A WASHINGTON despatch says that Presi-

der of We great Importance to United States
office-holders in every State, and which is de-
signed to correct an evil, that, in some States
ha become too serious to be longer over
looked. The order in question will notify all
persons holding United States commissions
that the acceptance or holding of Office under
any State authority is inconsistent. with the
scope of their official duty, and an improper
interference with State concerns. The holding
of such Office will be deemed the vacation of
the positions held by them under Federal au-
thority, and their successors will be appoint

THE National Baptist having advertised
'bap ismal pants" for ministers of that de-

comment has been made upon the subject
by the religious press of all types of belief.

tisement the subject of little ridicul )us
comment, which, strange as it may seem, is
fully endorsed by the Baptist Weekly, which
adds: "From man millinery and baptismal

IMPROPER LEGISLATION.

iAAH hOrfsh I4HGlSLAIlON.
My duty on this occasion would be but par
TALLY performed if 1 should fail to renew the
suggestions made to your predecessors in regard
to special and private legislation. An inspec.
ton OF the acts of the last legislature, shows
that the number of public laws passed was
eighty-seven; and that they were printed on
htty-five pages of the volume in which thew
are published by the State: while the private
and special acts number one hundred and nine
one, and cover two hundred and eight pages.
Some OF these latter acts are for the organiza-
ton OF companies for which ample provisions
of this legislation could be saved by appropri.
ate laws, based upon general principles, with
suitable limitations and restrictions This
would save delay and expense to the parties
interested, and secure more exact Justice and
greater uniformity in the application of the
law. 1t would also save much time of the leg
lslatuae, and reduce the expenses of the State.
Great caution should also be used by legis-
lators to prevent the public laws from being
encumbered by acts designed to meet some
special case IN which some one happens to be in
terested, without reference to their bearing up-
on the general administration of Justice Such
acts are not unusual but always pernjcious.
~One OF the most dangerous, as well as most
common evils Of legislation, is in the practice
OF postponng many of the most importont
questions until the hurry and confusion of the
last hours of the session. Maine legislators
have been no more at fault in this regard than
other similar bodies, State and national But
it is better to disregard than. to perpetuate a
bad precedent. May we not hope that this
Legislature will not commit this common sin
against the demand for we'll considered legisla-
tion. There is more danger in too much than
IN too little legislation. Our Revised Statutes
with few amendments and additions now con-
tam the laws of the State 1t is hoped thew
Will not be unnecessarily changed
In conclusion, gentlemen, assure YOU that |

sources of the State, and to advance the moral |
