VIRGINIA LEGISLATURES.

~ The act to change the time of holding
the general elections in Virginia from the
fourth Thursday in April to the respective
Court-days in April, which passed the House
OF Delegates, Was rejected in the Senate on
the Sd instant, by tie vote.
The Committee Of Finance, in their report
to the house of Delegates, estimate the re-
ceipts during the current fiscal year at $751;
Ali 4l-which added to the balance in the
treasury on the lst of October, 1899, ST. 1876
50, makes $63i,9Os Sc. The expenditures
of the year, including interest on the public
debt, and the cost attending the re-assessment
OF the lands ofthe commonwealth, are estima-
ted at S775,472 39-leaving a balance against
the Treasury of$14O,664 O2, to supply which
an increase is proposed of about 25 per cent
on nearly all tho subjects of taxation.
Under the new assessment of the lands of
the Commonwealth, there is an increase of
about S26,000,0O0 in the value of lands west
of the Alleghany---a small increase in the
Valley-and diminution east of the Blue
Ridge of $4,000, OOO-malling total in
crease In the State of about six millions. So
that the increased burthen of taxes on lands
will fall on the west-which is set off by an
Increased tax on slaves in Eastern Virginia.
Anact has passed the House of Delegates,
authorizing Chapman Johnson, Esq. to con-
tract for four thousand copies of Virginia
Justice, at $3.50 per copy, for the use of ma
gistrates.
The Committee of Finance have reported
against the petition for the repeal of the IL
cense law, and the prohibition of the sale of
ardent spirits-which report was concurred
in by the House.
An act has passed the House appropri-
ating $4,000 for the erection of a Stewards
house at the military institute at Lexington,
and furnishing supply of water.
Augustus w. Chapman, the present dele
gate from Monroe, has been elected Brigadier
General of Militia, in the place of Gen. Hogo,
The House Of Delegates has adopted the
report of the committee on the subject Of the
controversy with New York, stripped Of its
Objectionable language. The purport of the
whole is that Virginia is right and New York
wrong, and another appeal is made to her
justice.
An act to incorporate the Society for the re-
lief ofthe widows and orphans of Clergymen
in Virginia, has passed the House of Dele
gates.
