THf ASSEMBLY Committees.

Our acquaintance with the abilities and repu
tations of the new members of the honorable
Assembly of this State is not extensive, but
so far as it goes are rather pleased than
otherwise with Mr.. Husted's arrangement of
the standing committees, The Ways and
Means Committee is a strong one as it should
be- Let them go to work and get the appro-
priation and tax bills into the Senate before
the LIST of March, bearing in mind
that it is already the middle of January.
We are glad to SEQ Mr.. Prince retain his
place at the head of the Judiciary Committee
In the interest of the public, we should in any
event hope that the Committee on the Affairs
of Cities might have nothing to do. That
Committee deserves rest from Its arduous
labors of late years in turning and OyertuTn-
ing. We sincerely trust that Mr. Husted's
Committee on Cities may not have occasion
for more than one meeting during the whole
of the session. Neither does 1t seem to us
that much ought to be expected OF the Canal
Committee.
For the last two years it has been the prac-
tice to concentrate all the railroad men and
railroad attorneys on the Committee on Rall-
roads. This certainly had the advantage OF
protecting those corporations from the schemes
of blackmalers, so far at least as committees
could protect them This year we do not
recognize so many railroad men, Mr. Lincoln,
the Chairman has one of the best brains in
the Assembly, and Mr.. Weed is well qualified
10 support him in dealing justly with both the
railroads and the people The Insurance Com
mittee also appears to te well constituted
with Mr. Wight as Chairman.

The inaugural address of Gov. Allen Of Ohio,
delivered on Monday, was very MODEL of public
document for cOmpactness and breyity. IL is about
half column in length, and devoted to single
topc to wit, the necessity for reducing taxes and
enforcing the most rigid economy III all matters OF
State expenditure. Upon this point he saws: 4" do
not mean that vague and mere verbal economy
which public men are SO ready TO profess with
regard TO public expenditures mean that earnest
and inexorable economy which procaims exist
ence by accomplished facts" This view of the sub
ject may well be commended to the Legislatures of
other States and perhaps 10 Congress. There is
little business other than this demanding the atten-
ton of the Ohio Legislature and none so important
and urgent. Gov. Allen is the first Of his
party in Office to grasp the political situation praci-
cally II is easy for party out of power and beyond
the reach of temptation to talk about reducing ex-
penses and practicing economy, and to find fault with
the extrayagant expenditures of the opposition. Ii
is not SO easy to put these beautiful theories in
practice when the responsibility comes upon them
and the temptation stands at the door If Gov
Allen can bring his party, which returns to power
with a very natural hunger for spoils TO restrain
its appetite and meet the popular demand for re-
trenchment and reform in expenditures and reduc
tion in taxation, he and they will be doing more To
insure national success for themselves than all the
newspaper and resolution buncombe they can pack

with the declaration that, in its opinion,

1t is to be hoped that the Republicans will
not be so short sighted as to oppose the re-
form simply because their opponents have an
ticipattd them in starting it. 1t should not be
made partisan question. Besides. the Demo
Gratis have only proposed a partial reform.
There are other items fully as cxtravagant as
that of publishing the laws. The manner IN
which the minutes of both Houses have been
printed for the past few years IL disgrace to
the State Tho only aim of the printers has
been to make as expensive Il job as possible,
and they have generally succeeded in doubling
the necessary cost. There are other docu

Garden Notes.

Bristol Strawberries are in bloom.
Sage bushes should now be cut of
close to the ground. Not vestege Of
the top growth should be spared. II
will be of little use to attempt its cul.
ture any other way. Try it once.
Apple trees can be successfully trans,
planted at any time within 80 days.
We think it too early for grating.
If the twigs can be cut and kept in
cheek, by depositing them in a cool
cellar or in the ground. they will grow
readiest and best by grating them in
to stocks after the April sap has caused
the buds on them to open.
Crane Vines should be pruned at
once or it will be two late. Leave one
bud on each Lateral shoot and shorten
back the main vine to strong vigorous
wood.
Ives Seeding, Hartford Prolific and
perhaps Concord, will do in open
ground. Very few others are worth
attention unless trained under the
caves of house,
Radishes do best sown broadcast in
the garden, and the best of all the va
riety is the new French Breakfast.
Roses should be cut back, leaving
no more than a foot above the ground.
Don't be afraid to cut them
