ABOUT ninety bills in all were pass
Ell by the Legislature at its recent ses-
sion whereas about nine hundred
would have been ground out by the
mill during the same period of time
had not the new constitution been the
croC:hing lion in the path.
Some measures of the very greatest
importance to the people III certain
sections of the Stste failed through
disagreement between the two houses.
The bill for the transportation of
oil by pipe lines. which is of vast in
terost to the shippers Of that article
in the northwestern counties. although
it passed the House, was defeated in
- Senate by what it called legisla-
tive trick.
The bin providing a way for the
erection of new counties, after having
passed both houses, went to commit
tee Of conference on points ofdisagree-
nent, which proved 70 be irreconcila-
able, and it was heard OF no more.
Then there was the boom bill. which
was intended to be in the interest Of
lumberinen along the Susquehauna
river and to break up Peter Hcrdic' q
boom monopoly at Willamsport by
reducing the price Of boomage per
thousand feet from 81 25 to 80 cents.
The Democrats, with the aid of few
Republicans, pushed it through tbs
House in the face OF bitter contest.
/. but Herciic's magical influence was po-
tent enough to secure its death. blow
by a Republican committee in the
Senate. Tt is said that Peter and
the lumbermen will likely effect a com
promise of this vcxed question during
the coming summer
There were doubtless other bills
which ought to have passed, but which.
for various reasons, have now no life
/ in them. ln reading over the titles
of the various bills we fail to discover
any of positively bad AMI miscL lev
ous character. Their conspicuous
merit consists in the paucity Of theiI
number.

has been cast upon the Democratic
branch of the late Legislature by the
Republican press, for defeating, as is
asserted, the bill fixing the salaries
of the new Judges of the Courts and
thus preventing the State Treasurer
from paying them. The bill that was
defeated in the House by only one
vote, did not propose for the first time
to f.r the salaries of these Judges. but
to increase them. In obedience to n
provision of the new constitution the
Legislature of 1874 had already fixed
and determined the question of their
/ pay, by declring that they should re-
ceive the sa.A. compensation as Presi-
dent Judges wtre then paid All this
will be found in the second section of
the Act approved April 9th, 1874,
Pamphlet Laws Of shat yea-. page 55.
The same Legislature appropriated
$4I5.000 to meet judicial salaries, and
ont of that fund the new Judges have
been paid. The late Legislature left
the law on this subject just where it
found it, and made an appropriation
Of $4,000, an amount sufficiently
large to pay all judicial salaries. In

difficulty can the State Treasurer have

lature ought to have increased the

The DEATH OF THE OLDEST IyH,nrr

The DEATH OF THE OLDEST INHABrT-
ANT OF TIE EAETH.-The Mission of Santa
Cruz was established by monks of the Or
der Of St. Francis. The first record which
they preserved of baptism was that of an
Indian gnl, named Micaela. on Oct. o. 1871
On the 4th of March follow ing was ba ptized
Justiniano Roxas, by Fr. Isidro Salazar
o. ). L. Roxas, was then forty years ofape
and perhaps even somewhat over forty so
that lie was at least 1913 years old when he
died. The record of his baptism is still
preserved in the register of the Catholic
church, so that there can be no doubt con.
cerning the truth of his extrem age.
Little is known of his career. a. he has
outlived those who were children when he
was already very advanced in years. Il is
probable, however, that he belonged To tbe
Aptos tribe of Indians. For some tima bo
had been quite feeble. and his death was
expected to take place at any moment
Three days ago the Rev. Father Adam
administered the last Sacraments. Attbo
hour of his death Roxas was attended hy
the Indian who has been his guardian for
some time past. He remained conscious
until within few moments of his death
when he became insensible, and ouietlv
passed into the world beyond We believe
we do not exaggerate in saying that Roxas
