VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

FA-NNA ~ IA E-I-O 10 4 n 4 y As1-.
The House of Delegates very
properly trimmed down the allow
ance of John. 0. Steger, for exam
ming the basement offices, from
$4,000 to $1.5OC. We bet he
would undertake another such Job
at that price.
The Asylum bill seems hopeless
" at-sea. Between the desire Of
the East to retain everything. and
the plea of economy ON the one
hand, and the manifest propiiety
and justice Of establishing a new
Asy lum in the Southwest, tits quite
likely nothing viii be done, and
the poor lunatics to the number of
300, will continue to languish and
die in the jails. Tie House last
Friday, cngrossed the bill Of Judge
Ould, appointing the Governor,
Secretary, and Treasurer, board
Of L. K. Supervisors, with extras
ordinary powers, but it is not like
" to become law.
The Emigration bill is law,
and $4,000 is the amount appro-
priated.

BACK AGAIN!

Congress has adjourned SINE DIE,
and the decade Of radical usurpation
and outrage has come to lis long
end. We feel that the dcluge has
been upon us, and now we go out
to view the waste, thankful that
the very pillars of the government
lave not been picked from their
foundations. Notwithstanding the
great deterioration of the govern
ment, every patriot must feel re-
lievod that the rnin is not complete.
1t is doubtful whether any party
can ever restore the country 70 the
positionTt once occupied. Every
where the sight is sickening, and
as VIC open the doors and peer in
to the empty halls now vacated 10y
the beasts that have believed the
highest type Of politics TO be plum
der, enes gorge rises in inexpressi-
BILE disgust. Let the public floors
be scraped, and the garnishment OF
new paint put on, ard tie free
west winds ventillate the apart
ments Of the temple. The work
of the democracy viii be greater
than that which confronted the
tired and cxiled children of Israel
when they returned from Babylon.
The government must be brought
back to first principles. The peo-
pie must be untaught the danger
ous doctrine of unlimited central
power. We must bring to the
front, some such figures as that OF
Andrew johnson, with the old
leathcrn backed constitution in his
hand. The civil power must be
made to suporsede and surmount
the military. Elections must
again represent the viii of the peo-
people. Third term aspiration
must be burned out of the presi~
Dental mind. We must concedc
that popular discomfort signifies
popular oppression Above alb
we must show that if the people
are TO be used, they must be truss
ted. We have no fear that these
will fail to be conspicuous doctrines
in the new erea ahead of us. and
we have just as little fear that
the recent revolution Ncrth, will
continue until il shall be crowned
with a Democratic President in
$40.

The Richmond Enquirer.

Barring Bonnet's Breyities that
are always good, there is a decided
improvement in the editorials of
the ENQUrRER. We do not know
what it is that has infused new
life into its columns, bnt even in
the dark one can feel it The wri-
ter is a thinker and sympathizer,
and his style is good, because it is
both natural and intense. One
word to him. Do quit that way
of irnpugning the candor and in
dependence Of those journalists,
who for local or other reasons, DIFF
fer with you on grave questions.
