THE DUTY OF THE LEGIsLI

The Legislature just elected, mi
first Monday in December. It cannosl
tinue in session longer than ninety days
out the concurrence ofthree-ffths of the
| bers elected to each House, in which cas-
session may extend for further period
exceeding thirty days. 1t will be compel
33 Conservatives ard 10 Radicals in th1
ate, and 1O1 Conservatives and 81 Ra
in the House-making a total Of 1874
servatiyes and Al Radicals 175 members.
The Conservatives gain Senators and 5 Del
egates over the last Legislature.
This decided majority, with an Executive in
sympathy with it, imposes upon the Conserv-
alive party OF the State heavy responsible
ties. There is important work to perform,
which will require industry, judgment and in
tegrity to properly digest, to the end that the
people may be relieved from any additional
burdens, and the honor and credit of the State
maintained. Although several members elect
from the Valley: announced themselves, dur
ing the canvass, in favor of s.Repudiation, ?
we are perfectly satisfied that that chimera
will have to be passed by. When they take
the oath Of Office, they swear to support the
Constitution of the State, and the United
States. The former imposes the obligation
to provide for Sinking Fund, to pay the
State debt,-the latter enjoins that no law
shall be passed BY State interfering with
the obligation Of contracts" These facts close
down, with memorable direetness upon
any attempt even to impair the credit Of
the State.
The difficulty, therefore, which stares us in
the face, Of meeting the obligations of the
State. without increasing the burthens Of the
producing class Of our citizens, will
have to be met by cnlarging the basis of tax
alton, encompassiug resources now lying un.
productive, dispensing with all unnecessary
officers of the civil government, reducing sal
aries, converting State property into fund
to lessen the debt, and a general and incorr1-
gible economy in every department. of the
public service.
IT an earnest desire and determined effort,
animate the approaching Legislature we be-
leve the current expenses Of the State gov
and the interest on the. pub
lc debt, can be provided for without advauc-
ne the tax on real estate or farming nipple
nents. We sincerely hope that such spirit
will control the members, and that Virginia
ril still maintain uuimpared her public faith

rhodomontade. TO associate the name of
this great and good man with little party

Although the Republicans have carried
the State of New York by about 10000

Legislature, it cannot legitimatcly be call

the combining Of all elements to purge the

the character Of the State so shamcfully
disgraced by the rotten Tammany Ring
