Both of thcBo provisions are so manifest^ jost in themselves that there ?s scarcely a doubt of the bill passing both branohes without oppo? sition. The position of Private Secretary of thc Governor in the reorganization of the State government is an extremely trying one. Much of the work that was formerly attended to by the Legislature, under the new consti? tution in imposed upon tho Governor, requir? ing no mean ability as well aa experience to have it properly executed. While the appoint? ment of Mr. John Heart gave very genoral satisfaction to all parties, events have shown that the Governor has been most fortunate in securing his services. The labors of the office frequently require his attendance between fif? teen and sixteen hours out ot every twenty four.

This tax was paid by the petitioners. Subsequently, by order of General Ganny, this tax was reduced to twenty cents on the hun? dred dolla?. The petitioners claim that jus? tice and equity require that the excess.of taxes over and above the tax of twenty eenie on the hundred dollars paid by them should bo re? funded. Your committee are of the opinion that the prayer of the petitioners ought not to be granted. The tax paid by the petitioners was lawfully assessed and collected. .General Can by, wi .o subsequently became the supreme power of the State, carefully considered the whole matter and concluded to reduce the tax to ho levied in future, but did not provide for refunding any taxes already paid. Your com? mittee think it would now be uuwise to attempt to reconsider the action of General Canby. The door would ho opened too widely for simi? lar claims to.be made by other parties. The condition of the Treasury of the State will not warrant any action wbioh diminishes the funds ol tho State, except upon the most imperative considerations of legal right. They therefore resp jctfolly recommend that the petitioners havo leave to withdraw petitions. The recommendation contained in the report was adopted. DeLargo also submitted the following report: The Committee of Ways and Means, to whom was referred the returns of receipts and ex? penditures of the estate of De La Howe; also, the report of the trustees of said estate, and the Lethe farm, beg leave most respectfully to report, that they have carefully examined said accounts, and find them correct.
