The Legislature.

Tie work Of reform, so faithfully
pledged and so nobly inaugurated by
the new administration goes bravely on.
Roth branches Of the General Assembly
have reduced the number of clerks and
attaches to o mere cipher i'll comparison

speak most favorably for the future
of State affairs. The committees in the
House have been announced and are
certainly wisely selected The Chair
men of the important committees are as
follows: OF the Committee OH The Ju

Treasurers to the people; Mr.. j. Fielder
Meyers, of a bill to provide for the re-
demption of delinquent lands.
A series of resolutions lCo,ing to re-
duction of expense and reform have been
introduced.
Economy, retrenchment and reform is
demanded By the people. These are
pledged in the platform of the new ad-

out in good faith by our Legislature and

passage before the close of the present
Congress. The '!Americau Lar Times"
in abiding to the bill, says We d,
not anticipate this q c, its passage in
this SESSION. but think it entirely prob
able that its object will be carried out
in some form during tie term Of the
next administration. However con.
vncing the arguments in its favor I'll l.,
amount involved is SO large that pro
tracted delay seems to be inavitab!e.'

mcnts, the Judges of the Supreme Court
were equally divided in opinion, as to
tho validity of the said taxes, and the

Whereas the same were unequal and

Charged with Petit Larceny.

WI. Conklin charges that Thomas
Jackson laid felonious hands upon two
pairs Of pants and razor belonging to the
complainant, with intent to carry of and
appropriate to his own uses said articles.
Just what Jackson's object was, does not
appear, but it is possible that he has a fine
suit of clothes throughout with the excep-
ton OF trowsers, and being DESTROYS OF go
ing to church tomorrow, he determined TO
Gift" a pair, and for fear they would not
fl exactly, decided to take two. However
this may Ee, Jackson was arrested by officer
Morris, who waltzed him OFF to the
station house. Here Jackson was politely
requested to fish out the contents of his
pockets, which request was complied with.
He first produced ball of ssddlers' thread;
there was nothing suspicious about that.
Next pen knife with broken blade-cer-
tainly not dangerous weapon. Then a
small piece of tobacco, Of the kind vulgarly
known as "pig tail" Then sixty cents in
currency, after which followed in rapid sue
cession, about pint of white buttons, a
piece Of wire bent at one end land lot OF bone
checks, which mild looking man told our re-
porter were used for gambling purposes.
How 1t is that the mild looking man knew so
much, when his hair was so short, is a
mystery which, in all probability, will new
er be explained. The innocent looking in
dividual added, further, that the crooked
wire was used for opening locks, and was
on the point of giving a practical demon
stration of Its usefulness in that way, by
opening with it the drawer in which the
Police Sergeant keeps the money collected
by fines imposed by the Police Judge.
Just at this stage, the Police Sergeant laid
his hand gently upon the mild looking
mans shoulder, with the simple remark
