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. g; icsiltUiral Exposition Rales Governing the Tournament TO TAKE PLACE AT The Darke County Dai”, the 8t/i day of December, 1882. let. 7 Inch Wooden Hoa4, supported by a peg. 3 inches exposed, on a post 0 foot 3 inches high to bo taken by the “Right Cut," to count [1] 2d.
