The rule est\blisl dby the members of our State Legisla e, whereby all matters of spe cial legislat . 11 are wholly, and regardless of consequences, yielded to the representatives of the locality intended to be affected by them, deserves the condemnation of every just and right minded man in the State. When the Legislature depute their Constitutional duties and prerogatives to one or two of their num ber, they necessarily deprive a portion of the people of the State of their rights, their priv ileges and protection, which the Constitution was intended to invest them with. Thus before any measure shall become a law, it must receive the assent of a majority of each house, and afterwards the approval or the executive, or be passed by a two-thirds vote over hie veto, or fail to be returned within ten days, with his approval or objections. Lehigh county, for instance, has two repre sentatives in the lower House, none in the up. per. In case legislation is asked for Lehigh, the question with the members of the Senate and 'House, under the rule of which we com plain, is not whether the desired legislation is just, and necessary, or otherwise, but whether the members from Lehigh want it. If they want it, the matter is settled, and the merits of the question are never discussed, and so the two members from Lehigh constitute the whole Legislature of the Sthte, as far as Lehigh county is concerned. As a general thing we are against special or local legislation, we look upon it as dangerous and pernicious, inasmuch as it will softer or later, entirely destroy all uniformity in our statutory law, and thereby weaken and event ually destroy the strength and dignity of the commonwealth. We admit that there may sometimes be occasion for special or local leg islation, but it should be but seldom. This evil has grown so extensive, that the principal work of the State Legislature consists in pass ing petty county, city, borough or ward laws. These little matters take up the time which should be devoted to better purpose. The principles involved in most of these local bills are of such a character that the Leg islature would not for a moment think of making them general, and hence their local application. If any one will take the time to examine the pamphlet laws he will learn to what nn extent this evil has been carried. Of the twelve hundred and sixty odd Acts passed by the Legislature of 1867, not one hundred are of a general character, while over eleven hundred are special and local, many of them unjust, and many more entirely unnecessary. One instance of local legislation, relating to Lehigh county, may serve to show the general character of this business. In 1868, an act was passed empowering the Supervisors of Saucon township, in Lehigh county, to collect one and a half cent from owners of iron ore mines, for every ton of iron ore hauled away from the mines over the pub lic roads, notwithstanding that the lands and ore mines of these owners had previously been separately assessed for' all purposes of taxation. So that now a man in that town ship who owns land upon which there happens to be ore, must in the first place pay township or road tax on his farm, then on the ore bed, and thirdly, he Must pay especially for the right of hauling away his ore. This act ap plies only to Saucon township, in Lehigh county, although there are other townships containing much more iron ore. The injus tice Of this net is so glaring.that it could not have passed, except under the odious rule-by which its merits could not or would not be brought in question. This whole subject needs attention, to the end that this odious rule may be speedily abolished: HE Reading Gazette, under the head of " The Roll of Honor," published the names f the members of the House of Representa ives all Democrats , — who voted against rticle XVth of the Constitution of the United States; and under the head of "Roll of Infit. my," publishes without capitals the names of the Republicans who voted Ilmr it, and what Is better, carried It. It adds " let them (the Republicans) be forever remembered with scorn and contempt by every white man in the old Keystone State." Well, let them. To what extent they will he thus remembered depends upon whom the Gazette is disposed to Include in the catalogue of white men. Heretofore everybody who did not support the Rebell - 111 .d the barbarity of Anderson 'nuked the massa cre of Fort I in any way aided the Govern ng itself against armed trete : Republican, and as this cies: kit, and this class only, will I Ivania HouSem of Representat mg to forever settle the question rbed our Govern ment since its formation, we suppose the Ga zette will have the satisfaction of seeing that little minority it is pleased to call "white men" vote against and " remember with scorn and contempt" the men who have been brave enough to do their duty to their country and to humanity. CONNECTICUT. The Republicans achieved a glorious victory In Connecticut. on Monday. The Governor with the entire State ticket is elected by 1000 majority, and the Legislature will be Repub lican In both branches by increased majorities. 'We gain two members of Congress, one in the Ist and the other in the lld District. The old Democratic card against negro suffrage was played persistently, and the result is plainly a hearty endorsement of Grant and negro suf frage, and all the measurceof the Republican party. Connecticut's representation In Con gress will stand as follows : Ist District, Julius S. Strong (Rep.) lld " Stephen W. Kellogg (Rep.) Ind " . 11. 11. Sturkweather (Rep.) Wth " IY. 11. Barnum (Opp.) THE Democracy is fighting under various flags. In this county', and a few other of their strongholds where there are no negroes, their curses upon negro suffrage are loud and deep. • Where the sable citizen predominates the Dem ocracy cats, sleeps and drinks with the African and doesn't leave him until he is converted to the belief that it is the Democracy which has done this thing. IN the Senate, on Saturday, Hon. Charles Sumner introduced a resolution to repeal the law prohibiting the importation of slaves.
