The management Of the county insane as

new ideas that the managers of similar insti-
tutlons might ponder. In all such institu.

The last Illinois Legislature, now that the
exact figures have been ascertained, turns out
to have cost the State S207, ZOE, while the
preceding Republican Legislature, no longer
in session and composed of the same number
of members, cost the State more than double
as much-that is, S439,632. Illinois will do
we'll enough if she never has u worse Legis.
lature than the last.-Ottdwd Free Trader.
The Twenty ninth General Assembly was
in session one hundred days, and gave to the
people little volume of session laws of one
hundred and eighteen pages Their prede-
cessor (the Twenty eighth General Assembly,
was in session two hundred and four days,
and besides the Revised Statutes--a compact
volume of upwards of l 100 pages-produced
two volumes of session laws aggregating be
tween three hundred and fifty and four hun
dred pages-making $500 pages in all. The
laws passed by the Twenty General AS
scmbly cost the people S1,755 per page;
those enacted by the Twenty.eighth General
Assembly little over Sl75 per page. Thus
the laws enacted by the Twenty.ninth Gen
eral Assembly cost the people len times as
much per page as those enacted by It's imme-
diate predecessor-to say nothing of the
greater importance of the revision of the
Statutes completed by the Legislature of

Instead of the last legislature having cost
the people of Illinois S2OI ,202, it now appears
$4,000 of this sum were for Indebtedness on
account OF the former Legislature, so that the
cost of the last should be stated al $4,000
against nearly 100000 for the former.
| But the silliest of all arguments in exien.
uation of the former Legislature Is the
claim Of merit on account of the Revised
Statutes. The work was done by commits
sion, of which Chicago lawyer named Hurd
was the head, and all the legislature had &c

GREENWOOD FOUND.

The mystery that hung over the fate of the
balloonls,s who ascendcd from Barnum's
show in Chicago month ago and disappear,
ed, is solved, az least so far as one of the two
adventures is concerned, The body of New.
ton 5. Grlmwood the reporter Of the Chicago
Joaraal, who accompanied Donaldson in the
balloon, was found on Tuesday morning on
the beach OF Lake Michigan, nearly opposite
Milwaukee, 10 miles north of Whitehall, and
IS miles south of Pentwatcr, By Mr.. n. Beck.
with, mail carrier and stage driver AS soon
as the discovery was made, Mr. Beckwith
turned the body over to j. J. lapley, justice
of the peace, who took charge OF It, When
found, the body was fat on its face on small
pile Of old food-wood. The hair was nearly
all gone, and the face is badly dlsfgured.
The nose was entirely gone, and the hat and
boots were missing. \ number of private
letters were found in a book in the right hip
pocket; also a card of membership in a
Chicago public library. In the front right.
hand pantaloons pocket small teld-glass
was found. 1t the shirt was collar button
bosom studs, and cuff, buttons. There Were
no rings on the hands. There was small
gold watch in the vest pocket and one small
frultknife, marked with the initials IN. S
c." IN large letters.
As soon as the fact of the finding of Grim.
woods body was teiegraphed to Chicago the
Journal company directed 1t to be forwarded
to that city, where it arrived on Wednesday
evening, and after being placed in metallic
case, was forwarded the same night by spe
cial train from Chicago to the home of young
Grimwood's parents near Bristol. The reg
ular funeral services are to take place at Bris
tol tomorrow.
Thus is explained the fate Of at least poor
Grimwood. But what has become Of Don
aldion and the balloon? Grimwoods body
had oa his India rubber life preserver which
however, had suspicious cut in it that rem.
dered it useless. Tue finding of Grimwood's
body under the circumstances seems to be
proof positive that the balloon was hurled by
the storm which occurred soon after It Went
up into the lake, but it is still singular that
while SO small an obi ect as the body of Grim
wood has been found, the great balloon itself
its basket and fixtures, should remain lost on
the wild watery main, nearly every rod OF
which is traversed every week by steamers OF
sailing craft Of some sort.

that could have been done IN a week. In
stead ofthat, however, they spentf months
over it, and while the Job as placed in their
hands by Hurd was prodigy of laundering,
every change or addition or subtraction made
by the legislature only made 1t worse, so that
the Revised Statutes, as that body finally
turned them out, at a cost of $250,0O0 to the
people of the state, IS VIGOROUSLY the most
stupendous bungle this country has ever seen
in that line, and an everlasting disgrace to
all who had hand in il.

The lawlessness of williamson county,
which has been chronic for year or two
past, is growing more violent and outrageous
daily, and IS rapidly spreading to adjoining
counties. The legislature last winter made
an appropriation to enable the Governor to
take effective steps to apply remedy, but on
the sheriff Of the affected counties applying
to the Governor for aid last week, he had
doubts, like Buchanan when secession first
broke out, as to his power to coerce the coun-
ties in the matter by sending troops from
Springfield or elsewhere. This is what he
