The Appropriation Bill comes up BY appoint
meat to-day, and as it is the great measure of the
session, all will watch what the Assembly intend
to do with it. There is no doubt a general wish
to see as small a sum appropriated as it is posi-
bic to carry on the government with. Economy
for the next two years, at least, must be our poll
cy-strict and impartial economy-and if govern
ment can hold its own without mourning new
debts, it will do we'll A reduction Of fifty thou
sand dollars in current expenses may be made
with as few appropriations for new public i'm
provements as possible Some argue that one.
two or three ministers can DO the whole work
now done by four, and thus save ten, twenty or
thirty thousand dollars for the biennial period
But which shall be dispensed with 4? The Inte-
rior Department requires the service of an active
and vigilant man, who if he properly attends to
his business has as much as be can well supervise
The Attorney-General too. has all he can do and
can by no means be dispensed with. The only
change which might be made for economy's sake
is the union OF the Finance and Foreign offices
under one head, making three ministers instead
of four. VIII such a change be wise and polite
Does not foil cabinet of four ministers give the
government more strength aud frmness? Does
it not add to its standing and give it greater
prestige? Win not reduction in our ministry

one Wheel but We haven't and is it not best to
leave well enough alone for the present?

The proceedings in the Legislative Assembly,
the past week, have been quite interesting. The
petitions presented are some of them amusing,
aud cover almost every conceivable scheme
that can be thought Of As rule they are re-
ferred to standing committees, which con-
sign some to the waste basket. A better feeling
has been noticed in the House since the minis
tiers have spoken their sentiments more freely
and it is to be hoped that as the session progress
ses, and the members become better acquainted
with each other the conflicting elements may
work more harmoniously together. And here we
may remark that the ministers have heretofore
always been looked TO as the leaders in the As
sembly. position rightly assigned to them by
usage and propriety and where they are free and
ever ready to respond in a conciliatory yet firm
manner, the effect has always been to win the
confidence of representatives, many of whom
come here entire strangers to the work before
them, and readily adopt views which are sup
ported by sound arguments.

Political HALFWAY House.

In casting it's eye over the present condi-
ton of parties, the St. Louis Republica"
comes to the conclusion that We are ap-
preaching a political halfway house. !"
where the character of the next national
contest can be determined. 1t says the old
Republican party no longer exists, and
that the Democratic organization is in no
better condition. There is faction of Lib
eral Republicans, another Of progressive
Democrats and very large one Of farmers,
all Of which are in favor Of the same OBJ
jects, and are opposed by the same enemy,
the administration wing of the old Repub-
iican party. If these elements of opPosi-
ton unite, if they will consent to drop
past differences and rally under common
standard, the grand game Of 1876 is in their
own hands. But if, instead of drawing
together they draw asunder, and each con-
tinue to ride their own special hobby, their
defeat is guaranteed in ad-
vance. The preliminary skirmish next No
vember may show whether profound wisdom
or consummate folly is to prevail.

ance of items to interest them all along the
route. On the return, something happened
which might have resulted seriously, had
not those who had charge of the train been
active in attending to their duties. When
the train was few miles from Lafourche
crossing, the engineer discovered some
thing on the track, and at once made
halt, stopping few feet off. The conduc,

found some logs across the rails, evidently
placed there with an intention to throw
the cars of, or detain the train. It 10 sur
