WHAT is THOUHT OF THE WORK OF THE
LATE LEGISLATURE.
f4ss,Imutiuu Piones,r,

Assumption 2lOneeF.I
Since the change in the form of gov
ernments which has brought about d.
rect representation of the people by leg
;slatiys bodies it has been customary
to abuse the members roundly at the
Termination of each session, not only
for what they have accomplished in the
way Of legislatiun, but more larticularl.
for what they have failed to do. Very
often this criticism il just, for the res
possibility Of the members is divided
into so many parts that only Il minute
share falls to the lot of each and nlakes
but slight impression.
Our own law making body has been
we'll bespattered with seedlings for its
shortcomings, aud we were inclined to
think they had been exceedingly remiss
in complying with the promises ut re-
trenchment and reform made during
the canvass; but an enumeration "t
changes for the better, riatie by Senator
White on the eve of adjournment, has
satisfied us that they have done IL great
deal in the right direction, and good
reasons undoubtedly exist why they
undertook.
alexandria Demoerat.l
Many bad laws have been repealed en-
tiiely. Objectionable features in mai;
Others have been eliminated. Taxation
has been reduced aud laws passed which
will after this year still further reduce
the rate OF taxation. The harsh and
unusual pelalties which worked SO nlucli
of hardship to our people, were at once
taken off and fair rate ut interest put
in their place. The manner of ASSESS
ment has been regulated, and the tax
payer made to feel that benign gov
ernment only asks fiom him what is
actually necessary for its support, and
nothing for plunaer and the private
gain of office holders. The jury sys-
o Just administration 0f the processes of
court. The whole conduct of elections
has been so regulated AZ To purify the
ballot and insure u fair expression of
the will of the people al the ballot box.
Amendments To the organic law are sub
mitted 70 the people, which propose to
correct many abuses beyond the reach
of the Legislature and which will still
further relieve the burdens under whicl,
we have lab0red for 80 long. Even this
cnrsory statement does not embrace all
that has been done in one year, and We
could at great length give the details of
many other measures of relief and re-
form, hat these are surely enough to
satisfy any reasonable man, and to stop
grBwling because everything has moi
been donein so short u time. The wOrlti
was not made in u day, n0r can any gov
ernment of the people, however vigi-
liant and energetic, correct all the abuses
of AN eight years Radical rule i'm this
State. For what has been done We are
truly thank ful. and we have every con-
fidence in the government which has
done SO much in one short year.
