The total number of subjected to taxation is
three million nine hundred thousand. Total number
of town lots, one hundred and thirty five thousand
three hundred and twenty eight; valued at i've

tai amount of taxes levied in 1889 and 1860 eighty
one thousand dollars, about twenty-three thousand
dollars, levied prior to 1889, remains unpaid, he
recommends township, county. and municipal or
ganizaton for the mineral regions of Western Kan
sas in relation to the late disturbances in Linn and
BOYD counties. Urges that steps be taken for the
enforcement Of the laws and vindication OF the Gov
ernment He recommends expression Of gratitude
bv the Legislature to the charitable who afforded
relief to the sufferers from drouth urges the re
peal of the act Of last session prohibiting slavery
on the ground of uncsnstitutionality. With regard
to national affairs he thinks the present distracted
state of the country, isowng to the aggressive poll

seward,s speech.

The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer says:
The Senate chamber has been the attraction to-
day. As early as eight O'Clock people crowded to
the Capitol to hear the distinguished Senator from
New York, Mr.. Seward, and two hours before the
hour of meeting the galleries were densey crowded,
so much hope was entertained that an olive branch
would be offered by the speaker which would settle
all our difficulties regret to say, howaver, that
his speech has more of a depressing effect
than otherwise, The public expectation that had
been formed of his speech had been so high that
when it was heard it fell far below the standard
set up that it created chill of disappointment, and
leaves matters in more gloomy condition than be-
