THE REVENUE LAws.-The revenue laws
adopted by the last Legislature of this State
were at the time Of their proposal made the
subject of much political and minimizing OPP
position. Their justice was contested, their
feasibility denied, and their ability to sup
ply the deficiency created by the repeal of
the Stamp Tax and the reduction of the
State Tax, doubted. Their operation has
happily answered all these objections.
There has been no complaint against their
execution, and it is now becoming evident
that they will in no way impair the finances
of the State.
The following table Furnished to the An
napolis Gazette by the Comptroller of the
Treasury exhibits the returns of the Clerks
Of the several Circuit Courts and of the Clerk
of Common Pleas, for the six months end

THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 81, lss.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. -Congess
adjourned at noon on Monday, in accordhce
with the joint resolution of the House a.
dopted some weeks since. The Se1ate
made an effort to prolong the session for wo
hours, but the hour twelve arrived whilst
the resolution was under consideration in
House, and the Speaker Immediately de-
clared the body adjourned. Of the imlor-
tant measures pending between the two
Houses. but one, the Army Appropriation
bill, failed to pass for want Of an agreemsnt.
The Kansas proviso, added to this bill by
the House, and to which the Senate firmly
refused to agree, was as follows:
"Prouided. nevertheless, That part Of the mil
itary force of the United States herein provided
for shall be employed in aid of the enforcement
of the enactments of the alleged Legislative AS
sembly of the Territory of Kansas, recently as
sembied at Shawnee Mission, until Congress hall
have enacted either that it was vast not
valid Legislative Assembly, chosen in confumi-
ty with the organic law by the people of thesaiJ
Territory. find prorided, That, until Congress
shall have passed on the validity of the said Leg
islatve Assembly of Kansas, it shall be the duty
of the President to the military force in said
Territory to preserve the peace, suppress insur-
rection, repel invasion, and protect persons and
property therein, and upon the national highways
in the State Of Missouri, from unlawful seizures
and searches. find 1t further provided That the
President is required to disarm the present organ
lied militia of the Territory of Kansas, and recall
all the United States arms therein distributed
and to prevent armed men from going into said
Territory to disturb the public peace aid in the
enforcement or resistance Of real or pretended
laws" x,
The Baltimore american says:
The result of the failure to pass this bill
is to leave the Government without the
means or authority to meet the ordinary ex-
penses for the pay and maintenance of the
army, whilst it also forces a suspension Of
all the military works throughout the coun-
try. The consequences could not be other
wise than most serious and embarrassing tc
the administration and to the country, and
t,hhe President has, therefore, properly as
sumed the responsibility Of calling an extra
session. We hope that better counsels vii
prevail when the House again comes to-
gether, and that one of the most Important
defences of the country will not be unjustly
sacrificed by the disagreement Of members
upon the Kansas question.

The Moluccas, OF Spice Islands, on the
End Of March last, were visited by terrific
and destructive earthquake. A large por-
ton of the country is the scene of perfect
devastation, and the loss Of life amounts to
twenty-eight hundred souls.
"The greater number met their deaths in
the gardens. They fed in all directions,
but were overtaken and swallowed up by the
fatal fire stream. Some tried to save them
selves in the trees but were either carried
away with them or killed by the scorching
heat, At Kalougan and Tariang the hous-
es were filled with people who were stopped
in their flight by the lava streaming down
on all sides and who met their death under
the burning ashes and the tumbling houses.
Many who had reached the shore and thought
themselves safe, became prey to the furl-
Gus waves, and many died through sheer
despair and agony.
