A mass of acts of pIrely local iap - plicationi were approved, but few laws >f of State-wide iiportaice were en acted. This Legislature has ben UInc of controversy, with smal accom pislish ments of a real constructive nature, but, accofling to the consensus of opinion ,the rejection of legislation of ordinary character is of more salutary benefit to the State than the enact iment of the various proposed laws. Before the sun rose this morning the conferees on the general appro priation bill had agreed anid it Was reported to both houses. They adolpt ed the report and sent it to the Gov I ernor, wearied fromn his long wait, but he approved it. The General As semlibly then ceased its business. 11 The bill as adopted carries a Ilvy I- of not exceeding II mills and has a total of appropriations of $6,534,92. 87, hastily tabulated. This is a reduC tion over the lilouse hill and that of the Senate. The Hlouse bill carried a - total of $6,5641,361.71. Last year the fina nce liill carried aplwopriat ions aV gregating $416,11,1 !, a decrease of ap - proximately $500,000 under those of' e this year.
