Wednesday, February 28. IS>00 ? TBP WORK OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Tbe newspapers hsve spok-n favorably of the last legislature, and we think jasilf *o. We do not remember to bare seen anything in the debates oven m<*ntiotiing fuciionil line*, and all tbe proceedings seem to hare been conducted in the b?st of feeding and tebaper. t It is certainly very gratifying to note ibatlhe day has come again when legislation can be calmly discassad and considered, and not con damned or approved merely o?caa?tj it may be opposed or approved by certain men. With this feeing, thereion*, it ia not surprising that the work of the General Assemblv*ja?t ended is not radical and on the whole is ?v - l very good. Even tbe dispensary did not arouse bitter partisan anger and ' excitement, and this fact should encoarage those who desire tbe best interests of tbe State promoted that tbe people are now ready and willing to listen to reason. ? . * * r. One of tbe most noticeable things reflected in the (proceedings of tbe legislature is that, whether real or net; there is a general feeling that the State is more prosperous now than for a long time. if ? * m < Catching up the spirit of progress is the industrial world, the legislature showed an appreciation of the importance of advancing, correspondingly in education. Tne State colleges received nearly all (bat tbey asked for, and tbe Hou-e, perhaps quicker than the conservative Senate to respond to public sentiment, voted to appropriate $100,000 to the public schools of the State. The $100,000 appropriation to the conaaou public schools wa3 lejected by tbe Senate, but it should be '?--- * i . , stated tnai strong cousin uuuuai grounds were urged in that bod? agaiust makiDg the appropriation, and nothing appears to show tbat that J|' body wai at all u-ifriendly to the appropriation for any other reason. 3?^^ * * * ; The wisdom of the inhibition of the constitution against local and special laws appears in ;tbe work of the i7} , General Assembly ja-.t &.?i?hed. It used to be that "Swamp Hollow" 4L-- * wanted and got a particular law, and "Rabbit Hollow" or buzzard's Hole" or some other little community wanted , and got another^' . frr - ^^^he^cTrf^niig the registration of births, marriages and deaths, if properly enforced, will prove valuable. > ; Ifitiswhat we conceive it to be, it -& , will assist wonderfully in the ezamination and tracing of titles." As it it now, these f*ct* ofteu have to be obtained on?side of records and sometimes c*n not be obtained at all. It witl maze it pessiDie 10 ascertain me heirs at law of a deceased person trom ' publiq, and official record?. This is | oniv one of the values of the law. . . . * - ' Among the acts amending the' statote law of tbe State is the law requiring clerks of court to satisfy in the record a mortgage which has been foreclosed. As we nnderstand it this menjly facilitates the work of search zs; tor liens?on property. * * * ? The General Assembly did ail the Confederate veterans a?ked of it. The dovt Pension Act is really the work of a committee of veterans The appropriation for a m >ounnent at Cbickamau?a was made as petitioned by the p-p Confederate veterans ? f?".

PCBRTO KICA* TARIFF. : "When we read the debate* in Con fress on the Paerto Ricac Tariff, we IV feel the truth of the assertion of the London Spectator that this government as now constituted is completely iu the hands of the great financier and / trust companies. And we further feei that when the confederacy went down the constitution went down with it. Tha: instrument bag simply been made Ian elastic instrument to ttretch and eoitr&ct to suit the poctets of the millionaire.
