OF these statesmen was Ex-Governor
Henry a. Wise. who. probably. was the
best Informed public man OF his day on
the oyster subject. But the results always
stayed on the paper. They never reached
the state Treasury. The illusion is now a
part Of the general scheme and disposition
of the Legislature TO raise more revenue
instead OF economizlng that which we
already have. Great expectations of re-
suits are INDUCED from MIR. LeCato's bill,
now pending in the Senate. but IT is yet
prOblematical whether IT will add any
thing to our resources, II. indeed, it does
not prove burden TO the State. as is the
case with the present law. Our revenue
from oysters last year was $4,000. while
our expenses I'm that direction were Sl.
