A FITTING CLOSE. .Our State Legislature, 'whose first act was the passage, in defiance of all legis lative precedent, of a resolution declariag the legality of a count of the Electoral vote by the President of Senate, closed on Friday: last with a similar exhibition of its utter disregard for all the forms of law- A special 'despatch says "The scenes . are .of a bachanalian Order -and doeuirents: are . ilsing about in'-interesting to • the member's heads. The, boys have determined^ to, make a night or it."! The particular bill under Consideration , at, the time; wile" the - one repealing the: 'present law, which Makes .4 . the duty of Sheriffs to . keep - the ; peace, at tbe-pOls, so far as the 'Same concerns, Counties which.

In_ summarizing the i doings of the, whole session, our :cotemporiiry at the Capitol, the. Patriot, charges that for the purpose of putting the , salary of a mem ber of tha gouse into the :pocket of a favorite partisan. they did. not hesitate to override the decision .of ; an able and reputable republican judge: and to disre- i gartt law, facts Nand the, demands of justice. But . the: lowest - depths of de -1 gradation were sounded when . they , abai: ed theinielves-akthe feet of their . master 'to lift, at :his bidditg, - the- - Crown a , political empire from his head to place it upon that of his son as the legiti mate heir of the republican . .regency- in Pennsylvania. To counterbalance these. things the record shows nothing what• ever. Instead of reducing taxation r the burdens of the people have ;increased. Instead of extending a friendly, hand to struggling corporations upon whose suc cessful operation ',.thouiands , depend for their daily bread, they' piled upon them the crushing load of.a tax on gross re ceipts. Instead of, less.ening the unex pended balances in the' treasury they have been careful 'to provide, - for the in crease of the sinking fund ,for-.the pur pose of enabling the prospective treasurer, who is to harmonize , thoroughly with the ring, to increase 'his deposits in favorite hinks. It was entirely appropriate and in perfect accord with the eternal fitness of things that such a . legislature should close its session' with bacchanalian orgies and in an uproar of , confOion and riot such, as-never were, witnessed outside :of. . Pandemonium. PBR OPHECIES. The Phil'a., Times has of late asEumed the role of Eooth-sayer. . and some of its predictions have proved .to be wonder fully near the truth. Here are its latest on the situation in Louisiana. "There are a very few plain facts, now well known even to the wayfaring men of the nation, which President Hayes should look squarely and honestly in - the face. They are: • , 1. 'That Senator' Stanley Matthews, Congressman Charles Foster, BecretarY Evarts and 'otheis aiding', with snore or : less dirednetio, Aistinctly pledded • the prompt removal of the troops from both Smith Carolina and Lonisiana by 'Presir dent Hayes.- 2. That pledge was given with - the knowledge and consent . of. President- Hayes; it was given to leading Sont'lern Deniocrats who held in their hands the power to hinder Mr. Hayes' election ; it was communicated to the pretending Governors Chamberlain and Packard by letters from Matthews and Evarts, and the inaugural addiess was franied to teach the nation its wisdom and neCessity., 3. The pledge thns given was a velan . - tarp pledge, and was proffered as the de liberate and settled purpOse and policy of the President. It was accepted with good faith, when there .were legal means for defeating the" frand that compassed- the ekction of Hayes,•and the whole country accepted'it, as the dawn of_ tranquility and protiperity. 1.. 4. If Ohamberlain 'is to' be. crowned with 'a foreign mission for his infamy, as now seettiaprobableo will be an'indefi i ; bleitain.upon the administration; and if Packard'sh4ll be temporized .with until *he bfiti: succeed is his undistiuised efforts to' prune hia State' into an archy, Presi-, dent Hapei will,be the author of 'the un speakable wrong. He has but to do right,' and the right will vindicate itself ; but .tie' honest with, the' honest 'men who acr * c'eited his plighted faith, and the nation will have. peace."
