THE REE0RM unILSE

The Republican papers Of this State
have sncorcd ut and denounced the
Democratic House oi Representatives
of last winter until some credulous
people have been Jed to believe
that II was really as worthless as
some of iis predecessors. They have
complained chiefly Of the failure Of the
house to egislate They were 80 nc
customed TO the annual appearance of
huge volumes Of acts Of assembly that
they were shocked at the dimlnutive
octave which this year incloses with
its lids the additions to the statute
book. Besides they delight in much
government. These Republican edi-
tors have by long persistence in false
political theories educated themselves
TO believe that some legislative pana-
cea must be found for every i'll that
aiilicts society or disturbs the peace
and happiness Of its individual mem
bers. Hence when the wonted food
of new aud crude legislation was ar
rested by the adoption of the reformed
constitution, and when the Democratic
House transacted the necessary bust
ness Of the session and adjourned with
out enacting the usual amount of nn-
digested laws, they were quite amazed
and affected TO be thoroughly disgust
ed. II seems really never to have oc-
curred TO them that the people are
vastly the gamers, there being no new
and contradictory laws for the courts
to construe and give rise to vexatious
litigation, while the saving in expense
TO the State amounts TO many thons-
ands Of dollars. For example, com
parison Of the expenditures of the
House Of last winter, with those of the
Houses Of 1873 and 1874, exhibits the
following;
Expenses for salaries ofclerks and 9TH
j or officers and employees and station
cry and contingent expenses Of the
House for 1873, were-..................s sSTs6S 70

resentatives, oiliccred and managed by
Democrats, and acting upon the Dem
ocratic doctrine that those peoples are
best governed who are least governed
has lessened the expense Of Legislation
, nearly $4,000 since last year aud ovei
$4,000 since 1873. This has beer
done, too Notwithstanding the fact
. that the membership Of the House o
/ last winter was numerically double
that of former houses, and was rea
/ sonably much more difficult to office
: and more expensive as to supplies thar

Next TO tho grasshopper nothing

pcrity of our country us the carpet
bag raid through the South, especially
in Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina. The desolaton created by
the former throughout the west is not
half as fatal and enduring Us that in.
Aicted on the latter States indicated.
The effects of their robberies ARE felt
throughout the Union, and win retard
and cripple the industrial interests in
the southern States for generations to,
come.
Recent investigations Of the finan-
cial affairs Of Louisiana, made by a
legislative committee, show that the
ravagcs of the carpct-baggers and their
white and black allies have been even
worse than was supposed The com
mittee find that ut the beginning of
the year the public debt amounted TO
more than fifty millions of dollars, dis
tributed as follows:

The total population OF Louisiana in
1870 was less than 100000, of whom
364, 900 were negroes, the most of the
latter paying no taxes. In addition
to the State debt, the city of New Or
leans, which has also bsen rndcr the
control of the carpet-baggcrs, owes a
debt of 500, 900, with a population
of less than 200, 900, While the debt
has been increasing, the value of prop.
erty both in the city of New Orleans
and in the agricultural districts has
been steadily depreciating, until upon
a large portion OF the real estate the
the annual taxation is greater than
the revenue derived thcrefrom. The
committee say of the debt created
since 1865 that the State has not been
benefited in an amount exceeding
one-fourth of it and that one-half the
taxes which have been collected since
that year have been squandered OF
stolen. The public should not forget
that when the people of Louisiana
fairly elected Government of theil
own to supersedc the carpet-bagger
who had so long plundered and op
pressed them, President Grant, at tho
lnstigation of his brother-in-law and
other intruders, twice unlawfully used
the United States army to overthrow
the legal government and install in its
place usurpers who had been repudi
ated at the polls

BELLAiRE.
A & w. s. AULT are having new
smoke stack put up ut their mill, on Wa
ter street, and they are not havingit done
an hour too soon, as the old one is in Il
very delapidated condition.
RELIGIOUS services were held at the
different churches, yesterday.
OUR friends F. NJ. Snively and d. D.
Shupe have opened a Real Estate Bro
ker's office at No. 339 South Union street.
Tney are both men of honor and integ-
rity and we hope they may succeed be-
yond their most sanguinc expectations.
ANOTHER defining match" is to coma
off in this city next Saturday night.
THE District Court for this county,
will begin its next term on the 9th OF
April.
The spring elections will be held at
the usual places. Township polls at City
Hall; First ward at the school house on
Union street; Senond ward at City Hall;
Third ward at public school building.
THE Street Railway is assuming n
favorable attitude, and the citizens in
different parts of the city are again be-
ginning to urge the project toward. Talk
il up, friends, that is the way to make it
success.
THE cigar business in this county is an
extensive one, rs the statistics for the
wear 1874, show the total number manu-
featured in the county during the year to
amount to 4,20S,4 40, as follows:
Bellaire, l,457,G7O; gainesville, 849,-
900; Bridgeport, 7S3,SO0; Louisville, 2GS-
200; Martinsvillc 252, 500; Morristown,
l69,500; Burr's Mills, Isl, 300; Captins,
| 6S, 300 Pitcher, $1,000; Hendrysville,
IA, 400. This number is aboTt one-halt
that is manufactured in the Sixteenth
district, which foots up during the year
S,806,945.
AMONG the many items Of interest to
our citizens, and one which should re-
ceive the early and prompt attention of
our authorities, during the season which
will soon open, is the road leading to the
cemetery. We are rot among those who
delight in ccnsurinE and fault finding,
and always prefer to overlook the little
short comings of officials; and we do not,
in this instance mention this subject
with any such Intention But there has,
for long time, been great deal Of
grumbling and complaining, in regard
to the terrible condition of this road, and
it is so bad during the winter and spring,
that our livery men and undertakcrs
will not put their teams on it, We
think it was bad mistake in locating
the cemetery where it is, but now rs it Is
done, better grade ought to be made,
and the road kept in 81 travelling condi-
ton. This should be looked into rs soon
as practically.
JUpGING from the large number Of
improvements in contemplation for the
coming season, we presume that building
material will be in good demand, and our
brick and lumber men should be up to
the times, in making preparations to sup
ply the pemand. Should this not be the
case, they would not only be financial
losers personally, but it would be draw
back on the general prosperity and pro
gress of our enterprising and thriving
