TcoRREsPoNDENcE OF THE SPY


BosToN, Jan. l, 1872.
On Wednesday the members of the general
court will assemble and begin their deliberations.
Already there are evidences of their approach at
the state house. l was up there to-day and
found cohorts of colored women and sisters en-
gagged in scrubbing the Hobbies and getting the
dust off the furniture, in order that everything
may be clean to the hands (andthe ieep of the
legislators, when they march in and take pos
session. There is something rather pleasant in
this metamorphosis of the old building in the
last days of the year, from sort Of summer
paradise of red tape iuto place where
laws are made and unmade, aud the vast inter
ests of the state advanced and defended. In
stead of the slippered clerks who fit about the
corridors lin pettcoats) and the country cousins
on the way to the cupola, comes the member
with his mOmentous schemes and the bold pari-
site of the lobby at his heels. To them open the
closed doors of senate chamber and represent
ative hall, and the green room, aud scores of
hiding places for the committees, and the post
office and coat rooms, and all the large domain
over which Major Morrissey reigns with eternal
good nature. And the session begins. The two
halls have recently been renovated and are look
ing as neat as pin and as good as new. The
representatives hall has a new carpet of some.
what lighter hues and less calculated TO show
dirt than the old one, and all the woodwork has
been repaintcd the blue streaks in the dome
have been frightened up and the seats have been
polished; so that everything looks clean and nice.
The painters and Publishers have been through
the senate chamber also, but the old carpet re-
mains, and except the filling up and smoothing
over Of a few cracks in the ancient, oven-like
roof, the appearance of the chamber is not ma
terially changed. Major Morrissey did not
have very much money to spend, but what he
had was used 10 good advantage.
The printed lists of the members have been
got ready, and l find that of the number of
representatives, siXty-two, or about one quarter
of the whole number, held office last year
Among those who do not come back are very
many whose faces will be missed, and whose
conspicuous talent made them leading men
in the house Of 1870. OF this number | may
mention Harvey Jewell, Charles r y

TUESDAY. JANUARY =. 1sae.

MAYOR VERRY's ADDRESS, which we print,
this morning, though long, is not too long to be
read with care by all who take an intelligent in
ierest in the conduct of our city affairs. We
shall make no summary of it, because those who
care for it at all will prefer to read the mayors
statements and suggestions in his own words,
and comments we will reserve for future occa-
sion. We will only say now that Mr.. Very has
given us more complete and Ineligible state
ment of our municipal finances than we have
lately been favored with, that he appreciates the
problems with which his administration has to
deal, and confirms our belief that he will meet
them, as they present themselves, with just
estimate of their relative importance, and
thorough acquaintance with their conditions.
