Coomed to o!sapr proiGtmcnt
Ii was in session three weeks before
its committees were aPpoiatel, !, and it is
now in the i;h week OF the session

member introduced concurrent resv!u-
ton tor ilsi Adjournment On March
18th. Ii took lhc Democrats by sur
prise, ana their Indignation was almost
unrestrained. Ihey were compelled
however, to assume viriure which they
did not have, and vote for the resolu-
tlOp. Tlcrc were some courageous
enough TO declare they did not want
inai Adjournment at that time, and iu
the senate the Ril;ter met with quite a
respectah!e--as regards mum ber.--
Democratic opposition. Unless that
resolution is leoonsidered. and it is very
doubtful indeed il the senate will cor-

but little more than five weeks of the

used in the same msuDer that the last

appreheuded for passing counterfeit

She had her trial at Albany, and was
acquitted. The jury brought in a ver-

says, although this result was partly
expected the crowd manifested their ap-
proval by loag continued applause
which the court in vain tried to check
The prisoner was so overcome with
emotion at the termination that tears
came into her eyes and rising she bowed
her thanks to the jury. The court then
announced that she was discharged, and
with her husband sad child she left the

BUSINESS FAILURES LAST YEAR.
1t appears from the annual circular OF
the Mercantile Agency at New York
that the failures in .hirty-seven States
during the year 1874 numbered $3.50,
the amount of liabilities being $780,
10000. In 1878 there were less
number of failures (5l83) but the
amount of liabilities was S22S;499,000,
In 1872 there were 4, ,069 failures, the
liabilities being Sl21 ,056,0O0, and in
1871, 2,015 failures, and the liabilities
SS5, ,253,000. In Connecticut, Indiana,
Maine, Massachusetts,, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, &c the failures were more
than in 1873, and less in Alabama,
Missouri, North Carolina, and other
Southern States, the causes, no doubt,
being purely local. Another noticeable
feature is that, while the numbsr of
failures are more than in 1878, there is
diminuton in the amount of liabili-
ties. There are two causes for this,
namely, the panic, which involved an
unusual number Of large houses, and
during 1874 the volume OF bssiness
was greatly diminished. The largest
number OF failures WIS in New York
City, Gao; in the State of Pennsylvania
there were Gl4. The least number was
in Vermont, So The liabilities in New
York City were So, $4,000, and in
Pennsylvania S34,774,000.
The effect OF the fres banking clause
of the new law has been thus far, says
the Philadelphia Ledger, just what il
was predicted it would be, namely, to
increase the bank capital aud circulation
Of Eastern States. 1t appears that from
Maine applications have been made tol
charters for two new banks with capi.
tai of $l50,0 and for an inc,ease OF
100000 capital for old banks Old
banks in Vermont petition Tor Sl50,00C
more capital. Two new banks arc
asked fJr ia Massachu t., with capt
tai Of 0,000 III the aggregate; old
banks ask for Sl5O.O00 more capital
and other cid 5auks ask Tor $1,000, ,OvC
more circulation GU capital already paiC
in. The new banks ia Connecticut ash
for 100000 capi;al; the application!
for Increase Of capital from the sam,
State amount to $3.50 600, and Ole
bauks ask for $500 ,OU0 increase Of cir
