How Legislative Economy does not Begin
at Home,

The Legislature is busy in devising mean of
relief for the people. The idea Of TAXATION
is frightful to their patriotic souls, and every
cent of public money which is spent has to be
wrung out as though it were a drop Of blood
from their own conscientious bosoms. Under
these circumstances one would expect some
sacrifices from the members Of the 'reliet"
party. but, in point OF fact, We find that these
gentlemen are disposed to practice any sort of
economy rather than that which is to begin at
home. They have taken ten days holiday, and
it was proposed to abate their pay for that
period. Had this been agreed to, the treasury
would have been about $40 900 better off than
it is /; but, no, they rejected The proposition,
and took their per diem with cool disregard to
their own protestations and entire Indifference
to the probable dissatisfaction of the const-
tuents,
When Major Kelley, we believe, offered his
resolution to cut off the pay of members the
measure was referred to the Finance Commit
tee, and the House refused to order the ayes
and nays, showing thereby grave doubt of
the consistency of its own ACTION. The inter
probation is justified by the refusal of the re
lief party to 60 on the record, and jusiifes our
inference.
After this display it will puzzle.-.the econom-
lai men, who are tying up money in the
Richmond banks at the cost of the States re-
putation, to explain to their constituents how
they could reconcile it to their sensitiVe nerves
to pay themselves the great sum they have
absorbed during their Christmas festivities. =
Surely the leaders in a great civil as in a mill
tary movement should set good example in
their own persons But, in this case, we look
in vain for harmony between the words and ao-
tons of the so-caled ''relief party in the Gem
cral Assembly. -Norfok Eirgiatea.

1t is surprising how far behind the times old
England is. Large quantities Of smuggling
tobacco are every year confscated by the au-
thorties, and instead of taking brides from the
holders and releasing it, or selling it at high
figures and pocketing the proceeds, as we do in
America, they actually burn it. No wonder
the public functionaries of England do not grow
rich and infamous as rapidly as American Of
icials. They ought to take lesson from

1t is surprising TO hear how many members
of the Legislature were in favor of cutting down
the per diem from S. to 81 and in favor of
cutting off the pay entirely during the recess
