REPORT OF THE MINORITY OF THE COMMITTEE
on PRIVILEGES AND ELEcTIoNs.-Tothe exclusion
of much other matter we publish, in to-day's pa.
per, the report of the minority of the committee
on Privileges and Elections, in relation to the con.
tested election case from Wayne county. The
contest has elected much attention, and some ex.
element, in the Legislature and elsewhere, and
we embrace the earliest racticabe momentto lay
before our readers, in tangible form, the history
of the contest leaving them to form their own
opinions of its merits.
WILL THEY GRANT THEIR REQUESTl
TAX ON BANKs.--The Board of Control of the
Ohio Banks have petitioned the Legislature to
have the capital of the several banks in this State
placed upon the grand levy, and taxed as other
property is, under the provisions of the ''act for
Ievylng taxes upon all property in this State &C
cording to its true value" The reason aledged
for making this request is, that by the present
mode-taxing banks upon their dyidends-those
institutions are required to pay more than their
just proportion Of taxation; that bank capital has
to pay more taxes, proportion to its value, than
any other species of properly, and that in order
TO impose an equal burlhen upon every class OF
citizens, banks oughttobe taxed as other property.
Where now shall we find those lovers of JUS
tlce that Whllom met us at every corner, and har-
angued the ''dear people, at every cross-road!
They are completely "headed" d"--their eloquence
gone for aiT-the banks themselves, those "aris-
tocratic institutions" "pampered by Wing egis-
latlon" until they became towering "monopolies, ="
have sienced the clamor that they were exempt
from taxation by asking thatthey be taxed as 9TH
er property. Will their request be granted!-
Come, gentlemen, show your hand; speak out
boldly-or "lorever hold your peace"

PREsIDENT's MESSAGE BY TELEGRAPH.-The
Journal and Courier of Louisville have COM
b;ned to carry into effect one of the grandest
enterprises ever attempted by the newspaper
press, the telegraphing of the Presidents Mes
sage, word for word as delivered. Nothing of
the kind has ever been attempted heretofore,
andif no accident happens the wires, the Mes
sage will be scattered all over the country by
Wednesday at least. Knowing the great ankle
ty of all classes of readers to be in possession of
the document at the earliest moment, we have
made such arrangements in our Office as to be
able to issue it in. four hours from the time we
receive copy. We shall be prepared with
full cases, and ten hands, we think will be able
to get it out in the time we have mentioned.
Speaking Of the arrangement, the Courier of
Thursday says:
The Congress Of the United States meets at
Washington City on Monday next, and if no
difficulty is experienced in the organization OF
the House, the Message of the President will be
delivered at noon on Tuesday. Knowing the
anxiety of the public 10 be put in possession OF
this important document at the earliest possible
moment, we have, in conjunction with our
neighbors of the Journal, just perfected one oil
the most magnificent enterprises ever attempt
ed by the newspaper press We have made ar
engagements at an enormous expense, to re-
ceive the entire message, word for word as de-
! livered, BY THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH!
Our distant readers may form some idea of the
extent of this grand scheme when we inform
them that it will require the. incessant labor
for sixteen or eighteen hours, of the most skill
ful operators, to telegraph it through; and that
the regular charge for telegraphing is eight
cents for eUery 'oord from Philadelphia to Louis
uilIe. Nothing will prevent the full accom-
plishment OF this wonderful enterprise. but the
breaking of the wires, damage to the line orbad
weather.

HoNEYMooN.-The origin of this word, says
the New Orleans Delta, is so little known, and
yet so highly interesting, that we are constrain-
ed to give an account it, 1t is traceable to
a Teutonic origin. Among the Teutones was
favorite drink called methegliH. 1t was made
of honey, and much like the present mead of
the same name in European countries. The
same beverage was in use among the Saxons,
as well as another called morat, which was al
so made of honey, but favored with mulber-
ries. The honeyed drinks were used in great
abundance at festivals. Among the nobility
the marriage was celebrated a whole lunar
month, which was calleda moon, during which
the festival board was we'll supplied with the
honey drink. Hence this month. of festival
was called the honah moon, or honey moon,
which means month offestival, The famous
Alaric is said to have died ON his wedding
night, from the effects of too much indulgence
in metheglin.

place, although not SO destructive as was first
reported, is still heavy for the sizeof the town.
We are indebted to friend for the privilege
of perusing letter written by a gentleman of
that place. 1t states that the following hous-
es were consumed; the drug store of Messrs.
Sidall & Co., a barber shop, the dwelling and
store Of Mr.. Demming, J. v. Horns saddler
shop, and Jackson's drug store. The wind was
blowing strong at the time, and the progress of
the flames were arrested, and the adjoining
houses were saved with the greatest difficulty.
Demming saved most of his goods, and much
was saved from the other stores.-Lou. Cour.

600 inhabitants, stone built, and distinguished
for its manufacturers, particularly of course
woolens and cottons. 1t is about l2O miles
northwest of Mexico, and is seated on the bord-
ers of the Baxio-a great mountain plain OF
valley of some 1000 feet less elevation than
the valley of Mexico which stretches 60 or
more miles wide, in the neighbo.hood of the
larger city of Guanaxuato, and is considered the
richest, as it is in fact the most fertile tract of
land in all Mexico. The whole of thiscountry,
with its vicinity, is densely peopled. The lit
tie State of Quanaxuato, with a territory con-
siderably less than that of Massachusetts, has a
population of upwards of half million. The
State of Guanaxuato, which is twice as large,
contains population variously estimated at
from l25 900 up to 500, 900 souls-a remarka-

Mexico, in regard to the most important points
of national statistics, which are all guessed at.

0s-The locofoco meeting at Lexington.
KY, in opposition to the great meeting held
recently by the Whigsat the same place, came
offlast Saturday. Notwithstanding the great ex-
ertions made to secure large gathering, the
meeting was rather thiuly attended. The Lex
ington Observer contains the following notice
oft:
We called in the court house on Saturday
last, at The time appointed and published for
meeting of the Locofoco party, and found the
meeting organized, and K. N. Wickliffe on his
feet speaking to an apparently well pleased
audience. We have no desire to enter upon a
critical examination of the points assumed in
his argument at this time, but will merely as
sert what we hold to be an undeniable fact, thai
in no essential particular did he shake the sol
id rock of truth and justice, which had been
imbedded by our illustrious neighbora few DAYS
before. We will dc the gentleman the Justice
TO say that his speech was characterized by a
good deal of impassioned defamation and well
turned periods; all else was wholly without
value. We shall only, for the present, say
that ii the Locos are satified with the speech
on that occasion, as areply TO Mr.. Clays, they
are not hard to please, and we leave them tc
the full enjoyment oft.
The meeting was respectable in point of mum
6ers but nothing like as large as The previous
drilling to get upan imposing show had Undue
ed the public to expect 1t could have been
taken out of the mass meeting at the market
house on the 18th, and not have been missed.

completed before the end Of next year. The

1t is the design of the company to construct a
large warehouse at the terminus of the road in
Independence, for the purpose of storing the
goods of the Santa Fe traders, and to afford
them every facility in unlocking and retailing
their goods-and where they may remain in
safety until they ready for .transportation

GEN. TAYLoRs RECEPTION AT New ORLEANS.
We learn from the New Orleans papers that
great preparations are making BY the civil and
Military authorities of that city to welcome
Gen. Taylor, who is to be received on his land
ing as the GUEST ofthe city. The Delta of the
25th ult. says.
RECEPTION OF GEN. TAHoR.-The Commit
tee appointed for the reception ofGen. Taylor,
day before yesterday sent down an express to
Col. Maunsel Whites plantations The Col.
is requested TO send down an express TO the
Balize, and receive the earliest intimation of
the arrival of the illustrious old hero at that
point. When then news is received in this city
that the General has arrived at Col. Whites
despatched with the Committee of Reception.
The General, on his arrival, will be met by the
military and civil functionaries of the city in
the Place PArmes. He will then be escorted
to the Cathedral, where divine service, we I'M
derstand, will be performed. After this, pro-
cession will be formed, and the gallant old he
70 will be escorted TO the st. Charles Hotel,
where, for the first day, he will give his levee.
The Inequalities of the city are to be rendered
to Gen. Taylor, and a reception win be given
to him that will vie with that given to Gen.
Lafayette on the occrsion of his visit to New
Orleans.
The Commercial of the same date says:
THE HERO OF BUENA VIsTA.-We are told
hat General Taylor's family are waiting his ar
rival at the Barracks, below the city-and it
is there he will probably stop, on his way
hither, TO give time for the completion of ar
rangements for his reception. We understand
it has been proposed that the whole body OF
steamboats,, now at the Levee, should be put
in requisition- acquisition, indeed, why it will
be labor Of love and joy--to proceed down
the river for the purpose of escorting him to
the landing, opposite the Place dArmes. II
this is true, we can imagine nothing finer than
the coup deH which will be presented on this
suspicious and memorable occasion.

n POLLUTION AND fHlLCSOPHER.-lu last
Concordia hltelIigcncer tells the following ex-
cellent story:
In Madison parish, prior to the recent cleo
ton, there was an overflow of patriotism in the
Wing ranks and nearly half dozen candidates
some of them voluntarily, TO their honor be
it written-came forward to represent the par
ish, afraid lest this exuberance of disnterested
feeling might injure their cause by allowing a
democrat 10 run in, held caucus and nomina-
ted Mr.. VIM. s. Scott, as the choice of the par
ty and the candidate on whom they would COL
centrate, thanking the rejected address" Of
ters of service, at the same Time The cdndI-
dates who were not accepted of their party,
showed, at once, their fidelity to their plinci-
Piles by declining TO serve as soon as they learn
ed that their services were not wanted; and
each of them has published in the Madison
Journal, the fact that he has retired from the
canvass,-all of them with generosity not
less rare than noble, recommending the accept
ed candidate to the suffrages of their friends.
All these letters of the disappointed candi-
dates are of the usual tenor except one. In
that one, philosophic GOODNESS and consum-
ma lie independence are exhibited which emit
tie it to especial notice. Il is from our esteem
ed friend Judge Allen Pierse, who says that he
desired to represent the parish of Madison in
the Legislature, that he might carry out Ger
tain measures deemed beneficial to its interests
that SO soon as had become candidate he had
gone TO work TO find out the wants of the peo-
pie. In this he had utterfully failed. but al
though he had found out nothing that they did
want, he says, 81 have ascertaIned one thing
they do not want viz they do not want me TO
represent them"
The Judge is greater philosopher than poll
tician. How few do we find able to show
such indomitablc self possession under defeat?
Madison parish must be richer in virtue than
in cotton and corn, lift can afford to keep ma
ny such men as Judge Pierse among them.
Hoe SLAUGHTERING IN CINcINNATr.-The
Cincinnati Commercial, of Wednesday says:
| Up to the evening of the 29th, as we learn
| from reliable sources, betweell 50 and 80 900
hogs had been slaughtered at the several houses
of the city, without taking into consideration
those killed at the several housesin the coun-
try, to be packed here. The total number. in the
| city alone, it is thought will 20 beyoll 2J0;-
600 at the end of the season..
| The Pork was never of better quality than
that of the present year, being OF improved
breeds and fattened with care. Thus Far the
weight of the hogs has gone beyond an average
of 200 pounds-greater than in previous sea
sons. The prices, on foot, are from 50 to 49,
% per hundred.
Hundreds of dressed hogs are daily brought
in by wagons, canal, and railroad, for the sever
! al packing houses of the ty,and every slaugh-
ter house is working to the fullest extent Of It's
physical means.
