Saa.a,7 Morning, .se,ns.r a. 1879,

The TIME for the assembling OF the
Legislature. is drawing closa to hand,
and in our issue Of the Sth we will be
able to give an account OF the organiza-
tien of that body. t is fair to pre-
sumo that we may expect prompt action
and expeditions legislation-for the
present members were. elected at a
time when the people were called to
the polls by the. grave and important
issues Il State interests. aud it is likely
they were chosen under, circumstances
well calculated to secure the most
efficient representatives. From the
Valley counties viii be sent many of
the best talent and Legislative abilities,
both from the professions and secular
walks of life, who, by their known
capacities and integrity may facilitate
necessary legislation and contribute to
the general prosperity of the people.
Why it should be protracted session
]. We are not able to conceive. The
principle business will be to pass a
finance bill, elect United States Senator.
and redistrict the judicial circuits OF
the State The first will consume but
little time, the election of senator will
take but test vote between the friends
Of the different gentlemen prominently
before the Legislature, whist the re
districting can be done upon plan OF
an equitable distribution of labor,
without involving a protracted delay
We want to see that body go earnest
~ TO work, and not give way to every
unimportant measure that may be
sprung upon them thereby squander-

TIE BANKRUPT Law.

The passage of a bill by the House
for the repeal ofthe bankrupt law seems
somewhat singular, and a little contra
dictory, withal, when we reflect upon
the financial condition Of the country
just now.
There is no such imminent necessity
for bankrupt law i'll times of general
prosperity as there is when the none
tary affairs Of the public are 80 string
ent, so uncertain, and so threatening as
they have been for three mouths past,
and as they are still. And for this
reason, among others. there has never
been period in the history cf this
country-except in the South since the
war-when the requirements of the
times ind Gated more clearly than they
do no the propriety of having some such
provision for the rescue OF the unfor-
tunate from the commercial wrecks so
common in this age of enterprise and
adventure.
The present law may be open to
great improvements. Bat it should
not be altogether repealed. la fact,
after being properly amended and
ameliorated it may be found advisable
to have it always i'll existence. In such
country, with such a people. and ii,
such an era as this, whether the times
are good or hard, there must be fail
ures in business, and that. too, often
on the part Of men who if kept buried
under debt, would be sadly missed in
the business world.
:, A total repeal OF the bankrupt law
just now, with the fin ancial crisis still
on, would be like knocking the bot =
toms of the life boats out when there is
the greatest danger Of ,sas;er.-Rich.
