The Legislature.


The Legislature is not getting along
very rapidly with its business. There
have been good many bills reported;
but few comparatively have been acted
upon. The Statesman, The other day,
claimed credit for the majority, on account
of the large number Of bills that have been
reported, but if there be merit in The fact
it should in large degree be conferred
upon the Republican members, for we are
told by gentlemen who know all about it,
that two thirds of the bills have been
drawn and presented by the Republican
members. Yesterday the sub-reasury
bill came up in committee Of the Whole,
but its friends were not ready for the dis
cussion, and the bill was given the 60 by.
Mr.. Brooke said he had great many
facts to present in regard to the bill, but
he was not ready just then to speak them
out. So the bill was passed over, and
the House, like Nh. Pugh, "is waiting
for the facts" ... ...
The House has repealed the law OF the
last session, concerning church property,
upon which we may have something to
say hereafter. The bill concerning the
Canal contracts still fingers in the House,
and it bids fair to become as much mat.
ter of contention this year as il was last.
The present bill, we understand, as orig
inally drawn, was sort Of compromise,
assenied 10 by the Attorney General, and
the counsel Of the contractors, and it was
expected to 60 through without much
trouble; but the debate in the Senate,
and especially the speech of Senator
Buckland, frightened the faithful. and
they inserted an amendment into ii, which
very materially changes its whole char
acter. The bill is now in the House, and
when it will get out of the House is a
matter of uncertainty. Not any Of the
repeal bills have as vet become laws
We shall probably have the slave jail bill
in due form Of law in few days. The
people cannot bui be thankful for such a
blessed reform as this bill contemplates.
The right to be taxed 10 build jails to i'm

and really live political organization with
which an effective opposition can be made
to the ruinous radiOalism and reckless de-
pravily Of the Democracy. Recent events
have demonstrated the propriety of ad-
ding to the peculiar and distinctive prin-
ciples Of the American party other con-
servative doctrines in regard to issues
which have again become pertinent to our
national policy, and if this shall be done
the organization of a great and successful
national party will be achieved, and
platform of principles will be presented
upon which national, Union men Of all
parties can stand firmly and consistently
together and go steadily to consummate
glorious and permanent victory.

Death of Henry Nancy


In recording the death of HENRY Nancy,
Esq, We are performing most uagrateful
task. We have known him Intimately, in all
the relations.of life, from boyhood, and in him
as few faults as could well be predicated of
humanity. We trod with him the fowery
paths of school life, when young life was
maying, and hope was forming its joying
promises of a bright mani 3D. He then dis
tinguished himself for fine intellectual powers,
and noble and unselfish generosity, which
drew to him the respect and affection of his
companions. From the College he made an
excursion to Europe, and the Orient, whence,
from actual view of the ancient classic
grounds, and the swollen tide of modern com
merce and enterprise, he returned with
thorough education further polished, an in
tellect expanded, and a general knowledge OF
the institutions, habits, manners and businesses
of the world. With these advantages he
commenced the study of the law in this city,
to which he applied himself with great en-
ergy and devotion. Being admitted to the
Bar, he soon after assumed the editorial CHAIR
of the Daly Gazsate, of this city. first as as
sistant and afterwards as principal, which ne
h, Id for three or four years. and in which he
made a wide and enviable reputation. as
close and quick thinker. an able and frank
reasoner a bold and fearless controverslallst,
and a smooth and polished writer. On retlr-
ing from the position of Editor, he resumed
the active practice of his profession; but was
after few months called, by the unanimous
voice of his party friends, to represent the
counties of Davidson, Robertson and Mont
pomsry, in the House of Il representatives. OF
the General Assembly of the State lie took
his seat in that body as one among the young
est and most brilliant of its members HIS
health soon after iailod to some extent, by
which the p rformance of his duties was en-
barrassed. During the winter he made brief
tour to the South, which benefited him con-
sid -rabIy but at the close of the session he
foand himself again in a failing condition
II gradually sank until yesterday about one
O'Clock, when his high young heart refused its
Office, and he di d. His age was twenty-five.
His dis ase that of the heart. Thus briefly
and brightly his career was made, and thus
end d and thus mournfully We make the sad
chronicle of it.
