LEGISLATION, as seen at Columbus by one
Of our citizens last week, is a matter of
profound interest. But few know or care
anything about the course of proceedings.
That which strikes the stranger more forci-
bly, than anything else is the general in
difference and disregard of the members
towards the matters in hand. The thing
was perhaps aptly illustrated in vote on
Friday of last week to adjourn for the pur-
pose of attending a circus that had taken
the Capital in its route. 1t was further
shown in the interest and attention paid to
the important work of eodifying the laws.
At the reading Of the acts that had passed
the hands Of the committee, hardly any at
tention is given. Members are seeking
their own pleasure and amusement. The
member from this county was called to
take chance at this work and his throat
having been cleared, he began upon rath-
er high key and with a sort of self complac-
ent air, which when discovered it was
turned into joke and '1ouder," went up
Al haLAOuS parts VI L4o 41Ouoe5 dbJIaCIlLlS
more attention than was paid to the legis-
lative business of the House. Then the
work of eOdifyIng the laws was actually
carried to the extent of changing their pro-
visions; and this, too, without the knoWl-
edge of the members, because of the mat
tention and frOlicing during the reading.
An illustration was given in a change of
individual liability Of unproductive cor
pOrations, This was made unlimited. An
illustration was given of church organiza-
tiOns. These bodies are always involved
in debt. But think of few responsible
persons in a society being held liable for
any amount of indebtedness that may be
incurred. This was pointed out to some of
the members who Were.,in blissful ignorance
Of the provision, which, however, had not
yet been passed upon. Such is shown to be
the fsrclcal character of legislation at Col
umbus.

1t is rather gratifying TO see how the con
federates in Congress are paving the way
for Grants candidacy for the Presidency.
The loyal citizens Of the country cannot
but wish the utmost stretch to their swsg-
ger and bluster or the conclusion which it
precipitates-that a strong and positive
man is what is demanded at the head of
the Government Grants possession of
these traits in so large a proportion, and
his military power to WELD them to tie
best advantage becomes all the more appa-
rent. Grant is, therefore, gathering sup
port faster by the tomfoolery of his bitter
est enemies than by any direct means that
he or his friends could employ. Judging
by the opinions we have heard expressed,
we are strongly of the belief that Gen.
Grant is at this time the neRrly unanimous
choice Of the Republicans of this region for
President. That this is not idle talk is
shown by the New York Times of few
days ago in which special reports from one
hundred and fifty seven leading sections OF
the Union, giving the popular preference
for the next Presidential candidate-of
which one hundred and thirty-four were
spontaneous for Grant.

The New York Times says Of the course
Of the Democrats in Congress TO repeal all

in committing the Democrats to the ProPo-
sition that it is wrong to protect the e1er-
else of the ballot or of preserving the peace

voters from exercising their rights. The
object of the repeal Of the existing statute
is thus made clearly apparent, and it is un-
derstOOd as a settled thing in Democratic
policy that violence at the polls is to re-
main unpunished, since there is not a
State Of the Solid South that will make
any legal provision to suppress lawlessness

Hotels with Cemeteries Attached

Somebody tells a story of traveller
who put up at Boston hotel. He was
given a room in the rear of the building,
and the first sight which met his eyes in
the morning was a gloomy eXpanse of
graveyard right under his window. He
was man of sensitive nature, and the
landscape spoiled his appetite for that.
day. As soon as his days work or pleas
ure was over he quietly removed his bag
gage to another house. Here lie asked
for front room, and went to sleep in
peace; but in the morning, as before,
Aurora's gentle beams gilded dazzling
array of tOmb-stoncs across the street in
the Kings Chapel graveyard The gen
tlcman had another days bad digestion
but being of courageous disposition he
made a third trial, and expressly stipu-
lated that he should not be given a back
room nor front one. The gentlcmanly
clerk assigned him cheerful parlor on
the west side, and the guest went to bed
happy. lie arose feeling decidedly more
cheerful, and drew his curtains to feast
his gaze on the old Granary Cemetery,
with tomb-stones 300 years old moldering
before him. 1t was too much for the
stra ger. He paid his bill and departed
to hunt up a town "where it wasn't so
unhealthy that they had to have grave
yard attached to every hotel"
