Our Slate buildings and exhibits are a credit to the Slate. I We have been very busy lince ! we came back from Charleston.' Vf have wotked almost day and I night. The appropriation bill hae passed the House. 1 theught we would tie able to decrease the Slate levy to mills hut after increasing the pension bill to two hundred thousand dollars, and this being election year, which will cost about twenty-five thou and dollars, tba ways aad means committee feued lhut they could boI gel the leey below the S mills, the 11 la?t year's. The sup- , ply hill psssed its second reading ia the hum today. The levy j for Lascsster oeuaty is for erui- ' eary purposes, 4 mills; for laterest L>n railroad bonds i*t-ued in aid of 1 Oheraw and Cheater railroad, 3 mult.; for ratireing bonds issued aid of the Cheraw and Chester "ailroad, and to be used fer ao jther purpose, one mill; fer the payment of interest on townsnip Donds issued in aid of Charlesten, Jiucinnali and Chicago railreao, ibe following special taxes are sereby imposed; in Flessanl iiill Township, 3 mills; in Gills Greek township, mills, and in Dana Craok township, t>+ mills. Wa killed Mr. DnBruhl'a bill m tha House forbidding certain foraign cerperations doing busisass within this State. This was sne of the most drastic measures in my opinion eeer introduced in the Legislature. If pasred it would have prohibited th? Haile Gold Vine doing busintss in this State, and would have prohibited merchants from buying goods from corporations outside of the State that are not incorporated ia .ha State. 1 am not in favor of giving cerporatieas teo much lower but 1 am not in /aver of Irtving capital nut of tha State, lor in favor ?f keeping it from oming into the State; bat let it :onsply with the ate laws.
