Tna Missouri Legislature permanently organ- 

 ized on the 28th ult, by the election of Mr. Coffey, 

 Dem., as Speaker, Mr. Mosely, Clerk of the House, 

 and Mr. Hough, Clerk of the Senate. The Gov- 

 ernor's Message says the amount received from the 

 Treasury for the two years ending Oct. 1st, was 

 $1,861,000, and the expenditures, $1,132,000. Iu 

 speaking of railroad*, he says : The amount loaned 

 by tbe State is 124,860,000, of which bonds have 

 been issued to the amount of $10,056,000. leaving 

 an amount due of $5,604,000. The geographical 

 survey is progressing rapidly and disclosing ex 

 hauslk'ss quantities el iron, lead, copper and coal. 

 Some additional legislation is suggested in order 

 to harmonize the different interests growing out of 

 the Banking law. As an evidence of the advance 

 of education, the Governor soys the number of 

 public school bouses has increased from 1,500 to 

 of money raised for building 

 school houses from $80,000 to $180,000. The es 

 liilili^liini.'iit i>l mi agricultural college is urged.

 both parties, no provision was inserted prescribing
