A GOOD LEGISLATURE.
We have fairly entered upon the fifth week OF the
sss.;oo. and thiGh among those who have wstched
tie proceedings OF tie Legislature since Its orgeuza-
zion in JanuaIy last, there can be veiy few, II any
who will not agree that lie present Legislature III
both branches, is Improvement on any Of ils pre-
deeessOrs for the past half dozen years. There seems
20 be more talent and ability than usual; more indus
Try and attention to the public busnessi a more earn
Est desire 10 scrunze and bills, and 10 pass
upon them on their meIi'si more individuality Of
Character or what Henry James would call sell-hood,
among the members, and therefore ess opportunity
for individuals cliques 10 run" the Legislature
10 short, more honesty and integrity. But Of this
last can perhaps judge accurately at the end
oil the sefsiOD than ION. OILY Say that present III
dcations give promise Of honest intelligent straight
forward legislation, not forgetting, In the me Tine
tbat most Of the predecessors Ut tbs Leg, atuIe
eiuce YOUR cOTrcst OIdeLt has bccu familiar III the
proceedings at tfs capital, have started ont with
great profess Ons Of public virtue. Tie apparent
difference between those and taese il that people
seem 10 make up their minds a. 10 the character OF
the prescott Legislature more from lie act. 70 far
than from its professions. Hence he hope Of good
things 70 come.
