Rebel prisoners that General Jchn B. Floyd

PROBABLE ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGIsLA-
TURE-The committee appointed by the Legis-
lature to proceed to Washington and confer
with the Finance Committee of Congress as to
the probable quota of tax to be imposed upon
this State, the payment of which could be as
sumed by the Legislature, failed, as was antic-
pated, to gain any satisfactory information
Consequently the Legislator can do nothing
until after Congress has passed tax bill. A
oint resolution was introduced into the Senate
en- Wednesday providing for the adjournment
of the Legislature from the 2lst of March to
the 18th of June. As there is really nothing
for this Legislature to do, after passing the
General Appropriation bill, but to enact tax
laws, it is not improbable that this proposed
adjournment will take place. Ia
