Tbe Adjourned Legislature.
For jears si ttie adjournment of
the Legislature his been a fruitful sub
ject for criticism. T e adjournment of
tbe late Legislature bos, as a matter of
course, coiue in fur its fUil share.
Nanj criticise understandinglv ; others
criticise because1 tliej are desirous to
aay notuethiiiL', though it be nothing ;
a number condemn for political pur
pose, and a few sneak of the merits
and demerits, in the interest of reform.
The critics themselves know best to
which class thej belong. The follow
ing is what the Pittsburgh Gazette savs
of the late Legislature :
Tbe session of tbe Legislature, just
closed, illustrated, in several particu
lars, the strength and weekness of the
new Constitution. The spirit of the
olden time was more or 1jss prevalent,
vtt about one fourth the number of
bills were introduced as la former ses
sions, and a proportioned number of
those iutroduced were passsd. It was
pretty clearly shown that the require
ment for general laws did not prevent
what was practically social legislation.
Yet their were many schemes that pas
sed, notwithstanding. For example,
the cities of th State were divided
into classes. Of the first class there is
but a single city, Philadelphia.
Pittsburg" comes in as the second city
of the State. Their several third
eities but these received coaiparative
ly little attention. Hence, legislation
that applied to cities of the first and
second class, was really so much spe
cial legislation for Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. In the former city the
Board of Revision was authorized to
appoint additional assessors; the city
authorities were autbcriied to reorgan
ize any departments of the city ; a spe
cial loan of some sir millious was le
galized. In fact, all the legislation
desired was reached in this manner.
So of Pittsburg. Tbe bill increasing
the power of the Mayor, regulatiug the
administration of the city, and other
matters, was distinctly arranged with
a view to the particular city involved.
We are decidedly of the opinion that
some of the legislation of the past
Winter will be repealed at the next
session of the Legislature; and some
bills as tbe judicial salary bill, which
righteously failed, will be passed in
a more liberal form next Winter.
Thus a loophole has been found in tbe
new Constitution as regards spetial
legislation, and great firmness mu?t be
shown next Winter, if this evil does
not develop itself in great force.
But the tide of evil legislation was
very completely checked by the regt
latioo requiring bills to be fully read,
and printed and laid on the members'
desks. Also, requiring every amend
ment or change fo be printed, even
those made in committees of conference.
Thus the passage of bills by their titles
and in total ignorance of their actual
contents or merits, is prevented. This
has been a decide 1 check to vicious
legislation, and canuot fail to work
well in the future. It is this, more
than else, that has prevented wrong
legislation, and thus is to be credited
with the m gative benefits of the session
just closed.
The next session- of tb Legislature
will be charged with high important
duties. It must, of necessity, complete
tbe work of the recent Legislature, by
giving full effect to tbe new Constitu
tion. We are desirous that candidates
shall be able men, capable of grasping
the spirit and purpose of our funda
mental law, and ready to give it effect
ty wise, conservative legislation. We
mean no reflection on the delegation in
the Legislature just closed, but it must
be evident that there will be a larger
responsabilify devolvti on the body to
be chosen this Fall, in that it will be
elected under the new Constitution,
and expected to properly develope that
instrument by wise legislation.
"The marriage of Nellie Grant is
well certified to as may be learned
from the following. The certificate of
the ruaniage of Nellie Grant is engros
sed upon parchment, in connection with
five other documents. On upper left
Land corner of tbe sheet is a copy ol
the license, written in a plain bold
Land, and empowers any minister of the
gospel to marry Algernon Sartoris to
Nellie Grant, lielow this is the cler
gyman's certificate that he has married
them. On the upper right hand corner
the clerk of the court certifies that be
gave the licence. Below this the judge
of the conrt identifies the clerk. Still
lower the Chief Justice identifies the
judge, and last, the Secretary of the
State certifies to tbe existence and of
ficial character of the Chief Justice.
Thus in ail, there are not less than six
certificates engrossed upon the sheet.
This document was rendeaed necessary
by the law of primogeniture of England
and will be depoitcd in the court in the
parish in which the happy couple re
side. 1 bey bad determined to live in
this country, but the death of Sartoris'
elder brother, and the consequent en
tailment of a large property, renders his
presence across tbe water necessary."
