The Legislatures Of the different
States seem to be gain ng an mn
enviable notoriety for incapacity
and dishonesty, and general re-
form is called for. Even MaSsa-
chusetts claims to have in her
Legislature an unmitigated set of
blockheads. The eccentricities of
New York and Pennsylvania have
already been well ventilated, but
California caps the climax by des-
ignating. her last Legislature as

The Sequel to the acknowledgements

The concluding chapter in the
recent Catalonia vendetta, Wnere-
in Gen. Iiddell, Col. Jones ana son
were killed, has yet to be re ateo.
Afew days ago Mrs. Charles Jones:
with her two daughters ana It
Young son, reached the mouth OF
the river in the German steamer.
She had hurried from HeidelD"rg
Germany, where she has been re-
siding for some time superlnten-
ding the education OF her emil
dren, expecting to meet her nus
band and two sons in the city, en-,
t;rrlv unconscious OF their sau
fate. When tho steamer crossed
the bar, the pilot who came
aboard was asked by Mrs. Jones
if he knew Colonel Charles jones'
of Catahouh. The reply was
that he had heard of him, but de-
clining or cvading any further
conversation, the lady's curiosity
was excited, and she was filled
with gloomy apprehension OF some
impending calamity. These APP
prehensiOns were very natural IN
a lady, who had been for SO many
wears cognizant OF. the bitter 1ueu
which had so long existed be-
tween her husband and Gen. Lid-
dell, and who more than twenty
wears ago had witnessed the cruei
and nearly mortal wound'ng OF
her husband in the incident when
gave rise to this feud. The kind
" pilot, who could not bear to
communicate to Mrs. Jones d.
rectly the sad intelligence OF her
husbands fate, whispered it to
some passengers, who informed
Mrs. Jones that she must prepare
herself for some sorrowful news
on reaching the city. She retired
to her stateroom, and there re-
manned in state of distressing
grief and anxiety until the steam
or reached the city. On the ar
rival at the wharf, almost the
first who boarded the steamer
was young Jones, the survivor OF
the awful tragedy at HARRISON
burg. He rushed into his meth
er's room, and was the first to
communicate the terrible truth to
his>mother. We shall not attempt
to describe the scene which fol-
lowed. Kind friends took charge
of the afflicted lady. After re-
maiuing here but Il few days, she
left to return to Germany with
her family, and devote the re-
mainder other life to the education
Of her children. May time as
snage the great sorrows of this
afflicted lady, and may her re-
naming days, though ever sor-
rowful, be u,disturbed by further
griefs and aff1ictions.-N.O 0. Times.

16, 1870, directs that an amend

following:
"Article fifty of the constitu-

Governor shall be Ineligible for

We regret the miscarriage
or non-arrival Of Capt. McCranie's
former letter. His relations to
leading men in Congress gave
him access to their confidence
which would have enabled him to
impart information and base con-
lectures relating to the Congress
sional contest and other business
at the Capitol, which could not
fail to interest the most inditfer-
ert spectator of national troubles,
wrangles, and complexities. His
many friends, grateful for the
service he has done them, anX-
iously anticipate his return at an
early day, when we expect he
may deem it to the interest of the
public to make good their'loss by
recapitulating the doings Of Con-
gress during his sojourn in Wash
ington.

the duty of the Grand jury and
enioined them to be secret and
cautious in their Investigations;
