There is one peculiarly about this session
ofthe Legislature. AT the assembling ofeach
Legislature for many years, there has been
some one or more subjects Of pressing inter
est demanding immediate action. and TO
which public attention had been directed.
But at the present session there is nourgent
demand for action in any particular direc-
ton, but the business OF the Legislature
VIII be to carry on. the usual routine OF
legislative activity.
Legislation on local subjects is already
largely proposed. On laws Of general in
terest. We have noticed bills introduced or
proposed for the more cdectual protection
of sheep against dogs; relative 10 the ap-
pOintment Of guardians for minor children
for authorizing banks and bankers TO stamp
counterfeit and worthless bills in certain
cases: for the appointment Of an emigra-
ton agent 10 Europe; for encouraging the
production Of petroleum in this State: and
for reorganizing the State into Senatorial
and Representative Districts. Applications
from many localities have been made for
legislation in reference to bounty funds and
relief funds
