they set aside last year's act limiting the
number of House employees, by resolution
adding twenty-seven additional, this proposi
tion will be looked upon with suspicion—
especially since, after a lengthy discussion,
(in the course of which one of your members,
Mr. Peters, in a few remarks, favored the
project) it was referred to a select committee of
three. I have very serious doubts of its pas
sage, but, inasmuch as the public will be glad
to see that there are at least some faint signs
of returning reason on the part of their law
makers, I give it for what it is worth.
Mr. Foy's resolution to inquire into the
alleged extortionate charges by certain news
papers for advertising the overdue loan of the
State, was referred to the same committee.
It consists of Messrs: Duncan, Strang and
Nelson.
State Rights and " Nigger" still agitate the
minds of our copperhead friends. Senator
Wallace is opposed to Congress granting
privileges to railroad corporations to con
struct railroads through the State, while lir.
Searight, from Fayette county, wants the
Legislature to instruct our Senators and re
quest our Representatives iu Congress to
oppose any measure looking to negro suffrage
in the States. The former is intended for a
special purpose daubtless—to head .08' the
proposed air-line route .from. Washington to
New York, and even if concurred in by the
Legislatata r h litaint-thos-latter
was introduced a; too,late a day to command
much attention. In fact it is a dead issue—a
bitter dose for the apposition, but **lest
swallow it. Their wry faces won't delaylibe
matter any. Therhad better make a virtue
of necessity, sad submit as grecafnlly as pos
sible to the stern logic of events.
There is quite a large attendance at the
Editorial Convention, now in session in the
hall of the House. A resolution recommend
ing to the Legislature the passage of an
amendment to the libel law—allowing the
truth to be given in evidence—was discussed
. and postponed till this evening. A
debate sprang up on the propottitiot to urge
the passage of a law requiring the general and
local laws to be published in the twolpillers
in each county of opposite political +sews,
and having the largest circulation. It was
voted down. Democratic members, with a
few exceptions, favored this planto deplete ,
the treasury. How hungry they ant getting !
At present writing. the convention is discus
sing the propriety of adopting a is sale
of prices for advertising. Of course,' it will
end in talk. The thing Is impracticable. In
fact nothing practiced has resulted from their
deliberations thus far.

The Retrenchment and Reform Comm,glee
are receiving letters of encouragement . and
advice from some of the most intelligent,and
upright men of all parts to( the State. At a
late t.e,sion of the Committee, it was agreed
upon to address the following interrogatories
to the Heads of the General Departments,
which has been done, sad a number have al
ready responded : "The mambas Of em
ployees in your department; the character of
their employment ; their salaries ; the neces
sity that exists for thlilll ; and whether any
reduction in forces or expenses can be made?"
Their answers, of course, will not deter the
committee from further investigation. They
have also procured, from the State Treasurer
a complete list oc last year's legislative em
ployees, and the amouat each received for his
services. It will thus be seen that the Com
mittee are at work, and notwithstanding they
are frequently stigmatized bete with the epi
