the parish of St. Martin have approached
and written to me, representing that TINS
work would confer no particular benefit to
the parish or State. 1t seems to me that
this would be apprOpriating $35 900 without
doing any particular good to any parish or

Mr.. Ogden: Mr.. President, would like
to say this: That Colonel Emmett has spoken
to me about this. The fact that the proposed
canal goes through his place does not pre-

Onel Emmett is an old resident Of the parish
Of st. Martin.
Mr.. Antoine: desire to know whether he
is not some relative to Mr.. Grant.
Mr. Anderson: This work, Mr.. President,
will reclaim large portion Of land, and to
show you what the work was thought of be-
fore, will state that the Legislature, in
1858, by act 289-in the latter part Of 1853
ordered the construction of this work.
Subsequently, in 1859, act No. 129 was
passed for the same purpose, showing that
the work was considered Of great i'm
portance to the State by the Board Of Public
Works at that time.
l know nothing further about it, and
have no personal interest in it.
Mr.. Wittgenstein: Mr.. President, as I
understand it, the money can not be ex-
pended except the Board of Public Works
thinks it advisable; furthermore, / think
the bill is a good one, and l hope it will
pass.
The Senate refused to pass the bill by
a vote Of to 20.
Other measures were acted upon without
debate.
The Senate adjourned.

has attended all the night sessions of the
Legislature during the extra session. His
duties have been very labOriOus.
Mr. Smith: have no objection to that.
Mr. Wittgenstein: He is included in the
resolution adopted, granting compensation
to the Secretary, Assistant Secretary and
Minute Clerk. That was my intention when
when introduced the resolution. We have
two Minute Clerks.
Mr. Braughn: Then the resolution should
read, Minute Clerks
By unanimous consent, the Secretary was
directed to change the wording of the resO
luton accordingly.
The resolution introduced by Mr.. Smith
was adopted.
Several bills were taken up and acted
upon without debate.
House bill 2ll, supplementary to an act to
reclaim and drain swamp and overlooked
lands in the parishes of St. Martin and La
fayet.te, came up on third reading.
Mr. Anderson: Mr.. President. this is a
wOrkof great Importance to the State and to
that section of country; it is carrying out the
plan of the Legislature Of 1853 and 1859.
1t will place great deal of land belonging
to the State in condition to be sold. and is
there for work of great imports nee and
Board Of Public Works. We have been
selling State lands there. and the money
has gone into the State treasury; l claim,
therefore, that the people in that section are
entitled to some Of the benefits OF this
money; their land has been sold, and they
have never received anything. Besides this
land belonging to the State will be reclaim
ed, worth five or ten times the amount ex-
pended. The work, as said before, will be
under the direction Of the Board
of Public Works, and, if they decide against
it the work will not be done
Mr..Antoine: Mr. President, l have been
credibly informed that the land belongs to
private individuals, and do not think this
bill should be passed. There are other
matters connected with that land and this
bill that 1 feel q delieacy in speaking of.
For that reason move to indefinitely post
pone this bill.

payable on the warrant of the Chairman OF
the Committee on Contingent Expenses,
cOuntersigned by the President Of the Sen
ate and the Secretary.
The item was so amended and adopted
Z The item proposed by Mr.. Bacon was not
acted upon.
Mr.. Smith: If the gentlemen will allow
me l will offer an amendment so as to in
clude witnesses that have been required to
attend before committees Of the Senate.
We can not expect that they should attend
without Il reasonable compensation.
Mr.. Lynch: 1t seems to me that they
should be paid out of the contingent fund.
Mr.. Smith: Certainly; but these witnesses
certainly are entitled to reasonable compen-
sation for their attendance.
Mr.. Lynch: If You open the door for all
the committees who have examined wit
ncsses, we will never get through with these
claims.
The amendment was withdrawn.
Several additional items were adopted
without debate.
Mr.. Campbell: Mr.. President, l now offer
this provisO:
Provided, That no one of the above named
appropriations to private charitable institu-
tons shall be valid, nor shall warrants issue
therefor, until the same shall have been ex-
amined by joint commission of three per
sons, one to be appointed by the President
OF the Senate, one by the Speaker of the
House and one by the Governor, who shall
SIT in the vacation between this and the next
General Assembly, and visit such institution;
n! warrant shall issue to any such institu-
lon by the Auditor OF Public Accounts until
1t shall have applied for the same through
us proper officers, which application shall
nave been approved by said commission.

was laid on the table.

Office to furnish these abstracts; that has
| been done in 1868 an appropriation of
$4,000 was made to pay for these abstracts
furnished from the United States Land
Office: that appropriation has been ex-
| hausted and this appropriation asked for
| now is merely to pay Tor what has already
| been done.
| Mr. Blackman: Mr.. President, can the
| gentleman show me the law! He quotes
what the law is, but seems to draw an incOr-
| rect conclusion from it. The point that
| wish to make is, that the State Land Office
is not entitled to receive single cent for
| furnishing these abstracts. The law of 1855
makes it the duty of the United States
Land Office. and the State Land Office to
furnish them. The United States Land
Officer is paid by the United States govern
ment, and in order to facilitate the State
Land Officer in obtaining these abstracts
and furnish them, the act of 1855 was
passed; but it never was intended that it
should apply to the State Land Register or
his employees, because the State Land Regis
ter receives q salary OF $1,000 per year, his
clerk receives $1,000, and they are allowed
no fees whatever. The law applies entirely
to the United States Land Office. l there
fore offer this prOvisO:s
Provided, the State Land Register or his
clerk shall receive no compensation for fur
nisIling abstracts to the Recorders of par
ishes.
MI. Ray: Can you show me the law The
same law applies to the State and the United
States Land Offices.
Mr.. Blackman: Here it is, the old law of
1855: but under the act of 1859 the whole
system was changed, and the Register is to
receive salary OF $4,000, and it is provided
that he shall receive no fees; but the law
gives him clerk at a salary of $4,000.
hold that the act of 1859 did away with the
act Of 1856, and the Register has no right to
receive any such fees. Senator Lynch and
myself have examined the point, and am
satisfied we are correct.
F; Mr.. Todd: Mr.. President, the first thing |
wish to be informed of is, what stage these
two items are. l understand Senator Ray
sent up two items, and Senator Blackman |
offers a provisO to them. move to lay the |
prOvisO ON the table.
The proviso was tabled, and the two items
adopted.

A BRAIN ATMOSPHERE new theory
is propeunded to explain why one hap
pens to think of persons he has not seen
for years just before meeting them. "A
similar phenomenon often happens when
one has impressions Of the death of
friends who may be thousands of miles
away, and subsequently learns that they
died at that particular moment. A writer
in the London Spectator thinks that there
is brain atmosphere extending through
space more subtle than the air, or evon
than the electric fluid. As the un,lula-
tions of the air occasion sound, and the
undulatioEs OF the ether give the inn
preston Of hight 40 the undulntions of
this brain atmosphere may convey i'm
presslons between sympathetic minds
there are certainly many facts which it
will explain very satisfactorily, but these
different atmospheres must be cuYiously
constituted, if so many different vibra-
trations, moving from so many different
directions, do not interfere with one an
other. The theory of light, with its
hundreds of millions of ethereal vibra-
tions every second, through the vast
space between the earth and the sun, or
between the earth and distant nebnltc
has always been a tough morsel for our
mental digestion. The masters of sci
ence,lay down the law, and we submit
but our faith is weak. And now comes
new atmosphere, with n new sense of
motions. 1T is little too much for us,
we confess, and looks saw muddle, F."
as the world did to poor Stephen Black
well. With vibrations of air, vibrations
of ether, vibrations Of brain atmos-
phere, aud vibrations Of electricity, I'VE
suppose that must vibrate, too,) things
will get mixed up badly. IT'S no wonder
insanity is increasing, for so many sorts
of vibrations are enough to addle any
weak brain, and make 1t impossible to
distinguish one from t'other. We must
beg our scientific friends to hold up, and
keep their discoveries of any more at
mosphere to themselves. We shall be
crushed under the lond, if the number
is increased. There is limit to human
endurance. .-Provielencc Journal.

those of the General Assembly for 1868

not gotten up by nero guess-work for an
