Revival of Business.

Business, though slow TO revive at Misplace,
is beginning to assume some of the features of
old times. Daily evidences of n recupcration
OF trade and energy may be seen showing
that Notwithstanding the immense disaivanta,
ges under which our people labor, there is still
chance for the hduatrious and euterprisng
to make living. Already more goods have
been sold here than the many Solo mons herea.
bout predicted there could be, wi Thin the presv
ent year, under the most favorable circum
stances. Il was said that our people would
have nothing for sale from which they could rel
alize money but the facility with which pro-
vision supplies can be bought, { you can but
get the money to buy with, shows the fal-
lacy OF this prediction. If every man who is
now idle will emGnge in some branch Of bust.
ness or labor, and not be too particular as to
the kind OF labor, provided it promises to af,
tosd him an honest livelihood, the District will
rapidly recover from its late prostration.-
What we most need at this time is steady and
enterprising mechanics. There is all opening
here Tor the exercise OF mechanical energy and
enterprise in almost all OF it's branches. Let

The Legisl ,.ure.

This body adjourned onh Monday last. 1t
was expected that the Extra Session would
continue until the regular Session f+th Monday
in November,) but owing to the constitutional
difficulty of passing bills without the. concur
renee of the Governor elect, who cannot quail
iy until the first week Of the regular Session,
it was deemed advisable 10 adjuurn.
We learn from our representative, Mr. Moore
that very little has been done tcyond what has
already been reported. The Legislature has
ratified the amendment to the Federal Consti.
tuition abolisking slavery. The reputation Of
the war debt (or rather It's nonassump.ion by
the present Stats GorernmenD another re-
qurement of the Federal Govern nent, has not
vet, but will be arranged to the satisfaction o!
tne Government of t.ie Utited States. This
debt, we understand, is about two millions of
dollars, being principally bonds issued by the
State after secession. An impression prevails
that the State endorsed the bonds of the Con,
federate Government to limited extent but
tbs, we think .is mistake. There was an Act
Of the Legislature providing for such endorse.
mcnt; but our impression is that the measure
to endorse their proporiionate share Of the
bonds it was rfen proposed to issue.
The Report of the Committee Of IN e Code
has not been iispo ed oC One Of the bills
embraced in the Code (the bin to regulate the
