The CELEBRITY of lie gislation at the extra sessio
due in part to the fact that those desiring egis
lation came well prepared, and in part to the other
fac, that the Legislature came prepared for quick
work. Five Important railroad acts passed. a
commission authorized to investigate the diff
cuties in railway facilities for the business Of the
State, and lew acts Of less importance were also
passed-ten acts, all in two days; yet new legis-
lature would hardly get through the same bills in
two weeks. The advantage of having Legisla-
ture organized at the start is obvious to sug
gest to our mind the query whether State officers,
Seuate and House elected for two years, with an
nual sessions and statute requiring the Grand List
to be returned annually to the Secretary of State,
or State Treasurer, in season to be made up and
ported the first day Of the session would not be
a decided improvement in the economical working
Of the wheels of government The Grand List
should be made up in any event, thus dispensing
with two clerks and removing one of the heaviest
drags on every Legislature.

SOUTHERN DrsGUsr WITH THE PRESIDENT
Since the utter hepessncss Of the President, as
against Congress, has been made apparent, he
gets little consideration in the South. This may
be ungrateiul in the Southern people, but it is
human nature. The Macon (Ga.) journal and
Messenger in an article upon the Presidents en-
forcement Of the reconstruction bill which he had
denounced as unconstitutional and oppressive,
says;
And now we hope President Johnson's oppo-
sition to the government will cease. lie was OPP
posed to 1t so long, and induced our people TO
oppose it so long holding out to the false idea
that he would do something for us, that he has
done MS infinitely more harm than all other men
and all other causes combined. But for him we
would long ago have been admitted into the Union
. and upon far better terms than shall now be
able to obtain. lie has been the most effective
enemy we have had. Our noble President, after
believing in the cities of the West, like one of
the mad prairie bulls of that great section, now
roars You gently any sucking dove All
the thunder which he poured against Congress-
from the Olympus Of the White House, turns out
to be Pickwickian thunder. so far as Congress is
concerned, but it has recOiled with deadly effect
upon the Presidents Southern friends And
such is President Johnson-such the man who has
lured us on to our destruction Let us have done
with all this knavery and folly We prefer trust
ing fate to open enemies to Trusting it 10 false
friends We prefer old Ben Wade, old Thad
Stevens, and old Horace Greeley to johnson OF
Tennessee and johnson Of Mary land.
Senator Sherman declared that if the south
err people complained that the military act was
harsh, they had their northern democratic friends
to thank for it, since they had voted down an
amendment which was quite mitigation of the
severity Of the original bill, This is so, and we
have good many other things TO thank our north
ern democratic friends for We have to thank
them that they encouraged us to secede, and then
whipped for doing So We have to thank
them that since the cessation of the they have
again fed us with false hopes. We have to thank
them for keeping up the desperation of the north
crn people against u.s. The northern democracy
have lent helping hand wherever failure has been
certain to be the result; and now the eXigency de-
mands new men, new measures, and new policy.
Men who formerly led at the South are not up to
the demands Of the crisis. We need an infusion
of new and vigorous young blood into the veins
Of our government policy-blood that has been
generated under the present circumstances-our
immediate surroundings. The old-fogy politicians
and fossil remains of antiquated press are not
capable of approaching present position. Nour-
ished in their infancy and fed in their prime upon
ideas which have been forever destroyed they are
starving in their old age by endeavorng to live
upon the shadows that yet inger behind the sub

poor, begging starving printer rarely can own his

the people do not want such printers as that so we

any sort who cannot annually save more than his
