The Legislature has a tremendous accn-
mutation Of wealth before them. From
the report of the Senate committee on
legislation required by the constitution, II
will be seen that the work made necessary
by that instrument alone Il -tupendous.
We doubt the ability of the General As
sembly to get through with it all unless
more alacrity is manifested than has here
tofore been characteristic of that body.
Besides those acts aud statutes made
necessary by the new constitution We will
also have morr than the usual amount Of
miscellaneous legislation. The next two
months will be- no holda, for those gen
tlcmen who are now sitting IN the state
house At New Orleans.

A bill introduced by Senator Vance from
this district to declare what shall bc a
lawful wire fence, goes TO show that Loui-
siana planters are beginning to appreciate
the fArt that the Virgins worm fence is
not the cheapest, 1t is getting to he =
dreadful tax to keep up the fences. In
the long run We find that il il better to
have no fenees at all. The true policy is
to fcpcc In tho stock rather than 20 fence
them out. Miles and miles Of barriers
srs erected in every neighborhood to pre-
vent the depredations Of few cows and
hogs that could more easily and at far
lsas cost be kept closely confined. Would
II not BE- we'll that farmers should begin
70 sgitsss the question Of fence OF no
fence assong themselves.
