SILLY TILK.

Sons of oar Northern Members of Con-
gress, backed by the newspapers of the party
of spoils, are pursuing very inconsistent
policy with regard to public improvements
Shat may some day react upon them. When
ever an appropriation for custom house or
other internal i'm provenlent is asked for
locality south of Mason & Dixon's line
howl is raised that raid is being made
upon the treasury for the benefit of the
rebels, and appeals are made to defeat the
measures in~order to prevent the entering
wedge being driven which shall split the
doors of the treasury vaults wide open. But
when appropriations are asked for to builo
custom houses or improve harbors and
rivers at the North, it is an entirely differ
ent matter. These are great works Of
national Importance, which all patriotic men
ought to combine to pass.
While we are as strongly opposed as any
one can eau be to allowing the people of the
South to make raids on the federal treasury.
and cannot consent to the payment of any
rebel war claims of whatever character, We
cannot approve of the sectionalsm that goes
to such an extreme as to deny to one section
of the country the money necessary for the
deve lopment of it's resources. It has long
been notorious that the levees of the Missis-
sppi river are in wretched condition. The
river is constantly overlooking its banks, de-
stroying the crops and property of the peo-
pie, and leaving great masses of filth behind
TO generate disease and promote death. The
South is also deficient in public buildings
Those now in existence there are simply dis
graceful to the government It is not, we
insist, asking too much to request appropri
atoms for these purposes, and yet we are
gravely informed, when such a request is
made, that the South is trying to plumber the
government. The sections ought to II
treated alike. There is no fairness in ex
pending millions at the North and only
thousands at the South. The government
was not established for the especial benef
of tho North, nor yet for the especial benef
of the South, and 1t is wrong to SO pervert it
We hope to see q better feeling spring W
in Congress and among the people in thi
regard. We ought to be willing to do VIVA
we can to protect the people of the Soutl
from the destruction of their property b,

THE HOUSE.

The House displayed rare ability yesterday
J in consuming the time of both the forenoon
and afternoon sessions without accomplish
ing anything. There was absolutely nothing
done in the forenoon save the adoption of a
resolution for joint committee on railroad
determinations. This was debated at great
length, amended and re-amended, and finally
adopted in al untirely different form from
that in which it was presented. The afternoon
was consumed in the passage of mass of local
bills, and in advancing those on first and
second reading peg or two. Throughout the
whole afternoon the dreamy monotone of
the reading of bills and the calling of the
roll on their passage rssoln1ei through the
ball, and not until the House resolved itself
into committee of the whole on general
orders did few of the members manage to
get up spirit enough to interfere few tri-
vial amendments to tbs bills under consid-
Grafton. When the bill to extend the time
for the payment If seed grain came up,
more than dozen amendments were pro-
posed, most of them being so unpopular
that they were defeated without a struggle
while two of them did not even receive the
votes of the members who proposed them
Nearly an hour was consumed in the discus
sion of this bill, and it was fually recon-
mended for passage. An adjournment was
had til! Monday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock,

who loved state psgeantry, would not
hear OF privacy, even when his own
brothers were concerned. For having
dsobeyed him in this particular, Jerome
Bonaparte, Kingo Westphala, once got
into a scrape almost as bad as the one in
Baltimore. His majesty had gone to
dine quietly at q restaurant at the Paris
Royal with Pigault LebruD, the novelist,

two discovered that they had no money

For several days an insulting document
misuamed a petition, with printed head.
ing, and sent out to the Republicans Of
Ohio, has been pouring into the Legisla
ture, asking that body to resign and go
home. The first of these petitions pre-
sented was signed by The redoubtable
Gen. John Beatty and twenty-three
other citizens of Franklin county, and
was presented by Private Dalzell, of Me-
tastasi' fame. These petitions being in
the nature of an insult to the Legislature.

weeks there has been paid lobby hang

There can be no doubt about this, and

self to one Of the most vilainous plans
that has erected its head in Columbus
for years. 1t may be very amusing to
the average cross roads Republican poll.
tiCian to see the Legislature flooded with
these petitions, but we imagine thai very
many good men who have signed them
will be troubled with remorse of con-
science, when they discover that they
have lent their names to an insult to the
lawmaking power of the great State of
Ohio, which has only been guilty OF the
crime of attempting to stand between
them and gigantic scheme in the in
terest of jObbing ring.
Persons who are bowling about the
length of the present session of the
General Assembly, should not forget
that upon it is imposed the duty of wind
ing up and enacting into law the work of
the Codifying Commission, which en-
braces the entire General law Of the State \
of Ohio now ia existence. Heretofore
the annual volume Of statutes has made
a book of from two hundred to three
hundred pages. The volume of laws of
the present session of the General As.
sembly will not fall far short of four
thousand pages, or ten times the extent |
of the volume enac'ed by the second ses.
sion of the sixty-secOnd General Assem-
bly,, the last Republican Legislature of
this State. To transact this amount of |
business will require time, and, if it |
takes until the middle OF June to com.
Dletei it, the Legislature has got to remain
IN session until that time Bills embra-
ling three and four thousand pages, as
me of these bills does, can not be read
md considered under three months; and
when once taken up precludes adjourn.
