COMPOSITION OF THE NEW LEGISLATURE.
The next Legislature will deal with some OF the issues
above indicated IL will early remove the censure OF
Mr. Sumner and 1t viii take some action also upon the
auor law The chief other points Of interest before It
will be in dealing with the annexation OF territory
interest In the Hoosac Tunnel. This last is OF the
highest practical importance and should be committed
for its settlement 10 ahler body OF men than con-
In the Legislature. Boston, fortu
natey sends better delegation than usual this year
Moses imban, Charles Hale, late Assistant Secretary
of state at Washington an exedtor The Boston Ad
rertser, a former Speaker OF the Massschuset It's
House O Representatives., eX Mayor Lincoln, and Col
Charles K Goldman are all valuable Legislators. Outside

member chosen Is John Quincy Adams, OF Quincy. Mr..
Adams Is supposed TO be independent Of parties now
In fact, he al ways has been IN his legislative action IN

feeling that exists toward Gen. Banks B the subject OF

"A presiding officer. The President Of the Senate has
really little political power. There Is not much said
about politics Ia sessions OF the Massachusetts Lelsa
ture as a rule, attention being almost wholly gwen TO
State affairs which the people do not politically
divide.
