THE LEGISLATIRE.
i mLorrow the popsr brapcbes
- State Legislature will, accs
Sdiio C stitotional povision, r
Semble in the Mechanics' Institute,
to deliberate on questions affecting
the most important interests of the
Commonwealth. In many respects
this session will be invested with an
interest, will attract a degree of at
tention, and its doings will receive a
scrutiny not equalled perhapsaince
ante-bellam times. The assembling
is therefore looked to with great so
licitude by lovers of right, of re
form of improvement. Fears are
s entertained by some that there will
be that lack of union and harmony
among the Republican members of
the Legislature, which will consid
erably obstruct, if not defeat the
adoption of the best remedial meas
ures which will come up. We do
not share these apprehensions be
cause, although there may be indi
cations of a general want of haitno
ny on minor topics, on account of
individual preferences and consider
ations, we fail to see any signs of
effective opposition to the uphold
ing and strengthening of our Re
publicen administration on the part
of the vast majority of both houses
of the Legislature.
Tide we remember the strenu
ous efforts which have been made
since the last adjouinment to heap
opprobrium on the Executive, it is
still fresh how vilely and how vio
lently some of the best, the most
prominent members of our party
have been abused and traduced,
under the sanctions of professedly
Republican men and newspapers,
equally with the most bitter Demo
cratic organs. The recollection is
still green that the efforts to defeat
certain men and measures at one
time threatened to disintegrate the
party. But that storm has passed,
and we feel confident that estimat
ing the malcontents at their outside
value, they are not sufficient to
threaten the success of any Repub
lican measure, either in or out of
the Legislature.
With this conviction we are about
to witness the gathering to-morrow.
Since their adjournment death has
stricken down the presiding officer
of the Senate, an extra session of
that body has tilled the vacancy
with one of its members.
The House of Representatives
will need to change its presiding of
dficer, an d in this initial performance
of the House will be evoked the,
power we have referred to above.'
There are s, veveral grave reasons which,
if we were arguing the case here
might be adduced for the disposi- I
tion of Mr. Carter. But we think
that we may safely sum them up in
that, he has Jfr'eited tIv' c,,fideno,
of the majority of the House. We
have specially dilated on this topic
in another column
Now, the acts which he may have,,
performed since his election, which
work this loas may be and are va
rious and differ in the degree of
their turpitude, according to the
knowledge of members, and the es
timate they place on them. But no
one who has been an observer of
t;he course of conduct pursued by
Speaker Carter, even as Speaker,
can hesitate to pronounce him un
worthy of the endorsement which
his retention would imply. And if
ithe House is not prepared to en
dorse him. It will remove him, and i
place a good unquestioned Republi-i
can in the chair. His "vested in-i
terest" is nonsense and unworthy of
consideration.
This act performed, the "neck"
of disorganization and mischief I
"broken," the misguided and ill
judging republicans will return to
the ranks of the party. In view
therefore of the significance of this I
first act, the conduct of the House i
will be important. Aftetr this, it
will enter on the discussion and
settlement of some of the vexed
questions which will come up. The,
annual message of the GovernorI
will doubtless be an elaborate and
comprehensive view of "the situa
tion" and contain suggestions for
changes and modifications of an'
important character. The wisdom
of oar Legislators will be severely
tested; but with a determination
to merge considerations of mere
policy, to subordinate the claims of
men, for measures, the abnegptionl
of self ; to consider th protection, c
security and prospusity of the
many, as paramount to theinterests I
dthe few, they will not. g stusy, and i
their omissions or mistakes will be d
attributed to an error in judgment,
and not deserving of denunciation.
Looking forward to a stern appre
ciationof what is needed, ani
unyielding determination to do right
we anmiouly biade ta morrow. I
-,PElAK! CARTER
a We wave no ears of the resit
Swhch ill attend the meeting of the
I- Hougaof DIm tatives to-mor
row, when the question of Speaker1
g will come up and be met. Mr. Car
e ter hat been on the stage for some
a time, but he has played his role out.
nI His stock company are the poorest
set that ever figured before the
a audience and in the subsequent
e editorial set, indulged in mea h Wi
g flings and personal epithets, such
Slow slang and disreputable boeesh
that the pit alone applauded, while
e the remainder were disgusted. He
11 had a chance to win distinction and
y achieve renown. He is not destitute of
>f ability though he applies it to low
- uses., He had a full opportunity to
e carry out those ideas of integrity
I with which he would have us believe
o he was brought up. But he took the
- opposite tack, like all zealots who
- turn from the right to the wrong;
- and exceeded the most extravagant
f ideas one could have of extravagance
and loose business. His plea of
,f reform is only a catch word. In
I- his case it is the toot of a tin trum
Spet. It deceives nobody. The
t hearers point significantly to the
s' record of his last administration as
a complete answer. The sincerity
- of a man may well be doubted in all
e things when he has played false
p onee, but where this has happened
Sa score of times, how ridiculous to
foist his pretensions again.
t Republicans might well ask what
r there is in Geo. W. Carter to con
stitute a guide. He has not the
virtue of consistency, while the taint
of southern indolence forbids him
to be self reliant. He is not inde
I pendent in thought, or bold in ac
tion. He apoligizes one minute, and
bullies the next. His record is
shameful for any man who calls
upon others for evidence of true
Republicanism. His affiliations are
Democratic, his antipathies-Radi
cal. Better that any Democrat
should occupy the chair he has dis
graced than himself. He is a syco
phant where he wants a favor, is
full of bravado where one is expect
!ed. He cannot forgive a rival.
Without generosity he would de
stroy his friend. With no grati
tude, he is not without policy, but'
like Andy Johnson his "policy" is
himself.
Speaker Cartcr cannot fill the
bill. He is 1,hyz:cally incompetent,
for he is deaf, morally incapable,
for he is vacillating ; and as he is
without princip!e, he stands upon
no ground but this personal aggran
dizement ; this shepherd must be
deposed and his crook broken. Un
der his aduinistration the flock
wandered. They trespassed on other
prese ves than their own. By his
direction the Treasury was a va
cuum. Under his instruction a host
of harpies were fed. Even now his
only hope of elevation consists in
those multitudes of bogus claims
I whereof he was the sire, and which,
when he is down, will not be worth
Sthe paper on which they were writ
ten. As an editor, he is a failure;
as a politician, he is without sense;
i as a man, without manhood. He is
i a representative of nothing, an ex
I ponent of no idea, and stands on no
I platform. Whatever of Republi
canism he pretends, is in the head, i
Iand not in the heart. A Fag to the
Customhouse, he would be a leader
in the Legislature; but what chance
has cast uppermost, method will
pull down.
WThe Mississippi WJeely Leader
boasts that every vote which Sena
I tor Alcorn has cast since his admis
sion to the United States Senate,
has been in concert with such men
as Trumbttil, Logan, Robertson,
Wilson and others whose Repub
licanism has never been doubted.
WThe recent estortionate de- I
mand of twenty dollars by a cityi

besides arousig the vigilance of
the police to see that they carried

" At IT AGAIN, ARE YE ?"
t Once more the fancied security of
the denizens of our planet has been
assailed and the second advent so
t ciety in Rochester has definitely
fixed the destruction of our world
_ for 1873. The nations of the earth
having, to the satisfaction of the
seers, arrived at the millenial period,
swords having been universally con
verted into runing hooks and spears
into plough-shares; and the orthodox
"signs of the times," being accom
plished there remains but the cre
mation of mundame things.
What a disappointment will this
sudden termination of things be to
most people. But what if this turn
out to be a-mistake? We have
seen such a thing before.
SUICIDE OR URDER ?
The city papers of yesterday con
tain information of the death of
.Judge Geo. P. Carr, on Friday last.
We copy the notice as printed, but
cannot avoid the suspicion that the
circumstances, as briefly detailed,
are as suggestive of assassination
in the car, and his leaping from it,
as they are that he cut his own,
throat and leaped in the water.,
Suspicion, however, appears to at
tach nowhere:

New Orleans at 7 o'clock this morning.
suicidedt by jumping from the train
ant cutting his throat, near Carter's
Hill, about five miles below here.
While the train was crossing the Tan
gipahos Rivei he was seen to jump
from the baggage car door into the
water. An alarm was instantly given,
but by the time the train had backed'
t, the bridge he had waded to the1
shore, but fell before any one could:
reach him. A large gash was found
on the right srde of his neck. He died
instantly after reaching the shore. h'o
knife could be found on his person br
in the vicinity. The Ibody was brought
to this place, and has since been iden
tified as that of Judge Geo. P. Carr,
parish judge of St. John the Baptist,
Louisiana. On his person was found
a fine gold watch and chain, 832 or
*33 in money, a voucher on St. John's
parish for two hundred and odd dol
lars, a package of circulars, and a
blank ticket for a grand ball of the i
Union League Club of New Orleans.
The body is now in charge of the
Mayor of this place.
i'Carter's paper hasan editorial
on "The One Term Principle." He
will find that is what the House be
lieves, as regards himself:
"In the case of General Grant,

country find the same reasons
which rallied the people to the sup- I
port of Jackson. A struggle more
tremendous than the world had

TIE WSILb WITIOCT NEWSPAPERS.
The newspaper is to current ru
mor, what history is to tradition.
It is life epitomized; talk abbreviat
ed; events dagnerreotyped in the
very act of happening; it is every
body and his wife dropping in to
tea or to breakfast and telling you
in good English all they have seen
and been doing, without disturbing
your quiet or household economy.
Begining with bulletins from courts
and dispatches from seats of war
or councils of state, the newspaper
has by insensible degrees enlarged
,f its function, until it covers with its
n insatiate tentacula the whole. field
of public and private transactions,
and what it does not tell, is not
l worth knowing. The Yankee is no
longer inquisitive; what he wants
to tnknow he can find out in his daily
paper. Take it away from him and
he would be a lost man. It is his
directory, his railroad guide, his
business or financial correspondent,
his familiar gossip, his message
from home. It is the Vanity Fair,
where you can find what you w;U
whether business or pleasure. " The
maid opens the damp sheet to glance
at the marriage column; the maiden
aunt at the obituatries; brother Tom
to scan the tally of the last "national I
game," and in this indispensable
ephemeran everybody's world is
represented.
The world without newspapers
would be at a sudden loss for its
ready-made ideas. Its wits would
go ragged, at least for a season.
The manufacture of public opinion,
of the different approved varieties,
has become an industry of enorm
ous proportions. The well-bred
and well-fed Englishman has no
opinion they say, on the latest
event, till he has read the London
"Times," and every man has his
printed oracle, which he consults
when too busy or too lazy to do his
own thinking. Dionysius and other ,
•monarchs used to keep a philoso
pher or two in the house to supply
them with ideas or keep their minds I
inmotion. Now asimilarluxury is
open to the poorest, who may se
cure for a trifle the daily or weekly
visit of a Mentor. Busy people
can't really have time to think of
everything as it happens, and they
love to have some kindred mind, of
the same sect or school, dish up the
news for them with appropriate
notes and comments, that may say
"Just what I think about it," as
very like it is, if they had time and
art to get at their own thoughtsj
and get it out into wordsa The
-writers for the London "Times" are
said to make its success not by at
tempting to shape, but simply to
express the thought on current
topieCs of the average Englishman.
The last leading editorial of a great
newspaper is at least a foil for
thought, and provocative of intel
lectual acti ity in all circles. In
Ithe discussions of ears and stages
Syou recognize the familiar voice of
I '"Times" or '"Tribune." The literary
and religious weeklies are echoed'
and reflected in large circles of ad
miring readers ; the sparks struck
out on their editorial anvils scin
tillate all over the land.
The world wifthout newspapers,
even if every duodecimo and quarto
--d folio was spared, would fall I
into a comparatively cimmerian •
darknesas. Knowledge is really not
published for the mases, until itt
gets out of books into the conve
nient and cheap and quickly read(
newspaper. Many a mind is started
upon inquiry and investigation by
some scrap of mcientiUS or curious
information which '"I ead in at
newu~pap." As it is msaid that the 1
New TI'etmnnt might almsdat be
reproduced from qgotations in the i
i to early lathers, so
a tir sepreumataions of mod
amd seiaee might be
ptI~d re up by exeoapl from news

burned the next. A good news

ting library.

A Lessen i Fricadship.
L There are few people who have en
tirely escaped the venom of slander
ous tongues, however worthy the
lives they have led or however con
scious they may be of having de
served well of the community ; but
our sympathies are foolishly ex
pended when lavished upon those
who are continually hearing all the
silly stories told about them.
As a general truth, we have all
the friendship and all the love we
deserve ; for we can not honestly
possess either of these unless we
win them. Look at the people who
are most fretted by slanders. Are
they not very poor in true friends,
and are they not very generally
prone to the very vice they so loud
ly deprecate in others ? The proof
that they lack dignity is in the fact
that they are easily approached by
any one bearing idle reports. The'
proof that they lack true friends is
that they hear the slanders that are
rife about them. Why, if A. comes
to you, and says, for example, "B
tells me that he thinks you are
eaten up with vanity," does this not
Ishow at once that B spoke because
he found in A a ready listener ? It
would seem that the simplest per
son might know so much as this of
human nature. People seldom car
ry their wares where there is no
market for them-never where they
are thrust back in their teeth.
We may, indeed, lay this down
as an unerring rule: Your true
friend does not hear the ill things
that others say of you; and if by
chance he has heard them, he never
repeats them to you. If you are a
person addicted to spreading scan
dals, you do not go to the mother
and tell her those you hear of her
daughter; at least, if she is a woman
of any culture or dignity. Neither
would you go to the loyal husbandI
and repeat what you had heard
derogatory to his wife's honor.
Some estimable people, seeing
the sad effects of slandering, pro
pose to discountenance all gossip
of whatever kind. But this is a
short-sighted proposition. "To set
a saw is not neceesaily tofile itsI
teeth alldown," and t have con-I
versation harmless it is not neces
sary to conflne it entirely to imper
sonal matters, nor to reduce the1
treatment of every personal question
to the dead level of inocuous com
monplace. There should be a gen
erous latitude accorded to all gen
eral conversation. This is natural
and proper. The best way, then,
is to speak of your absent friends
and neighbors as though by some
miracle they could hear all your
words. If you are then accused of1
saying this or that unkind thing,
though you may not remember all
that you did say, you have the e.c
perimen(,nt crtutci in your owI
heart, and may conAdently deny
that you said anything slanderous,
because that would be contrary to
the spirit you know had actuated
you.
The truth is, there is too lttle
human calculation in the world.-- 1
Why, puppies and kittens are not 1
anfrequently loved more loyally and i
tenderly than the creature we say is
madeinthe imageof God. Love1i
should be assiduously cltivated all
tlronugh the life of the young, asl
should friendship also, one of the1
divinesat forms of love. See how;4
we exalt friendship in poetry and,
romance L1ow o hbearts thrill with
admiration when we read in his
