Ignorance Of the laws excuses no one
from violating them. For that reason
all laws should be published in the
newspapers, at the states expense.
Why not do away with that abominable
farce-~the state militia, and score Of
those useless commissions, appropria-
tions, etc, and use portion Of that
money in advertising the laws-which

houses take the usual breathing spell
from next Saturday until the Monday
neon following, but eight and one-half
working days will be left TO dispose Of
the 600 bills on the calendar, and wind
/ up the senatorial squabble. The legis-
lature might continue in session longer,
but its pay would cease.
/ Some Of our exchanges give it as their
