Advancement orths Legislature.

The Legislature adjourned sine die on Thurs
day last. All the important business Of the
session, with the exception ofthe State Prison
matter, was perfected previous to the adjourn
ment The stamp tax bill, as amended by the
Senate, was concurred in by the Assembly and
has become a law. As the act now stands the
only tax imposed is on foreign bills Of exchange,
which have to be on stamped paper. The peo-
pIe generally will not be affected by the stamp
tax as 1t now stands, but the revenue derived
from ii will be comparatively small. If the
other revenue acts passed at this session are
honestly and faithfully carried out, 1t is believed
that sufficient revenue will be collected to pay
the expenses of the State government.
It is much to be regretted that some arrange
ment was not made with General Estell. so that
the State could resume control of tAe State
Prison convicts. The Legislature had not the
right to annul the contract even If it was made
contrary to law; that matter belonged properly
to the Courts. Estell would not surrender the
contract for less sum than ninety thousand
dollars, which was regarded as too high, con-
sidering that he had received ten thousand dol
lars per month since he took charge of the pris.
oners. We believe it would have been better
for the State to have paid Estell his price, rath.
err than to continue the appropriations of ten
thousand dollars month for four or five years
longer.
The time consumed in the impeachment trial.
of Bates and Whitman, and in fereting out tho
rascalites of those who have had charge of the
State Treasury for the past year necessarily pro
tracted the session for several weeks; but as o
general thing, the members have exhibited 0
commendabe zeal to dispatch the business be
fore them without unnecessary delay. AS usu
al, the principal business Of the session has beer
to pass local bills; but the general laws which
have been enacted will generally meet the ap
probation of the people.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE WITH AN INSANE MAN.
On Friday morning May LIST, as we learn from
the Marysville Inquirer an insane man was ma
king great disturbance at the Philadelphia
House, in Marysvile, by throwing around fur
niture, and other improper conduct. Officer
Anderson having been sent for, Immediately
went into the room where the man was, but was
met by him with huge knife and the most aw-
full threats. The officer, however, being deter
mined to make the arrest, took hold of the 9th
err party, who, being large, well-built man.
made stronger resistance than was anticipated.
In the struggle that ensued, officer Anderson
received slight wound in the hand, inflicted
with the knife, besides a rent in the coat, near
the shoulder, the result of an effort made by the
other to plunge the knife into his person. The
officer finally overpowered his man, who was Sc
cured and confined in the station house.
