OLD MORTALITY

- Hpains us to see that the lob
by members Of the legislature, who
have conducted themselves with 80
much decorum during the session, have
sullied their reputation for "order" by
voting on the floor of the House. We
could not have believed the fact, with.
ont seeing in the House proceedings a
motion to require the Sergeant at
arms, to forceably eject them when
found openly mixing with their pro-
ceedings It pains us also to see that
the motion was not entertained" but
promptly laid on the table subject to
call. One of our reporters informs us
that the lobby, did not retire to have
the legitimate members to vote on the
motion but stood up in defence of
the rules of propriety and actually
moved the previous question" It is a
late hour.in the day, to behave in this
Speaker" Of the lobby
could not have been present when this
gross outrage on parliamentary rules
was perpetrated. By former proceed
ent, the lobby has no right to vote on
anyother bill than the General appro-
priation."

On tonight this Hon. body win
adjourn sine die. After a busy sess-
ion Of so days, it has accomplished
much good, it is to be hoped, although
many foolish laws have been passed.
Three men III ten day days could do
more, but in this country the masses
must be heard, in the way Of buncum
speeches, and honor, and dignity res
olutions. The ill-feeling and partial
jealousy, that existed in the early part
Of the session, between our citizens
and certain members, has all passed
away. and the departure Of The Hon.
the Legislature, will be mutually re.
GREETED The ancient city Of Baton
Rouge will soon be as quiet as her
own grave yard, and each individual
member will take his winding way, to
the bosom Of his own dear constituents,
some to expound and explain, some
to justify and excuse, and others to
humbug and deceive. In parting
with the members Of the Legislature,
our citizens feel much regret, for many
Of them have endeared themselves BY
social ties.
In the Senate, there are many glo-
rious good spirits, Farmer and Ken
ner and Hodge and MeCay, are not
only men Of fine talents, but eminent
ly social. In the House, some choice
companions are found, for such men
as Pugh and Campbell and Robert
son and Wales and Cullom, are not
to be met with in every Legislative
body.
But the days of legislation are now
over, Cat least for the present, thank
God) the mouth Of the buncum speech
maker will be sealed, for Othello's oc-
enpatiop ;s gone.
Old Couthorn will rise to no more |
points Of order. The rod-headed gem
tleman will boast no more in the Rep
resentatiye Hall. of whipping negroes,
and Aourishing his negro-whip. The |
smart man will scream no more, nor
will the theatrical man tear his passions i
in tatters, or burst another button off |
bis pantaloons /
The Senator from West Felieiana /
will cease hosti1ities with the Senator
from New Orleans, and no moro re-
mind him Of his inconsistencies, or
doubt his democracy. The Senator
from Ascension will no longer regale
he Senate with his sparkling wit and
cutting satire, nor tell over again, 50
much to The edifcation Of learned
Senators. the "mozus operantls,v Of

The Senatorial fox, that artful dodger,
will doge no more, this session at least.
He may dodge Senators, but be can
not dodge the people---they will catch

exactly cut of his tail, but crop his
honors from off his crest p
which now SO blooming seem. Sic

Explanation.

Of which we therefore have a right as
faithful journalist to speak Of; we
are tnost certain to tread on somebody's
toes and call down the vengence ol
others on Our devoted head
A day Or 20 ago, we had an article
in this very chaste and elegant news
paper, headed "Disinterested philail-
tl,ropy,' III which we spoke Of The
common practice ofour Yankee friends
North, coming out this way and hum
buggihg the people III getting posses
sion Of their overweening confidence.
by species of "wheedling' for which
they, the Yankees have the original
recipe. Hereby, it is, they get our
people to loosen their ptifse strings
for some ''way-of" charitable object
that no one ever heard of before. We
depreciated---or endeavored to do 80
the sanction given to these things by
The pulpit; and have Of course gotten
into very awkward position, from
which there is no hope Of recovery
and all we can do. is to stay where we
are and "grin'' till the matter passes
over. In our article the other day it
seems that implied sefsure has
been discovered, not intended. We
are satisfied that the pastor Of the
Methodist Church, did not understand
The motive Of The gentleman to whom
the pulpit was resigned on Sunday
night; and at whose instance the coi-
lection was taken up.
In the goodness Of their hearts, the
ministry is ofteutimes imposed upon,
by itinerant lecturers, and others,
whose philanthropy, when melted
down, isn't worth sneezing at Bah
A man who loans out his money, does
not give It to stranger. in trust
aud when charity and benevolenoe is to
be manifested; for the credit Of humani-
ty, let us know who 1t is. that is about
to take charge Of the funds thus dona-
ted.
We have an abiding faith ID the
honesty Of mankind at large, and
are scrupulously particular in never
letting the least word escape us, by
which 1t might DO Feen that our
confidence Is ever shaken. As many
Of our readers may think that our
article the other day, shout disinteres-
cd philanthropy. has such a bearing ;
we hasten to correct any such errone.
GUS impression.
The Rev. Mr.. -----------, at whose
instance collection was taken up on
Sunday night, for SUNDAY school
Mission, has called on us with doc
umentary evidence, which seems to
prove conclusivcly that he is regularly
empowered to collect money for the
American Sunday School Union Of
