The election of the Legislature
which will select a United States
Senator for the term beginning in
1879 is now coming to the front in
California politics and the prospects
arc not good that Eiligy Sergcnt will
be his own successor, The inaugur.
alton of Fraudulent President will
cost the Republican party a good
many Senators by 1879.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1877-03-01

The patience of the people of Lou
iiiana is exhausted. They have been
robbed before their eyes without a
chance of redress. Legislatures,
courts, jurics, and the whole State
organization, are packed with thieves,
scoundrels, and adventures The
substance of poverty issqueezcd out
for their maintenance, and confisca-
ton of what remains is impending.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1877-03-01

The Legislature, on yesterday, BY
Joint resolution, extended the session
until Friday the second day Of March.
The principal reason assigned for
this course was tie desire on the
part Of the Senate TO consider the
proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition, changing the judicial system
of the State. This is a very import
ant provision. and deserves careful
considerations before being sent to the
people for ratification or rejection
We are inclined to the opinion how
ever that the friends of Capital Re-
moval desired an extension for the
purpose Of suspehding sword over
the head Of the Executive with fear
that he might feel constrained to ve-
to the capital bill. If we are correct
in this opinion We are also inclined
to think that it is cloves labor lost"
as the Governor will not be inAuen-
ced by any such consideration in pass
ing upon the bill. If the law in his
opinion is unconstitutional and per.
nicious in its tendency he would We
to it without regard to any action
the Legislature might see proper to
take afterwards. On the other hand,
if he found no real objection to the
bill, however hostile his personal in
clinations might be towards it, he
would sign it or permit it to become
law by operation of law, So we
conclude that so far as members were
constrained to vote for extension up
on that ground, they have strained
the case to say the least of it. There
is, il must be admitted, good deal
of important legislation pretty well
matured, which, in the course of an
other week, can be put through
Register, 29d.
