The leading Republicans throughout
the State were almost without eNcep-

Gov. Hughes; why 40? Was L because
they are opposed to the alleged aigh

to recommend laws which would bear
the test of constitutionality, and would

WELL DONE.

The Legislature just adjourned has,
OF course, done some things that Il
should not have done, and has left
undons some things that it should
have done. It would not have been
composed OF men, fallible men, II this
was not the case. But on the whole,
its work win be prolific OF much good
and benefit TO the whole State, and
especially to this city and section. 1t
has done it's duty.
The Legislature only convenes in
general session once In every two
years. Then, under the Constitution,
Its session is limited to GO days,
which Is entirely too short for the
great work to be accomplished.
Virginia is a growing, progressive
and prosperous State, and the State
&c a unit, and its several parts, i'm
peratively demand legislation, which
demand cannot always be met in a
session every two years for only 60
days. The Legislature was, as a
whole, composed OF handwriting,
energetic, loyal yirginians, who SEEM
ed inspired to try to do all that was
possible for this great State. The
schools, colleges, asylums, roads and
the old Confederate soldiers have
been generously treated byit and for
this all our people rise mp and say,
well done.
The work OF the Legislature was
much hindered even in this short
time by two Investigations, which
consumed a long time, and thus
stood in the way OF other legislation.
However, no reasonable citizen has
any just ground for complaint
against It. The members assembled,
worked hard and well for the State,
and this city has especial cause for
thanks. for It stood well and nobly
by the old Burg. And just here it
may not be amiss to state that in a
former editorial about the Normal
school we made mention, with con-
CALCULATIONS, of several members who

an Increase in the number of fatal &C
