Our Legislature meets tomorrow in
obedience to the requirements of the State
Constitution. Although it has been nearly
a wear since the. election, it is hoped that
the members have kept themselves in such
constant and close communication with
their respective constituencies that they
come fully informed of the views
and wishes of the people. We are
quite sure that they have come fully de-
termined to do that which may seem best
calculated to promote the public
good. Although we have had far more
than the usual amount of legislationfo for the
same length of time within tn last six
years, there is still large amount Of most
important legislation now urgently needed
As the Constitution declares that "no
member shall be paid for more than seventy
five days of regular session" it is proba-
Bile that the session will not extend beyond
that time. 1t is therefore necessary that
the work of legislation should be begun
once aud continued with energy until the
close.
We shall take the liberty from
time to time, of discussing the
various measures of public Importance
which may come before the General As
sembly and aid in every way within our
power in coming to correct conclusions as
to what may be best for the whole people.
We earnestly hope that the session may
prove not only pleasant to the members in
dividually, but satisfactory in its results to
their constituents.

\ few days ago the remains of Mr.. Lin
coin We're taken from the temporary vault
in which they were laid more than six years
ago, and placed in the tomb prepared
for them in the monument erected to his
memory in the cemetery at Springfield, Hi
nois. His only living son, a few personal
friends, a half dozen or so of the officials
of Illinois, and the Governor of Missouri,
were all who were present to witness this
last rite to the remains Of man who had
enjoyed the highest honors of his country
mcn-whO bad been their President. The
New York Eseaiag Post regrets that there
We're not more people present on this occa-
sion. 1t speaks Of the attendance as an
''attcnuated pageant" and asks, '.where
were the people Of Illinois, of Wisconsin,
of Michigan, upon this memorable occasion?"
and chow came it to pass that they We're
sad event was passing into history? The
thing is easily explained. The dead Lin
coin has no offices to bestOw. Even his
name has lost its prestige, and the hundreds
of thousands who were wont to honor him
oyermuch when he held the power and the
offices of the nation in his hand, have now
almost forgotten that such a man ever
lived. 1t was only the offices at his dispo-
sal that endeared him to those who fawned
and fattered in the heyday Of his power,
and now none of these beggars are so poor
as to do his memory reverence. Had he
been simply a neighborhood squire, there
could have been scarcely less regard shown
for his name or his fame than was the other
day.

twenty-five thousand is not enough to

Grant has appointed men to most impo-

The official reports show where some of
the pickings come from. The receipts from
internal revenue taxes from July /, 1868,
to June so, 1869, amounted to $160, 000, 900,
receipts for the year ending June 80, 1870
SIS, 000, 600, or an increase of So, 100000.
That is the way the Radicals have reduced
the taxes. What is done with the money?
Gen. Grant squanders a portion of it upon
the San Domingo job, and Hodge, Norton
and other officials pocket the remainder.

The mental condition as well as the ply
sicsa health of Queen Victoria threaten an
early termination of her reign, if not OF her
life. This news naturally recalls the fact
that her grandfather, King George the III,
passed the last ten years Of his life in con-
fnement, as a lunatic. The estimable per-
sonal character of Victoria, naturally enlistS
sympathy for her, and public importance
is given to her present condition by the well
merited unpopularity of her son and appar-
ent successor. He is a vulgar scapegrace,
and the improved moral tone of England
recognizes him in that character.

Mrs. VICTORIA c. Woodruff has an
nounced herself a candidate for President
of the United States, but her biographer.
Mr.. Theodore Tilton, puts her age at thirty
two. If correct, this fact disqualffes her
for the Presidency for the next three years.
