eloping inaus-

The present Legislature is develo a talent for carefnl, cautious, aqd trious law making, which may result in great benefit to the State. Already fully one fourth of the bills introduced have been referred to their appropriate committees, and by them have been reported back. The actual work of session may therefore be expected to begin, in the latter fpart of the present week, as these bills are now in a condition to be called up for final action on the House, in which they. have originated^ The fate of the bill for the resubmission of the constitutional amendments to a popular vote will probably be settled this week by a vote in the Senate. The Democratic policy upon this subject is delay aed final vote will be postponed as long as possible *ith a view of rendering it impossible to have another election on the amendments until after the legislature has adjourned.. It is well-known enougn Democratic Senators are to vote in favor of the resubmission "Bill to insure its passage but thev do not want the amendments as offered by the people in time for any legislation under the amended constitution during this session. The bill now pending in the Senate, which has passed the House by mnch more than a party vote, proposes thnt the vote qf the people, and the amendments oh ail be taken on V/sahington's birthday, Feb. 22nd. If the passage of the bill can be delayed a little longer, thfe Democrats will argue that the election cannot be held until a later date, as there will not be time to make preparations. The Republican policy will therefore be to force a vote upon a bill at as early a date as possible.

The confirmation of Governor Gray's nominations of trustees for the benevolent institution has been ths great object of discussion among politicians sincej|Friday last. It is not to be denied that a good many Republicans have been disposed to blame both the Republican Senators and Governor Porter allowing.such confirmation to be coined through and many fitted statesmen are now saying what they would have done, had they been allowed to control the action of the party in such an emergency. It is not open to question that the Republican lesdership the Senate has been entirely devoid of sagacity and the mistake made in the first caucus, and the matter of nomination for officers

is likely to result to their disadvantage throughout the entire session. Perhaps even longer. But there is much 1ms reason for throwing blame upon Governor Porter. It is said he should have sent in another batch of nominations for these trusteeships, to take the place of those mbmlttedf by Gray, He could hardly have done this however, without advice from a patty nuchas to the men to be chosen ana no such caucus having been held, nor any thought given as to who should be the choice of the Republicans, It would scarcely seem the fair thing to blame the Governor for neglect of doty. It is net wise either to take it for granted that the trustees nominated by Gray, and confirmed by the Senate, must of necessity remain in office for their fuB term. There is in the act of the Democratic Legislature of 1879, under which these trustees have been named, a clause which gives the Governor power to remove for cause and it will not be difficult by means of the investigations which have already been adduced into U« Legislature of all the benevolent into establish excellent cause

upon which Governor- Porter can act after the Legislature has adjourned. Nor will this be merley for party advantage. If the allegations which are made against Mr. Fish back, and some of his co-truss-tees can be found—and it is almost certain that they can—it will be the duty of the Governor (a the interest of the SUte, and of the inmates of these institutions, that all of them shpald be removed from office. The progress of these investiga tions, especially as to the Insane asyluthi and the institution for the deaf and dumb will therefore be pushed with vigor atfd rich developments may be expected.
