mittees have been nearly all announced 10y

The reports Of the various State officers have
been received and ordered printed. 1t is
not to be expected that the real legislation
of the session will be reported from the
standing COMMITTEES, through whose hands
all bills OF general nature must pass before
they can lie acted upon 10 the two houses,
until after the holidays are over. Indeed
we think it was an error to change he Cons
stilulion so as to require the Legislature to
mse, on the first Monday of December in
stead Of January as formerly. Both houses
seem disposed to take hold Of the business
Of general and wholesome legisl ion in the
true spirit. 1t is yet too early to Judge OF
our new Legislature or determine who are
to be the real leaders Of the dominant party
in the two houses. few members Of the
Assembly have shown d isposilion TO talk
too much, ard become capuons on par
iamenlary questions. We can assure such
that they will not, in our judgment be
found the most popular aud influential
members 10y the time the real business Of

The Directors, with the aid of the proceeds Of
a special tax levied two years ago, amounting to
some S5S 600, and other means at their disposal
have been able 'to erect and complete an excel
lent, substantial and commodious shop building
sixty feet vide by two hundred and fliy-iour
feet long and four stories and half IN height
in every respect well ad pied for the purpo'e,
besides making some necessary repairs upon the
other buildings. Those who have examined the
building pronounce it superior to any one used
for similar purpose in the Eastern prisons.
The discipline OF the Prison has been improv-
ed during the past two years, school has been
started and many prisoners have manifested u
dispost ion to learn TO read and write.
THE annual deficiency of earnings to meet
expenditures Tor the past four years has been
between seventy and eighty thousand dollars
This deficit will b" materially reduced during the
next two years by increased receipts from prison
labor, and the Directors hope to be able within
that time to bring it down To a sum not much be-
You'd fifty thousand dollars"

THE CONCERT AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The grand vocal and instrumental concerts
for the benefit of the Catholic church of
our town, took place last Saturday evening,
the proceeds 20 be first devoted to defray-
ing the expenses incurred in the purchase
and transportation from Europe of six
beautiful statues which now adorn our
church. Some fourteen or fifteen of our
best amateur musicians, of both sexes, had
generously offered their services, and the
music was probably even better than might
have been expected. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather, many persons
from the country were in attendance, and
the audience must have numbered over
four hundred OpelouSGs Courier.
