The Next Legislature.

The time will soon arrive when the
candidates for the next Legislature will
be selected. 1t is, unfortunately, too
notorious that our legislators of late
years have not been fair representa-
tives of the intelligence and ability of
their constituents. By means of party
machinery, township caucusses and
county conventions, the nominations
were placed practically in the hands
of few personS-styled, or styling
themselves '4eading men," and nomi~
nations for seats in the legislature
were given, not so much that the pub
lie might be well and honestly served,
but that some 'shaky townships might
be made all right" or some indefati-
gable worker of the party might be
put in the line eff preferment. Nomi-
nations of all parties having been thus
made, it is not matter of surprise
that the legislature of the State should
have, been controlled by lobby-agents
aud spectators in private bills, and
that legislation should have degener-
ated into strife between rival corpo-
rations.
We now need for legislators our best
men We need their counsel their
aid. We want their skill and expert
ence to be exerted in framing such
measures as are demanded by the
public exigencies We want a legis-
lature, which by its character and
ability will command the respect Of
the whole community. Such legis-
lature can be chosen if the people will
it but it cannot be done by the use
machinery adapted to an entirely diff
ferent purpose. Laying aside all par
ty feelings-looking only to the coun-
try, and respecting only the Jefferson.
ian standard-"Is he honest, is he ca
pable, is he faithful to the constitu-
ton Y"-let the people nominate for
themselves good men, in whose loyalty
and ability to well and truly serve
them they can place implicit conf
dence, and there will be no doubt of
their success. The people, generally,
judge correctly they will almost al
ways support a really good and able
man, and they very readily see through
pretenders to these titles. Give them
an opportunity to vote for our best
men for legislators, and we will be an
swerable for the result; and such
Legislature once chosen it will be
long time before it sinks down to its
old level.

POISONED MIME BALLS There is
the most positive evidence that poi
soned Mimic balls are used in the reDel
army, and evidence is afforded that
they are manufactured in the North.
Last week FIVE members of the Indiana
regiment, northwest Of the Chain
Bridge, were out scouting, and dis
covered party of about Seventy-fve
rebel troops. Our men concealed
themselves in the bushes, laid down,
and fred together They killed one
of the enemy the others fed, leaving
one, who hung over his dying comrade
probably a relative, until he was cap
tured. In his possession he discover
ed q number of MIME balls, each of
which had deposit of arsenic in it
covered with taliow. He was asked
what the object was in using these
balls He explained that the contents
was poison, that they had not many
of them yet, and were only used by
those sent out on picket or scouting
duty He said they came from the
North-that they had not received
many yet, but were promised a large
supply.
In connection with this, nay inform
ant, a very reliable brigade surgeon,
says that man was shot in the Four
teenth Massachusetts Regiment, by
rebel picket, whose body, Immediately
after the ball entered his flesh, sWelled
up, and the patient died. The case
was minutely described to him by
Capt. Bradley, Of Methuen, who is in
the Fourteenth Regiment. The sur
geon considers this a clear case Of

They are suffering not only from the
rigors Of the blockade, the prospect
of successful attacks upon their sea-
boards, along the line Of the Missis-
sippi, and possibly in other quarters,
but in many sections the seasons has
been particularly unfaYorable to their

REJECTING THEIR GOLD. An anus
ing scene occurred in the camp of a

Nearly opposite, on this side of the
river, Gen. McCall's division were in
camp. and the payInaster was counting
out the gold due to the troops, for
their services. Word was received of
what was going on over the river
The men sprang to their arms, an
ticipating an order to march The
regiment among whom the money was
being distributed turned their backs
upon the paymaster and his treasure,
as lift were a matter Of no account.
One man was signing receipt for his
yellow heap then lying on the. table /;
he dropped his pen and rushed for the
camp, leaving pen, paper, and gold to
take care of themselves. Another
hastily shouted Hold on to mine''
till tomorrow and 2arted from the
tent. The paymaster was left alone
with gold, with time to contemplate
the curious incidents of war.
