The Biennial Session Law and the Leg
islature.

There seems to be some misapprehen.
sion abroad, as to how the new Iegisla-
tive, or biennial session law, is to he in.
augurated, and we attempt in few words
to explain it. State senators this year.
from the odd.numberec senatorial dis.
tricts, ,willlh hold but two yearsr; those from
the en-num bered districts will be elect.
ed four years-and representatives in
proportion as to time. The senators from
the odd-numbered districts, therefore,
will not assist in eleeting Senator Nc.
Millan's succcssOr-which event wi Il Oc-
cur NJ the last session previous to the ex.
piration Of his time, which will be March
8, 1881. Senator Windows successor
will be chosen two years from that time.
Those senators elected this fall in the
even districts, however, being chosen for
four years, will participate in the selec-
ton of Senator McMillan's successor,
and those senators chosen in the odd
districts in November, 1880, will also
participate in that election, but not in
WINDOWS, because federal census will
he taken In 1880, and the state will be
areapp0rtioned. And, after each reappor.
stionment. there Is always an entire new
election again, Of oil senators and repre-
sentatives In the Sta.e; and after the next
apportionment they will probably again
be elected for two and four years, ID or.
der that they may lap past each other, as
is the object il the election this fali.

tian "dOn't know what he is going to do

come he generally finds out what he is
going to do, in hurry. His nerves are
all strengthened, his mind is tense, and
he can do four Tunes as much as a man

mate. The short wheat crOp-in fact
the almost total failure of it-has made
hard times. The problem is an easy one
of solution, The wheat crop was the
dependence Of the country. It failed and
spoiled the calculations of everybody.
Now, the only thing to do, is, to accept
the situation philosophlcally. We are
not the only people to suffer this sort of
misfortune and disappointment. We
should bear the unavoidable ills that fall
to US with as much complacencv and
reason as possible. These things are all
written in the charter of life. They are
ours to bear, and come to test our pa.
tience and fOrLearance; 10 teach US that
we are dependent creatures: to prepare
us for the better things that are 10 store

THE Bostvn Journal says OF Mr. Whit
TIERS new v0ll1ma Of nOomS.

THE Bostvn journal says OF Mr.. Whit
tiers new volume of poems:
The Vision, of Echard and other Poems takes
its title from Mr.. Whittier's latest published
poem in the September Atlantic. It contains
twenty-slX pieces, altogether, and includes all
':Hazel-Blossoms,' four years ago. Among
them are several memorial pieces-nOtably
that to General Bartlett several poems Of
occasion, such as the hymn of Lexington, and
the Centennial hymn, one or two ballads in
which narrative and meditation are charm
ingly blended, and not few of those poems
so profoundly characteristic that they
body Mr.. Whittier's sweet and spiritual phil
osophy and reflect the serenity and trustful-
ness of his inner life. The nervous vigor and
fire and the trumpet-tOned ring which mark
ed Mr.. Whittier's earlier verse, and especially
his anti-slavery poems, have departed with
the occasion which called for them. In their
stead we have tenderness of feeling, sub
tilty OF thought and grace and finish of
diction which make his poems ministers of
beauty and messengers of comfort: Mr..
aPpreciate-they love his verse, and the no
bic and gracious spirit which breathes
thro1ghit. The present volume which Hough-
closes % WITH Mr.. whittiers re response St to oo the
friends who sung and celebrated his seven
tleth anniversary last year. Although many
of our readers must be familiar with it, it is
80 pleasantly characteristic of the poet that
we venture to quote it:
'Beside that milestone where the level sun,
Nigh unto setting, sheds his last low rays

But a majority OF pastors seem to
imagine that the first requisite ola sermon
is quantity. This would be we'll enough
if the quality justified 1t, but the quan.
,ity consists too frequently Of mere words
and of repetitions of what the speaker
has been saying ever since he began to
speak, and these things are not equiva-
lents for the pastors salary nor for the
time of the hearers either. If minis
ter has very little to say common sense
should suggest that he use only little
time to say it in. Sunday is day tor
physical and mental relaxation, and no
one, least OF all a religious teacher, IS ex.
cusable for making it an occasion tor au.

should be no longer than its material
justifies, and should end when 1t has
reached its mark. The bullet that hits

Drive.Wcu Victims.

Minnesota is spiked all over with many
thousands Of driven wells, purchased and
paid for years ago without the slightest
suspicion that the parties selling the same
we're infringing any patent But after
these iron tubes, with their attached
pumps, had been in operation for years,
the agents Of the patentees suddenl,
swooped down upon them with claim
for rOvalty-n0t against those who sold,
but against the purchasers of the wells
Their claim was naturally resisted with 3
good deal of indignati"n, and as these
driven wells were especially numerous at
Minneapolis, ana the agent of the paten.
tee had selected that city as the starting
point and center of his operations. the
drive-wellers combined to resist the paw
ment of the claim, having previously re-
jected an offer to compromise ut five dol
lars for each we'll. After good deal of
litigation the United States district and
circuit courts decided in favor of the pat
enttc that the selling of these tubes was
an infringement OF his patent. Legally
therefore, there can be no doubt that the
patentee is entitled to royalty on these
metallic "holes 10 the ground" nor Is there
any doubt we suppose that he Can legally
claim and obtain judicial enforcement of
his claim for any amount he may choose
t" levy upon the unfortunate owners. But
while the legal right is undoubted it IS I'D

Ihe wells themselves are simple iron

dollars per foot. 70 charge ten dollars

at one time only asked five dollars, and
was glad to get that sum. But that was

Reflections.

The summary of election returns which
we present to-day, shows the general re-
suit Of the late canvass, and renders pro-
per brief review Of the causes which
proved disastrous to part Of the lte-
publican ticket and diminished very con-
siuerably the majorities of the successful
candidates. The fair weather seemed, as
it always does, to keep large number Of
voters away from the polls, and, as is
usual, the absentees were nearly all of
them fricrds Of the regular nominees.
Fully one third Of the republican popu-
lation of the county staid at home, in the
insane belief that those holding differ.
ent opinions would remain away in equal
numbers. In this they made a fatal mis-
takc-one which should never be repeat
ell. for it is an axiom in politics, that the
supporters Of a bad cause always rally
their full strength at the polls. This is
especially true IN cities.
In Austin, each poll was besieged con-
stanlly by gang Of the worst elements
of every bad class, and they actually con
lrolled the election in spite of the vigor
Gus cndeavors Of the best citizens in the
community. This fact is its own sutf
cicnt commentary, and no more need be
said, cxcep: that this union OF the bad
elements was formed and perpetuated by
the liberal use of money, supplied by the
fusion candidates and their friends. In
the rural districts the vote was mainly an
honest enc. The r.asses did that which
they thought tor their best interests, but
they were wrong, as they Will sorTo~fully
admit before the close Of another year.
In most Cases, the opinions OF opposition
voters were formed hastily, and upon the
advice Of interested persons employed by
the mercenary leaders in the great fraud
by which an attempt was made to cap
turc the official control Of our leg islative
and county officers.
The failure of the wheat crop, and the
scarcity Of money, and the opportunities
Of creditors, formed the basis upon which
to make a successful appeal to the feel.
ings-not the judgment-of the people,
and many of them, under II dclusion
voted for the mongrcl ticket, which had
been prepared to meet the emergency.
Some men voted against the ticket, for
fear that it wnuld III some way advance
the interests of the old bondholders, and
others in the belief that it was necessary
to protect themselves against the various
monopolies from which the industries
are suffering. These were only vagaries
-mere imaginings, without any real
foundation.
Personal feeling entered largely into
the canvass, and seemed to diminish the
straight vote very considerably. Our
friends must learn that party, and not
personal interest, is paramount, and that
individual sacrifices should be made TO
subservc the public interest. Taken alto
gether, the election teaches valuable
lesson, and one by which we shall all de-
rive much profit.
We should NOT close this review, with.
out word of praise for that part of the
democratic party which believes in hon.
est money and devotion to principle
They gave their support to our ticket, for
which We take the liberty to tender them
the thanks cf the republican party.
