End of the Session?Tho Good and Bad.
Wo nhall emu up, in duo time, the
good and bad results of tho long session
of the General Assembly, which comes
to an cud to-day. This morning, we
glance only at a point or two. Its extra?
ordinary length was owing, partly, to
tho fact that tho public officers were re?
miss and behind-hand in sending in
their reports. This, wo hope, will be
remedied in the future. Other lesB repu?
table causes co-operatud with tho one
named in making a four months' session.
Sevoral events, outside of legislation,
stand to tho credit Bide of tho Legisla?
ture. The el??tiOu of J uu|-h Xk?-cu VfHfi, i
first of"all; a triumph of the better ele?
ments of. the Republican party over the
worse, through the assistance of tho
'Conservative vote. It drew more olosely
the lines of distinction between the He
publicans who bub tain od the administra?
tion and those who sought the opportu?
nity to fight againBt it. The distrust of
each other in these two wings culmi?
nated at the next election, and Judge
Shaw was chosen by tho combined influ?
ence of Conservatives and Republicans
against a candidate who was acceptable
to the administration. In casting their
?votes for Col. Heed for Judge, tho Con?
servatives chose what they regarded as
the less of the two evils presented to
them, and. gave a mark of appreciation
.of the efforts of the Governor to give
them good government. In joining tho
Conservatives to elect Major Shaw Judge,
tho Radical disaffected element of tho
Republican party merely expressed their
repugnanoe to tho other.. His election
was, therefore, partly accidental. The
'.latest election held?that for Comp?
troller?shows a still greater advance,
and men of all parties and shades of
parties cordially united, and upon a dif?
ferent principle, in support of Col.
Dunn. Thus wo Be3 party and race
lines growing dimmer and dimmer.
Our colored friends now exercise the
privilege of uniting their suffrages with
the white voters upon considerations
which ore higher and better than party
and race.
The elections have been more judicious
than the legislation. Several measures
of a creditable character have, however
been adopted. Some Acta or parts of
Acts of a hurtful nature have been re?
pealed, and amongst these, the Acts to
establish official newspapers; to require
insurance companies doing business in
the State to make deposit in the State
Treasury, and perhaps others. The un?
willingness to pass the Forfeited Lands
Commission Act, and the Act to provide
for the payment of certain claims (tho
bonanza) over the Exeoutivo veto, are to
be put to this side of the account They
are temptations resisted. We shall, no
doubt, find others of this sort when we
?come to gather up the results of the ses?
sion. It is, indeed, as high a reach of
virtue as wo are permitted to chroniole
of this body. This Ression of the Gene
eral Assembly will bo remembered not
for its positive legislative merits, nor for
its conspicuons vices. It has been
sorely tried in exercising self-denial, and
in escaping the snares which were spread
for its feet The robbers were thero, not
as bold and shameless as in former days,
except in a few instances, but masking
their spoliations under some honied
name or deceitful device. Tho average
legislator, in resisting them, bad the ad?
vantage of having alongside of him the
example and intelligence of a few men
who could not bo deceived, bribed or
bullied. Ho caught something of tho
spirit which animated thorn, as we have
seen in the elections mentioned, and
also in coming to his conclusions and
taking his stand upon measures of legis?
lation. He has learnt that jobs are disre?
putable, that there are better things than
trickery, bribery and being led into
temptation. He has learnt to think, and
is growing in the power of being nblo to
think and act for himself. Ho aspires
to a higher piano of political and per?
sonal conduct The oharaoteristio,
which we have faintly nketched, is more
plainly to be discerned in the House
than in the Senate, The habit of cor?
ruption, of judging everything by its
bearing upon the fortunes of the mem?
bers, of getting up Bohemes to manipu?
late in their own interests, if deep-seated
in that branch of the General Assembly.
The changes which have swept over tho
country have produced no perceptible
effect upon it But little reform earl enter
those portals. The Senate is a close
corporation. It considers office its pri?
vate right, and it is resolved to snslce the
most of it and to gather hay while the
sun shines. It was engaged, yesterday,
in adding to the general tax bill certain
mill?!?making in all 13}?in order to
hotter iho chances and increase the value
of a .lot of bogus claims. It was also
considorihg a report from tho Committee
of Claims, urging tho payment of many
a raacally and fraudulent one. In this
work, a hatch of the Senators were more
? deeply interested than in the most im?
portant questions of the day. They
aoorned the vofoo which cam o from the
other side;- pleading; for justiqo, honesijr;
anil1 fair floating towards the State.
The friends of good government, of eco?
nomical administration, of moderate
taxes, of honest disbursements, of real
progress and improvement in the coun?
try, must look hereafter more closely to
the Senate. There has not been any?
thing like the gain thero, in good and
useful elements, as in tho House. Thero
arc several men in it who ought to bo
elected to stay at home out of harm's
way,
-.-????-??
The Flood of Claims.
Just a year ago, in tho expiring hours
of tho Sonnte, a Wholo lot of villainous
claims were passed, to pay which taxes
now havo to be levied upon the people.
Yesterday, it was engaged in the same
sort of work. $50,000 of the people's
money were voted away with tho most
reckless -unconcern. This claim busi?
ness has suooeeded to the lavish pay cer?
tificate business, and is almost as danger?
ous and ruinous an evil as it was. If it
goes on, what is to prevent the legalizing
of millions by simple resolution of the
Legislature? The safeguard of the Go?
vernor's veto cannot arrest them. No?
thing that is now devised can stop them.
Wo are pleased to notice that Mr. Coch
ran, Senator from Anderson, has invented
a check, in the shape of a bill which pro?
vides for the manner of passing claims
against the State by tho General Assem?
bly. It requires that they shall bo sub?
mitted in .the form of bills, and be
considered in the regular manner of
bills, as prescribed in tho Constitution.
On their passago, tho. vouchers and
papers connected with tho claims, shall
bo filed with tho Comptroller or tho
Clerks of the two Housos, and on the
presentation of his or their receipt, tho
presiding officers of both branches of the
General Assembly shall issue a joint cer?
tificate for the claims, to be attested by
tho Clerks of tho two Houses. This cer?
tificate shall set forth tho amount, nature
and date of the allowance of such claims.
This is an excellent and a necessary bill.
It will afford a check upon what is an
outrage and a nuisance, and tend to pre?
vent on evil which threatens to swamp
tho country, just as tho reckless pay cer?
tificate system did.
Tho General Assembly has bonn in
session since the 24th of November, 1871
?122 days. Early in its history, it fixed
the pay of tho members at $600 the ses?
sion. Great was tho struggle and deep
tho study necessary to get round tho
Constitution, which provides for n per
diem payment, in order to make tho sum
respectable. We beard Senators and
Representatives argue that, after all, it
was beneath tho value of their services,
which were worth in their viow $000 or
$1,000. Now wo have como to the close,
and we understand that in cortain quar?
tern tho regret is poignant that they did
not adhere to the Constitution and muko
the pay $6 a day. Yon seo, 122 days, at
$G a day, would make tho amount $732
for each member. Having fixed the pay
at $f>00, thero is a clear loss of $1:12
apiece. Another source of disappoint?
ment has been in the unkindness of fate
in not enabling the General Assembly to
indulge in the luxury of an extra sos
sion. The legislative forecast was shown
in fixing the pay of an oxpected extro
session at the same amount as for the
regular session. The next thing in order
was to adjourn before passing the nppro- |
priation bill, and throw upon the Go?
vernor tho duty of calling thorn together
again to pass it. Tho Governor made no
sign. In fact, it got abroad that ho
would not interfere with tho agricultural
and other labors in which tho members
might become engaged. Ho would not
conveno them in extra session to pass
the appropriation or any other bill. So
the scheme of an extra session and extra
salary fuded away, and now has come the
end, and tho sad consciousness that S1I12
has been as good as thrown away. Ah,
me! what losses do environ the men who
devote themselves to tho service of their
country I

What is a Bonanza??Perhaps not all
of our readers know the meaniilg of tho
word bonanza. Literally, says the New
Orleans Picayune, it is a "boon" or "free
gift" Spanish America conferred the
word upon us, and Nevada accepts tho
"free gilt," as illustrative of the treasures
of silver with which her mountains
abound. When a vain of remarkably rich
ore is found in unexpected places, not
in the predicted direction in which well
conducted ore ought to run, but diago?
nally through sovoral mines, this is called
a bonanza. It comes as a boon, and
a boon it is named in the sonorous sylla?
bles of the Castilian tongue.

Home Rule.?In the dohato in tho
House of Commons, on the 24th, on the
bill for the adoption of tho Peace Pre?
servation Act, the Home Rulers opposing
the bill contrasted the prevalence of
crime in England with tho neaoefnlnoss
of Ireland. Sir Edward Walker retorted
that the English people do not woloorne
American conspirators among them, but
are conspicuous for their loyalty and
law-abiding disposition. He said if tho
Irish would renounce the leadership of
stump crstcrs r.nd adopt industry in
phide of political agitators, the necessity
for exceptional legislation would cease.
Mr. D'lsraoli pointed out tho concessions
contained in tho bill, and appealed to
the patriotism' of the Irish members,
asking them not to; agitate tho country
by an opposition to the bill that must be
futile* At the conclusion of tho donate

Th? New York Herald, of yesterday,
contained n striking letter from John
Milchet, which was received on the very
day after the announcement of his doath.
which put a sudden end to the plans h?"

second election, he says: "If returned,
I will not go to Parliament, and never in?
tended to do so. because I bavo never
seen what benefit Tippemry or any other
County has ever derived from being rop- j
resented in that Parliament.*' Further-]
more, he would not contest the scat if re?
ferred to the Court of Common Pleas.
What, then, was to be gained? This he
explains in a characteristic paragraph.
"Tippemry," he says, "will stand vir?
tually disfranchised, besides being greatly
exasperated by the outrages iluug upon
that fine people. Next I mean to turn
my attention to soiuo other County, and
to get that disfranchised, and ro on to a

to show the Irish people the way in which
they may gradually shako off the op

A late report of the Anglo-American

Jarticulurs in relation to tho famine in

wandered away in search of food, and

A Train oe Evils. ?If weakness of- the
stomach is allowed to become chronic,
tho following evils supervene: Digestion
is permanently impaired, tho system is
very imperfectly nourished, the blood
becomes thin and watery, and' the bile
being nnomployed for digestive and ova
cuative purposes, enters tho circulation
through the thoratic duct, and injects
itself into the superficial vessels, giving
to the skin and whites of the eyes the
saffron tinge indicative of biUioushess.
Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in
tho side, palpitations, heartburn, dizzi?
ness and many other harrassing symp?
toms which accompany the internal de?
rangement above described, whioh, if un?
checked, is as sure to bo followed 'by
serious disease, as the rising of the gun
by its sotting. It is manifest, therefore,
that an inability of the stomach to act
upon tho food should be overcome with?
out delay. The invigorating influence
upon that organ of Hostetters Stomach
Hitters is speedily felt in the disappear?
ance of all the disagreeable symptoms al?
luded to. The prescribed mineral reme?
dies for general debility usually fail to
achieve any lasting result, because they
do not invigorate the stomach; Hoe tet?
ter's Bitters always succeed because' that
is their primal effect. The very fact that
they are such on excellent stomachic con?
stitutes them one of the best general
Ionics in existence. To restore digestion
is the final Btep towards the recovery, of
health, when impaired by - any of the
multifarious complaints which spring
from dyspepsia, and that step -will , ho
found to havo boon taken by the, invalid
who has availed himself of this famous
anti-dyspeptic remedy. M19f3tl
