Our Legislature.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Our legisla-
ture has recently adjourned. and while
we differed with some who entertained
views different from ours on some sub
iects. we'must give them credit Tor their
commendable decorum. We expected
considerate behavior from them and
were not disappointed. Western leg
islatures show a disposition to be more
ungovernable and boisterOus. The
scene enacted in the kansasflegisla-
ture was one not calculated to impress
our minds favorably with regard TO
the prudence or thouohtfulness of west
ern legislators. The excitement ran
so high one member in the minority
denounced the action of the presiding
officer as Il .'damnable disgrace" The
speaker became exceedingly angry
and said the party that was running
the House. must be sub omitted to
fright or wrong" Our venerated
fathers that opposed this wrong and
| contended for the fright held no such
doctrines. A wild scene of confusion
ensued, raging with a fury seldom seen
in deliberative body. "Unable to
restore order" the speaker, as furious
as the others, left the chair, saying ''he
would give up the chamber to the voice
of the mob The writer says "a gen.
eral riot became imminent, but finally
Speaker Elder resumed the chair, and
said he was ashamed of his conduct -
and well he might be. No such dis
reputable conduct should be shown by
the presiding officer of deliberative
body in this enlightened age. The
surgeant-at-arms and the doorkeepel
attempted to clear the Hobbies but
found pugnacious characters disposed
to resist their authority. Such exhibi,
tons of feeling in their legislative halls
may suit the Kansas people, but oul
people never hear of such scenes in the
capital Of this State. Our legislators
meet, and if they do not entertain
views we think the best calculated to
promote the best interests of the State
no riotous feelings are INDUCED by
them while assembled in the legislative
halls Their behavior is dignifed ant

JOURNALISTIC.

Another newspaper enterprise has
been undertaken in Henderson. The
Ege,y E0fHing, by Messrs. AyCock &
Jenkins, was launched Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. jenkins, the editor,
while quite a young man, is not
altogether without experience IN
the business, having published the
Graphic, first at Ridgeway and
then at Warrenton, which had the
distinction of being the smallest
newspaper printed in the State. Mr..
Aycock's services and achievements as
a journalist have not been varied or
extensive, as he can only lay claim to
having been one of the publishers of
Tie Daily, started mere short while
back, and which suspended with the
second issue, but that is more than
some folks can do. The GOLD LEAF
extends the most cordial and fraternal
greetings to the brethren and wishes
them all the success which their merits
and ambition enttle them to.

EVERY one in the South interested
in or knowing of the prop osed starting
of any new manufacturing or mining
enterprise, whether large or small, or
OF the extensions of factories or mines,
now IN operation, or the erection OF
large buildings, would benefit himself,
as we'll as the South generally, by send
ing particulars to the Man facturers'
Ref0rA of Baltimore. That paper has
for years made a business of reporting
every new manufacturing concern,
from a cotton gin to a furnace, every
new mining company, and every bank
started anywhere in the South. This
information is read by thousands OF
people all over the United States, and
is often republished by hundreds of
other papers that look to the Man.
yacturets' Record for information
about this section. The result is that
every new enterprise, and the town in
which it is located, are widely adver-
tlsed without cost, and great good
often retults. In this way the wants
OF Southern manufacturers who wish
to buy machinery are made public, and
catalogues OF all machinery in their
line, with prices, &c, are received, and
they are enabled to select the best ma
chinery at the lowest cost. The Man.
Jacturfrs' Record invites all informa-
ton of this character, and everybody
IN the South should take an interest
III seeing that that journal receives the
earliest notices that can possibly be
given OF such new enterprises, or of
the enlargement of those now in ope-
ration.

Professor Joseph Henry, Secretary

Professor Johnson, in his work on Nat

abundantly proved by actual experience
thousands of times.''
Sir W. Snow Harris, F. r. S, who in

application of pointed conductors, both on

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 These stories about the sale of the State street and Whitney avenue horse railroads to syndicate are all nonsense. I know
 whereof speak and have cognizance there of These roads have not been sold, and there are no negotiations pending for their purchase or sale. The whole thing is con- cocted for purposes best known to those who concoct it, and, as Lincoln used to say, is pleasant reading to those who are pleased by it. I see the Register reiterates it's former assertion, but the roads are not sold, nevertheless. ONE WHO KNOWS
