IN TEE LEGISLATURE.

Both Houses Of the Legislature seem to
be awakening to the fact .ha. time flies,
and that for them time viii soon pe 10
more, at least for the presen. session, for
they have resolved TO hold additional sit
tings in the evening. Indeed, this IS the
only way to get through the necessary
business Of the session. for. IN regard 70
every measure that comes up, grea. deal
is found necessary to be said on both
sides of the question; 50 that a retardation
Of business is the inevitable consequence.
The greater portion Of the morning
session was spent in the discussion, on
its final passage, Of bill go provide for
Sratuitous vaccination and to protect the
State from the ravages Of smallpox
This bill had been introduced by Senator
Pierce, of Orleans, who stated tia. great
pains. Lad been taken il drawing It up, so
as to meet the public requirements. The
bill, in brief. provides for tie appointment
by the police juries Of the several parishes
in the State, Of one Or more physicians,
who shall gratuitously vaccinate all appli.
cants in their respective parishes. The
physicians thus appointed are to keep Gu
plicate records Of all operations, the
name, age, and residence Of the parties,
and whether each vaccination was sue
cessful or not For each successful vaccl
nation the police jury is to pay fee Of
fifty cents. 1t is made the duty OF every ply
sician thus appointed to visit the schools
of their parishes, report such children
as have not been vaccinated, whereupon
the division superintendent Of the schools
is to require such children 20 be vac
cinated. It was astonishing to hear the
amount Of debate this simple bill called
forth. One gentleman opposed il on the
ground that vaccination is not one OF the
certainties Of medical science, and the
utility Of the operation is not settled
question. Another gentleman opposed
because it was intended, he. avened. TO
render the public school system Of Lou
isiana a practical nullity. One Senator
proposed that the compensation should
be a matter Of bargain between the police
Jury ard the doctor: another, tha. the
doctor should receive ten cents -or each
case. The bill was finally amended so as
to make the vaccination fee twenty-five
cents per capita, and then, jus. as they
were approaching a conclusion, the matter
was cut short by call for executive ses-
sion.
Among other bills introduced n the
Senate, we find one Of considerable i'm
portance. This is bill to amend the act
Incorporating the Louisiana Savings Bank,
adding to the present title the words
making the same, also, sole depository
of moneys held by public officers, syndics,
receivers and representatives Of success
sions, minors, and persons absent or il
terdicted''
In the House, little or no business Of
public Importance was transacted. Mr..
Kinsefla gave notice Ola bill to provide
for the better observance of Sunday. The
bill was up for the relief Of Jacob Strauss,
in reference to the bonds which were i'm
posed upon him by the great departed,

NOT so NICE, POSSIBLY.

Many Catholic organs are assuming a
very comfortable position because in the
elections in France the clerical party
seems to have ''won the edge" They
hold the balance Of power as between the
republicans, the imperialists and the
monarchists, and as they are under the
influence Of the Pope, as Plus X directs,
France will have republic, q Eonaparte
or a Bourbon, because these three ele-
ments will contend for the mastery in the
Constituent Assembly. Is this nice little
assumption really so desirable? Bona
parte is accepted as the "eldes. son Of
the Church" the Bourbons have always
been Catholics. and the republic las been
for free religion. How viii the Pope
turn his back on Bonapar:e and the
Empress? How will lie reject the
family which has ever been faithful,
and which is connected with most
Of the great families Throughout. Europe?
If he goes back on the empire, tie impe-
rialists will strengthen the republicans,
and a revolution will certainly result
within five years. Ifhe helps the empire he
loses the support Of the stronges. family
in the world, for tie united houses Of Or
leans and Bourbon are connected with
history and aristocracy il every country.
1t is sore dilemma, and one tina. ought
to alarm rather than rejoice tie owner Of
the opportunity. The Pope is not in {:
condition to lose friends, and either horn
Of the difficulty is certain to ALLEVIATE some
strength from his projected crusade
for the recovery Of Rome. Probably If

they would caution him TO withdraw lis
hand from the game altogether, and let

hurry. But the resolution was deeper
than it was represented to be. 1t directed
that the investigation and adjustment
should be made in certain way and
none other, which gave Chorpenning all
he wanted, although his claim had been
three tines rejected by the government.
The secretary made the investigation and
adjustment as directed, and there he
stopped. He paid no money, nor ordered
any to be paid, for he was opposed to the
claim. And yet, because he did this thing
which be was bound to DO and which re-
suited in no harm, he is accused Of allow
ing and settling an old and fraudulent
account. When it became known in Con-
gress what had been done, a resolution
was promptly passed, refusing TO ac-
knowledge Chorpenning's claim, and di-
recting all government agents to reject it.
If Congress had refused to pass this
resolution in the excitement Of its closing
hours, none Of this groundless scandal
would have been heard of. And we hope
our Legislature will consider this case as
worthy of its attention, and refuse to defer
until the last hours of the session any
business which could be attended to
sooner. And particularly should the Legis-
lature set day after which no new bust
ness will be received. BY such pro-
ceeding it will stop the suggestion Of
smuggling bills through in the tumul. Of
the last hours.

. A TRICK WITH A LESSON IN IT.

Secretary Creswell has taken the
trouble to correct a scandalolls story
which has been put in circulation con-
corning the claim of q mail agent named
CLorpenning. Perhaps it was well
enough, too, that the secretary should do
this, because his correction viii call at
tention in the Legislative department Of
the United States government to a great
evil that exists in the manner Of doing
business. The most important bills are
left over until the last days of the session,
when they are necessarily rushed through
without that proper supervision which
should be given to public laws. And in
the tumult of the hour members are i'm
portuned to pass resolutions which they
are informed are all right by seemingly
responsible parties, but which are in
reality all wrong when printed in the
Statutes at Large" As. for instance, in
this Chorpenning case, on the last day OF
the session a member was requested to
pass resolution instructing the Post
master General to investigate and adjust
q certain claim which was before his de.
partment. The resolution was already
written, said the lobbyist, and all that was
necessary was to read it and have il
passed. No harm could come from
an investigation and adjustment,
! and the thing was done in 9

1t has not been developed as yet, to our
knowledge, that the Times is satisfied as
to the delay which has occurred in the
departure Of Minister Schenck for Eng
land. Some sign Or audible expression
would be acceptable to the public, and
especially to that portion Of It which IS
kept in trouble by its inability to appre-
ciate Journals that do not allow their
anxiety to become overwrougIt and
feverish about the movements Of great
men. General Schenck, it seems, has
some business to transact in Washington
which Will continue the delay IN his de-
parture for a considerable time 20 come,
and since that fact is known, the Times
ought to publish it in order 10 soften
down the uneasiness Which it originated
in this matter.

Delaware state Normal University.

BY the fourth annual report OF John c..
Hardness. of the State Normal University,
located in Wilmington, Delaware, we learn
that citizens of Wilmington have subscribed
to the site and building stock with such
hberality rs TO guarantee in reasonable
time the suitable accommodations of a first
class institu tor.
The most liberal OF all the generous con
tributors was Colonel Henry s. McComb
president of the New Orleans, jackson and
Great Northern railroad whose voluntary
subscription was fifteen thousand dollars, a
munificent sum, and the largest that has
ever been subscribed by an individual citi-
zen of Delaware to the cause of liberal and
popular education.
The cost OF the institution will he be-
tween fifty thousand and one hundred thou
sand dollars We are glad to note this
evidence Of the hberality of Colonel Ne
Comb, from whose capital and energy even
Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas will de-
rive substantial benefit in the promotion
and development of railroad interests.

4 vel rounded answer is pleasU1.ble
to our senses. The indignation OF the
Bulletin about Hobbies and jobs has be-
come chronic of late, which induces the
Times to recall certain season Of fes-
tivity, Of not very ancient date, wherein
the Democratic government Of The city of
New Orleans was caught partaking with
parties in the delights of contracts and
speculations that still shed an odor about
the City Hall Without descending to
particularities, it affords US great satistac-
ton to indorse the answer Of the Times
as being within all reason applicable to
the situation. When the friends of the
present city government say against it
what the friends Of the Democratic city
government said against it, then we shall
consider that the time has come when
the Bulletin may feel itself authorized to
discuss political speculations

within the last few days, it did not droop
sufficiently to indicate any great degree OF
timorousness among holders. The action
Of the House last night in passing bill in
validating the exclusive privileges OF the
company, may have a more serious effect.
Whether or not this action, even should
it take the form Of law, will be sustained
by the courts, is question which in
voles the right and the power Of the Leg
islature to grant special privileges of any
kind. Whatever may be the final result,
we may look for some remarkable stock

feature of the market at present is
the steady advance in Union Bank stock.
1t is stated that since the Inauguration of
the new direction the line of deposits has
nearly doubled. This fact alone ought
to improve the stock. In addition to this
the conversion Of the institution into
national bank, which is soon to take
place, makes it still more popular, mas
much as the stocks of all the national
banks but one are above par. Under
these circumstances Union Bank stock at
80 {the par being 40) is considered cheap.

There is to be an uptown hotel, according
to the present prospects, and such an insti-
tuition as can be made very profitable as
well as a convenience to visitors to the city.
We understand that a number of merchants
contemplate the purchase of an asylum
building on Magazine street, between st.
andrew and Josephine streets. for the pur
pose of converting it into a first-class hotel.
We hope the enterprise will shortly prove
TO be an accomplished fact.
