The Register and Ne,os and Courier are
hghtlng the question. tho Register gently re-
minding them that $500 par annum is equiva.,
lent to twenty baes Of cotton, while the Me,us
and Courier dubs the proceeding as the
Salary Grab.
There can be 20 question under the existing
law but the pay of members for tho two
sessions would exceed 81 200; but this was to
be q reform Legislature, and for the length
of the session 5000 would be higher pay than
was taken by the Republicans. The session
of l875-76 lasted nearly Ave months,
c6hnting adjournmcnts, whilo it oan hardly
90 expected the two sessions of the present
body will last above threo months We will
not, however, quarrel about tho pay Of the
members, if proper practical reforms be
introduced and passed. If great good to the
whole people can be accomplished, then the
whole people will rejoice and commend those
who have been the instruments to work out
that good. HE u trE
The vote on the salary question is gathered
from the correspondence of the Me,cs and

ssTHlE LEGISLATURES,

In 1859, says tho Register, was in session
three weeks, passed sixty acts, at q cost OF
$4,000 Both sessions of the present Gone
ral Assembly have already occupied ten
weeks, only thirty acts have been passed,
and the cost is about $l20,0O0."
This is no aattering exhibit for tho present
7cform body, but we doubt not il has had
many complications to contend with which,
have crippled its working capacity and pre-
vented such progress as could otherwise have
been made. Besides, there ore, doubtless,
very many bills in various stages Of progress
towards acts. and in the last few days of the
session tho work of the body may increase
80 rapidly as to present fair result for the
eleven weeks. 1t is not the amount of legia-
lation the people arc interested in, but its
character aud effect upon the economy of the
government and the encouragement it will
afford to the development of the material
resources of the State. We are uniformed
what acts have been passed, but hope when
the session closes the people will see in the
work of the body many practical reforms
which will in tho future sensibly reduce the
burdens Of taxation. The country expects
this, the party promised this and the people
will not be satisfied outside Of this
Two questions, which have occupied much
time, are the payment Of tho interest on the
funded dcbt Of tho State, and the pay of
the members themselves. To do the former
would be just and in accordance with the cons
tract entered into by the State under the consol
dation not with persons accepting its provis-
ions, but at this time tax for the purpose
would bo burdonsomo. Those opposing tho
measure put their opposition on tho ground
shat no interest should be paid on any bond
until its legality has been fully investigated
and decided upon, and as this cannot be
dene before another session, no tax need be
levied. On the other hand, tho administra-
tion and it's friends favor investigating the
bonds, but contend tax should be levied
and bs in the treasury ready to pay so soon as
the next Legislature has acted on the bonds
under proper report. The House favors a
tag for the interest. while the Senate opposes
ii, and as-yet,no agreement has been reached
The question Of the pay of the members
themselves has excited groat deal of dis
cussion. The House voted to pay the mem ;
J, bers Ave dollars per day for the two sessions,
VII. would be ample compensation and
