Reckless Legislation.

like Tennessee for reckless legisl'
ton In Nashville it assumes th
. appearance of a pestilence. Gu
rulers seem to think that legisls
ton is an amuseinent-a game
something to vile Away the ted
: Gus hours of a session.
1t was not SO few years ago
but then there were men of grea
capacity in the capitol in the exec
utive councils. At the presen
time, it is a very difficult matter t
obtain a Senator or Representa-
tive above the capacity of saloon
lounger, or a briefess pettifogger
or a sleepy believer in and drones
owes truisms; and it would seen
as if with the adoption Of the
constitution of 1865, radicalisn
mot only ruled the sections of thai
instrument, but infused itself into
the minds and manners of those
who were to fill office under it.
Contrast the Senate and House of
Representatives of today with
those Of the years when men like
Robert Hatton, A. O. P. Nichol-
son, VIM. Vance Thompson, Dan.
iel S. Donelson, John NJ. Bright,
Frank c. Huntington, Henry
Cooper, John w. Richardson, 10.
C. Guild, Thomas Menees, etc. etc.
occupied seats in the chambers and
in the committee rooms, and spoke
with force and eloquence to crowd
ed galleries and through the press
to each Of the nearly one hun
dred counties. We had then
partisan legislation without doubt
and sometimes selfish legisla-
ton; but there was none of that
reckless legislation ; which now
seems to reign supreme in the cap
itol, particularly in the House of
Representatives. By the word
RECKLESS" we intend to express
a malicious-always selfsh-pre.
paration of bills and reports and
for enactment, and a.
union on party lines, or in the spir-
it ola clique, torush them through
without time for inquiry, opportu-
nifty for debate, or hearing of re-
Statutes thus re-
ceive the character of mass meet
ing resolutions; and it is an I'M
fact that caucuses are as
common nowadays over State
laws as over party appointments.
The details of these measures may
be discussed in political privacy,
and the dove-tailing made to suit
peculiar partisan opinions; but
when thus perfected outof the hall,
they are crammed down the Threats
of the minority scarcely with de-
bate, and with sneering at pro-
tests.
The franchise bill-the great
feature of the sessions an in
stance of this evil. For a time
the majority sat and listened to the
without deigning to an
swer or enter into discussion; but it I
was the courtesy of the Havana
court, who will say to an unhappy
Pinto-"Say what you please in
your defense, but you shall be gar
roted afterwords!" If they ex-
tended opportunity for amend
they took good care to state
beforehand that allof them would
be voted down.
Instances could be accumulated
which would show this same spirit
Of rash, vindictive, crude, mali
,ious, and dangerous legislation,
that can be no better described
than by the word RECKLESS" but
instances need not be accumulated.
Our readers and all thinking citi-
zens must be blind not to see them.

The New York Supreme Court
has just decided an important case
under their law, in which mar
ried woman, in business conducted
by herself, had amassed the means
of furnishing her house. In an
action of debt against her husband
by third party, the furniture
was seized and a part Of it sold.
She claimed damages, and the
full value of the furniture sold
with interest was awarded her.
The decision of the Court was in
effect that the wife's property earn
ed by herself, was not liable for
the husbands debts.

WASHINGTON. April 10. 1865

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1866.
There was a great crowd last
evening to hear the speech of the
President at the White House.
He spoke for nearly an hour, and
is denounced to-day more freely
than ever. Threats of impeach-
ment are freely made, and secret
caucuses are being held by the
Radicals for the purpose of matu-
ring plan. The partisans of the
President declare that if they at
tempt such an act of violence, he
will use his authority as Comman-
der-in-Chief of the, army; arrest
the conspirators; and call out q
a force to protect the Government.
1t is believed that Gen. Grant sus-
tains this view of the case.

THE INITIATIVE POWERS OF
THE RADICALS.

The radicals this year seem to have be-
come creatures Of imitation-quite as much
so as monkeys are. The conservatives called
national convention at Philadelphia, and
the radicals initiated their example; the con.
seryatives called soldiers and sailors con-
yertion at Cleveland, and the radicals imi.
tated them at Pittsburg. Then they fell to
Initiating each other.
THE President removed an office-holdel
and he wrote letter denouncing The Pres
DENTS policy. and from that time every re
moved radical office-holder who is inclined te
be "smart" shoots his blunt little Parthiar
arrow at the White House, whore they full

from the trees in the public grounds

Hon. Wiiiiam II. Susurd, Secretary Of STATE,
Warrington:
SIR: I have the honor to inform you that
the evacuation Of this port and State by the
French squadron and land forces will take
place on the l4th Instant ] have been off,
cially informed Of this fact by the Admiral
in command. The preparations for embark.
alton which have been going on for few
days, and the fact Of the withdrawal Of these
forces, have created q panic among the pop
ulation, both native and foreign, and, in
consequence, the steamer which leaves on
the 18th for Mazatlan and San Francisco will
be crowded beyond her capacity.
The French portion of the community and
Mexicans who have been compromised, or
who have given their supportto to the Empire,
are making every exertion to escape the al
most certain retribution which awaits them
at the hands Of the incoming Liberals.
The merchants and respectable families
not compromised in these political difficult
ties, apprehending dangers from the lower
classes during the interim Of the withdrawal
Of the French troops and the entering of the
Liberal forces, have sought the protection of
this consulate.
As no one here appeared to be able to sug-
gest or to move in plan to protect the place
from rapine and murder, I informed the
admiral and the commanders Of the place
that would communicate the fact and the
time Of the withdrawal Of the troops to Gov.
PEsQuIRA, chief Of the Liberal forces Of the
State, in order that he might be ready to
take possession Immediately, and thereby
guarantee order and security.
With the appreciation Of these officers 1
\ have dispatched messenger to General
PEsQUIRA with this information, and with an
appeal to his generosity in behalf Of those
who ore threatened with ruin and who are
now preparing to fec tho country.
trust his answer will be conciliatory and
humane.
The knowledge Of the fact of my having
communicated with PEsQUIRA has restored
quiet to the place, and many hope yet to be
able to remain in their homes.
The steamer for San Francisco will leave
on the 18th, when I may be able to report
the city quiet-again in possession of the
officers Of the Constitutional Government
have the honor to be, very respectfully
your obedient servant,
