NEGRO TESTIMONY.

The Democrats of the Legislature,
said Governor Leslie. had been arraigued
by General Harlan for not passing the
negro testimony bill but the truth was
that majority of Democrats were in
favor of that bill The trouble was,
however, that their constituents had in
structed them to vote against it, and be
ing believers 10 the right of instruction,
they had been compelled to obey He,
himself was in that category. The peo-
pie will, without doubt, instruct them
next time to vote for the bill.

now they come to grief. A radical paper
in Philadelphia has figured it up, and
finds that the President has Travelled ex-

The Chicago papers are criticislng
Col. Turner's bill to give to the women
of Illinois all the rights peculiar to
men, except to bear arms and cast the
ballot. If the women of Illinois wish
TO bear arms as well as children why
should they be denied the right? and
if step is to be taken toward the
equality Of women with men, why
should not the legislature make the full
journey at this time? "All or nothing

IT is the opinion of many honest cit
liens that the proceedings Of the legis-
lature should be officially reported at
the expense of the state. 1t is the
opinion of the Chicago Times that any
person who thus believes and gives ex
preston to the belief is thief in fact
or intention aud the Times, in charac-
teristically rough language, very fire.
quently makes declaration of this opin-
ion. Indeed, the use Of such epithets,
the skillful handling of the weapons of
abuse, gives to that paper all the influence
it has. When it desires to have meas
urc adopted by the legislature it in
forms the members that they are thieves,
and that the public will find them out
unless they should do as it wishes them
TO do aud when it concludes to crush
a proposed measure it proceeds with
venomous haste 70 denouuce its authors
and its advocates as thieves in contras
with whom the robbers confined in tn
penifanfiary are honest men. In thi
way it defeated the reporting steal t
few months ago, and is now seeking tC
defeat the proposition to revive it al
this session. "The thieves die hard,
shouts the Times. Impeled solely by
"a lingering hope of plumber, they are
again on hand, piteously asking for
only small steal, of course, as the
entering wedge to big one Now,
the people in the southern part of the
state are certainly as much opposed
to thievery at the capital as are the
people of any other part of the state.
! They have good reason to be. They
are always the robbed when thievery is
successful But we believe they do not
look upon the proposition to officially
report the proceedings Of the legislature
as "a steal. TN the contrary, they re-
gard the proposition to report the pro-
ceedings as proposition in the interest
of honesty. Under the present system,
member of the legislature may be
handled by Chicago or any other briber,
and he can "hidc behind the bush y
but if he were certain that the official
record would follow him, and be Haunted
consp'cuouSly in the eyes of the public,
"Chicago steals and other steals would
be less frequent We cannot see the
proposition to officially report the legis-
lative proceedings through the green
goggles of the Times, To our vision
it has the appearance of honesty, ant
we hope the legislature, disregardins
the outgivings Of the venomous Times
may adopt it without hesitation.
