established lines, under penalty of for
fixture. The property of the company is
to be exempted from taxation for
ten years after organization. TO
aid the purposes OF the COM
pany in increasing immigration, the
Governor of the State is authorized and
required to issue bonds Of the denomina-
ton of five hundred dollars to the amount
Of two millions, of which bonds two hun
dred are to be delivered to the company
as soon as one hundred thousand dollars
have been paid in by shareholders. The
payment of the interest accrling on these
bonds is provided for by "a special tax
sufficient to pay the interest, the tax to
be on all taxable property. The above
are the principal features of the bill,
which was passed by large majority.
We learn that it is proposed, as soon as
possible after the company has been Or
ganized, to build ten light draft iron sea-
going steamers. At the present time Liv-
erpool merchants telegraph to New York,
where the means of transportation abound,
which enables them to calculate within a
few hours when they can receive the cot
ton thus ordered. A ready means OF
Transportation from this port will enable
our factors to send shipments direct, and
give New Orleans the advantages which
New York at present exclusively possesses
The act incorporating the mississippi
River Packet Company was then called
M and passed with little debate. On the
third reading M Burch made remarks
to the effect that this was an enterprise OF
great interest to the colored populace OF
the State 1t was of tie utmost lmpor-
lance to these people to establish them
selves commercially.
The remainder OF the morning IN the
House was occupied with bills OF no I'M
portauce except to those Immediately in

In the evening session OF the House
/ debate took place on Senate bill No. lo2'
being an act to incorporate the Ale1an-
dria, Homer and Fulton Railroad Com
pany, and to grant State aid thereto.
This bill, which was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Blackman, was passed
in the House bya large majority.
In addition to the above, the Baton
Rouge municipal bill, already mentioned
in our notices Of the Senate, was passed,
after q long and windy debate.
