A dispatch to t-bo Macon Giaphic,
dated the 27th insL, says : The House
adopted a substitute to adjourn on De
cember 8th to eurBDer by a vote of 87
to 49. The Speaker ruled two-thirds
necessary. IndicationB are that thero
will be no adjournment.
This is right. The present Legislature
hqg not bad, an 1 is net likely to have
very much important business before
r, and this adjourning over to a summer
session every time defeats the law lim
iting the sessions to forty days. If
there was any necessity for these ad
journments and Miiamer sessions, then
no reasonable mac would complain;
but when there is not the slightest
reason for such action on the part of
our lau makers, and when Governor
Stephens oould and w >uld convene the
Legislature in a few days should such
necessity arise, the whole people have a
right to complain of such waste of the
pub ic funds.
The wave of nuv hi Is, both
general and local, continue to flood the
Legislature at each oall of counties, and
would not likely abate should the Leg
islature Bit without adjournment
throughout tho whole t<vo 3 r oars. Re
ally when one contemplates the vast
multitude of bills which m tubers of
the General Assembly ask to be marie
laws, he is ustoniehed at the unlimited
amount of ioirislation out good old
btate needs, and wonders how wo have
h. ert able to get along with the few laws
we uow have. But, do members of the
'Legislature either expect or desire all
this tomfoolery made laws and cumber
our statute books? Surely not; and
if not, are ibey not to blame for consmns
ing the time of the Legislature at such
a terrible cost to the people ? We are
of the opinion, that a;l the legitimate
business of the Legislature could be
accomplished in twenty days if our leg
islators would confine themselves to
that which was needed, and not badger
the work with all these nonsensical
bills and motions, simply to get their
names in the morning papers. Now,
we have a remedy to propose which if
adopted would effectually stop this wild
bunt after notoriety, and that remedy is,
that whenever a member presents a bill
for the action of the Legislature, and it
does uot become a law, the member
presenting it be made to pay for the
time he has caus- d to be lost in its
consideration. Ofcour-e, we know this
remedy or any other wil ever be adopt
ed, but it is safe to say that with it bills
would be few and far between, and our
poor cone allowed to rest.
JtW As the time for the election of
President of the Gentral Railroad ap
proaches, the friends of the two promi
nent gentlemen seeking that position.
Gen. E. P. Alexander and Col. Raoul,
eeui to be preparing to give their fa-
voiites a warm support. Wo are not
acquai ted with Co!. Raoul, neither do
we know his capacity for managing the
great interests of the Central Road, and
t herefore have not a word to say against
him. We, however, do known Gen.
ft lexauder, and believe him to be one of
the most accomplished railroad men of
the age, and capable of managing any
railroad intorfflt however vast. But a
few years ago he was made President of
th“ Georgia Road, when the stock in
that road was very low and btill declin
ing, and there was every prospect that
the road would go into the hands of a
rcoeiver in a short time. By his clear
comprehension of the affairs of the com.-,
pany and his progressive policy, he
raised the stock in the road to above
par in less than a year, expended liberal
sums for needed repairs, and paid a
handsome dividend besides. W’e do
not know the prospects of either candi
date, but would be glad to see Geneial
Alexander the chief officer of the Cen
tral Road.
