ALABAMA LEGlsLATURE.-This body adjourned
on Thursday, the 18th inst, after session of three
months. The Montgomery Atlas, of the 18th,
says there have been four hundred acts passed
during the winter, nine-tenths of which are of a
strictly local character. The most important acts
are those establishing the Free Banking System
the Revenue Bill, the Southern Bank, reorganizng
the County Courts giving the Mobile Bank further
special privileges, appropriating 100000 for re-
building the Capitol, and those distributing the
two and three funds to railroad companies ETC.

The people there were full of inquiries in relation
to the progress of the road at this end. At Padu-
cah it is said if the road be brought within reach
of the citizens, they will subscribe half million to
it. In the rest Of Kentucky, on the line, and in
Tennessee, there is the strongest disposition to aid
it. Men who have not money are eager to work in
payment of stock. In Western Tennessee there is
no doubt as to the lberality of the people. Once
the road reaches the borders of that State, it will
be carried through to Kentucky without DELAY
This is the general sentiment among the people
and it should gfve encouragement to our citizens
1t may be considered as a settled fact that
after the first hundred miles shall have been built
the whole enterprise will proceed rapidly to com
Pletion. No more trouble or apprehension need
then be felt for it.

Rejection OF the WiImot Proy,,o

La our last paper we expressed the opinion that
all immediate danger, growing out of the slavery
question, had passed. We were led to this coneu
SION by several events of recent occurrence at
Washington Cily--the special message of the Pres
denton The affairs OF California the positions taken
by Cas-, Dickinson, and others, from the Northern
States; the compromise resolutions of Mr. CLAW, his
speech thereon, and the deep impression it made on
the minds OF congressman, and must make on the
minds OF The people in every portion of the Union
and the rejection, by decisive votes in the House
OF Representatives, of the Wimot Proviso resoln-
buttons, offered by Messrs. Root and Gddings
since We expressed this opinion, we have read
letter. addressed to the Charleston Courier, from
us washington City correspondent, which fully

Gated in the schools of the Second Municipality to
anscer at The polls If every thing else were to be
gwen up, the public schools, with their pianos
should form the last institution our citizens should
surrender. What mechanic, or small tradesman,
with few thousand dollars, can afford to cultivate
the musical talent Of his daughter? Nature has
been prodigal of favors to his child. Fortune. how
ever, has been niggard to him-he hears that
child's sweet voice caroling the airs which she
catches as she passes the costly and fashionable
school, whose doors closed to her-that beauti-
ul gift lies uncultvated, and the father feels most
bitterly the evils Of poverty--for himself he cares
not-his, has been life of privaton and to-but it
is hard to bear that the mind Of his daughter shall
BE- neglected-that this most ethereal Of all the
human faculties, richly attuned in her soul shall
find no fit expression The schools of the Second
Municipality afford to her soul that nourishment
which his own means have refused. We ask that
daughter OF honest poverty to raise her sweet voice
in favor Of the Corporation which enables her to
dispense such joy and music around her humble
home.
But Treasures and Comptrollers, and host of
drones, are to be cut off. Whatever may be pub
lished on the subject the citizens will know that
the union Of the Municipalities could reduce the
number OF employees only in very insignificant
degree. Possibly $4,000 may be saved in money,
to the whole city? Are the citizens of the Second
Municipality willing to give up their separate organi-
zation and become the minority in general City
Government If the present administration has
used money iniudiciously, remove them, put in the
officers Of 1915. But let us not abandon a system
under which such great improvements have been
made

70 We have frequently lnInsnted the very
ready acquieacence of persons solicited to grant
the use of their names to pstsffons aseROriais Z
indeed lax is the virtue in this respect that pc
titions, although numerously signed, are now re-
garded as entirely impotent for good or evil,
As illustrative Of this, we viii relate well at
tested fact which had its locale in the capital Of
Of the largest aud most populous States in the
Union.
Mr.. A. proposed bet Of five hundred dollars to
B., that he could obtain the signatures Of more
than hundred Of the most respectable citizens of
that place directing tie Governor to haze hung,
a giuen day, the most approved Clergyman
located there. OF course, Mr.. b. readily accepted
the proposition, and backed his opinion by piling
up the silver. But the sequel proved that his
knowledge Of human nature was very limited, as
Mr.. A. not only obtained the requisite number of
names, and of the kind required-but he moreover
obtained that of the identical clergyman himself
OF the way or manner Of obtaining these sigma
lures to such an extraordinary petition we have no
positive knowledge; but however fraudulent, we
venture to assert that no such moral fraud was
practised upon their credulity as we are informed
was lately perpetrated upon some of our coniding
citizens to obtain their names to the petition now
in circulation for consolidation.
AT FIRST they refused to sign it--being entirely
contented with lreH-but being shown the names
as published few days since to the petition for
the separation in 1885, and told that these very per-
sons who had strenuously advocated the division
then, had changed their minds, and were now ad-
vocating consolidation, as evidenced by their sig
natures to this petition; and cOnfding in the

One Of the reasons most clamorouAly urged by
the friends Of shis measure, is economy. Il is
charged that heavy taxes are paid, and the people
receive NO adequate return II this be true, il is
certainly serious accusation. Taxation ia always
diSagfeeabie; !" 10 tax and to please, is NOT given
to man, says an eminent statesman. The admin
istra,ion Of the Second Municipality can well re-
spond to the truth Of this remark. The public is
like the soldier, when receiving the punishment Of
court-martial--as each blow came across his
bare shoulders he would sing out higher or lower.
The Irish drummer at last got mad that his good
natured attempts to accommodate the sufferer met
with no thanks and shouted. why, there's no
Plasistg you, strike where | may" Society is
always the poor soldier, who is never pleased let
the tax come as il may. Let US see if the Munich
pahty has received nothing for its money. We
annex a schedule showing what use has been made
Of five million Of taxes. We shall continue to
publish other statistics extracted from the public
books Of the Municipality. It win be seen that
over million Of dollars has been expended in
wharyes, and two millions and half for paving.
In the Northern cities the wharves are owned and
kept up by individuals while here the expense
ialls on the Municipality. A very heavy item of
expense are the public charities There is really
no reason why this tax should fall on New Or
eans--it ought to be borne BY the State. The
residents Of New Orleans require little or no aid
from these public institutions The inmates be-
long to the class Of transient population. Yet it
will be seen that heavy item of expense falls on
the city Until the Legislature relieves us from
that burden, however, it must be borne by us, for
misery has claim which cannot be disre-
garded.
But there is to be economy in the diminution of
offices and reduction of salaries. There are now
three Recorders Are those officers eating the
bread Of ideness2 Alas that we are compelled to
say No. Would that their offices were sinecure..
But read the daily reports Of the Police courts, and
see the amount Of labor which they perform.
