LEGAL LATIN
"a bill has been introduced into the Legi,-
laure Of Georgia, to prevent the use OF any Iatin
phrase In the legislative acts of that State -
Georgia will deserve all praise, and we seri.

In good time. In looking over Webster's una

WINGED that the English language Is fully ca pable

We would also suggest another Improvement,
thar OF doing away with Latin phrases In sheriff 8
srposis. I would ask how many OF our sheIins
understood the unadulterated Latin Whilst in
diting Oh these subjects, we would suggest short
ening or title papers In conveying real estate
leaving .'ways, water courses" where there Is no
water, as, also, "dog, devil, and fence, - &C.
With the exception of the courses and dis
tances a deed for real estate should be no more

learned in the law, if not in the languages.
We, however, question the wisdom Of his ad-
vice in favor Of unsettling legal practice of
many centuries duration, because it might
open the door To the preparation Of more
frauds and mistakes in plain English than are
now perpetrated in dog-we beg pardon of the

Five weeks from to-day, the election will
take place in Illinois, which will decide 70
many years the political character not only
OF this State but Of the Northwest. In
answer to at least two hundred letters fro N
other States asking for information as to the
probable result Of the election, we take this
method Of responding. From the best and
safest estimates gathered from the most care
full sources in ell quarters Of the State, the
estimates all agree that Fondsy and French
will be elected. The majority claimed,
however. vary very much. The lowest esti-
mated majority is six thousand, while by
others it is run up to ten, twelve, fifteen,
and as high as eighteen thousand. Our own
estimate is that they will have from ten to
twelve thousand over the Republicans.
The present legislature elected in 1856
was divided politically as follows:
SENATE ..........I3 ~
House .Js ~
Il -
Or one Democratic majority in each
house, and two on joint ballot. The next
legislature will be elected under the same
apportionment, and in the Senate there are
thirteen Senators who hold over Of these
eight are Democrats and five Republicans.
Consequently there are twelve Senators to
be chosen in districts now represented by
five Democrats aud seven Repdeaicans.
Seventy-fye members of the House Of Re-
representatives. have also to be chosen. The
estimates for the legislature all unite in Civ.
ing Democratic majority in each house.
and, on joint ballot, Of seven to ten. The
safest estimate, in our judgment, however,
is one which gives to the Democrats IA sen.
ators and 40 representatives, leaving the
SangamOn, Madison, Peoria, 10 Davies,
Stephenson, and Cook districts, which are
now all against us, unuisposed of. These
districts elect three senator's and thirteen
representatives, and while they cannot, in
case they elect all Republicans, overcome
the Democratic majority in the other por-
tions Of the State, any gain in them by the
Democrats will 60 to swell the Democratic
majority. We give these as the figures
based upon the present appearance of affairs
In making the calculation we have in every
instance computed the administration
vote upon legislative tickets with the Re.
publican, because it is admitted and openly
urged by the oflicc-holdcrs that where it 10
possible TO elect Republicans to the legis-
lature, it is the best policy to vote that
, ticket In the districts which we have
omitted TO classify, the Democrats expect to
make considerable gains. The Peoria and
10 Davies senator's ought to be elected, and
will be elected if the party make that'efIort
which We know they intend.
