505. The total cost of prosecuting erim- inals was, in the same time, increased from $86,080 to $192,003. The governor appeals to the legislature to apply some remedy to the disorders and disregard of law in some localities, to pass additional laws to reach the outbreaks and seeret ven- geance of evil-disposed persons. "Mueh of this lawlessness has been provoked and aggravated by the unwarranted interfer- ence of Federal authority in our local af- fairs, and its intrusive assumption of juris- diction in administering the laws of this commonwealth." "Citizens who had been arrested and held for trial by the state tri- bunals, for offenses against colored persons, have been seized by Federal officers, taken to distant places, deprived of the right of trial by jury of the vicinage, subjected to great annoyance and expense, and some- times to onerous and unreasonable penal- ties."

Jan. 16-Mordecai Williams decided, by a vote of 74 to 14, to be the legally elected representative to the house from Boyd, Carter, and part of Elliott counties ; sus- taining the majority report, which found that at the election in August Williams had received 1,504 and Capt. W. W. Cul- bertson 1,500 votes. [They had been re- ported as having an equal number of votes; and thus being a "tie," there was a dis- puted and unsatisfactory attempt to decide "by lot," according to law.

Jan. 17-Bank of Ky. agrees to buy from the commissioners of the sinking fund all of the state stock in said bank, 7,789 shares, at $112 per share ; and agrees to take in all state bonds due and to become due in 1872-3. The stock amounted to $872,368, the bonds to $665,000-leaving $207,368 to be paid in moncy.

Jan. 20-A special auditor's report to the senate shows that $128,300 were paid for interest by the state, during the year ending Oet. 10, 1871.

Jan. 22-Gov. Leslie, by special mes- sage, calls attention of the legislature to the fact that for want of a law to sell lands to pay taxes (except at the end of 6 years ), there is now due to the state $318,354 of uncollected revenue, since 1862. [The legislature accordingly changed the rev- enue laws, so as to prevent such delinquen- cies hereafter.]

Jan.27 -- Thehouse appointed the speaker, Jas. B. McCreary, and C. Columbus Scales, Wm. A. Hoskins, Jos. C. S. Blackburn, E. F. Waide, and Wm. Cassins Goodloe a com- mittee to invite the grand duke of Russia, Alexis, to visit Frankfort, and to tender to him and his suite the privileges of the hall of the bruse of representatives during their stay.

Feb. 1-A bill to repeal the 10-per-cent. conventional interest law of March 14, 1871, was laid on the table, in the house, by 62 to 27.

Feb. 1-Rev. Dr. H. A. M. Henderson, superintendent of publie instruction, com- municates to the house of representatives the astounding fact that-in consequence

Feb. 8-In the senate, the bill to estab- lish a bureau of immigration and labor was rejected-yeas 18, nays 13, a constitutional majority (20) not having voted therefor. The bill proposed to establish the bureau at Louisville, in charge of a commissioner (with $3,000 salary), who should appoint an agent at New York city (with $2,500 salary), and two agents (with salaries in gold of $3,000 each, and $1,000 each for traveling expenses) in Europe, to influence immigration to Ky. direct. The cominis- sioner shall collect statistics of the agricul- tural, mineral, manufacturing, and other re- sources of Ky., and prepare maps, pamph- lets, circulars, and publications in several different languages adapted to general eir- culation in Europe, containing needed in- formation about the geography, climate, resources, and prospects of the state. [The bill is well-guarded, liberal, and politie ; upon a subject earnestly commended by the governor to legislative action. The report of the anthor of the bill, Alfred T. Pope, senator from the 37th district (in Louisville), is one of the ablest, most com- prehensive, and statesmanlike documents ever presented to a legislative body. The sudden emancipation of 205,781 slaves, worth $107,494,527, struck down our in- dustrial system. The tastes and circum- stances of the colored population led them to crowd into the cities and towns ; in only 21 of which the increase in ten years, from 1860 to 1870, was 20,567, or over 133 per eent., while that of the white population was less than 38 per cent. The white population of the state increased 165,327, or over 14 per cent., while the black popu- lation decreased over 7 per cent. during that decade. The foreign immigration through the port of New York alone, in 23 years, from May 5, 1847, to Jan. 1, 1870, was 4.297,980, of which only 11,657 came to Ky., although nearly 5 times that number eame via New Orleans and other ports. The increase of foreign born population in Ky. from 1860 to 1870 was only 6 per cent .; a fact irresistible to prove that nothing short of energetic personal effort ean turn the tide of immigrants to Kentucky.]

Feb. 9-The house, by 56 to 15, defeated a bill, which had passed the senate, ex- tending the time indefinitely in which 5 corporations doing a banking and insur- ance business in Louisville might separate and invest their funds as required by the insurance law of March 12.1870. The com- mittee on insurance reported the aggregate available assets, with which to pay losses by fire, including capital stock, of these 5 corporations, $1,378,204 on Dec. 31, 1870- and the aggregate amount insured by them, nearly all in the city of Lousville, $16,- 968,740, or more than 12 times the avail- able assets.

Feb. 10-Legislature, since Dec. 4, has

He was the founder of the present Rodman family, which numbers 45 in Frankfort alone. He was president of the Frankfort branch of the Bank of Ky., but never held a public office. Feb. 14-The legislature adjourned to attend his funeral.

Feb. 13-Fire at Sharpsburg, Bath co .; Presbyterian church and 5 of the best business buildings burned.

Feb. 13-Mardi-Gras ball at the Capital Hotel, Frankfort.

Feb. 13-The Cincinnati Southern rail- way bill becomes a law. Authorizes its trusters to acquire the right of way and to extend a railway across Ky. towards Chat- tanooga, through any of 39 counties named (those on the southern border are from Monroe east, to Josh Bell.) The charge for transportation not to exceed 35 cents per 100 pounds on heavy.articles for each 100 miles, nor 4 cents per mile for pas- sengers ; [special tax levied of 50 cents for each through passenger, 25 cents'for each passenger for 100 miles in Ky.] and 1 cent for each 100 pounds of through freight ; [it further requires one or more lines to be surveyed from Cincinnati, via Nicholasville and Danville, in the direction of Sparta, Tenn. - the citizens of Cincinnati after- wards to select, by their votes, the route ;] and also reserves the right to change, alter or modify the act, and to regulate, by gen- eral laws, the charges for freight and pas- sengers. The bill passed the house, Jan. 13, yeas 59, nays 38, without the amend- ments embodied above-which were added in the senate ; in which body the bill passed Jan. 27, by yeas 19, nays 19, and the cast- ing vote of Lieut. Gov. John G. Carlisle. Feb. 1, the house concurred in the amend- ments, by 66 and 69 in favor, and 19 against. March 25, an amended act re- pealed the two restrictions enclosed in brackets [ ] above.

Feb. 15-The house, by 78 to 1, sustains Gov. Leslie's veto of the act to incorporate the town of Smith's Grove, Warren co., because of extraordinary provisions, and of changes in general law ; and, March 12, unanimously (68 voting) sustains his veto of the act to incorporate the Falls City Levee and Bridge Company. March 2, the senate unanimously (26 voting) sus- tains his veto-because it authorizes the taking of private property for public use without previous compensation-of an act to amend the charter of the Elizabethtown, Lexington and Big Sandy Railroad Com- pany ; and also, March 27, by 16 to 9- because exceptional and unconstitutional- his veto of an act to amend the charter of the city of Lexington, so as to continue the councilmen in office for four years after their present time expires, March, 1873, and enable the board to perpetuate itself by filling all vacancies.

Feb. 15-While a house bill to repeal section 9 of the act incorporating the free Public Library of Ky. was pending in the senate, Dec. 19, it was further amended by repealing part of section 7, which author- izes "5 public literary, musical, or dramatic entertainments, at which they may dis- tribute, by lot, to patrons of the entertain- ments, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of tickets of admission." But on Feb. 15, the senate withdrew the bill from the house, and by a vote of 18 to 12, receded from the amendment, leaving undisturbed the special privilege above. [On Feb. 25, 1871, the original bill passed the house without a count of the vote, and, March 3, the senate, by yeas 22, nays 9; and became a law March 6, 1871, "the governor having failed to sign or return as required by the constitution."]
