STATE OF LOUISIANA.
Executive Department
New Orleans. January i, 1872.
To the Honorable President and Members OF the
Senate:
A Joint resolution originating with your
honorable body, entitled " A joint resolution
to raise joint committee to collect from the
United States the value of cotton and other
property turned over to the United States at
the time of the surrender" is returned here
with without my approval. Iregard this as
entirely unnecessary. Whatever is to be
done in this matter the government is fully
authorized to do without this resolution;
and the expense attending the accomplish
ment of the proposed object, including the
compensation of seven commissioners,
would. in all probability exceed the value
of the property recovered under the act.
H. C. WARMOTH,
Governor of Louisiana.

A REVOLUTION IN HOUSE PA1NTING.-Tbe Gath
olic Mirror says: The advertisement of the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company has been some
time in our columns, and it may seem strange
that it is only to day we call special attention to
it. Our reason for this is that we do not like
recommending thing unless we know it is good.
We are pleased to find that the agent, Mr.. q. Z.
Knight, was of our way of thinking. and wished
above all that the paint should be tested so that
the editor could give his conscientious opinion
of its merits Having had this test made in our
own household we have 40 hesitancy in saying
that the Enamel Paint comes up fully to all that
is claimed for it. In the country especially, where
it is difficult procure the necessary ingredient
for mixing paint, and skillful workmen to apply
it, the Enamel Paint will prove invaluable, as it
is already prepared, and can be applied by any
one possessing ordinary Judgment. For plain
work in private dwellings, churches and school
houses. it will prove very economical as well as
beautiful. One gallon of this paint will cover
twenty square yards, giving two coats. Our
friends may safely give it u trial without fear OF
disappointment.

E0ENTAT00N.

What would eight or ten Ysprssentativss from
Wilmington find to do In our lsg,slsturer The
legislature meets in January. and esnsrally q
month is passed in doing littb os no business. The
representatives mostly 60 to Dover ON Monday
aud leave there on Thursday, but take their pay
for the whole seven days Of the week. Repre-
sentation according to population would doubtless
double or treble the expenses; but We doubt
whether it would add anything to our liberty OF
reduce the taxes one way or another. The farm.
ers OF New Castle County are jest - much op-
posed to levying heavy taxes ON land as are
the farmers of Kent and Sussex. and hence no
change could be expected in that matter. because
tha votes Of the agricultural interest would necss-
sarily be combined to protect their lands. which
they say are now taxed as heavily ~ they will
bear.
We hope that reflection upon this subject will
produce fruitful results in causing our people 70
settle upon some principle that may seem FEAST
bic and that will be productive Of satisfactory
reforms.
