TheTeoisInture.

The regular session of the General Assembly
virtually closed on Saturday night as no laws
could be enacted at later period, under the re-
strictionr or limitations of the Constitution. The
revenue and appropriation bills, both general and
specific, were passed, but beyond this but little
was accomplished of general interest. An en-
be .zlement law was enacted, intended to compel
Republican Office holders to be honest, but we
doubt whether the result will show any more in
e. rity upon the part of the present incumbents
tn n their predecessors, and we think our Repubi
cal friends will find holes large enough in
the act to drive an OK wagon through them.
ASIDE from those we have named, but few laws
of general interest have been passed. In fact,
the present Legislature has been more barren in
good works than any previous one since the State
was organized. In few days we shall give a
summary of the acts of the present Legislature,
for such was the confusion on Saturday, in both
branches, that it is almost impossible to report
Just what has been done. We think the people
OF the State will be disappointed in the action of
the General Assembly. The Republicans obtained,
power, however. by representing that the Demo
critic Administration had been extravagant and
prAigate, and by the promise of retrenchment
AMI reform in the public expenditures. In this
gard the results will show that there will be
bu little, if any, improvement for the better.
Tie entire legislation of the present Assembly
vii demonstrate that party and partizan interests
have influenced its action. That consideration
seems to have predominated. The public vel
fare not consulted, unless party interests
I'D thereby be promoted. A desire for change
in he administration of public affairs often over
rr-es every other consideration in the public
mind. This impulse or sentiment has occasion
ALL defeated the Democratic party, but expert
en- e has shown that the public interests have not
BEEN advanced or promoted by the change. We
are confident that the present experiment of
Republican administration wiz convince the peo-
PIE of Indiana that the public interests will not
be advanced or subseryed thereby.

and urges the absolute necessity of striking n

Upon this point he throws all the energies of his

Dr.. Brownson to the careful attention of our

may besIow upon its perusal; as, apart from
