The EXHIBIT OF THE EXPENsEs Of the
last Legislature, made by Gov. IIaml-
ton in his famous bomb, is really the
best point in the whole document The
point is not made for the first time, nor
are the data published for the first time.
This whole subject was ventilated in the
columns of the INDEPENDENT during the
preliminary canvass for Congress last
summer, and Gen. Chapman was sought,
as a member Of that Legislature, and
chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mitt e, to be made to bear a large por-
ton of the sins of that body But
whether the facts be old or new, they
are sad and disgraccful, and it is well the
people should bear them in mind, So
that such scandal may be prevented, if
possible, in the future There are one
hundred and eleven members in both
houses Of the Legislature. and they re-
1fthcd 100 officers, besides the chap
lains, to assist them to discharge their
duties The stationery, mileage and
per diem of the III members amounted
to $57,7 whilst the stationery, mile
age and per diem of the employees,
amounted to S59,27G, or some 81 500
more than that of the members Now
it is ont of all reason that III members
should require l05 employees to wait
upon them, nearly one to each member
Nor is there any excuse whatever for the
payment to these employees of big sala-
rlcs, equal to tue pay of the members
themselves There can be no doubt
whatever that these fac's show a squan
dering of the public money entirely un
iustlfable, and it must be prevented in
the future. Now that public attention
has been called to this subject, we have
no fear OF its recurrence. We do not be-
ieve the Democratic party of this State
$ corrupt, and we think it abundantly
lble to reform itself Nor do we believe
The Ring" any more responsible for
A.ia misconduct, than t'lose who oppose
that indefinite body. The whole party |
is responsible for the misdced and the |
whole party must take hand at correct
ing and preventing it in the future.

A Curious Fac.

Bands of i'usic are forbidden to play On
most of the large bridges of the world. A con
slant succession of sound waves, especially
such as come from the playing of band, will
excite the wires to vibrate. At first the vi.
brations are very slight but they will in
cre1s; as the sound waves continue to come.
The principal reason why bands are not al
lowed to play when crossing certain bridges
the suspension bridge at Niagara for instance
is that if followed by professions of any kind
they will keep step with the music, and
this regular step would cause the wires to Vi
brate. At suspension bridges military com
panies are not allowed to march across in
regular step but break ranks. The regular
trotting gait of large dog cross suspen-
sion bridge is more dangerous to the bridge
than heavily loaded wagon drawn by 6
team of large horses.

The L. S. SENATE still drearily drones
along without attending to its proper
business. The Republicans refuse to 20
into executive session until the officers
are elected, and the Democrats refuse
to consent to the election of the officers
and the contamination of the barcain
between the Republicans and Malone.
Consequently day after day is wasted in
long dreary speeches on both sides,
sometimes enliyencd by angry passages.
Such scene as this last occurred on
Wednesday between Malone and
Senator Hill of Ga. When, Malone in
dulgiug in plantation manners" de-
clarcd Hill was a coward, because he
spoke of bargain between Malone and
the Republicans Hill treated Malone
and his bluster with dignifed contempt.
and no blood is likely to be shed be-
tween them. As public sentiment OPP
poses duelling, Malone finds it pleas
ant aud safe pastime to put ON his war
paint aud abuse and bully Democrats in
the most offensive manner. But he
hardly will succeed, with all his buster
in convincing one single person that he
has not made corrupt bargain with the
Republicans
