THE LEeIsLATURE.-THE INAUGURATION.
The Legislature has hardly got in working
order since its organization on Tuesday of
last week. number Of bills have been in
troduced, but they are not of special interest,
outside of two-one to change the hour OF
closing the polls, and the other to reduce the
salary of some of the state house ring.
Yesterday, Governor reject George @. Lud-
low was inaugurated. He showed good
common sense by Directing to any ostenta-
tious parade and " fuss, ~ and was inaugurated
in the simple style of former years. Chief
Justice Beasley administered the oath OF
Office, Gov. Mcclellan presented the great
seal of the State, and the new Governor then
read his inaugural address. The address,
though In many respects admirable, fails to
touch at all several important questions on
which the people would like to have an ex-
preston ofqpinion--suc as, the reduction of
the enormotis salaries of the state house ring
the restriction of the power of railroad cor
porations I; the Importance of bipartisan
judiciary &c.

WASHINGTON TERRIToRY.-- Ex-Governor
Newell, now Governor Of Washington Terri
tory, publishes many new and interesting
facts in regard to that far distant corner of
our country. Among other things is the fact
that planting and cultivating oysters in Puget
Sound is increasing to such an extent that at
no distant day the Territory will become the
great OYSTER producing section of the Pacific
coast. CLAIMS are found in great variety in
the sound, many of them growing to a great
size. The Governor states that 40, GOO, 600
pounds of salmon were caught last year and
forwarded to every market in the civilized
world, the returns being more than SO, O00 900.
He saysthe Gadus, species of Goldfish, though
larger and finer favored, is found in great
abundance in the waters Of the Territory, and
could be advantageously dried ana with pro-
tit sent to all the great centres of population
in this and other countries. The Governor
says there are on the borders of Puget Sound
100000 acres of the finest timber land in
the world. Thousands of trees are upwards
of 300 feet in height, and ten feet in diameter
at the base. The resources of the Territory
for raising cattle and sheep are represented
as being on wonderful scale, and the Gov
ernor believes that Washington is destined in
the near future to become one of the great
States of the Union. a S1s.

WHY NEwsPAPERsARE PUBLISHED Some
people have an idea that publisher publishes
his paper for almost anything but to make
money. In fact, this class of people are too
numerous--for the good of the newspaper fra
ternity. Compliments are very acceptable,
and thanks cheer the publisher, but bread
and butter Is what he and his family live
upon. Publishing is business just the same
as manufacturing or keeping store. A manu-
facturer or storekeeper would think man
crazy who came to his Office every little while,
and after complimenting him on his goods,
asked him to give him few of them. This
is just the kind of customers the publisher is
expected to deal more or less with six out of
seven days in week. We are not speaking
OF those who arc advertisers and who have
bought right to some of the privileges in
the paper. We are speaking of that immense
class of deadheads who send sixteen puff
of their business in three.cent envelope,
closely written on both sides; and of another
class of people who are constantly dropping
in or dropping it in on the publisher in little
driblets, sandwiched in between smile and
a compliment and mustard seed seasoning
of check. The sooner these people find out
that every inch of publishers space is SO
much money to him, the sooner viii publish
ers see little profit in their business.

At present the leading candidates seem to
be Gen. w. j. Sewell and George A. Halsey,
with George NJ. Roheson following closely.
In order to allay all feeling, and to prevent
the evil effects which will ensue if one candi-
date trades off his influence to another, as is
threatened, we suggest the wisdom of drop.

YENNoR,a PREn1orRn WEAruER.

VENNoR's PREDICTED WEATHER.--For
next month Vennor's predictions are as fol-
lows. " February will open mild, with bois-
ferrous winds toward the end. March is to
come in like a lion, with heavy gales and
snow storms. The weather on st. Patriok's
Day is to be bad. The month will have a
lamb-like end. April will begin with sharp
frosts. Navigation ON Lake Ontario and the
st. Lawrence river will open between the 7th
and nth. There will be some snow, but the
ter lingering will chill the lap of May to some
slight degree, the month opening like April,
with frosts. Warm weather may be looked
for, however, after the 10th, and the month
will end hot and sultry.' This is as far
ahead as Mr.. Vennor cares to make any de-
tailed and definite predictions.

attention to long series Of resolutions adopt
ed by that organization against Gen. sewefl
as candidate for United States Senator.
The resolutions declare that railroads ought
to be properly encouraged, but denounce
their mingling in politics and state that one
of the great dangers is their attempts to in

They declare that Gen. Sewell's connection
with the Pennsylvania Railroad ought to pre-
vent his election, and that the claim that he
represents the soldier element is untrue.

1t has long been a mo0ted question,
whether Mortgages or Municipal claims had
precedence, in cases where the property of
delinquents was sold for such claims. The
opinion among the more astute has ever been
that mortgage had the precedence, and that
any property sold for taxes would be subject
TO the mortgagee's claim. But others held to
the contrary, and the city has been, for years,
in the way of selling, on lease, to such as
would pay the claim for the shortest term.
Many properties have been so sold, and sew

those terms, as, owing to the Ignorance of
