An analysis Of this list makes fine
showing. SeveH Of the eight Democrats
there named were original friends OF
Governor Jacob for denomination, and
six O. them voted for him at the polls.
Including the Republican member he
has seven supporters On the Board. The
80, 900 Republicans who voted for him
have one representative: the 10000
Democrats who voted for him have six
representatives; the 10000 Democrats
who voted against him have two repre-
sentatives, on this Board, and a majcri
ty o. the Board are pledged to the re-
moval, from the Superintendent place
at the ASYLUM, OF Thomas B. Camden,
the brother of Governor Jacobs late
opponent. Understand that nobody
com plains OF Jacobs recognition OF his
friends in all his appointments they
are entitled to all he can give them,
aud have done enough of dirty work
to merit all and more than he will
nave to bestow. But, inssmuch as his
trends are declaring that the refusal
Of the legislature TO increase his pa
tronage will be cruel prescription, It 10
perfectly in order to show that 1t the
Legislature wants to take care OF its
friends in preference to it's enemies, It
will do well to limit Jacobs ability to
prescribe Look ng at the matter IN
this light, the Senate in Executive ses'
sion, by a vote o. ten to six, laid these
appointments on the table. and in q day
or two atterward passed a bill autborI-
zing the Board OF Public Works 70 ap-
point the Directors of the Asylum.
PROGRESS OF LEGISLATION.
Work in both bodies is now being
pushed as rapidly as prudence will per-
nit In the Senate an immense amount
of labor has been done. from the very
commencement, and the House, though
moving somewhat slowly, tor q
for a time, is working diligently
aud carefully More laws OF general
nature have been framed by this Leg
rslature than by all of it's predecessors
since 1868. and these are now being
distributed throughout the State. The
remaining Legislation necessary to put
the new Constitution in complete opera
ton is being rapidly matured. The jury
law has been passed; the school law
road law, assessment law, and laws reg
ulsting corporations, are far advanced
all the legislation concerning courts
county organization and similar sub
Iecrs has been completed, and with two
long sessions a day both branches ore
pressing forward to the completion o.
network upon which tits confdenllybe'
Ii.ved they may expect the hearty sppro
val OF the people. 1t is known that i'm
pressions, prejudicisl to the character
OF the Legislature have been produced
but these in large measure have been
the result OF well organized system
OF living adopted by the Radicals from
the beginning OF the session. Grea,
com plsint is made of delays and
speech making, but il you will turn To
the records you will see that IN the
House the Radicals have done four
f tbs OF the talking and made thSee'
fourths Of the dllstory motions. Ic
check this by the previous question:
would be to raise an unesrthly roar o
discomfort, but at whatever hazard, ths
Democrats are determined to apply II
in the futdre ALLEGED.
ALLEGED PERSONAL PRoFLIsAoT
on the part OF Democratic members hal
furnished a text tor much comment oy
Radical pens. Legislators are seldom
made OF sanity material, but by thoe'
who have the best opportunities o
knowing the department OF the gres'
majority, the members Of this Legs
lature are recognized as almoet unex'
ceptionable iu their correctness. Ther'
are, to be sure occasional exceptions, 81
in the case of q rollicking Republican
member in the House who made q two
hours speech on the Road law, IN such
a state Of mental and physical oofusctls
ton that neither his eye nor his tongue
could successfully distinguish between
a mud turnpike and ship canal. In"
would not be referred to here wer'
it not probable that the incl
dent has already been furnished
the public by the correspondents o
Republican papers and it is mentioned
now only as marked exception to TIT
prevailing rule OF legislative decorum
