The Florida Legislature.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 1.-The Senate to-day
resolved to proceed as a high court of impeach-
ment for the trial of Harrison Read, on Thursday
the ID inst. Governor Day sent In "a message, in
which he stated the amount of unpaid taxes for
1871 to be $27l,724, and there was necessary for
the current expenses of the State, Including taxes
for 1879, about $360,0OO. To pay this amount,
there is outstanding lees than $4,000 in State
scrip. He, therefore, recommends the adoption of
measures which will enable the people to pay their
taxes, and also recommends the passage OF law
declaring Comptroller's warrants receivable for
taxes. In the Assembly, the resolution that the
Board OF Managers be urged to take immediate
4 steps TO make preparation tc proceed with the
trial OF Harrison Read was defeated by 10 yeas to

The widening Of Water Street.

The report Of the Commissioners. appointed to
ward damages and assess benefits to property
olders, occasioned by the proposed widening OF
Cater street, was presented to the City Council
Ist evening. The aggregate OF the awards, as
till be seen by reference to the report in the
|ouncil proceedings, is sl33,2SO. The Commis-
koners make no assessments for benefits believing
thew say, none will accrue in consequence OF the
lroposed improvement. No action was taken by
he Council 1t was late when the report:was reach
and read. and;t was referred to the Com on
)pening Streets 1t now becomes the duty OF this
committee to report in favor of adopting or re-
netting the award Unless great change has
bme over the minds of number of the mem
ers of the Committee, they will undoubtedly re
ort against accepting the award, and the Counci
ill sustain such report for similar reasons, viz,
hat it's adoption would be likely to throw thu
thols of the cost OF the award upon the city. Th'
host earnest advocates for the improvement main
aimed in their speeches. some months since. tha
khe CITY would not be called upon to pay NOR
ha,, u third Of the whole cost OF the improve
uent.

MY DEAR SIR My name. if we may Judge
from the newspapers will not be much considered
kt Cincinnati, and l am quite content and none
lhe less grateful to the friends who thnkit should
be offered. As you know, have not sought or
aesired the nomination, Ii it were judged the
best means of uniting the greatest number OF
those opposed to the administration on principle,
II would doubtless be my duty to accept it.
II any other name be preferred, shall be en-
|trsly satisfied. What is essential with me is
&hat what has been gained-freedom be secured
beyond q peradventure; that the currency be
placed OH sound basis; that real reform be ac-
complished in taxation, internal and external
and perfect reconciliation be effected Of all sec
tions and citizens. Your Parkersbnrg platform
as remember it, embodies these views substan-
TALLY, and l hope none contrary to 1t will b'
Adopted. Yours truly,

The tetyrns Of the Massachusetts Bureau
OF Labor Statistics show that the cash value
Of farms In that State has decreased nearly
seven millions Of dollars within the past ten
years. Taxes are heavy there, Labor is
scarce and costly. The young men Of Mass.
a0husetts find little encouragement to stay at
bone and work upon farms which yield but
. small profit for the most arduous labor, when
they can find SO much more inviting fields in
the West. OF the farm lAborers in that State
only 0ne-flfth are tlative b0rl--all the rest are
foreigners. principally irish and French Can
adams. Many Of the farms are passing into
the hands Of persons Of foreign birth, who
are contAnt with profits which are entirely in
adequate TO the desires Of.the more enterpris-
ing descendants Of the Puritans.

: THE WEALTH OF THE BRIDEGROOM.
The wealth of the youthful Marquis of Butte
has been common talk since he attained to his
ma jority, not quite four years ago; but to under
stand what this wealth is-to foim just idea,
indeed, of any real weath-one must see it, not
IN rows OF printed figures. but in swarmlng in
dustrv, in piles of merchandise on broad and
busy uuays, in wilderness of tall masts, in hab
itations fit for man. in schools in churches and
o in well-tilled fields To wealth such as this
d Lord Butte succeeded, by the mysterious will o
g Heaven, while he was yet n little child, tot
u u young to know or even to feel the difference be
% tween princely riches and the direst poverty.
II ball had been given to celebrate his birth; |
E, was the first festivity graced by the presence
his mother after that event, and it was changet
l.. with awful suddenness to terror and lamentatior
is by his fathers death. The unconcious little hel

De into knowledge and understanding, he foun

against the possible temptations and headlon
