his color are men of sagacity and talent, but
he looks upon the average negro as he stands
in comparison with the average white man,
and he feels that he was not ordained to be
the white mans ruler and lawgiver. He has
been raised by transient influences and q
perishable agency, for short time, far above
his level, and he is now returning to it.
To intelligent negroes the lesson will be
wholesome and useful, showing them that
permanent advancement of the colored race
can only be derived from discipline, industry,
good order, education and morality. They
see that the progress Of their race is not the
result of their politics, and that they can not
look to the ballot-box and negro legislators
for prosperity. Diligence in their business,
good will and good behavior will insure to
them due share of the benefits of good gov
eminent and civilization. The less the negro
has to do with the government the better will
it he with him and all concerned.

NOBLE DEEDS.

John Horn, of Detroit, Mich, has saved
the lives of more than a hundred persons
whom he has from time to time rescued from
drowning. The list includes men, women
and children of all conditione in life. One was
a negro who fell into the harbor while drunk.
Another was the daughter of a butcher; being
crowded from the gang planks of the ferry
boat she fell into the wharf and was drowning
in the presence of five hundred spectators.
Horn heard the alarm, ran to the wharf, bare
ly caught sight of her dress several feet below
the surface as she was sinking, plunged in
and rescued her. While rescuing young
lady he was for seventeen minutes in the
river, then full of floatirg ice.

THE LEGISLATIVE MIDDLE.

Members of our General Assembly are, d
doubt, we'll aware of the anxiety of the publi
in relation to the reformatory legislation e1
pscted at their hands. Eleven days have
passed since the opening of the session, ane
only forty working days remain out OF the
sixty days to which the session is limited
Thus far but little has been done to satisfy
the desires of an expectant and almost lmpa'
tent community. We know that this Is MOI
the fault of Democrats and Conservatives ia
either House. and we have reason to hope
that, among the Republicans, there are not
few who would like to do something to re-
move some small part of the reproach which
rests upon their party.
The apportionment stands now as lion IN
the path of reform. The Senae insists upon
making it upon the basis Of the lato census.
The House refuses to make it on that basis,
because the census is grossly incorrect and
palpably fraudulent. The House, by follow
ing the wishes of the Senate, would sanction
an enormous cheat; the Senate, by accedlng
to the wishes of the House, would admit, in
effect, that Inc census Is u Cuedt dAu 40 laiSc
and fraudulent. Such admission is not to be
expected from the Radical majority. They
will rather, if they can, throw upon the House
the responsibility Of rejecting an apportion-
ment bill and thereby defeating all legislation.
BY reference to the Senete's proceedings
yesterday it will be seen that the Senate has
passed an apportionmen t bill based upon the
new census as it is This bill must come at
once before the House. but what should be
done with it there is question now perplex-
ing many anxious minds. If it were compe-
tent for the House to adopt the Ssnate's
in part. and SO far as the
census opportunities to correctness, and to
return the bill as amended to the Senate, it
would probably have the effect of raising a
committee Of conference in the usual man.

LEGISLATIVE CAPRICE.

The new Constitution of Pennsylvania for
bids special legislation or the entertainment
Of private and personal bills. One conse-
duence of this is that there are very few job
bers and lobbyists around the State-House
Keepers Of taverns and boarding houses
mourn the absence of the usual visitors, but
the people are glad to have the cause of much
corruption removed. Members are paid q
salary of $1,000 year, so that the shorter the
annual sessions are the more profitable will
they be to legislators and probably to the
State. Legislative tin ering has been from
the first serious drawback to the prosperity
Of the States.
Legislature for profit to themselves the better
must it be for the Commonwealth. With a
good Constitution to start with, there is no
reason why State should have a new volume
of laws every year. living commenced on a
wise and truly republican plan for a govern
men5 in which the three-fold functions of
legislative, executive and judiciary power are
defined and limited, in few successive ses-
sions a code of laws may be perfected which
will need but few changes, repeals, amend
ments or additions. and only such as can be
made in brief biennial or triennial sessions.
After we obtain good Constitution in
Louisiana, after our statute books have IN
dergone a thorough expurgatlon, and after
proper and comprehensive new revision and
compilation of State laws is made, the work
might be safely left for some years without
addition or modification. That country is
the most fortunate whose code Of laws is the
most carefully made in PLANES. terms and
has the least need of change.

A LONG GuN.-A gentleman of Passaic, n.
j., has invented q gun OF enormous powt r,
capable. as he believes, of sending prof &c Tile
twelve miles. On an experimental discharge
the long steel shot pierced through plate Of
monitor iron four inches thick and buried it.
self several inches in block of solid timber.
Again it pierced nine thicknesses OF boiler
iron. The inital velocity Of the missile was
said to be 5000 fee. per second. The barrel
Of the gun is very long, and the principle OF
the invention is the discharge into the barrel
behind the prof of several successive
charges of powder, each accelerating the velo-
CITY. In the model the load at the breach
added to the several successive charges along
the barrel would, if exploded at once, split
the gun into thousand pieces. The gun Is
named after its inventor, the Lyman gun,
but the patent in this and several other
countries is the property Of Mr.. j. r. Hasklil.
Should the invention meet the expectations
of the patentee it might revolutionize naval
warfare and greatly Oh ,nge military tactics.
