Adjournment Of the Legislature.
The State Journal saws ctthis body,

lhe otato SourhhI says OF thfs otuy'
The General Assembly has adjourned In
accordance with the joint resolution previ-
ously passed. The Senate at n lac hout on
Monday oil Iht, granted the request Of. the
House LOT a second committee OF Conference
on the bill making appropriations for the
Canals. The committee on the part Of the
Senate consisted Of Messrs. Schls:ch and
Cox, and on the part of the House, of Messrs.
Brown, Slusser and Parrot. After confer
ring together, they unanimously agreed on
requesting the Honse to recede from it's
amendment, and recommended an appropria.
ton of the tolls received and $4,000 per
month additional for keeping the Public
Works 10 repair. This Recommendation
was finally agreed to by the House, by a
vote of ID 10 40.
The General Assembly has been here 10
session eighty Eve days. The members were
a~ctuated by a sincere desire 10 do what
they Thought the interests OF the State
demanded, with a due regard to economy
and efficiency. They did not pass as many
bills as the last Legislature, but they pro.
jected and passed some measures Of consid.
cradle Importance. II is calculated that BY
the new printing bill some $l5 900 per
year will be saved to the State. The loan
bill became a law on Saturday, The bill.
re organizing and regulating the Peniten.
tiary, md a bill to enlarge the Penitentiary
we're also passed. The bill for building. a
new Penitentiary, together with q large
number Of other bills, were postponed ill
the fret Monday in January 1857
The bill to lease the Canals Yves warmly
urged, though many members preferred .
sale to a lease. The mujority, how ever
came to the conclusion, that as it was a
matter of vast Importance, il should not be
acted on hastily and that it was the best,
on The whele, to leave definite action on |,
till next winter. The proposition OF Messrs,
Nugent, Miller and Robinson had some
advocates, but many thppght il would open
the door IL litigation, and that the Stats
might 10 the end lose mpre than it, would
save by pting their proposition, The
general Impression it, that the canals ought
10 be in the Hands df private enterprise, ant
that such q dispo, ilioR Of them would b. fol
the interest OF all concerned. It is probable
that q well matured bill either for their sale
or lease, will be introduced into the Legis
lature next winter. ma
A list Of the titles Of the LawS and Join,
Resolutions passed during the session will
be found in another part OF this paper.

SIKH. To this silly childish accusation,
we reply that we have. always. socially,

as a result we have been able to live on

Democratic and Republican Man
agement Of the Public Works
A Contrast. B.

The pretsnee Of some OF the Democratic
organs that the Republicans have proved to
be unf, custodisns Of the public interests
committed to their care provokes a contrast
Of their doipgs with that Of the Democrats,
when they were 10 power We gave u
single item yesterday-that Of clerk hire In
the Legislature--by which 1t WIS shown
that the Democracy when they had the Lee
gis|ature last year expended % $50 more
Tor that purpose than The Republicans did
this year.
We now propose to call attention to some
Of the Legislation OF the Democracy in re.
gard to the Public Works, compared with
that Of the Republicans on the same sub.
jcct. On the l2lh of April, 1858, the
Democratic Legislature passed an act for
the regulation Of the Public Works, in which
they authorize the appointment of various
officers at certain salaries. On the Gath Of
March, 1850, the Republican Legislature
parsed a law on the same subject. The pro-
digality Of the Democracy and the economy
of the Republicans may be clearly seen by
a comparison Of the salaries authorized by
each. They show, that in the salaries Of
Collectors, Inspectors, Weigh-M Masters and
Deputy Weight Masters, the Republicans
have effected a saving of S5 $50 per yeur.
But this is not all. They have reduced the
salaries Of Ave resident engineers from 3d..
800 per year., to 1900 per years. further
swing Of $1,000 more. They a,so reduced
the sala les Of Superintendent Of Repairs
from S720 10 eco per year. The Report Of
the poGs ptap55kah Works for 1850, shows
that there were ten Of these Superinten-
dents employed last year. Here is a further
saving Or &60o,
The act Of @is6U removes the Collector,

fance to Junction, and the Collectors Of.

no Deputy Weiyh.M Master is hereafter to be
appointed.
