THAT T SESSION.

State had found by sad experience
that the State was greatly afflicted
with two evils among others to
wit too many sessions Of the leg.
islature-too much legislation in
other words I; and too much taxa
ton. The convention wisely
sought to remedy both these evils
by constitutional provisions. The
people thought this was right
then /; and We think they think so
still.
Biennial Sessions were only con,
templated, but Gov. McEnery
proposes to remedy this Statutory
provision Of the constitution MICA:
tory by the expedient of extra
sessions. We do rot hesitate to
predict the complete failure of the
extra session in effcctiug any good.
There is nothing in fact that they
can or need 90. The Treasury is
empty. Well what of it. It was
always empty. Did anybody ever
hear Of it being otherwise 1t is
destined to be always empty so
long as high salaries and extrava-
gance, such as extra sessions pre-
vail. So long as a ring Of bum.
mers run the State, so long it will
be empty. The wealth of Ormus
or the Ind would fail to replenish
it. Do not undertake to fill the
State Treasury. You may perhaps
carry water in a seize but YOU will
never find any money in the State
Treasury. We have known
thousands Of dollars to be paid
into the treasury and in a quarter
of a second it was entirely empty.
No funds was the word. But an
attempt is to be made to replenish
the treasury through a new reve.
nue. law. If we read the signs of
the times Alright an attempt is to
be made at this extra session to
nLllify the constitutional pro.
vision against high taxation.
Treasurer Burke and the other
leaders on the treasury propose
to have a State Board of Equaliza-
tion is what they call it-but it is
to prove a board Of Confscation,
such as Warmoth would have
given his eye teeth for but could
never get. This board is to be
composed Of the rogues who plum
der the State and who will nuIlify
the six mill limit Of taxation by
assessing property at three, FIVE
or six times its value if need be
and the tax payer will have just
as little redress as the tax ridden
and demagogue cursed city of
New Orleans has to-day and has
FOR years had. The ring Organ
with Burke at its head has already
sounded the key note, it is a board
Of equalization, who can assess
property at any value sufficient
that six mills tax on it, shall be
to satisfy the greed of
the ring. Such is the programme
already Swallowed forth by the
Democrat. For this purpose and
with this end in view a conven-
ton Of tax assessors and collectors
was called by Gov. Wilt to act
as a mouth.piece for the ring and
to give expression to the ideas of
the ring as though they came from
the people. But it is too trans
parent. 1t is very manifest where
The inspiration of the tax.collectors

THnKE can be no question of the
fact that the attention Of Eastern
railway magnates is concentrated
on California just now with un.
usual intentness. Between seven
ty and eighty thousand dollars
have lately been expended In this
State and Nevada, by heavy mon
eyed combinations, in which nota-
BILE railway names figure, In mere
preliminary surveys designed to
get practicable lines to tide.water
ON the Pacific ocean. Col. Joseph
u. Crawford, who ran one of the
lines Of the Texas Pacific In 1872
-, who built the Santa Monica
road and projected its extension to
Independence and ultimate con-
nection with the Utah Southern,
and who, until recently, was at the
head of superb scheme Of railway
development in Japan, is now In
San Francisco, representing i'm
portant projects whose scope can
only be guessed at. He ia remark

THE late cleo lions are surprise
to both parties. Few Democrats
entertained much hope of carrying
Virginia. The negro and Repub-
loan vote, added to such large
mass of rsnegades who called
themselves Democrats until they
became repudiatIonists, was a COM
blnation impossible to overcome.

But the Republicans can exclaim,
with an illustrious warrior of old,

There can be no question but that

able, because 1t will result in re-
placing Johnston In the United

ton in the matter, however, that
1t will diminish the Importance Of
the trimmer David Davis. That
individual Will serve out the brief
remainder Of his term with liza
bility,at any moment, to be turned
out Of the Presidency pro tenn. of

himself has now not q single hold
on patronage, and his power to en-
tice, reward or punish, Is ended
forever. The possession of both
branches of the New York Leglsls-
ture involves consequences whose
importance cannot be overestl-
mated. The Empire State is SO
gerrymandered in the interest OF
the Republican party that 1t re-
CURED perfect groundwork, like
the tidal wave Of 1874, to assure a
Democratic majority on joint bal
lot in that State. When this great
popular uprising made the election
Of Francis Herman possible as a
Senator In Congress New York
had not had Democratic Senator
for an age. The Congressional dis
tricts are ALEC gerrymandered in a
shameful way. Had Republican
Legislature been returned as re-
suit of the election of the 9th inst.
the present gross abuses would not
only have been maintained but
probably extended. By the prepa-
ration Of strictly fair apportion-
ment bill, which is all any self-re-
specting Democrat desires, the
party will gain at least twenty
members of the New York Assem-
bly,, ten members Of the Senate and
three or four Congressional dis
tricts. In addition, there were a
number Of very important local
Issues In the late. election In the
"pivotal" State, connected with
the canals, upon which the Demo-
cratic platform was admirably out
spoken and emphatic. The party
will thus, by an honest carrying
out Of its ante-election programme,
have an opportunity to strengthen
its position with the voters. AS to
the rest of the States In which No
vember elections have been held,
no special significance attaches to
them with the exception of New
jersey, Wisconsin and Pennsyl-
sylvania. In the Sweet Potato
State the Democrats have made
Legislative gains which will have
their effect in the election of q
successor to United States Senator
MCPHERSON, Democrat, which will
come off two years hence. AS to
Wisconsin, to the urprise OF every
one, the Democrats came within
an ace of carrying it and it must
hereafter be reckoned as doubt
full State. In Pennsylvania the
Republicans, owing to the defec-
ton Of Wolf, who ran for State
Treasurer, just escaped by the skin
of their teeth. But Wolf has come
to stay, and. the election the other
day shows him to have q formida-
BILE following. His mission is to
break the Cameron machine in the
Keystone State; and, nearly sue
cseding the other day, he will keep
on until he succeeds. Take the
November elections for all In all,
they furnish an additional evil
dence of the vitality and the gal
liant and undaunted spirit of the
party of Jefferson, and no fair
minded Republican can deny that
the honors OF the day were gather
ed in by the Democrats and were
deserved by a straightforward and
manly programme which was IN.
shrinkingly adhered to.
