The Legislature.

The Legislature adjourned on the 18Th,
after a session that reflects little credit on
its mem bers as body. While there
we're some men good and true in both
Houses, yet as body il has shown but
little kno Wedge of the real wants aud true
interests of the State. The most Of It's
time was taken up in voting to supply
members with stationery and postage
stamps, and nearly all the balance Of the
:ime in instructing Senator DooL1IrLE
what 10 do and what not 10 do. Its ex-
travagance and general incom2e,ency is
we'll summed up in few words by the
Madison correspondent of the Milwaukee
Neus, as follows:
This session, considered as a whole, is a
bad failure. Not measure for public
relief has succeeded. The soil is still to
pay nineteen twentieth. Of the taxes.
while capital invested in railroads and in
personal property almost entirely escapes;
and no measure has been allowed to pass
even looking to future relief. Ex:rava
gance has marked .the whole session
Every member has received fully Sl90 in
stamps. stationery, &c., of which $50 is
in stamps alone Add to this the amount
voted to various employ ees IA in number,
aud the total of stamps is estimated by
good judges to have cost fully $50 by
both houses. To This might be added
thousands Of dollars voted in the way Of
books, &c. and the aggregate Of this
session will scarcely be less than
$1OO 900.
Although the State tax last year was
81 $50 600, and drafts on the war fund
mainly ceased by July last. as the soldiers
had reached home, the treasury ls not
only drv, but the sum of 1929 600 has
actually been borrowed from the trus,
funds tc get through this year! shall
nc, be surprised 10 see bill passed to levy
mlliop of dollars of state taxes 10 cover
presen, deficiencies and to get through the
next session. Everything is shockingly
extravagant, and from an outside view,
no, especially honest, If not absolutely
corrupt. The future of the State looks
black enough, and not an effort has been
made TO improve its condition.

endorses Mr.. English. II it is the
Presidents idea to play the "good
Lord, good devip' game, he will not
succeed in pulling the wool over the
eyes Of the people--that has been
tried too often. If he intends to
drive the great body Of tie people
of the loyal North from his support,
he has only to make one or two more
such moves.
The people we're willing to forgive
the 22d of February speech, consid
ering it hasty and unprecedented.
But when he, substantially, reiterates
the same thing by endorsing a letter
that calls the majority Of Congress
disunionists, it is time to see where
he is going to land. The latter ACT
was done deliberately. The matter,
as between the President and Con
gress, stands like this /:
The "disloyal majority OF Con
gress" occupy the places to which
they wero elected. They were elect
ed by the loyal people. Further
they, as whole, still represent the
loyal people of the country, and it is
yet to be discovered il they have
done any disloyal act. Andrew
johnson was not the choice of the
people for the position he now occu
pies by foul assassination he has th'
place of Abraham Lincoln. This, o
course, was no fault OF his but afte
getting the position, he should ex
ercise little prudence in speaking
of class OF men who represent til,
great loyal people and whose loyalt.
is unimpeachable.
The people have given the Presiiden
every encouragement, and will do s,
MS long as is possible; but they vii
not be carried over TO the Copper
heads nor will they believe that tn
Members of Congress representing
them are disloyal.

lowing synopsis
The hand Of God is recognized in
the overthrow of slavery; all people
are of one blood and have implanted
in their minds q desire for election

does not mean idleness, but confers
upon the negro new duties, obliga-
tions, energies and purposes; they
have no wealth save their own hands,
and no knowledge save that Of un,
taught nature--must work, acquire
p. p.operty and educate; do not desire
social equality; have faith in the in
telligcnce and integrity of the great
mass of the American people, as well
as of Kentucky, and expect justice;
see in tue efforts of the late largest
Shareholders to do justice, a happy
omen of the future; think that the
Legislature of that State ere long will
do justice; have confidence in the
President aud think that he will car
