UNAVOIDABLE DELAY.

Complaint is made by some of the city
papers and In other quarters OF the slowness
with which the Legislature transacts the
business before it.. The fault-fnders have
evidently not taken the trouble to inform
themselves, else these complaints would not
have been made Under the old constitution it
was possible to transact business much more
rapidly than now. Ia fact, bill could be
rushed through both houses, under a suspen-
sion of the rules, In single day. In this way
many imperfect and vicious laws were placed
on the statute books. For the purpose OF
preventing such legislation In future the Con-
stitutional Convention, wisely we think,
adopted certain constitutional rules for the
government Of the General Assembly, which
It must comply with, and 1t Is these rules that
cause the delay complained OF.
Under these rules bill must be read on
three separate days In each house before 1t
can become law. One days notice must be
given Of intention to Introduce It; after the
second reading 1t goes to committee, and IL
1t IL reported back on the following day and
no opposition to 1t Is developed, 1t will get
through the House, for instance, Ia about six
days. The same time will be required to pass
1t III the Senate. Thus, under the most favor
able circumstances, about twelve days are
necessary to enact the simplest measure into
law. Buff any opposition is made to 1t; II it
remains several days In the hands of the CON-
mittee, as almost always happens. and II
the usual parliamentary tactics are resorted
to by opponents In order to delay or defeat
It, the time required for its passage becomes
greatly extended. In the ordinary course of
legislation under the new constitutions bill
can be passed In about three weeks. II 1t en-
counters much opposition. a full month may
be required. A notable cause Of delay Is the
fact that the roll must be called upon the
final passage OF every bill.
With this explanation 1t will be seen that it
Is not within the power Of the General Assem-
bly, to perfect much legislation during the
first month OF the session. It can, however,
SO shape matters In that time as to be In
condition to expedite business very rapidly
thereafter. This Is just what the present
Legislature Is now doing. During the past
three or four days large number OF bills
have been passed by both houses, and there is
work enough ahead OF them In an almost per-
fected state to last two or three weeks. 1t
may be mentioned, in this connection, that
both houses have, except on rare occasions,
exhausted their calendars each day before adj
journing. Those familiar with legislative
proceedings will readily understand that this
was all that could be satisfactorily and
properly done.

STRUCK ,EM AGAIN.

Our kilograms this morning give an &C
count of terrible battle between the United
States troops and those Indians In Arizona.
We have already called attention to the series
Of desperate and destructive struggles be-
tween these two formidable antagonists, and
recorded with pain and reluctance the CORE
spending series Of condolences which pre-
vented our noble boys In blue from wiping out
the savaRes beyond all human recognition. As
our readers will remember, the first trouble
was that Morrow's troops got tired, and,
while they were tanning themselves In the
shade, Yictoriais Indians escaped, leaving one

The Cincinnati Enquirer has seen 9774

choice for the Presidency. Both the Demo-
cratic and Republican lists are headed by
Ohioans Thurman and Sherman). Tilden is
q good second In the Democratic list, while
Blaine is some thousand votes behind Sher-

publican list six are Ohioans, and of ten DEM

some difference OF opinion In Ohio on the
presidential question, nearly all the citizens
OF that State are agreed on one point: that
none but Ohioans deserve the Presidency.

Notwithstanding the prompt denial OF his
friends that Mr.. Blaine will under no clrcum-
stances consent to accept the nomination for
Vice President, the intimate personal and
political friends Of Gen. Grant insist that
there Is not. and there will not be any an
tagonism between Grant and Blaine, and that
the latter will agree to nomination on the
same ticket with the former. Washington
correspondent Of the New York Sun says that
the men who are nearest to Grant, and who
manage his canvass, are industriousIy but
discreetly giving out that the ticket Is to be
Grant and Blaine. II the assertions OF Grants
friends are true, the course Of Blaine's trusted
representatives at Harrisburg can be readily
comprehended. Blaine himself has author
lied the most conspicuous one OF his special
representatives at Harrisburg to announce, In
dispatch from Washington, that there was
perfect accord between his friends and the
friends Of Gen. Grant.

We have received from the publishers a
copy Of 1.-THE New York Express Statesman's
Annual and Almanac for $780," which is a
very valuable book, being full Of statistics
and information valuable to bankers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, agriculturists, editors
and politicians. While the book Is generally
accurate, we notice one error that In justice to
our much maligned and long enduring peo-
pie, ought to be corrected. In enumetating

RADICAL ISLANDERS.

The announcement that the editor OF the
Ledger-the Radical organ In this city-had
been 30 unfortunate as to break his leg by
an accident, on the twelfth instant, caused
genuine regret among his many friends, as
Gov. Hahn is a genial and intellectual gen-
tleman. albeit too much given to Radicallsm.
His editorial utterances have been generally
moderate, and though pronounced, yet not
offensive. Knowing that the editor was dis
abled we had the curiosity to examine the
Ledger with a view OF ascertaining how the
sentiments of his co-workers conceded with
his own, or, to put 1t In homely phrase, to
see how the mice would play when the cat
was away. We were not surprised to find
that the occasion had been fully utilized and
that the Ledger was booming, 50 to speak,
with TRADES upon the people OF New Orleans
and louisiana and that Its columns fairly
reeked with slanderous and malignant accu-
sations. M=..
following choice extract:
And the moment Jolly Rex turns his back the

Tue real folly Is not that which hex inspires

OF our Northern visitors. In a criticism OF

by Judge Tourgee, q carpet-ba9ger, which Is

people Of the South, and which Is sufficiently
full of bitter denunciation to please little
Boothby (who has sent for an invoice), the

by for his act and to indorse Tourgee's llbels
as "veracious."
But Its most ambitious effort In the line OF
defamation, Misrepresentation and vllIifica-
ton Is In an article on Immigration" In
which 1t attempts to prove that the reason
why immigrants fall to come to louisiana is
owing to spirit Of lawlessness which obtains
among our people, and to the fact that set
tiers among them are not protected Ia the ir
life and property.
Speaking OF what are regarded as induce
ments by an immigrant, it says:
The soil and climate are Of little value to
his personal opinions or comfort. He cannot
comprehend that he IL am nable to two codes
that which the com monwealth prescribes In SOL
men caudestinely enforce without res raint

The telegraph announced few days ago the
probability of the Argentine Republic taking
: hand in the war now waging In the southern
portion Of South America, by joining the
allied forces OF Peru and Bolivia against
Chilli. The relations between Chill and the
Argentine Republic have never been friendly,
the two powers having q squabble over the
dreary, barren dominion or Patagonia, to
which they both put forward claims. More
than once war has been threatened between
them, but actual hostilities have hitherto
been prevented by the profound respect that
the two republics entertain for each other.
They are the two progressive republics OF
South America and nearly equal In navies and
resources. A conflict between them would be
q Kilkenny cat fight, In which both would be
crippled without any possible advantage to
either.

umbrella and had to stop fighting to look for
1t. And 30 on-the chase has been going on
for ever so long, interspersed with desperate
combats, until the civilized world stood aahast
at the bloodshed and the suffering.
And now, behold another section OF our
great army has fallen foul OF the Indians, and
a narrowing battle has ensued. On this occa-
sion, however, there was no repetition of any
OF the old excuses. Our troops were not tired !:
they did not drop their lunch, or anything Of
that sort. On the contrary, they found them
selves SO beset by the heartless and lnconsid-
crate savages, and were getting warmed up
to such an embarrassing extent, that they

from the dispatch that the Indians took our
troops by surprise. The latter were saunter-
Ing leisurely along in pursuit, supposing that
the Indians would continue to retreat preclpi-

hoped to catch them soon, when, all
