THE STATE HOUSE.

there was no meeting of the State LeRis

| under consideration for the last week
We understand that one OF their princi.
| pal objects is to secure perfect harmony
and unanimity between the Democratic
and Conservative element, md that
there now exists perfect harmony be-

gagged In preparing wise and SOLITARY
measures to be laid before the 1egisla-

They also discussed the different
changes which will be made in various
departments, and have determined on a
base OF action. The principal attention
mas been given to the Hawkins matter,
and Q spirit Of determination to have
him impeached iS shown in the strong
est manner. The committee of inyes.
tigation have been taking some exceed
ingly straight steps towards the accom-
plishment OF this purpose, and some
testimony bearing on the case, which
reflects very little credit to him, has
been heard by this committee. Things
are getting blue for hawkins, and Stokes
also, and It can be confidently expected
that both will be impeached. y
The only business transacted on Sat
urday In the Office OF VIM. De Fncto

by that gentleman to his friend Dan
Rose that he tntended to 60 to the thea

From the yicksburg Heraid.l
Since the Radicals came into power
in this State, almost all respect for the
law has been destroyed. With d cor
rupt Judiciary, corrupt and imbecilt
Legislature, DndR weak partisan execu
tive department. we have got to that
pitch. beyond which we cannot So
without the State erumbling into chaos.
The fact that the commonwealth Is nc
worse Off is attributable to the fact that
IL Is surrounded by communities where
the law Is enforced and respected.
In addition To this the aid OF the bet
ter class OF citizens has kept society to-
gether In some sort OF shape In spite Of
those who have prOstituted the laws to
base partisan purposes. From the high
est to the lowest Radical officials In the
State, the partisan prostitution Of the
laws has been tho rule instead of the
exception. The Governors example
has been closely and cruelty followed.
Our Supreme Court has escaped all cen
sure In this respect, by reason OF q ma
jority OF it's Judges being faithful to
their high and important trusts. This
is but one exception In the whole gov
eminent OF the State-the only oasis in
the dreafy desert OF partisan concen-
trated cussedness.
This must all be changed. A halt
must be called, and march back must
be forced. The law should and must
reign supreme. TO secure this and all
the good results which will follow. all,
no matter how high or how low their
official positions, must be held strictly
before the law for their
acts. Let none be spared who have

do more toward protecting the future

the constitution and the laws
