EgAS'gY LEGISLATION.

Is there any necessity, Mt this late day, of
setting forth the evils Of hasty legislation 7
1t would, certainly, seem that after all that
has been said about it. the fact of these
evils would be so thoroughly impressed
upon the popular mind, and impressed
upon our legislators, that the consideration
thereof might cease, and the public press
restrain from further discussion of the
matter. TASTY legislation cannot be
separated from special legislation. They
go hand in hand to n certain extent.
Through and by means Of bills passed for
the benefit of individuals and corporations
which could not become laws except for
the haste with which they are rushed
through legislative bodies and the limited
time allowed for executive examination
the public money is corruptly and layishly
expended, vast monopolies created which
are sapping the very life blood of the peo-
pie, and the prison doors are thrown wide
open SO that even, murderers escape with
out receiving a just punishment for their
crimes. This is nothing new. This state
of facts has existed as long as the country
itself Turn to the journals of the pro-
ceedings of Congress and of the several
state legislatures, and notice the vast num-
Der of laws rushed through, under sus-
pension of rules and without seconds
consideration, during the last twcnty-four

\ very prudent man in Danbury provides
himself with an extra hat for the month of
November, He carries it in his coat-tail
pocket, and when the wind lifts the one
from his head, he straightway jams on the

thus not only saves much chatting from
the unregenerate, but actually gets credit
as a philanthropist-the general impression
being that he is in pursuit of somebody
