4 SINGULAR OMiSsIoN.---Thc Message ofGOv.
Ferry delivered before the present Assembly,
was Il very creditahle production, and con-
tanned fund of interesting statistical infor-
nation relative to the progress of our Terri
tory in agricultural and kindred pursuits.
The recommendations in reference to the
manner ofasscssing and collecting Territorial
revenue are worthy the closest attention of
our lawgivcrs. \ singular omission is noted,
however i'll its not containing n word in
reference to the commercial and manufacture
ing interests of our Territory, which are Ger
tainly of paramount interest to other subjects
discussed. The oversight is probably unin-
territorial, but is nevertheless the subject of
general remark, and dctracts very much from
the strength of the document.

not materially alter the present districts
The concurrent resolutions requires mem.
bers of Congress to urge an appropriation
for Galveston Harbor, Sabine Pass. Aran-

Tho Senate then resolved itself into a
high court of impeachment in the case of
Judge Scott.
The House was engaged yesterday and
to-day on the school bill, and an amend
ment was offered for nearly every article
of the bill. 1t is probable that the session
will last till June, as the committee of the
Senate recommend the fifth of Mayas the
day for the trial of Judge Scott.
AT the evening session thu House passed
the school bill, amended.
The Governor sent into the House an
act repeating the police bill, vetoed which
was passed over his veto fifty eight to sew
