and is just about printed. The APportionment
/ Bill IS destined to consum2 as much time, and
make as much bad blood, as any measure Of the
session.
The course OF the Speaker on the appoint
ment of the Committee on the liquor law has dis

The subject of tax titles has and will engross
the attention of the Legislature considerably at
this session. There is no doub; but that if the
