THE LEGISLATURE.

Under the New Constitution, manufac-
tured By a retrenching Convention of ex-
rebols, a Legislative session is limited to
three months. Our present law-making
body has maintained the august presence
of a qualified quorum for over one third
of the time for this winters sitting, and
yet its vast intellectual capabilities have
not. as yet, discerned the expediency or
necessity of enacting a single important
law. Its predecessor, in the same length
of time had well nigh repealed all the
Legislation of a half a dozen years before,
and satisfied its own free soul and IN
chained ambitions in enactinga legion of
laws, from which the demolished radical
party could extract nothing but the most
disgusting bitterness. Have the gladness
and enthusiasm, with which Republican
legislation was sssailed and obliterated,
become insipid and vacant, or did the
matches energy, the undaunted courage
and the unremltting attention to bust
ness'' which characterized the last Legis-
lature leave nothing for this ono to do?
Are all the objects. with which the Demo
cratic Slate was so copiously filed upon
the as tendency of that party, fully Sc
cured, is the Treasury a mere iron box
empty of all inducements 10 legislative
raids, are the Hobbies entirely occupied by
moneyless hapgers-on. is the golden time
Of our Solons absorbed in paying court
homage to Confederate Generals of prom
inence visiting Nashville, or are the re-
quirements of Legislation forgotten or
ignored in the chaos of conflicting party
expedients and the wild confusion of "New
Departures?
As Governor Brown has sent in his
message. a~ffording, in the wide scope of
its suggestions, an ample field for the
display of legislative wisdom, We hope
our lawmakers will quit sucking their fu-
gers as if they were so many candy sticks,
arouse themselves like a man when he
feels tho quickening inspiration of fire
crater shooting through his system, go
resolutely to work and earn, at least, a
noiety of their per-diem which they will
be sure neither to forget Or ignore at the
close of THAR brief honors. The people,
with a nervous impotence, are waiting
for something to turn up" at our State
Capital, and a little longer passiveness
will lead the citizens of other States to
believe that we have abolished our LegiS-
l~ature, and Boss Tweed or some other
impudent millionaire will be making pro-
posals to lease our magnificent Capital
building for a summer residence. Some
thing must be done and that Immediately.

THE DEMOCRACY NExTYEAR.

A fatality, beyond the ordinary run of
political disasters, seem everywhere to
have befallen the Democratic party
Each election defeats its peculiar expedi-
ants and increases the perplexities of the
situation. Defeat has followed defeat
with terrifying rapidity. The Democrat
ic eye >anges a wide field Of gloom and
ruin, uncheered and unrelieved save by
the isolation of t he fraudulent triumph
in Texas. Ohio with a Republican ma
jority of twenty-five thousand, adds the
latest and darkest shade to the picture of
increasing despair. These calamities have
come, when the electrifying sensation of
the "New Departure was in the full bloom
Of development and power: when a good
ly number of Republicans were dissatisf-
ed with the President for his scheme of
annexing st. Domingo; when allthe per-
turbed and disappointed elements of Gen.
Grants own camp were assaiiing him
with the bitterest hostility and when to
all these drawbacks to Republican sue
eesses were added the loud and ever-ring
ing hue and cry of enormous frauds,pecula-
tions and Encouragement against the Adj
ministratlon. The mighty revulsion
which Democrats nave been wont to proyh-
ecy with an air of supremest confidence,
that would hurl Republicanism head-long
to ruin, is more than likely not to occur.
The increased maj critics hat have attend
ed the success of Republican candidates
in the different State and Territorial
elections, where the canvass has been
made up on the broad and distinctive is
sues between tie two parties, with a most
decisive conclusion demonstrates the ut
ter folly of the Democratic party in con-
tinuing the contest. After the develop
ment of the last few months, the man is
insane who attempts to conjecture or lay
ground of hope for a Democratic victory
in ~. No arti6ce, fraud, cunning in
timidation Of loyal voters in the South,
Ku Klu1 operations. changes of front.
New Departures and all such cxpedi-
ents cannot stay the doom, which the next
year holds in reserve for the Democracy.

A PoLYGLoT BUsINESs.-The wide
spread influence of American skill and
enterprise has outstripped the comprehen-
sion of the Americans themselves. The
fabrics of our mills clothe the savages of
both continents. They wrap the loins of
Africa, ard the tawny skins of South
American pampas. But wider still are
spread the products of our skill in medi-
cines. A late visit to DIR. j. G. Aver &
Co.'S laboratory and Office in Lowell. show
ed us that the whole surface of the habi-
table globe pays its tribute there; there
they cater to and serve the requirements
of almost all nations. Their publication
are in the many tongues that widely-sev-
cred people use. Their letters must be
read from and written in many tongues,
for which there sits a long range of cor
respondents with the indispensable accom-
plishments for their duties. Their daily
mail of half a bushel of letters brings
them adyices, orders and remittance from
the circle of the world. We were over
whelmed with amazement, and our readers
would be by an inspection of this wonder
fully-extensive, health-dealing enterprise.

Gen. w, B. Stokes.

This gentleman was arrested a few days
ago in " ~ashington City on a charge of de-
frauding the Government to the amount
of 100000.
In regard to the affair, we clip the fol-
lowing from the Tennessee Tribune:
The warrant upon which he was arrest
ed contains .wo counts. one for aiding in
defrauding the government out of S60,G0
the other for receiving $4,000 as fee
while a Government officer.
Gen. Stokes numerous friends are. con-
fdent. that upon an examination he will
be fully exoneFated. Even among his
personal and political enemies, not one
can be found who ever charged him with
dishonesty. We think it probable that
he will be suspended as Supervisor of In
ternal Revenue pending the investigation.
but quite confident ne will be reinstated
at an early day. We advise all to sus-
pend Judgment until the facts are fully
known.
If, as charged, fraudulent rolls we're
made out, the blame must rest upon
Capt. Beatty, who made out the rolls,
and swore to them as the act of Congress
required.
The following dispatch shows the high
esteem in which he is held by our bust
ness men generally:
NASHVILLE, October ~, 1871.

ton. District Columbia:

AUTUMN.

IF the year has poetry, sentiment and
each has poured the fullest, freest meas
ure of sweetness, beauty and tenderness
into this-its golden cycle. a balmy, vol-
uptuous softness has stolen over natures
fair face. The ocean of air lies, without
current or wave upon our globe Each
day witnesses and christens a new glory,
in the changing, deepening phases of col
or, born to intensity the weird loveliness
of the landscape. The crisp breath of
Autumn has passed over mead. bank
bower and garden, sorrowfully blighting
the brighter ard tenderer beauties of sum-
mer, and turning the verdant hue Of the
leaf into a rudy glow until u forest
isles would fam impress the belief that a
splendid sunset had fallen in fragments
on the earth or falling in this would re-
freshen the remembrance of the bush in
Horeb. burning with the FIRE that does not
destroy. But now over this grandeur, In
dian Summer-is spreading Its mantle of
haze, as if to obscure the royal purple
and the golden glory of the autumnal Pc
Rod. The frozen solitudes of the anti
podal zones know not this soft, kind re-
greet that fingers over autumn's bloom
As a peculiar benson with its subd ued
sunbeam, refreshing mellowness and elastic
inspiration, it was parcelled out by the
Creator, for this continent, and as natures
God has SO decreed it, it is for US alone
the hushed Sabbath of the seasons.
But see the rich splendors with which au
tumn garnishes our land. 1T the wood,
is the crimson, purple and scarlet CULVER
ing as the fingers of the breeze touch them
and the pink and carmine budding IN the
lowlands and blushing to be seen, yet
shaming the the pearl-shell of. India, in
their rich pencilings.
In view Of all these traceries of the d.
vine art, what are all the canopies, balco-
MES and galleries of human skill or de-
vice, hung with the richest drapery and
and adornings that ever the skill of art
drew forth from its enchanted loom?
In mid autumn, and the glorious halo
of mystical Indian Summer lowering over
it.
We "leaye the vain low strife
That makes me mad-the tug for wealth
and power,
The passions and the cares that wither life
And waste its little hour
