both expired, their deaths occurring on

Legislative.
The fourteenth session of our IcSis-
lature convened on Tuesday last, and
Immediately commenced business. Our
letter from tho capital contains all that
need be said in an editorial sense, but
for the benefit Of our readers VIC will
give the names Of few who were
elected to offices in that body.
In tho Senate, \. A. HARDWOOD was
elected Secretary by two-thirds vote.
with ". a. Hotchkiss, of Fillmore, US
assistant. c. W. Folsom received the
Engrossing Clerkship. In letter to
the Senate Miss Alice Wcbber had "thc
honor TO decline an election" for Eu
rolling Clerk, which was not accepted
and she was elected. For Chaplain, j.
Marvin, IF Ramsey county, received
the unanimous vote.
fn the House, 4. 4. Hall was unan-
imously chosen speaker: after which he
made little speech. J. G. Hamilton of
olmstead, for Chief Clerk, with S. II.
Nichols as rs istant The Engrossins
Clerkship fell to I. l.. Mcachau,. Of
Wabasha. NJ. H. Scribner, Of Mower,
5oT Enro'lins Clerk. After a lively
contest As to who should be Chaplain,
Il finally fell to Rev. Mr.. Sterrets, Of
Steele.
The great majority Of our Lesisla-
ture arc new men at the business, but
they are all such as will perform the
duties allotted them in manner cred.
liable to themselves and the State in
general.
The election of Miss Weber elected
from the St. Paul Press a gentle re-
buke upon the members Of the Senate.
IN their setting aside the superior quail
i6easion Of her opponent, Mr.. Charles
]. johnson. Mr.. johnson was mem.
Der of the State Central Committee last
fall, labored zealously and effect.
lively for the Republican party, and
consequently had stronger claims t
the position tnan did Miss Weber
who but recently came into our Stat.
an entire stranger. Her presence a
the caucus undoubtedly stimulated tn,
fidelity Of her admirers, who lahore,
more earnestly in her behalf, which q
embarrassed the opposition that thei
candidate was Withdrawn. The Mis-
being thus left alone, she came in o.
the home stretch with full vote.
The high compliment bestowed o.
Mr.. A. r. Hall in electins him unani
mously AZ Speaker. is one which b
owes to his abilities, and the confidence
his friends entertained iu his fairness.
An the miner Offices a1o we'll filled

ST.. PAUL, Jan. Sd, 1872.
last Saturday night, 1 arrived at
this city, and found nearly all the men,
bers elect to tho Legislature already
here.
The canvass for the various positions
in the two branches was proce cdins
most vigorously. No less than forty
applicants were urging their claims,
and insisting upon their reeognition.-
St. Paul modestly presented but seven
candidates, all Of whom she carried cx-
cept Eve, sraciously conceding the
others to remote portions Of the State.
The Legislature met yesterday at l2
o'clock NJ, and organized by the cleo
ton Of pcrman cut officers.
n new feature was introdu ced in the
Senatorial corps-a lady being elected
Enrolling Clerk. 1t was not accom-
plishcd without some excitement, but
all is quiet now. The precedent seems
Of somewhat doubtful expediency, even
if the immediate result Of the election
should not prove satisfactory.
A movement in the House to organ
izc without clccting a Chaplain was
successfully aanked and a worthy man
elected to the position. A Minnesota
Legislature is not quite ready to ignore
the influence which religious exercises
exert upon a public gathering organic
ed for the promotion Of tbs interests Of
the commonwealth.
The Governor will present his Mes:
sage to the Legislature ON Thursday,
after which, and tho appointment Of the
several committees, an adjournment
until Monday is not Improbable.
1t is quite probable that the "1nter-
nal Improvement Lands" will be the
subject Of anxiety aud labor. An
effort will, undoubtedly, be made to SO
arrange the matter that they can be
sold under some system similar to that
now adopted for disposing Of the School
Lands. Members feel that the State
should have the benefit Of an imme.
date income from this source.
Something will be done looking t
the establishment of some State polio,
regarding the railroad bonds. Thi.
question will not be longer ignored with
impunity; aud, if it could be, protract
ed delay is Of doubtful utility. TIL
State must, at least, manifest a degree
Of candor which will redeem her from
the odium Of determined reputation
Something should be done, and
doubtless, will be, to compel insurance
companies to afford to their policy hold
ers more positive protection in case 0
loss. Companies should be compelle,
, to hold q reserve fund" sufficient t,
: enable them to re-insure every holde
, 10 case Of loss.
The temperance question gives rise Il
some excitement. There are these il
the Legislature who will be active If
the promotion Of some means Of posi-
tive relief from :his gigantic evil.
The session gives promise of useful
ness to the State, and, will, no doubt

PEACE VERSUS WAR.

Mr.. EDIroR.-I was truly pleased
TO see, a week or Two since, that you
aud your paper stand on the side OF
peace. These articles were good
and timely. On the other hand, i
have been surprised to find that
of some dozen different papers
which have read within the lasI
month, not one save yours takes
definite ground for peace; several
either directly or indirectly talk
war. This is painful, 1s,tbecanse OF
its fostering the war spirit alta time
when all should be deliberate and
forbearing I'd because it reveals the
absence of that christian spirii
which ought to rule christian ma
tons.
1t is not y purpose in this short
article, to inter the discussion Of
that XII = problem, whether
WARS 10 eve: justifable," nor
even its 7nilder form, Resistance
to tyrants, duty 70 God" but rather
to present i lew considerations in
behalf of peace and against war.
1. Destructiveness. It 10 trite to
name this, which inheres in the
verv idea of war, yet it may be well
to refresh our memories.
Supposedly reliable statistics
place the number of lives destroyed
in war within the history Of the
race, equal TO thirty-five times the
present population of the entire
globe. In q new State like this,
the death OF one good man is felt to
be loss. But in . war with Eng
land, how many thousand must be
lost from this State no one can tell.
Tis useless to present facts or fig
ures showing the destruction Of
property. Our own national debt
and the consequent taxes speak
potentially on this subject. Says
an English writer: England spent
100 guineas q minute, throughout
an entire year IN one of her recent
wars"
The worlds bloody Arithmetic
groans under the columns of fg-
ures that show the destruction of
property through war. Let those
who talk loosely about war with
England, look at least to the past.
"A christian and patriot shonld see
something higher, but this Is high
enough and large enough 20 make
men think. All hearts in this ma
ton and many in others, symathiz-
ed deeply with the sufferers in the
great Chicago fire. Humanity hon.

EDITOR NEws:-In times of ex-
citement nations, like individuals,
are liable to rush headlong into
difficulties from which it is hard to
extricate themselves. It may
seem very patriotic to indulge in
buster and bravado, and perhaps
the national courage may need a
little airing ocr asionly, but depend
upon it the ,ober second thought
of the PEG will never approve
going to with England for
nineteen millions of dollars, or
any other sum OF money that may
be involved in dispute. Do those
who are talking so loudly of war
know what it would cost to put
even a single army, in the field, to
say nothing of the untold horrors
of actual war. Can it be possible
that our country has no higher
use for her hardy SONS than to
make them food for powder
War in itself is a terrible evil and
should be entered into only as 9
last resort to maintain the dearest
human rights. Nothing OF a mer
cenary nature should be allowed
any influence where the peace o.
nations is at stake, and any politi
cal partythat would break the peact
of the world to better it's owl
prospects has outlived its timt
aAd deserves to fail. I.
