pIFFERENCEs IN LENGTH on SESSIONS.

The length of the sixtieth General As.
semblY, which was Republican, was 245
days-that is, the regular session in 1872
was l20 days, and the adjourned session
in 1873 was l25 days. The length of the
Sixty-frst General Assembly was only
22l days-that is, LOG days at the regular
session in 1874, and 115 at the adjourned
srssion in 1915. That was difference
of "a days in favor of the lato Democratic
Legislature. Should the late Legislature
cursed because its two sessions were "a
days shorter than the sessions of the Re.
publican Legislature that preceded it2

A Democratic State Legislature,
WHAT II DID and WHAT ITDIDA'T.
from the Wayne County Democrat
SOME OF THE coMMENpABLE THINGS.

bOME OF THE COhMENDAbLE THINds'
Among the commendable things the
late Legislature did, was the reduction Of
State taxation, the enactment of county
fee and salary law which reduces the
salaries of county officials, the enactment
of law doing away with second trials
in Common Pleas courts, and law pro-
viding for redistribution Of the judicial
force, by which means the ends of JUS
tice and the transaction of judicial busi-
ness will be largely promoted, without
entailing additional expense on the peo-
Pile; an amendment to the constitution
is submitted to a vote Of the people at
the October election to create commits.
sion to help clean up the docket Of the
Supreme Court, which is largely behind
hand, and an amendment providing for
the assessment of a special tax on dogs !;
the Adair Law has been shorn of its
black-mailing features, and the Pearson
Bill mas Deen enacted INTO law.
NOT BAD, IS IT?
The late Legislature, at its regular ses-
sion in 1874, reduced State taxation
three-tenths of mill on the dollar.
That produced reduction in the State
taxes of four hundred and serenity -foor
thousand dollars. At the time this reduc-
ton was made it was claimed by Repub
lican politicians that an increase would
have to be made at the adjourned session
which met in December last. They who
so predicted, proved false prophets. A
further reduction of one-tenth of mill
was made, which on last year'sduplicate,
will amount to one hundred and .Ily.eight
thousand dollars. That reduction made
by the late Legislature at its regular and
adjourned sessions amounts 10 Sir hun-
dred and hirty,tlCO thousand dollars. And
it was plain to every one in the Legisla-
ture that this reduction was practicable.
Not bad, is itP

PItiabIe Poverty.

As the fishing party went TO Law
renee week before last they found in an
old cabin on the roadside, about II
miles from Pulaski, in this county, an
old man named Hughes with his wife,
both bent double with age, an idiot
daughter nearly grown, and
u little tattered and helpless son
They were without anything to eat
had no bed-clOthes, and very few clothes
of any kind. They were literally in a
starving and freezing condition. The
fisherman gave them something to eat
as they went down, and rs they came
back they stopped to leave the provis-
ions they had left over from their weeks
sojOurn. 1t was arranged that Capt
Jones should make "A presentation speech
which he did in peculiarly touch
ing and beautiful manner, referring
mOdestly to his party, who were, he said
unworthy and simple fishermen, come
to administer comfort to another OF
Gods creatures. He bewailed the con-
dition of the destitute family and told
them that he was county attorney with
his friend Mr.. TaliafeTrO,) and would
see that they should be provided quar-
tiers in the poOr-house. Mr.. Taliaferro
was to respond on the part of the old
man, and the gladness of the old mans
heart was shown by his attempt to get
upon his knees to thank his benefactOrs,
which lent additional pathos to the feel
ing remarks of his spokesman. The
sight of the old mans destitution awak-
ened a solemn sympathy in the breasts
of the young men. The fact is, it is
shame that such want and poverty
should go unnOticed by the authorities
and, if the old man has not yet been
provided for, he should be looked to al
once, or he and his family viii starve

plenty, a land teaming with Christians
and dotted thickly with charitable in
situations! Wouldn't it be horriblei

From LynnvilIe.


Mr. EditOr:-Of course the one topic
with US As with the whole country for
the last ten Gays has been the terrible
weather. OF course our beans are
blighted, our peas have persisted, our
beets are bitten, and the early gardens
are gone But as you expressed iE in
the last issue, ali these things can be
endured, if we can only save the wheat.
As for this crop, there is as yet no
reason TO fear serious injury, although
we hear of a few of the earlier fields
being hurt. Mr.. Allen TomlinsOn, for
instance, lost Is acres, and some others
have also been damaged. Some of the
chronic prophets OF evil tell about a
spell of cold, similar to this that Oc-
cured some years ago. The wheat APP
peard 20 be as good as usual until the
people went TO thresh il, when it was
found to be without grain. Then some
people Of a cheerful and sanguine frame
of mind are thinking that these big
grasshOppers look suspicious, and that
there may be an invasion Ofthis plague.
A large number find ground for appre-
tensions in the pecuniary pressure
which is not diminishing at all, at least
in these regions
Notwithstanding the excessive cold,
the planting is nearly finished. IL is
observed that there is more general dis
position to take hold, than we are gen
orally permitted TO rejoice in. The
lesson of the past year has not been in
vain.
Mrs. Dora Brown, the accomplished
wife Of DIR. Robert Brown, has been
absent for few weeks on q visit to her
relatives. We hope for her early re-
turn, not only on her own account, but
because it is understood that Mr.. Joe.
Stacy and his wife, whom we are all
anxious to have with US, will be in
mates OF her household, and cannot
come till she returns. We think Mr.
Stacy will do well here. 1t is rare that
a week passes that lawyers do not come
here from some where. 1t does seem
that there are as many cases as ought
to be enough for county. If we keep
up three Doctors and three preachers,
it would indeed be strange if we would
let "A lawyer starye. We are often
forced to think of the remark of very
knowing old fellow who said that man
would give % cents to save his soul.
so cents to save his life, and a dollar
to have his own way. Hence it is that
the lawyers live in clover, while doctors
are pinched. and preachers starve.
Elder Sewell of Nashville is eX-
peeted to preach in the Christian
Church at LynnVille, the first Sunday
in May, beginning the Friday night pre-
viOus. Elder Sewell is a speaker of
great ability, and has many warm
friends in this community.

Hall, under the patronage of the ladies'
OF the Presbyterian Church and the
Pulaski Bar, the mock trial of Mrs.
Fannie Hamilton, widow. upon breach
Of promise sOf marriage, entered into
with Col. Jno. Barlis, for which he
claims various and sundry damages.
The suit Is conducted BIZ some Of the

Il presided over by their Honors, Judges
Jones and SpOi1oTd. The late law, al
lowing women upon trial la breach of
promise suits to select half the jury
from the female element, will be en-
forced. The witnesses comprise both
ladies and gentlemen OF the city. The
characters are all well represented, and
everything is in perfect readiness to
have the trail progress speedily. We
apprehend the greatest occasion for
laughter and fun that our people have
had in some time. Hon. Jno. A. Tin
non, Gov. Jno. G. Brown, Mr.. A. j.
Abernathy, Mr.. L. I. Taliaferro, Capt.
JnO. e. Lester, Capt. u. w. Ewing and
other members of the bar are engaged
upon che sides of the prosecution and
defense. Seats should be secured be-
iOrehand by those wishing advantageous
positions. We are requested to urge
the audience to be on hand at least by
10 o'clock, as the whole trial will be
concluded in one evening. Do not be
later than ~, or you may miss the
most interesting scene OF the evening.

One-Eyed Owl.

The strangest phenomenon fthe age
is the One-eyed owl exhibited last week
at the store of Wells and Young. 1t
has a very familiar appearance, and no
one would recognize its peculiarities
unless his attention was specially called
to them. 1t was shipped to this house
from Lawrence by some man who owns
a pottery, or jug factory, down there.
IL used to hover around the factory
furnaces at night and the glare of its
one eye in the freight and the dismal
tones of its bass voice were fearful to
see and hear. 1t exerted a strange kind
of influence upon its beholders, no = =
ever, for instead of frightening them
with pain, it had a tendency to ease
their aches. Our people fiOcked to see
it, old and young, prelate and plebe,
and strange were the expressions 1t
called forth. An insurance agent
wanted to insure its life before he saw
it. A doctor wanted to swap a cotton
bale for it and preserve it in alcohol.
Another doctor who deals in stutfs and
pOtions wanted it to stuff when it got
tired of life. A photographer wanted
to give it a sitting. In fact, every
man who saw it could think of some use
to which he could put it, and all
wanted it. 1t is still there, however,
and although all wanted it, the general
conclusion was that Wells and Young
needed it more than any one else.
