NEW ORLEANS, June 20.-The Conven-
ton to-day adopted article s, providing that
the State tax on property for all purposes
whatever shall not exceed five mills. There
was 4 lively and somewhat stormy debate
on this point. The opposition claimed that
it's ado ption would be reputation Of the
debt, while it was claimed on the other side
that five mills tax would produce sufficient
revenue to support the State Government
and pay per cent. interest on the present
debt, or per cent. il the debt should be
scaled SO per cent. The vote on the adop-
ton OF FIVE mills was-ayes, IS; noes, %.
The city tax rate was also fixed not to ex-
coed ten mills on the dollar. The minority
protested. Notices Of motions to reconsider
IN both cases we're given, but the indications
are that the action OF to-day will be sus-
tanned, g.

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1879.
ss.2 r ar5af 400 SENATE.
Mr.. Davis, Of West Virginia, from the
Committee on Appropriations, stated that
the committee was not able. in view OF the
state OF business before the Senate, to re-
port the resolution fixing the date OF adj
iournment. bus hoped to be. able to do so
soon. III
Mr.. Wallacerose to privileged question,
and presented the report OF the conference
committee on the acknowledgements bill and
asked it's present consideration.
Mr.. Conkling said that he did not know
how far the committee had confined them
selyesto adjusting the disaSreeing vote, and
objected to considering the report in view
OF the understanding on the army bill; that
| il another misunderstanding arose aby req.
| son Of crowding out debatethe Republicans
would not be to blame. ,g,i..' u l.. ~
| After an animated discussion. Mr.. Wal
lace withdrew the report, and Mr.. ,Carpen-
ter proceeded to. speak on the army bill.
Mr.. Carpenter argued that the 5th section
OF the present bill would prevent the Pre-
sident from using troops at polls even W hen
called on by u State, since the army, ii used
at all, must necessarily be used as police
force. He also criticized the language OF this
| section as ambiguous, aud indefinite, and
| QenleQ tDaC the presence OF lew -sOtQieFs
in the vicinity OF the polls would be a men
| ace to, any: honest.yoter. He ;continuedto
speak at considerable length, but on ground
covered for the most part by previous de-
bates.
Mr.. ingalls, then read speech sustaining
the Presidents action In vetoing the appro-
pliation bills, during which there was some
desultory discussion OF the Charge made by
Dir. ingalls, that southern Democrats intimi-
dated colorcd Republicans, and that this
was the cause OF the Kansas exodus.

Mr.. Goode, Of Virginia, from the Com
mittee on Epidemic Diseases, reported a
bill appropriating $4,000 for the establish
inent Of quarantine hospital in Hampton
Roads, Va. Referred to the Committee OF
the Whole. .-.
The Speaker then called for reports Of a
private character, and the bill for extending
the patent OF Daniel M. Cook for cVaporat-
ing cane Juice was amended so as to pro-
hibit suits for infringement prior TO this
act. and then passed. .-'.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The minority Of
the House Judiciary Committee presented
to-day report upon the presidential veto
Of the legislative bill, in opposition to the
majority report recently submltted bv M.
Proctor Knott and previously telesraphed.
| The minority discaim any intention OF say

supervisors are necessity at congressional

noring the real point and basing their re-
port upon the assumption that the PreS-
dent advocates the use OF Federal authority
to supervise State elections. Interference
with State elections was necessary during
the war, and Mcclellan 10 quoted, under
date OF October, 1861. when he called for
troops 10 preserve the peace at the polls in
MARYLAND, to show that the use OF the army
has not been partisan measure, but safe.

upon the ground that Il they could pro.
hibit the sale Of intoxicating drinks, there
would be no more drunkenness, and the
work OF reform void be complete, Hence
hanging rumsellers has been advocated as
the suitable penalty for their oitenses, and
as the appropriate remedy Tor intemper'
ance. This d Gen. Neal Dow's specific,
and his views are potential on the subject.
In view OF Gov. GRrcel0n's disclosures
there Is demand for something more Of
iectlye than the hand Of the exeCutioner,
or, II that Is TO be the accepted agent fot
curlingone kind OF intemperance, and Is
effective, ltshould be prescribed for the
dealers In opium and tobacco.
There can be no question that opium.
eating has increased 10 a fearful extent.
Not long since from Staunton, Va, q con.
ference OF druggists reported that the ratio
OF increase OF sales In 1877 over 1875 was
o. per cent, and in 1879 over the preceding
year 80 per cent That was another sec
ton OF the country, and was thought to be
q peculiar characteristic Of the Shenan'
doah valley. But we will venture the as.
sertion that the percentage OF increase In
Maine has been quite as large and that the
sales OF druggists since the prohibitory
legislation has been in vogue will so show,
II such Is the fact, the change from the
use Of intoxicating liquors to opium is fat
from being an improvement, Gov, Garce'
lon has done the people good service by
directing attention to new channels Of In.
quiry. II followed up It will be found
that the "Maine law" has not been the
grand instrument Of reform claimed In Il.
behalf, and that, after all that can be said
and done to correct personal and social
evils, nothing Is so effective as good ex'
ample and an appeal to the higher nature
OF the individual and society.

and smoking, he says snuG.dipping is be.

himself, this fact many are ignorant O, and
1t excites surprise. The use OF opiates has
also increased TO an alarming extent,

It's understood that at the late meeting
OF the Trustees Of the Mutual Life Insur.
ance Company Of New York, the commit.
tee which has had the subject of retrench.
ment in expenses under consideration for
the past two months, made a report, in
which important economies were recon.
mended. The report is stated to have re.
ceived the unanimous concurrence Of the
Board.
The principal features of the recon.
mendations made by the committee re.
lated to reduction in salaries, adyertis.
ing, printing, law, medical and other ex.
penSes.
The purpose Of the committee is repre-.
sented to have been, after full consnlta.
ton with officers OF the company, TO so
adjust tho economies proposed as not to
impair in any way the capacity OF the in.
stitation to conduct its business in the
most effective and successful manner, Il
Is said that the chief officers OF the com.
pany, including the President, ex.
pressed desire to the commit.
tee that they should participate
in any sacrifice that might be deem.
ed advisable, in order to adjust the scale
Of expenditure to meet any prospective
diminutlon Of income from the reduced
rate OF premiums recently adopted, or
from the depressed condition OF the mon.
ey market in causing the rate Of interest
on investments to recede below existing
rates.
AS this company has, for many years,
computed Its surplus upon basis Of an In.
come ottour per cent from investments, Il
seems pretty well entrenched as against
any further probable decline in the value
Of money, 50 that the economies to be put
In practice will result In an augmentation
Of dividends to the poIlcy.holder, in excess
OF what they would otherwise have been,

DEAR Miss: Mr.. Thomas delivered
to me the pair of worsted socks which
YOU did me the honor to present to me.
j thank you most cordially for this in
I(sresting testimonial of your consider
ation of me, and for the friendly senti-
ments with which you have accompani-
ed it. In frmness and evennesS of
thread and neatness of appearance they
excel any that l ever seen. Mrs. Clay,
who has supplied me many years with
seeks, wrought by her own hands from
the best Merino wool, acknowledges
the superiority of yours. l shall wear
them with added pleasure from their
being the production of one of my fair
countrywomen, and of the daughter of
a valued friend. Next to Intellectual
attainments there is none, possessed by
your sex, which more strongly recon-
mend you to the regard of those among
ours, who are worthy Of your notice,
than that of industry, with its usual
concomitant economy. That you may,
in due time, meet with one capable of
Justly approaching your good qualities,
and entitled in return, to your warmest
affection, is the fervent wish of your
friend and obedient servant, H. CLAY.
