From the State Capital.

ia Our dispatches from Baton Rouge contain several
items Of interest from Senate and House. In the
Senate Mr.. Ryan, Of Rapides, introduced bill grant
ing appeals to the Supreme Court nRall contested
election cases where the salary exceeds three hundred
dollars. Having nothing but the Geographic state
$ment to go upon, Of course we cannot pronounce
Judgment editoriay upon the bill in detail, But,
having much respect for Senator Ryan's legal acu-
men, we are confident he has drawn up a bill that
wall meet future cases. Some law should be passed
that will put end to contested election cases speed
y sunsnarily and finally. It is true, here in New
Orleans we have law providing for contested cleo
lions, and although it is final and conclusive in its
operation, still appears as though we We're never
going to get through with them, while hundreds of
men-many of them no doubt innocent Of crime-are
ncarcerated in the Parish Prison and cannot obtain
trial. owing to the great time these cases have con
sumed. A speeder mode should be adopted by law.
But when we see the BILL we will be Athletic speak adj
visedy and tell whether we approve it not.
| The time Of the House was consumed in deciding
contested election cases but at the rate the majority
are speeding quick work will be made. The poltica
guiilotne they have at Baton Rouge, beats the one
they lid at Paris during the reign Of /" intense
liberty all hollow. What a great pity there are s.
few heads to chop off The scarcity of the materia
should induce the majority to be more chary in thei
practice! IF they don't, they Il soon spoil the fun
We do not believe the report in circulation that til
majority intend to compel the last American membe
to dance the Sailors Honppe on the top of the stat
which is fixed OH the top of the State House, fron
which float the stars and stripes when the House is i
