THE HEADLIGHT. JOHNJH. WAL8H, « Tire LJ2G I8L.ATU IIE. TIm late Legislatero hi* i, . done many good things and yet it has railed to do some good tilings which it might taro dono. But wo aro not to get all the good at one time, and the next Legisla ture can take up what the * last left off. . Among the wiso things it did not do, was its iffmsing to pass a law requiring all •chool taxes paid by the . white people to be paid to white schools, and the school taxes paid by the colored peo ple to be paid to the colored schools. We are glad this hill was defeated, because tho colored people are poor, aud need assistance, and since they have so quietly and pleasantly accepted tne ' re sults of the amendment, to the Constitution which ' de prives them of their fran chise, we should dhow our selves magnanimous, and treat them kindly, and help thorn to educate tlioir chil dren. Some think education hurts the negroes. Well, - this depends upon the kind -ofeducation they receive. It lias been truthfully said, “a little learning-is a dangerous thing”, and this is as truo as trite. But let us not give them a untB learning but much learning, which will odoeate the head, tho heart, •and the hand, and wo will make them a good people to to have, in their place, among us. Another good thing tho Leeistatnre did, was'to pro vide the moans for giving a term of four months to weak schools. Another good thing was to aid the public schools in es tablishing libraries, and wo await with great anxiety to see what school in Rich I . .JamuLnaupty will be the first <WVEl itself of this groat and grand privilege. One of its greatest failures, as we nnderstond.it, was the failure to establish the ten hoar law ina 11 factories in the State. We hare beou told that all oat Richmond fac tories favor such a law, j>ro widod it has State applies - iion. Such a law will, sooner or later,, be enacted. We like oar mill men, employers and employees, and wo would aooner rivet tho cords wluch bind them together, than cut ana link of the ehain -which - encircles them. We do not foor any trouble among our mill operatives. They like their employers, and will quietly submit to thoir dis appointment, hoping that (he next Legislature will hoar their humble petitions, voic ed by tho endorsement - of their employers, and thus strengthen and perpetuate the goad feeling which now . exists between them. The mill men of Riohmund coun ty ore of the beat In the world, * • and the operati ves aro of the 1iMtqu% of oitlsonahip. Especially would wa com mand the young ladies who work in those mills for their ted—try. thoir beauty and their virtue. The war la over now, and all’s well. The enactment of some local laws in various coun ties, has ereatod some diasot isfsetion, and while this may out have be— intended or atpeeled, yet such may have been the rasntt. A law, which in its application, re dounds to the banoft- of a few, and detriment to the many, is termed “class legis lation’’—a term extremely > odionatoe (Vaohorn, liberty loving people.
