\ REsosITyoS for ans d's Adjournment
one week from to-morrOw, on ttse 18th
Of May, says the Pittsburg Post las pas
eed iS,th branches of the legislature;
and ae it will he difficult ~ rcscind this
JOINT action, adjournment at the time
indicated may De- hooked for. The im-
portant busiaees of the session IS IN ar
reas, and after having waited four
months Of time, with three working
days n week out Of six, there Is just now
IA great pretense Of the energetic des-
patch Of business. II is largely sham.
The fact Is that great number of mem
bers, if not q meiority, do not desire
action on the most important bills pend
ing, and seek their defeat by adjourn
ment rather than a direct vote. 1t l. so
easy to tell the people they would have
voted for such and such bill had IL
come up, but unfortunately pressure
of business threw il over.
Ballot reform, n constitutional con-
apportionments, the bill regulating pipe
line charges, the bills to make more eff
fective the mining laws of the State in
guarding human life, as well as other
measures, are likely 10 be killed by de-
lay, and these comprise the important
matters presented To the legislature
when il met nearly five months ago.
They were the pressing issues from the
day the two houses were organized.
Take the bill for an equalization of taxes,
10y which personal and corporate prop
erty was to be made to pay its just share
of the public burdens. Both parties are
pledged TO it. The question has been
twice been referred to commissions, and
has passed the legislature twice. On
one occasion it was declared void by the
courts on an amendment inserted III the
bill by its enemies, and on another was
defeated by failure of Legislative officials
to properly certify it to the governor.
We have no doubt they pocketed corpor-
alton money aS the price of their treach-
cry. Two months ago bill TO provide
the tax reform demanded by the people
after thorough consideration passed the
assembly, and since then has been pig
eon-h6led in Senate committee, subject
TO the well-planned assaults of all man
ner of lobbyists, as well As protesting
delegations deceived as to the character
of the bill. Most likely it was impcr-
feet rs it passed the House, but no at
tempt has been made in good faith to
better it in the Senate. On the con
trary a great hullabaloo has been kept
up to defeat the bill in lis entirety as an
attack on the sacred rights of property,
the real intent being to exempt corpor-
ations and certain descriptions of prop
erty from their just share of taxation.
This bill is to be killed by indirection,
and direct vote avoided. It is sam
pei of the way this inefficient and spine
less legislature has met the important
question the people sent to it.

Editor Cambria Freeman:
DEAR SIE:-So much has been said and
written as TO the manner in which Gener-
al Jackson met his death in the engage
ments around Charlottesville that is
doubtful or pure invention, that a true
version of the affair may Hot be uninter-
eSting or unacceptable To many Of your
readers. 1t happened in this wise: In
stead of riding TO the front 10 reconoiter
the enemy, and then imprudently galloping
back 10 his own line, General jackson was
slowly riding To the front, while making
every effort TO hurry forward the troops,
when he was fred on by a portion OF his
men on the right (south) of the road, and
obliquely from the rear, and then the horses
of his party that were not shot down
wheeled to the left, and he galloped into
the woods on the left to escape the fire,
when fired upon by another body of his
troops on the north side of the road. Ii
was by this last fire that General Jackson
was wounded, and by his own command.
Thus effectually disposing OF the oft-re-
peated stories of his being shot by fedora
pickcts, having vcnturcd unawares too near
their lines. or that he was wounded by a
shell fired by a federal battery.

Reciprocity Raised "A Row.

BERIIS, May 10. The concessions
made by Spain to the United States in
the reciprocity treaty negotiated 10y Gen
trail John ". Foster rendered difficult any
treaty with the European powers.
Spain has agreed TO give on imports into
Cuba and Port Rico differential rate of
% per cent. against similar imports
from all other countries, whether or not
they conclude treaties with Spain.
Such privilege, constituting prac-
teal customs union between the United
States and the Spanish Antilles, blocks
further negotiations which the German
Ambassador has undertaken simultane-
ously with the Austrian, Italian and
Belgian Ministers. Spain has been in
vited To send delegate to the customs
conference at Vienna, where a solution
of the difficulty might be discussed.

hanging in the cellar of their house,
three miles northwest of this town. It

husband was sent to the insane asylum
about q week ago, aud this series of
murders and suicide shows that the wife
should have accompanied him, as she
must have been violently insane.
