Tue New LAws.-A copy Of the
Acts of the last Legislature is be-
! fore us. The book is fresh from the
press Of Mr.. Emile Lasere, "Impfa-
mear detat de III Loaistana," at
New Orleans. The typographical aud
mechanical part Of the work is very
good, and the paper is much better
than any Of the former "Acts,' have
been printed upon. The volume con-
tains about 375 pages with concise
marginal notes, a list of acts and gen
eral index. We expressed a fear
sometime ago, that the book would
not be ready for the next Legislature,
we take it back now and fehcitate the
people, and the State, md the State
officers, on The valuable acquisition OF
357 more new laws to be added to the
State Library OF standard literature.
