tennessee Legislature.

The present session Of this body begins
with every prospect of its being long and la
horizons. We cannot see how it can be 9th
eFwise. The necessities Of the people ia
crease with their advancement, and much ad-
ditionsl Legislation is requisite on questions
tpTung by the war.
The passage Of new lava, the perfection
of those partially insufficient and the repeal
Of those that are unWise aud unnecessary, is
n work Of greater magnitude than ever de-
volyed upon any preceding Legislature.
Law-making was no difficult task at the
close Of the war. The light Of a recent and
terrible experience directed the mind aad
fully revealed the duties Of the Legislator.
He had but Que path to tread, and the guide
board extended along the whole line. But
now, having restored the shattered machine
~ Of the State government to running order,
he has TO devise measures to arouse the peo-
PIE to zeal and energy, in those enterprises
that will secure their educational progress,
commercial thrin and social happiness.
Most happily FOR rs, the present LegisIa-
ture is composed Of mrn who know and fully
appreciate ouE necessities, and have the sense
aud good judgment - pr9vide such legis!a-
ton ss will completely meet them.
They are men Of liberal and expended
ideas, in no wise cNntracted by that old
spirit OF fgyism that would chain uI to a
Procrustsan bed of worn-out theories and
practices, and erect a barrier in our path
way 10 the greatness, power aud general ed
u%ea;iou, which is our destiny,
The present Legislature has performed
every duty as nearly and completely as il was
possible for hllibls men to do. They have
erected A monument to their homer, that will
last until time shall fold his wing" by
bringing the State out Of the %oonvulsiOn' Of
4 terrible civil war, aud plae.ag around i!
those safeguards, that will forever preclude
the possibility Of the recurrence Of its former
niSiOrtanss.
