The Legislature is frittering away the
valuable time of the people on local and
private bills. We beseech the Conser-
natives and Democrats to dispense with
this sort of frivolous legislation and en-
Ploy their every opportunity to bring be-
fore their respective bodies measures of
reform for the benefit of the whole State.
Let the personal claims of John Smith
and William Jones be held in allowance
the balance of the session that the para
mount claims of the whole people may
have undivided attention.

1t will be seen that the Louisiana Con.
gresslonal investigating Committee have
unanimously concurred in condemning
the Returning Board, and recommending
the re-seating of the Conservatives who
were bayonetted out of the Legislature.
And that majority of the Committee
contradict the charges of intimidation on
the part of the Conservatives and sustain
the Foster Republican, report previously
made. The only feature adverse to the
Conservatives, is the recommendation for
recognizing Kellogg as the de facto Gov
ernor This was made by the Republi-
can majority on the Committee.

WEDNESDAY,. February n, 1875

WEDNESDAY, February n, 1875.
THE House Metropolitan Police bin wa
taken up. Mr.. Furlong said that this bill
would be burthern too hard for the tax
payers of Warren county to bear; that j
would infiict such tax that no taxpayer
however rich he might be, could pay to
support the proposed force. He presented
the facts and figures to show what it would
cost. He moved to reject the bill, and
called for the previous question; the pre-
vious question was lost.
| Mr.. BARROW (col) advocated the bill.
He said he didn't believe this bill would
increase taxation. He had read in the
Vicksburg Herald attacks on the police
force of that city; it gives them "hail CO.
lumbus" laughter) Eyes. sir, l said 'hail
Columbus | don't believe the citizens of
Vicksburg will object to this bill. / hope
it will be referred to a committe, and
amended so as 10 apply only to the CITY,"
Mr.. GLEED, (col.) hoped the bill would be
referred to Committee. Numbers of cities
had Metropolitan Police bills, and he could
not see very great objections to this bill.
MIR. GRAY, (col.) also wished the bill re-
ferred. He moved to lay the motion to re-
Ject on the table. The Chair ruled the
motion out of order.
Mr.. Bennett said he would take his pis-
toi out of his pocket and blow his brains |
out before he would vote for this bill. |
mere would be first class funeral on this |
moor before he would outrage himself and
the people of this State by such action.
MR. STONE moved the previous question
Ile Dill might be discussed for two weeks
without arriving at any conclusion, and he
hoped vote would be arrived at without
'ur1her waste OF time. The Chair ruled the
hotlon out of order. Mr.. Stone called the
l.''ns,on OF the Chair to particular rule
Inc CHAIR maintained its ruling.
MR. ALLEN moved to reconsider the vote .
whereby the previous question was ordered
arried and under the previous question
nc main question of ''Shall the bill be re-
7cted :" was put, and the bill was rejected
y vote of 81 to 10.

Early Kistncv.

On Sunday afternoon afternoon, Hon
John Wentworth delivered, before the
Sunday Dime Lecture Association, in Chi
cage, IA lecture on the early history of Chi
cago, listened to by over 1000 persons. L
is published in full in the Times and in the
Tribune, of Monday, and is highly in
structive, interesting and amusing produc
ton.
And this reminds US of what we have
often endeavore6 to impress upon our Old
Settlers Society, viz: the importance OF
securing, in some tangible and enduring
form,a history Of our county, with incidents
in the lives of notable early settlers. 1t is
properly the business of the society to dc
tnis,-but what has it done? Next te
nothing. 1t meets, and talks, and eats
and that is all. 1t should secure the ser
vices of an intelligent, impartial and indus
trious committee to prepare and publish,
each year, q paper on the early history Of
the county. 1t should make determined
and persevering effort to secure and bind
files of the early newspapers--for they con.
tain the best and truest history of the
times. Since the writer came here, in
1851, he has kept and bound a complete
file of this paper-irom its commencement
in Oct. 1851. But the earlier papers, es-
pecially those of Henry McGrew, and Of
Dan. Crist, no file is known to exist. We
have stray copies, which the Society can
have if it will hunt up others and have
them carefully bound and preserved. An
annual parade and feast is all well enough,
but society should do something to per-
petuate its name besides engraving the
names OF few men on cane and having
an annual parade and eating match.
