BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

The Pennsylvania Constitutional Con-
vention has under consideration the SUBJ
ject of biennial sessions. The other day
the question came up in the convention
on the report of committee providing for
the election of members of the General
Assembly every two years. In the debate
which ensued, says the Press, ga strong
"feeling of opposition among the best of
"the delegates was developed to biennial
sessions OF the law-making body. The
"weight of expressed, if not of formed,
"opinion seemed to be in favor of annual
''sessions and an extension of the term to
"two years" The feeling seemed to pre-
vail that once year was not too often for
the legislature to hold its sessions, and
that making the term of representatives
two years would secure more efficiency in
the legislature, as members would be bet
ter qualified for their duties the second
year than they would be for the first.
Thus annual elections might be avoided.
better qualifications secured in the men,
bels, and still preserve the annual sessions
of the legislature, which seem important
to business and political interests.

FRAMING PRIVILEGE REPEALED

The repeal of the ranking privilege,
after so many attempts and failures in
times past to accomplish it, has at length
been completely and thoroughly done,
with great unanimity in both
branches of Congress. The act for repeal
passed the Senate on Wednesday the
22nd, by vote Of SO in favor to lG
against, and "A absent or not voting. On
Monday it came up in the House and was
promptly passed by vote of l43 to lS.
The act as amended by the Senate and
passed by the House is as follows;
That the franking privilege be, and the
same hereby is, abolished from and after the
| first day of July 1873; and that thencefor,h
all official correspondence, of whatever ma
ture sent from or addressed to any officer of
| the Government, or person now authorized to
frank such matter, shall be chargable with
the same rates of postage as may be lawfully
imposed upon like matter sent by or addressed
to other persons Prorsded, That no COM
pensation or allowance shall now or here after
be made to Senators, Representatives, or
Delegates to Congress on account of post
age.
1t will be seen that the repeal is as
sweeping in its character as the most ar
dent opposer of the frank can desire
There is nothing now necessary to make
the repeal final but the signature of the
President to the bill which win promptly
be given. The privilege had grown to
be an enormous abuse, no more under this
administration than any other, and its re-
! peal is inst act for which this Congress

LOUISIANA.

The Louisiana case has undergone an
important transition. The Supreme Court
ofthe State has rendered decision against
the validity of Warmoth's returning board.
and declaring the Lynch aud Heron board
the legal returning officers of the State OF
Louisiana. Thus it appears that the State
court is in harmony with the United States
court, both agreeing in sustaining the
board upon which the action of the gov
eminent rests in the Louisiana difficulty
\ despatch to the New York Times says :
"lAll the judges who decided the case were
appointed in 1868, aud are NIL citizens
Two of them, Chief Justice Labelling and
Judge Taliaterro, are natives OF the State
This decision covers the same ground and
decides the same points contained in the
decision Of Judge Durell."
This single blow sweeps away great
portion the mystery and falsehood which
have been industricusly spread over this
subject. The great cutlery about the
usurpation dstyranny Of the United
States court, and the subjugation of the
State by federal interference, goes down
at once under the sanction and co-opera-
ton Of the State authorities as given in the
late decision. 1t is useless longer to con-
tend that the State is arrayed against the
United States, or that Warmoth finds adj
equate support in his course. This decis-
ion is not the work of carpetbaggers and
outsiders. but Of the best native and do
nestle authority. We have supposed and
still do suppose, that if the judges could
be swayed by the popular passion and
prejudice, the pressure would have been
far stronger for than against Warmoth,
and therefore we place more confidence
upon their decision as one in accordance
with their best Judgment, to which no OBJ
lection can be raised on the score of par
tizanship.
After this we do not see why there may
not soon be an end of the Louisiana mud
die. Should the decision which is to be
rendered by the Supreme Court this week
in the case of Hecker Morgan. recently
appointed Associate Justice by Governor
Pinch5ack, which will determine the le-
gaiity of the Mechanics Institute legisla-
ture, be favorable to that body, there will
be no need Of farther action by the inves-
tigating committee, and the Senators
elected by the Kellogg Legislature may be
admitted to their seats. Thus will end
what until the present time has been one
of the most embarrassing questions the
| government could deal with. According
to appearances it will end much more sat
factorily than was anticipated. We should
