H REASON PLAIN.

A correspondent who signs himself OF
herself"N 1.'-and who commences his
e~ffusion thus: Deer Sur" wants to
know why the last legislature was not
good enough.
We beg to inform the gentleman who
is so highly accomplished in the art" of
orthography-so highly accomplished lin.
deed, that he has no peer in his apparent
recklessness of the use Of letters-that
the legislature was good enough.
There were many members who were
gentlemen-men of position, intelligence
and property. Those men went to Raj
eigh as representatives-in fact-went
because they felt, as they had a right to
feel, that they had been honored by their
neighbors and the people of their county
or district, and to them are we indebted
for what laws we've not passed which
would have been injurious to the state.
But there was again a very large ele-
ment in the legislature which did not
make asses of themselves for the only
reason that nature in her wonderful wis.
dom saved them the trouble of exertion.
They were stupidity ignorant and pos
sessed full sixteen ounces to the pound
of cold and clammy cheek. While to

AS 1T is DONE.

AS the world runs away it is pleasing
to note the charming progress we are
making, as a nation, in the matter of
morals. Last Sunday the big papers had
more about two burly prize fighters at
New Orleans than they had about the
church or COP.
And it is a fact that great newspapers
are obliged to pander to this appetite
that a column accoun of some bit of
brutal rowdyism is a thousand times
more readable than a column of solid
sense from GLADSTONE or a column SER
mon by the ablest divine in the whole
world.
And yet there is no help for this bust
ness. The papers must print the stuff
and so long as there are such things
allowed, just that long will there be ex-
element and the minds of youths be
debauched.
1t is a sad commentary on our civiliza-
ton, too. Louisiana, which so long
tolerated the infamous lottery, wants to
again introduce prize fighting as one of
her varied attractions-and Mississippi
painfully close by, already tolerates the
brutal sport" as it is called.
All such states should be purged-and
Decency should assert itself, even if
harsh measures were necessary. By sup.
pressing vice, crime is also suppressed.
1t is to be regretted that all prize fighters
are not knocked out by the law-without
gloves
