LEGISLATURE OF MARYLAND.

The session of the Legislature of Maryland cloAd
on Tuesday evening A large number of bills VIDE
passed on Monday evening and yesterday morning,
and good many rejected. Among the bills re-
jeoted by the Senate was the one to exempt the
property of the debtor to the amount of $3.50 from
being taken for his debts. The constitution looked
to the Legislature passing some law the subject,
but it seems the two, Houses could not agree as to
the in which the exemption should operate and
bill passed The whole property of the debtor
is therefore still LIABLE under the old constitution for
his debts
The Senate rejected the bill to incorporate the Mary
land and Delaware Canal Company. AS the title and
purpose of this company seems to be something like
that of the Ship Canal Company, it has caused doubt
whether it is not the same and gives rise fears that
the making Of the proposed ship canal from The Chesa-
psake bay the Deaware bay has thus been defeated We
have pleasure in being able to dismiss all such fears
actly the same. The company contemplated by the
charter rejected yesterday is the Maryland and Della
Canal Company, and it proposed to make canal
to run from Elkton in Maryland, to river empty
ing into the Delaware bay. The other company (the
charter for which passed both Houses of the Legislature
and is therefore law is called the Maryland and
Delaware Ship Canal Company and, its title imports
the largest class pass The canal it is to make is
not to above Sassafras river, and will be twenty-five
miles long So the rejection of the bill yesterday has
nothing TO do wiM The proposed ship canal
