A fter much delay and many fruifles

A fter much delay and many fruitless
efforts, the Legislature has succeeded in
passing an act amending the funding
bill. it's as follows: Be it enacted by
the General Assembly, That hereafter it
shall not be lawful for the officers charged
with the collection of taxes or other de-
mands Of the State, due now, or that
shall hereafter become due; to receive In
payment thereof anything else than gold
End silver coin, United States Treasury
notes, or notes of the National Banks Of
the United States.
.. All acts or parts of acts Inconsistent
with this act are hereby repealed.
8. This act shall lie in force from its
passage.
The object of this law is to prevent re-
cievipg coupons for taxes. 1t is probable
that the Governor will veto the bill, and
ii it Should be passed over the veto, it is
question whether it will stand the test
of tie courts. The passage of this act
gives the General Assembly the appear
ancs of dong something but We stilldoubt
whether any thing has actually beer
done.

4 Sharp Criticism on the the Legis.
Iature.

Tbs Richmond correspondent of the
Drnville Register, whose editor is mem
Der OF the Senate, in a l4.c letter to that
paper, speaks very plainly of the manner
in which the General Assembly is waist
ing its time and trifing with grave
matters:
at is now apparent, that the Leeis-
Iature will sit the whole of the ninety
days, at the expiration of which tune
much of the work on hand will be i'll
complete, and an effort will probably be
made to prolong tie session. 10 do this
however. will require vote of three-ffths
of each house whieh surely cannot be
had, unless the necessity imperatiyely
demands it. There was probably never
a General Assembly convened in the
State whose members protested such
tender solcitude for the dear people as
these have done; who came here with
such open-mouthed clamor and high
sounding declarations about 'retrench
ment and reform -good words more
abused than ever the name of liberty
was-and behold how little does their
practice square with their preaching If
the solid old walls of the capitol had not
been more firmly set than those of the
ancient Jericho which fell down fat, at
the footing of rams horns and the shouts
of the hesiegers, they would long ago had
been shaken down by the vociferous re-
frain for relief, economy, reform, daily
INDUCED in BY the orators of the day.
But all this talk makes no more impress
siou upon the pockets of the dear people
'han it Goes upon the brick walls of the
State house and fer the very good reason
that, like promise made to the ear and
broken to the hope, it ends in talk.
Nothing is done for economy; nothing
for retrenchment nothing to reduce the
expenses of the government not even
has the per diem of legislators been cut
down, as many members promised their
constituents, in the canvass. it should be-;
and thus they 60 on from day to day in
endless aebaes,s spending thousands OF the
public money and doing nothing for the
public good. The State would be a
great deal better off if We had session
of the Assembly only once in two years
In the matter OF the amount of work
done, this Legislature bears no COM
parison with the lass one; what little has
been done this winter is for the most part
trivial or mischievous some of it l fear
will prove very unwise.
10 the great and paramount effort to
avoid doing anything that may perchance
disp lease constituent and lose vote
(there's the rub they do no hing only
declain. | do not believe the people
approve any such shilly-shally. The
people like man who has convictions
and who is not afraid to act upon them.
If he makes mistake, but is honest in
it, they excuse it.

MASTER MAsoNs' DAUGHTERS DEGREE
This beautiful and impressive degree,
which is known as the adaptive Masonry
and is intended for the W ives, dauo hte,s,
sisters and mothers of Master Masons, to
make themselves known and protected as
sach, is founded on one ofthe most beau
tiful aid sublime incidents of Biblical
history and dates its origin far back in
to early days of ancient craft Masonry.
Masonic tradition i'll forms US that in
the days of Bruce, Wallace and Doug
las, those heroes were informed of APP
preaching danger more than once by the
knowledge OF til is degree, the. signal Of
which was given by women, and thus
they were enabled to reach safe asy lums
and escape the Sou tberns or Eng fish
The antiquity Of the degree alone speaks
for its merit and beauty, and has an es-
pecial claim on every member Of the
era it and their female relatives. We un-
derstand it is the.intention of Lodge Frar-
caisc, No. SO, A. f. and A. NJ, to have
a reunion on the evening of the 9th
inst, at y clock, Tor the purpose OF
con ierring the degree upon all who are
worthy. This will he one of the most
interesting occasions of the kind ever had
by the craft in this city. The splendid
choir Of SO will give the ladies some
choice Masonic music ,and the committee
o. arrangement is a fine supper. Rich.

tais question of interest. which abso lutely

should have repealed the whole thing
