THE LEGisLATURE OF 1seo.

This number closes the record of the Leo
islature Of 1860 and so full and correct a
record has never been made. For this, praise
is due the reporters, Mr.. John X. Converse
Of Burlington, in the Senate and Henry /,
Lamb Of Montpelier, in the House Their
reports have fullcd the WaicLman almost to
its capacity, and they have far exceeded tho
amount which any other paper in the state
has chosen to publish. Some speakers have
occasionally had their speeches more fully
printed than others, but that is not due to
either reporters or printers. They have
shown partiality the fact is that in these
instances the speakers furnished their speeches.
The session has been longer than usual, but it
has been quite as industrious as its predeces-
sors, as will be seen when the laws arc PUBLISH
ed. It has been a pleasant ono 20 the members.
and we trust the results will be to their credit.
THE DEFALcArroN IN THE TREAsURY.-
We have at length definite information, in
the rcnort Of the committee Of ways aud
means, published to-day. Our readers will
be glad to see that the amount minus has not
been increased by the investigation thus far,
and that there is a fair probability Of securing
good portion Of the whole to the state.
