There are but two days left Of the regular
session Of the Legislature Need we remind
Democratic Senators Of the absolute neces-
city Of fulfilling their party obligations under
such circumstances Ii Ia not necessary that
we should dwell upon the advantages Of party
discipline; every Intelligent man appreciates
them but we cannot insist too earnestly that
during the last hours Of the session, that dis
eiplne should manifest itself In a practical
cal way Ii anything Of value Is to be ac-
conplished; If tho time Of the Senate and State
is not to be frittered away and ali extra session
made necessary, individual preferences must
give way 10 the decision of the majority. We
hope that the ca ucus TO be held this morning
will map out the course To be pursued by the
Senate and that no individual Senator will
sacrifice the interests Of tho State by inter
posing his personal wishes against the decision
ut the majority.

The end OF carpet-bag Governors seems
pretty much the Same In all the Southern
States save Louisiana. Frank J. Moses. the
.robber" Governor Of South Carolina, ap-
pears however, to have sunk triHc lower
than his fellows. On account of disgraceful
conduct his wife lately procured separa-
ton from him and Moses was left in the con-
genial society of the most disreputable char
aeters of Columbia He soon got rid of all
his stealings In this society and, broken in
spirit and purse. returned TO his wife with
pretended regrets and desire to bring about
u reconciliation of some kind. He was very
penitent, promised TO reform, go West prac-
tice law there and lead q new life. He so work
cd upon the feelings Of his wife that he per
suaded her Of the truth Of his penitence, and
was permitted to remain under her mothers
roof some two or three days. But one night
the Ex-Governor decamped without notice,
taking with him all the personal property
OF his wife--jcwels, wearing apparel, etc
which he could lay his hands on, together
with a good deal OF property belonging to
other members Of the family. He fed to New
York to sell this stolen property as we'll as
some information he possessed concerning
Ais fellow-thieves in South Carolina. Some of
this information he proposes to furnish will,
or at least ought to- land Moses successor as
Governor, Chamberlain. In the Pententiary.
Moses claims that he virtually owned
Wright, the negro member of the Supreme
Court Of South Carolina
Chamberlain knowing this got Moses to
arrange with Wright TO decide case he had
before the Supreme Court in his favor. giving
the justice two notes for $500 for his decision.
Moses arranged the little matter satisfactorily
and, strange to say, Chamberlain paid the
notes when they fell due, verifying the old
story of honor among thieves. In case his
word Is not sufficient, Moses has some hat

Biennial sessions of the Legislature have
become extremely popular, a large majority
of the State Legislatures now meeting only
every other year. The idea was inaugurated
III tho West, we believe, and was soon adopted
bye number Of Southern and Western States,
which found this one Of the safest and surest
ways Of economizing. Now England. and the
East generally, held out against the new
system for some time Vermont alone ex-
cepted. The experience of Western and
Southern States have shown so emphatically
the advantages of biennial sessions that there
Ii every probability OF their becoming univer-
sal In this country in few short years. Mis-
souri,, which adopted this system three years
ago, finds that IL saves Tho State directly
$a75ooD q year. and how much moro indirectly
u Is hard to say.
A special commission appointed by the last
Connecticut Legislature TO examine and re-
port upon the subject of public expenditures
Id the State, with view to rptrenchment and
a more economical administration of State
affairs, recommends, among other things, the
adoption OF constitutional amendment pro
viding for biennial instead Of annual sessions
Of the Legislature of that State.
Twenty-four States have already adopted
biennial legislative sessions Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Delaware. Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri Nebraska, Nevada,
North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania.
Tennessee Texas, Vermont, Virginia and
West Virginia, most Of which have adopted
this system within very few years II is
probable that Louisiana and Connecticut will
soon be added to the list.
The New York papers suggest this plan for
New York as WE'LL and movement will be
made in that State to bring the matter before
tho Legislature at once

One Of those deeds of darkness and shame,
which sooner or later are unearthed and the
perpetrators brought to justice and punish
ment was revealed in Algiers yesterday. The
workmen employed in cleaning the vault on
the premises oil Mr. Walter Gorham, on
Franklin street, between Homer and Jackson
streets while prosecuting their labors dis
covered the body of male child The re-
mains were examined and found to be those
of q perfect nine months infant, and had evil
IDENTIFY been concealed in the vault about two
weeks.
The inhuman mother, actuated doubtless
by an al-powerful desire to conceal her shame
from censuring world, had thrown her yet
breathing flesh and blood into the filthy sink +,
and with smiling face prepared to quit her
neighbrrs.
For some time no one knew whom to suspect
of the heartless act, but subsequently, after
canvassng the matter, it was determined to
arrest Adeline Thomas q young woman be-
longing to the house, who had, on learning
that the vault was about to be cleaned, left
the premises, saying she was going crayfish-
ing Sergeant Pujol, of the Eighth Precinct,
i'm mediately went In search Of Adeline and,
after securing the woods for an hour or SO,
succeeded in capturing the piscatorially in
clined damsel. She was locked up on the
charge Of infanticide.
