The state House.

There were symptoms yesterday that thu
adjustment, although accomplished, hat
failed to make happy family of the Leg
islature. That vaulting ambition which ha.
been known occasionally to overleap itself
has manifested its prese nee in the House
and is threatening to interfere with the
millennium promised, when the Repub
licans, accepting the adjustment, aban
dOned their control of the House. Not
content with having reor ganized that body
on a basis that is Dem ocratic beyond a
doubt, the Democrats, forgetting that the
adjustment was made in the in
terest of peace, have commenced to
var against it for the purpose of
increasing their majority. It is said
they intend unseatine four Republican
members in order to give themselves ma.
jority on joint ballet, with a view no doubt
Of electing a Dem ocr ratio United States
Senator in case it should be decreed there
is vacancy. The matter of unseating was
really broached in the House yesterday,
and a contest of the seats of four Republi-
can members-namely: Messrs Martinez,
Rochon, Floyd and Northumberland to
the Committee on Contested Elections.
This does not look ike peace.
In the Senate the same spirit is gradually
developing itself, and unless something can
be dcne to remind Dem ocratc Senators that
there is more impo rtant work to be done
than the promotion of pa rtisan ends it is
very certain that but little or no legislative
work, looking to reform, can be- accom-
plished.

Two Old Friends.

When Mr.. Trezevant and Mr.. Arroyo took
their seats at the clerks desk of the House
OF Represen tatives, the members lost sight
in their official capacity Of two very old
friends.
Throughout the whole of the first, second
and third Legislatures and half of the
fourth, William Vigers has been clerk of
the House of Representa- tives, and would
have continued in that Office as long as his
party had votes enough to elect him.
His first responsible positio was secretary
OF the Constitutional Convention of 1868,
and here he displayed the knowledge of
parliamentary law and executive ability
that made him one of tae best of clerks.
John w. Roxborough came in as assist
ant clerk two or three years later, and was
as competent in his department as bis chief
was in his own. Although Mr.. Vigers de-
clined being candidate, ha received many
complimentary votes, and this, perhaps,
induced Mr.. Roxborough to run, though a
majority Of political opponents was against
him.
Both are gentlem en- of great personal
popularity, and in good natu1ed readiness
to perform reason able services their sue
cessors will find it hard to equal them. The
reporters of all papers are under many OBJ
legations to both of tn EN- for tightening
their labors. No inform alton it was in their
power to give was ever withheld, but on
the contrary, they we're always pleased to
aid in gathering it.
That their term of flee has been ab.
ruptly brought to close is due entirely to
political causes, and the fact is no obstacle
to preferment in other quarters, where their
abilities and social excellencies will meet
with reward.

Amusemeuts.

At the Academy of Music last night Mr..
j. j. Wallace played job Armroyd in Lost
in London" The play is strong one, more
domestic than sensational. Is only fault is
the sad phase Of its composition. 1t tells
the old story Of an honest couptryman
robbed of his wife by dishonest CITY man:
of the Lancashire nAner's journ ey from his
darkened home in search of the lost one in
London. The drama has about it the same
elements which characterize the "Wilow
Copse,' and the acting of Mr.. Wallace as
JOB can only be compared with that of
Couldock as Luke Fielding HIS dialect is
perfect, and he grasps and represents the
character with all Of the truth to Dature and
force which marks his style of acting. The
came play will be repeated tonight, in

United States troops were sent across
