The Legislature adjourned on last Thursday
night
A revenue law was passed increasing the taxes
twenty-five per cent over the present rates; which
it is believed will not be sufficient to defray the
ordinary expenses of the government; much less
to meet the $3.50, 900 deficit to be provided for du
ring the next fiscal year.
The district bill failed in consequence Of disa-
greemenT between the two houses of the Legisla-
ture. A new edition of pocket Congressional dis
tricts, we believe would be popular, just at this
time, explanatory of successful plan for each as
prant to be elected to congress.
In the noise and confusion of the last night of the
session, we regret to say, the bill legalzing the
vote of Monroe county for corporate subscrip-
ton in railway stock, was laid upon the shelf.
An act was passed authorizing the people of Co
pah county to subscribe for stock in their corpo-
rate capacity, upon majority vote in tho New
Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad
1t is believe: that, with proper canvass, one
hundred thousand dollars may be obtained from
this source.
We have no heart for censure or criticism upon
the action of the Legislative bodies and conclude
this brief notice by sujoining the very appropriate
address of the President of the Standardization

table of maiorites by additional returns, and
makes the ma ority of Col. VIM. Hopkins. the dem
ocratic candidate for canal commissioner, at the
late election in Pennsylvania, 1865. with coun-
ties to be heard from which gave last year $500
democratic majority. This looks like larger ma
iority than 10000 in Pennsylvania. Judge Wood
ward, who ran for supreme at the same election,
on the democratic ticket, will have from 18, 900 to
