Legislative Duties!

In the early history of our party poll
tics, Congress was in the habit of assu-
ming to make the nominations of candi-
dates for the people. But this custom
became very unpopular, snd was finally
driven out of use.
1t was partially revived in the early
part of ga, by some of our State Legis.
latures. We felt then that the assump-
tion of such offices by men chosen for
very different purpose, was dangerous to
liberty. OF course all then agreed that
Mr.. Lincoln should be re nominated and
therefore the interference of Legislative
bodies to do simply what the people would
certainly do if left to themselves, was
passed over in silence. We we'll remem.
Der our own reflections upon the occasion
of our own Legislature signing memo
rial notifying the President that we look
cd to him to be his own successor We felt
however that although not comm endable, it
was still allowable provided it would not
be made precedent for future guidance.
Since then. VIC have noticed no fresh in.
stance of the interference of the Legis
lature in the affairs of the people, until
very recently. Wewere somewhat griev-
ed at the commencement of the past ses-
sion. to notice what we thought was an
unusual amount of industry. Gov. Cur
tin, whose health, under the pressure of
official du.y, had given away, was spen.
ding few weeks in Cuba, under the di-
rections of his Physicians. He was ad-
vised that it was dangerous to return ear
lier than February, under these circum-
stances an effort was made to adjourn the
Legislature, so that the Governor might
feel that his presence was not seriously
desired at home. But our industrious
Legislators could find no time to consult
the interest or health of the Governor.
They must attend 20 the interest of the
State Time passes, the Governor re-
turns. The working part of the session
approaches, the committees are at work,
every thing looks like work. But alas |!
change comes over the spirit Of their
dreams. Cnrtin's successor is to be Sc
lected, and this cannot be properly done
without the adjournment of the Legisla-
turel They adjourn forthwith, and seat
ter themselves over the State to '.set up"
the nomination We don't know how
our members voted on this motion to ad-
journ ten days in the throng of the ses-
sion, and have, therefore, no personal
reference in our remarks. We only men
tion the subject now, to enter our solemn
protest against its recurrence in the fu-
ture.

HEALTH OF LIEUT. GEN. GRANT AND
FAMILY.-Gen Grants health has not
been as good of late as could be desired
On last Monday morning he addressed his
affectionate companion and said Wife
| think | shall be compelled to make a
visit to Cuba for my health. The reor-
ganizstion oi the army has beena greater
task upon me than all the campaign of
the wilderness, and siege of Richmod,
and my physician says must take some
recreation.
The family were bathed in tears, but
Mrs Grant with smile worthy of her
sex, exclaimed My dear Ulysis | can
not think of seeing you go to Cuba, |
can tell you what will be much better
for you. Go to the Fox hunt and | will
accompany you. Yes says little Willie,
and | will 90 and be a Lieutenant 1t is
unnecessary to say he consented. Brig.
Gen. White has appointed Willie a Colo
mel, and comanding position in Millers
orchard has been reserved for the Gener-
al aBd his wife.
GocD ORDER.-It is matter of no small
Importance to have good order in neigh
borhood. 1t makes society pleasaut.-
1t adds to the security and happiness of
all. 1t makes the neigh borhood desira-
BILE. 1t increases the value of property.
1t isa credit to any neighborhood, to have
that discipline which is necessary to con-
duct ring hunt successfully. The man
who keeps his place will get to the centre
just as soon, will not spoil the hunt by
being disorderly and will go home better
satisfied With himself and every body else.
Good order at Fox hunt is an index
to good order in schools, churches and
all public meetings Of neighborhood.
