made to transact the public business of the
State. From the first day of the meeting
until now, there has been no attempt on the
part Of the Democratic majority to legislate
for the public, or TO put in shape and press to
passage needful and appropriate measures for
the public good. On the contrary, every day
has been exhausted in the perfection Of the
most infamous partisan legislation, while the
last week has been Systematically and delib
erately thrown away. From this record and
from these facts the Legislature cannot es-
cape The people of Indiana, who remember
the last General Assembly with scorn and in
dignation, will feel added contempt for the
imbecilty and infamy of party which has
given them another Legislature that so far
outstrips the last as to almost render that re-
spectacle by comparison. The members who
contributed, by their action during the last
few days to the wanton waste of precious time
whatever the excuse Or the pretense, we can
but feel Inexperienced the demand Of the
public duty with which they were charged,
and will be held accountable by their constit-
uents for whatever useless expense or possible
evil may flow from the continued presence of
Legislature that is a stencil in the nostrils
of the public.

LEAF by leaf the roses fall, and one by one
the late independents show signs of wishing
to sneak back into the Republican camp.
The Boston Advertiser, formerly Republican,
more recently mugwump, expresses gratiica-
ton that Senator Edmunds resumes his place
as leader of the Republican majority of the
Senate and is Of the opinion that the removal
of Bayard, Lamar and Garland leaves the
Democratic minority like rudderless ship.
The Advertiser says further: "Such facts as
these, and the knowledge of the augmented
strength of the Republican side of the Senate,
afford highly satisfactory assurances of the
inability of the Democratic House to do more
than negative mischief" For a paper which
worked for a Democratic President, this may
be considered as remarkable comment. 1t
may be that the force of many years habit in
advertently compels the utterance of Repub
lcan sentiments, but it looks rather as il the
stately Advertiser were ashamed of its recent

Of quacks, each imbued with the idea that he
