ALLIGATOR LEArHER.-The manufac-
turc Of alligator leather has now be-
come an important branch of industry.
The skins come chiefly from Florida
and Louisiana, and the hunting and
skinning Of the animals for their hides
is extensively pursued. About 10000
skins are tanned every year. They
are manufactured in various parts of
the United States, and a number is
exported 10 England and France.
The French, owing TO their superior
methods Of tanning, are formidable
competitors in this trade. So far the
the leather has been principally used
in the manufacture of boots and shoes,
for which it is especially adapted
and, by reason Of the pleasing varie-
CATION Of its surface, makes a most cx.
ccllent and becoming protection for
the masculine, and, indeed, the fcmi-

SECOND DESPATCH.
The New Hampshire Legislature.

Notwithstanding the long struggle
which the New Hampshire Legislature
had before it was organized for business,
it has not broken its custom Of coming to
Il final adjournment before the 4th of July.
OF the five weeks Of the session, only two
have been available for legislation, and
little of Importance has been done. This
is rather to be accounted an advantage
than otherwise. The evil under which
most States suffer is too much legislation
The only thing that can be regarded rs of
much moment accomplished at Concord
is the adoption of resolution submitting
question Of holding q convention for the
revision Of the Constitution. 1t gives
the people an opportunity to have the or
ganic law Of the State brought up to the
times, and in several important partlcu-
lars it is greatly in need Of it. The Cath
ole disability clause has become dead
letter, but its existence is disgrace to
the State, and il should be removed
Then the absurd disprOportion between
the two branches of the Legislature
ought to be remedied. The House Of
of Representatives is altogether too
large and the Senate too small. Another
matter of great Importance is putting the
judiciary department of the government
out OF the power of the Legislature.
Theoretically these departments are CO.
ordinate and independent, but practically
the Legislature can at any time abolish
the whole judiciary and make any change
in it which it sees fit, thus placing its
members at the mercy OF the political
majority of a single year. In point of
fact, the system has been changed twice
for the purpose Of getting rid of the
Judges, to make way for their political
opponents. This explains the subserviency
which the Judges have felt compelled to
show to the demands of party. The sys-
TEN ought to be established by the Consti-
tuition itself and placed out of the danger
Of such changes.
One reason for the small amount of leg
islation done at Concord has, no doubt
been the peculiar political division of the
two branches. Nothing could be done
without the approval of Republican
House and Democratic Senate, SO that
no acts of political character were pos
sible. Both parties, doubtless, were
willing to wait year in the hope of thcil
being able to control legislation. Ono
advantage Of increasing the number Of
the Senate would be to make it more
: nearly representative of the people anC
prevent such deadlock condition
Moreover the likelihood of failure O
! choice in the Senatorial districts could bC
easily obviated by making plurality Suf
fcient to elect, as it ought to be; and il
case vacancies occur they should be filleC
by new election or the appointment o
, the Governor rather than by the House o
q Representatives which should have IL
| such power in constituting the Senate
The Governor should also be chosen by
. plurality vote and all the executive offices
}, flied by election of the people. few
z simple and obviously sensible changes il
the Constitution would remove the caus
of frequent difficulties in New Hampshire
