haf HoLrDAys We'll, The holidays
are over for once More III our life
time The gay and lively period of
the year has once more passed over
our heads, and we have again relapsed
into the routine Of every day business.
We are admohishel that we have one
year less In which to fulfill our allot-
ted duties ia the realms Of time, and
one less festive season in which to en-
joy the pleasing congratulations of our
friends. Er1 sF
The past year has IN many respects
been nh eventual one, in almost every
view which We can take of it. and
there are reasons to convince any one
that the present year is pregnant with
events of no less Importance than those
which have preceded il. We shall
neither moralize nor prophesy. We
shall leave matters internal and ex-
ternal, foreign and domestic, political
and social. TO settle themselves accord
ing to the laws of Manifest Destiny.
We shall only express our sanguine
hopes that the present year may be
crowned with happiness, prosperity
and good health to the eitizens Of our
country, and that abroad, wars aud
hloodshed shall cease, and that knowl-
edge, virtue and liberty may abound

The Legislature.


assemble in this place What they
will do, during their sixty days ses
sion we cannot say.
What they ought to do, we can bet
ter decide, though we will not take
the trouble to do so ON the present
occasion. We think, however, with
all difference to the wisdom) that
they ought to do few things, and
to leave few things alone. In the
first place we submit, that they ought
Gas far as possible) to refrain from
committing such plain an open viola
tions Of the Constitution, as they have
committed for the past few years. We
hope they will try to pass a registry
law, which will carry out the plain
provisions ofthe constitution, and pre-
vent fraudulent voting
We hope they will not attempt to
violate a plain provision of the same
Constitution, for the purpose Of con
fering more patronage upon q parti-
san executive. We hope that they
will refrain from passing laws, in ig-
noranco that the desired object was
long since, carried out by preceding
legislature We hope that they will
take care to pass laws, which reasona-
bic, sensible courts can construe, and
not attempt farther to tax the brains
of our weary Judges with enigmas and
baby-simethiani mysteries.
We hope that they will attempt to
correct some of The abuses, into which
some of our new tangled Judges have
attempted to bring our jurisprudence.
In fine we hope that without fear
or favor, without demagoguism Or any
other modern influence. our 1egisla-
ture will attempt to carry out their du,
ties, and lot alone the petty scheming
and wire-working which has hitherto
brought them into disrepute and cen
sure' ad} ri Cd + ID tfiv icdW
Among the most important matters
which will come before our honorable
body, at this session will be the elee-
ton Of a z. S. Senator, in place Of
the Hon. John slidell. iIr. Slidell
wants to 60 back to the Senate. Gov.
lIebert wants to go there too. The
Democracy are raising an awful rum
pus about the elaine of the two hon
orable gentleman, fuss which almost
Threatens the dissolution of that time
honored party. So far as we are con
we stand clear of the smoke
and dust of the battle, and say "Hur-
ra for one, and we'll done for the 9th
er." ..5.s -
If the legislature in their wisdom
can find better man than either
which we somewhat doubD VIC have
only to say "Go ahead"
But we will only express the hope
that this election may be, in some
measures free from the corrupting in
Aucnces Of those which have preceded
It. If not, we will hope for better
things hereafter. "There is a good
time coming" one Of these days, when
"Od things will have passed away,
and all things have become new"
We hope the action Of the coming
legislature will be such as to shadow
forth the coming Of Che good time. If
