Gov hs anxiety and gave him bearing, which he
imnroyed mill the hour OF recess. The bill e
very shoT. one, but there may be, nevertheless,
great deal in IT, II proposes to require the Comms-
sioners of tie Lend Office 10 cell and convey all the
riglt tile aud interest OF the ate in It's lands ut
Quarantine 10 the County Of Risbmond, for the
sum of four thousand five hundred dollars. There
must be some reason why that sum IS named instead
of the usual form of deeds of gift" for and
in consideration of the sum OF one dollar; bus IL
hos not vet transpired what that reason ls. Mr..
NcMullen proposes TO amend by fixing the sum AT
500 0O0 but Mr. Price improves on that by amend
Ing TO require it 10 be sold for its actual market
value IL does not yet appear that the State Legis-
bture are SO DESTROYS of making them present oil
property to the value Of 100000 or 100000
COLLECTION OF SATIoSAL TAXES.
Some ten DAYS since Mr.. Nehsr Of Washington
County offered resolutions proposing to assume on
the mart of this State the collection Of the assessment
of direct taxes about to be levied by the General
Government. The resolutions after some discussion,
were referred to "A Select Committee. On inquiry,
find that the Committee will not be likely TO report
any action, as the benefit TO he derived from sneh
action upon the part OF any one STATE "oaid DC oi no
particular value to the General Government, ano
oaly an Increase TO the amount expended for collee
tion OF tie tax burden Of the people Of this state

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE AND SENATOR PRuiS.
The Senate bad up for consideration Senator iIu-
mans resolution sustaining the Emancipation Mes
cage OF President Lincoln. Senator Bailey adVo-
Gated the adoption Of the resolution, and spoke OF
tie infatuation OF coniscating the cotton and tobacco
o: Rebels while allowing his right to hold his slaves
~ one too sacred even for war and rebellion 70 uis
tufb. A death-struggle was N progress between
Rebellion and Slavery on the one hand, and ree-
dom and Nationality the other. lie would not
make this a war OF emancipation; but, when the
Rebels compel TO march our armies into their Ter
ritory be would have it proclaimed that Just 50 lar
AS we 20, their slaves should DC forfeited rs Wen US
their cotton and tobacco.
Mr. Ganson moved TO substitute as follows:

! CONGRESSIONAL APPoRTIoNMENT.
The Senate devoted the session TO the considere
ton OF the Congressional 9pporiionment. Tie con-
test was mainly upon the first ten districts The
fret district, being the same in both, was passed
uem con. The second was adopted ar IN Tie mnori
bill which was moved by Senator Bell snbsti-
tute Senator Murphy charged that both bills were
drawn as to dsiranchi-e the territory contained
ia the cities Of New-Yofk and BROOKLYN, the
counties OF kings, Queens, Suffolk, and Richmond,
10 the extent of one representative The majority
bill gave them IA surplus Of $780, ana the minority
bill added 10 this one assembly district IN Westches-
ter County, vi h population of near 4o-~O-thu'
making surplus unrepresen.ed larger than man y
entire dir;ric,s in other parts Of the State To
rect this injustice, he proposed a. the first ten die
tricts, the following:

This gives ten districts where either bill has but
nine of which but four below the ratio the other
eide above and the average OF population in the ten
districts is 1910, while the ratio Of representation
/ ia l2J, 100.
This proposition WA opposed by Senators Cook
and Truman, who admitted the fact OF the surpu.-
the former contending that in making contiguous
districts surplus population was somewhere newt
able, and the tendency would naturally Le toward
the cities. Senator Truman, from the Committee,
aaid that one Of tie first questions unanimously
