The Attachment Law.

SHERMAN, Feb. 1l.--[Special. The
attachment law before the legislature
was pretty well canvassed to-day by the
attorneys. The new law was, after de-
liberation, condemned as being entirely
mpracticable.
II. o. Head was of the opiuion that IL
would favor foreign creditors to the ex-
clusion OF home creditors, as the home
creditors would be compelled to 20 into
the state courts, and the foreign cred

new law; nut II foreign creditors run the

in that court.

The layman is prone to inquire why
it is that the lawmakers both in Wash

neglectful of perfecting a bill when

ments, difference between the two
branches, etc, yet it does seem that the
nervous way they have of flying, like a
bee, from one legislative flower bill to
another, is not conducive of progress.
Every man of common sense knows the
proverb which directs the wise man to
unload his wagon before he takes on
more freight, and whilst the HERALD
knows this cannot be strictly followed
in matters of legislation, it seems that
much nearer confirmation to the sug-
gestion of the old saw, than now pre-
walls. might be had.

SEVERAL different bills are before the
respective houses of the legislature,
concerning the reform school so ear
nestly advocated by the HERALD, and
1t is to be hoped some one win be for
INFLATED, upon which all can agree.
Above all things, it is to be hoped that
differences of opinion as to details may
not result in its entire defeat. The state
expects bill establishing such an in
stitution, and If its jurisdiction could be
extended over some of the grown citi-
zens who are daily trying to break into
the penitentiary with an axe, it would
DO all the better. The reform school
bears the same relation to the peniten.
tiary that vaccination does to small

necessity of diminishing the fast in
