In the following states legislative sessions are held biennially, viz: Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Michigan, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessec, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. If any discrepancy is found between this list and the Synopsis of State Constitutions in the body of this work, the list here given may be regarded as most reliable.

ministers received salaries of $9,000, and an outfit equal to one year's salary; and charges d'affaires received half as much. The salaries have been materially increased, but the outfits are no longer allowed. Consuls are numerous. Some of them receive salaries, others fees of specified amount for the several acts of service performed.
