rnr 1ATE LEGIsLATuRE.

THE LATE LEGISLATURE.
The Plaiaiealer says, there perhaps
never has been Legislature more unrons-
onably ccnsurel than the last one We
always have had fault finders and We ez.
pect that that will always be the case
The last Legislature bad more difficulties
10 encounter than any other that bos ever
convened 10 the State. Tho Constitution
under which they met required vast deal
more Legislation than casual reader would
suppose on reading the Constitution
Their work has been done in a remarkably
short time taking into consideration the
vast amount Of labor that was 10 be per.
formed by them, The Virginia LcgislS-
turo which convened under the Constitution
Of 1851 was ia continued session Of sew.
en- months and had not near the labour to
perform that the late Legislature Of West
Virginia had. We have already received
22G chapters of the acts, covering so far
ego pages, while all the laws passed by
the Radical party as codifed in 1868, only
contained lGG chapters covering 1874 pages,
being 60 chapters less and only "a pages
more than the acts We have received up TO
the time of this writing. While we are
informed that the acts Of the late Legisla,
turc will contain as many Il not more pages
than the Radical Code of 1868, yet if VIC
we're to believe what some say the Legisla'
ture did but very little. This is not say
ing much for Radical Legislation Of some
| 5 years, when a Democratic Legislature
did nearly as much inAsix months and
twenty days as they did 10 eight years, yet
we are told that it costs vast amount. -
| Not ouc.rourth what Radical Legislation
has cost us 10 do the same work, The
Radical Legislature convened at Wheeling
on the Goth Of June 1868 and was in ses-
sion until the lth day Of December, 1868,
period Of Eve months and % days, dur
ing which time they passed acts putting
the Constitution, in operation and joint
resolutions covering 274 pages, being 1856
pages less (ot acts) than were passed by
the Democratic Legislature at Charleston
under the present Constitution in six
months and twenty days This, to our
mind should make Radicals look a little
closer to their own records before making
such ado about the cost Of Democratic leg
islalion, while the Radical Legislature Of
1868, left the Code Of Virgins of 1860
standing as the law Of the land, which
caused the people to have to pay for codi,
flying the laws oftho State iu 1868, besides
the passage Of the laws in 1868 Some Of
our friends are impatient to get the acts,
his - hut natural hnt we WOnld advise n
prudent patience when we rcColIect how
long the Radical Code of 1868 was looked
for. We are pleased to see the marked
change that is taking place among the
people With reference to the action Of the
late Legislature, and shall not be surpris,
ed, that when all its acts are before the
people it will be considered one of the best
Legislatures that has ever convened in the
State.
