Harrisburg. April 21.--The session OF
the general assembly Gf 1879 adjourned
finally at noon after having been in
session little over 3ia months. The
session was ont of the rh3rtest in the
states history and was frauSht with IN
terest throughout by reason of the spir-
tied contest for United States senator
1t closed without the election of sue
cessor to Matthew Stanley Quay, and
unless Governor Stone calls an extra
session at which there should be an cleo
ton PENNSYLVANIA will have only one
representative in the United States SEN
ate the next two years.
On account of the failure of the legls-
lature to pass such Legislation as would
have wiped out the deficiency OF $3.-
500, 900 in the state treasury and covered
the estimated ordinary expenses of the
state government for the next two
years, it is not improbable that an ex-
ira session will be called.
The mercantile tax bill was the most
important of the numerous schemes for
raising revenue that passed potn
branches and went to the governor for
MS action.
The bills taxing foreign and domes-
tic beer and manufacturing corpora
lions were defeated the former in the
senate and the latter in the house, as
was also the revenue bill framed by the
Pennsylvania state tax conference. Ihe
tax conference bill has been before ev-
cry session in the past eight years, ana
it has always failed in the senate IN the
closing hours of the session.
The Legislature has left multitude or
the bills with the governor for his ac-
ton, large majority of them being ap-
preparations for privat Acharities. The
session wds remarkable aside from the
long senatorial deadlock, in that 1t
passed few bills of general interest.
