HIS BIT OF EMPIRE.

they are ignorant, rather than about
Its heart, which they possibly know
something of. A housewife whose

his thoughts into more homely chan

An Average
Legislature

present Legislature the Clarion
Ledger has been asked a number
Of foolish questions by men who
have not even deigned to look
upon it. and have exaggerated
Ideas about It's personnel, and
notions not at all complimentary
to the membership.
Some people assume to be-
lieve that this is tough"
Legislature; that it is made up of
men who will reflect no credit
upon Mississippi, and possibly
pass radical laws that will do
great harm; that it is a revolu-
tionary body and one likely to
go to extremes.
The editor of this paper has
had opportunities 20 look upon
and be around most OF the
Legislatures that have met IN
jackson for the last thirty five
or forty wears, has had occasion
to mix with and study men, and
cannot see that this Legislature
differs materially from It's prede-
cessors, There are certainly no
wild men in / and if any freaks
they have not as yet been dis
covered
The gentlemen composing the
Senate and House are not a bad
king set, but just the reverse.
They are we'll dressed, genteel
in manner. and courteous in de-
pertinent, and appear tC be as
intelligent as the average Legls-
lators. If they have any sinister
designs upon the State, they are
not manifest. If they intend to
scuttle the ship, they have their
plans we'll laid and properly
guarded, and are deceiving the
public in the most beautiful man.
ner
But says one, "This is Varda-
man Legislature, and nothing
can be expected of it; that it
came here to carry out the will of
one man, aod can be depended
upon to run rough shod over
law and precedent.
Well, when 1T came to electing
ufficers, where there was real
contest. the supporters of the ex-
Governor certainly did get the
best of the deal, as it was expec-
ted they would. Tney did just
what the opposition would have
done, if they had had the power,
cleaned up the platter and COB
gled everything in sight.
But 1t is nonsense to assume
that one man will dictate or di
rect the whole policy of the leg
islature. Then it must not Sc
forgotten thet another man, one
who has been hon s"ed as no 9th
er Goxernor has oeen honoree
in Mississippi, will come on the
scene on the 10th instan t., AND
the man who imagines that Ear
Brewer is going to be a figure
