OBSERVATIONS OF THE EDITOR OF THE WI
MONA ADVANCE AT THE CAPITAL.
Wia0nN A9r0nce

1t was our pleasure to visit jackson two
days this week, and witness the proceed
ing OF the State Legislature. A nobler body
OF men never were officially brought to-
gether. We venture the prediction that
they have done the State as much good as
any session since the war, or perhaps more.
There has been an unusual mum Der of bills
introduced, and it has kept the more
thoughtful mem bers busy to prevent undue
legislation. In consequence of the great
changes made by the Legislatures of 1875
and 1876, there are bur few lawsof gener-
al nature that need enactiug. The COM
mittees OF both the Senate aud House have
beeL lSbOrioHsly engaged on the matters re-
ferred to them. and their reports have gem
orally been good. Ia the Senate there are
not less than hall who are men OF large and
enlightened views, who are com peteHt to
I'LL any position OF honor or trust that the
people of Mississippi have in their gift.
