BECOMING RESTLESS.
The House of Delegates is becoming rest
less. The session is drawing TO a close. I'm
closing IL is recognized that mastery IN
activity" has characterized the action-li
such "a term is pardOnabe-Of the kepubll-
cans. The Democrats swing their broad
axe of Justice with perfect indifference TO all
enemies, and with an eye single TO justice.
But there are few foemen for Democratic
steel. Some of the bills introduced are provo
catiye Of indifference, and have received
nothing but ridicule. Others have been OF
serious local effect. and have caused real
effort: but the fact remains that the Assem-
bly, is about 10 shake from its person The
identity Of being and life, and the result
comes out naturally that in death some OF
the members desire TO sing their sweetest
songs. The action of the House yesterday
showed this very plainly, and the effort TO
De- foremost Ia the good work OF Democracy,
whether ill-timed or not, indicated the true
feeling that actuates Democracy
EXTRA WORK.
