The Next General Assembly.

The following timely and sensible sug-
gestions are from the Lynchburg Sen
tinel /:
"Pei haps never in its history did
Tennessee need wise and judicious
legislation as badly as it does to-day,
and perhaps never since it has been
State has there been so much grum-
bling about many existing laws at pres
ent. Everything seems to have been
going on from bad to worse, until the
great Centennial year finds Tennessee
in a worse condition than it was TWEEN
ty-fve years ago. The Governor tells
the world we are unable to pay our
honest debts, and yet the people are
taxed higher than ever before, and on
every hand we hear it said that some
thing must be done to relieve the peo-
pie. There is one great cause for all
this, and that is bad legislation. We
are not careful enough who we select
to make our laws. We are too prone
to vote for our personal friends, with
out regard to their qualifications, aud
as a consequence we too often elect
men, though good clever fellows, who
know as little about law making as a
hog does about Sunday, and are as
much out of place in the legislative
halls, and play as sad havoc with the
interests Of the people, as bull in a
china shop.
There are good men in every county
in the State, and are well qualified for
seats in the General Assembly but
many of these men cannot afford to
spend their time and money in making
acknowledgements at every cross-road,
upon issues which circumstances alone
will control their votes in the legisla-
ture. The pay don't justify them, and
as consequence they don't. 0Fer.-
Men have quit serving the dear peo?ie
for honor's sake, aud the people have
no right to ask it of them. The Con-
stitution should be so amended, as to
give him fair compensation for SER
vices done. Then, and not until then,
will we have much wisdom at the
Capital.
1t is but few months until we are
called upon to select another General
Assembly, and it behooyes the peo-
pie to at once be looking around them
for the right men. Many important
questions are bound to come before
them, that it will take long heads to
successfully grapple. TheState is in a
bad fix, and it is only through wise
and iudicious legislation that she can
get out of it.

Advice TO Girla.

We beg all the girls in the land
to read the following sensible thoughts
from an exchange
Men who are worth having, want
women For wives. A bundle Of gew-
gaws, bound with string of Gaps and
quavers, sprinkled with cologne and
set in a carmine saucer,--this is no
help to a man who expects to raise a
family of boys on bread and meat
The piano and lace frames are good in
their places, and so are the frills and
tinsels, but you cannot make dinner
of the former, nor a bed-blanket Of
the latter and awful as such an idea
may be 10 you, both the dinner and
the bed-blankets are necessary 10 do
mestic happiness. Life has its reali-
ties as well as its fancies, but you
make IL all decoration, remembering
the tassals AID the curtains, but for
getting the bedsteads. Suppose a man
Ofgood sense and good prospects 10 be
looking for a wife-what chance would
you have g.? You may catch him or
you may trip him, bat how much bet
ter to make il an object for him to
catch you. Render yourself worth
catching, aud you will not need n
shrewd mother or brother 10 help you
find market.

JeHerson's Ten Rules.

Never put off until tomorrow what
YOU can do to-day Never trouble an
other for what you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before you
have it. Never buy what you don't
want because it is cheap. Pride costs
more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
We seldom repent of having eaten TOO
little. Nothing is troublesome that
we do willingly. How much pain the
evils have costs us that never happen
ed Take things always by the smooth
handle. When angry count ten before
you speak if very angry count a
hundred.

NEGRO EMIGRATION TO LOUISIANA
AND TEXAs.-The emigratio of the
colored people from the more northern
of the Southern States has been fire.
quently noticed and made the subject
of comment. The census of Louisiana,
one of the States to which the colored
people emigrated in large numbers,
gives some idea of the extent of the
movement. In 1876 the census showed
that there were 1862, ,065white and 364, :
210 colored people in the State This
year the return is 401 ,301 whites and
450,O29 colored. Out of total in
crease of 127 ,475, in FIVE years, the
negroes made up 85,919 of the main.
It is said that South Carolina has lost
none of her colored population since
the war; that Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri
have lost whole colonies, and that
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas have
gained what the others have lost.

Drinking for the Effects.

He said he didn't care anything
about liquor, only the effects. lie
never liked the taste of it, always made
him gag to drink 1t, and he made
no an awful face as he took 1T down.
But it was the effect he was after. If
it wasn't for the effects.he would never
drink drop of liquor in his life. He
was a nice young man when we first
heard him say that. lie had health,
good looks, property, and respect
able position in society. The only per-
ceptible effects of his potations then
were the heightened color in his cheek,
increased brilliancy of the eyes aud
yivacity in conversation. He was
generous and liberal with his money,
too, and had host of friends" Well,
he kept on drinking for the effects,
and he got them, as every man will
who keeps at il long enough. The last
time we saw him he was that pitiful
object, a human wreck, lie was stand
ing at BAR pleading for drink on
time, his trembling fingers being un-
able to find single nickel in the pock-
cts of his ragged apparel. He had
kept on gagging over his whisky, and
drinking for the effects until he hadn't
any effects left except those painfully
apparent ones, poverty, disease, priya-
tion and yanishedrespectability Verify
he got the effects.

init any crime? The courts have de-
cided that he did not, aud have refused

his bail, Horace Greeley, and the rest
Why, if he has committed no crime,
should he be deprived Of citizenship q?
Can anybody answer2 MIR Blaine, in
the House Of Representatives, can only
answer to these quest ons, that he ad-
mits Jefferson Davis has committed no
crime, but that he does not like what
Davis has done, and therefore he will
not restore Davis 10 citizenship. Sup
pose, some day, the majority of the
House OF Representatives should de-
clare that, though Blaine had commit
ted no crime, they did not like some
thing he had done, and therefor deprive
him Of citizenship? The two cases
would be parallel.-Ne,o York Neies.

the Iron Age, there has been a great
deal Of looseness in the grading of
