn quisitions.--Bah. Amer.

NAPoLEoN's HEARr.-When Bonap arte died it
is well known that his heart was extracted, with
the design of being preserved The British physi-
clan, who had charge ofthe wonderous organ, had
deposited it in a silver basin, among water, and re-
tired TO rest, leaving two tapeTs burning beside it
In his chamber. He often confesses TO his friends
while narrating the particulars, that he felt very
nervously anxious as to the custodier of such de-
post, and though he reclined, he did not sleep.
While lying thus awakehe heard during the silence
of the night, first rusng noise, then plunge a
mong the water in the basin, and then the sound OF
an object falling with rebound the floor, all oc-
curing with the quickness Of thought. DIR. A
spvang from his bed and the cause of the intrusion
upon his repose was explained-it was an enormous
Normandy rat dragging The Heart Of Bonaparte its
hole. a few moments more, and that which had
been too vast in its ambition to be satisfied with the
sovereignty of continental Europe, would have been
found in more degraded position than the dust OF
Caesar sleeping in beer barrett would have
been devoured as the supper of rat! To such
vile uses must we come al last"
