JUsr Soi-The Philadelphia Inquirer
hopes the wholesale character of the gift
demonstrations by members at the close of
the legislative session is not to be considered
a precedent. If the members choose to
make the subordinate officers presents, well
and good, it is only the business of the par
ties concerned-but public display of mis-
cellaneous merchandise in the halls of the
Legislature, and making their presentation
a part of the public business, is not in very
good taste. Hereafter, such scenes had bet
ter take place at the hotels, after adjourn
ment, where they would be entirely in order

Tho drought in Cuba has greatly injured
the crops; the planters will be content to
secure two-thirds crop, and they cannot
realize even that much unless rain sets in

Foreign immigration into Virginia is des-
tined TO be failure. The system of treat
ment practiced toward slaves is too deeply en-
grated upon the Southern mind to render
them capable of treating white laborers as
they should. The present generation must
pass away before the South can adapt itself
to the requirements of white labor.

Adjournment of the Legislature.

The Pennsylvania Legislature adjourned
on Thursday, April lIth. The Senate, IN
accordance with the provisions of the Con
stiyution, before its adjournment, proceeded
to elect Speaker, whereupon Hon. j. l..
Graham, of Allegheny, was eiected-the
Democrats voting for w. A. Wallace, Esq,
of Clarified Speaker Hall, before retiring
thanked the Senate for their support during
his term. In the House, resolutions OF
thanks to Speaker Glass. were passed, and
he was also presented with china and silver
sets, gold watch aud silver salver from mem
bers Of both sides, and the officers. Speak
er Glass, in his closing remarks, charged
the Senate with the responsibility OF defeat
ing the free railroad law. At 12 clock, NJ.
both branches adjourned sine die.
During It's session of sixty working days.
the Legislature passed one thousand SIX
hundred and ffty-two bills and sixteen joint
resolutions. OF these, one thousand two
hundred and eighty had been signed by
the Governor up to the hour OF adjourn
matchmaking an average of nearly twenty
eight laws per day, as having been placed
upon the statute books during the past ses-
sion.

islature, are of public benefit. and will be

large communities in various sections of the
Commonwealth Justice to the people IN
the Southwestern part of the State would
have restored to the Connellsville railroad
company all its privileges to complete that
great thoroughfare, but the Legislature
thought otherwise The mass of the peo-
pie favored the passage of general or free ,
railroad law, but their servants diSre-
garded that favorable expression and defeat

ability by their immediate constituency for
their action in reference to these two meas
ures. is manifest from the tone of their home
papers. This is right. If the people elect
men to attend to what they believe to be
''of the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber,'' their wishes should be complied with,
unless manifestly and radically wrong. If
the people chosenrepresentatives disregard
their will, then let all such be cast aside as
unworthy of confidence, and in the future
endeavor to elect better men. Should this
course be adopted by the people, we should
soon have Legislature that would be en-
tirely above suspicion-a Legislature that
would only look to the best intererts of its
constituents, aud the development of the
still hidden and inexhaustible resources of
this great and growing Commonwealth.
