FOR TEE SPECTATOR.

FOR TEE SPECIA1OH.
Since the Rat-boat Edward Coles left
this place to cruise on the w abash, the
barge Joseph Phillips, which she was
expected to fall in with on her voyage,
(lhe two antagonists having passed each
other in iop) has touched at this place,
10 follow her on her cruise on the Wa
bash, with the expectation that her polling
commander and !o5lolly boys will be ex-
pert in clearing the shoals and quick
sands on the coast, SO that she, with her
high sailing commander, and Tennessee
chart, viii be enabled to &c, through and
return safe in the course Of this Writer.
Dy the time they return and recruit, the
spring rains may be expen.ed, which
will enable the Steam SHIP NiNIAN
ED WARDS to put to sea without being
in danger of laundering on the before
mentioned shoals and quicksands. In
which case the two former will nos Pro-
bably venture to sail out of sight OF land
again, as it is believed they will not be
able to obtain crews who are disposed TO
enccuntcr SO formidable an enemy. Il
is expected, however, the bakers and
disti!lcrs, at Vandalia, and other places,
will keep Oh hand constant supply oil
gingerbread and whiskey, that those po-
litical cruisers, may be enabled to get a
supply Of that kind of ammunition with
out being detained. NEPTUNE, ,Jr.

Journals Of the last session Of The
Legislature.-As frequent communica-
tons nave been made to us upon this
subject, we state for the information oil
all concerned, that the Journals OF both
Houses were completed about the mid
die of October last, and delivered to the
Secretary ofStatc. That they have not,
before this lime, been distributed through
the different counties, is not fault of
ours-our contract extended only to the
printing, and not the delivery Of them.

is formed Of tho manner and style in
which the books are kept, will depend
upon the intelligence, the preludices, or
partialiiies, of tic different examiners /;
but, when the same person examines a
number of Offices, the same intelligence
is exercised in each case, exempt, too,
from partially OF prejudice, when the
examiner IS not a teighbor or connection
Of the officer. The impressions pro-
duced upon the officers themselves by
the mode which las been practised since
1915, prove incobtestibly its superiority
over the other. An examination now is
not matter of form. The time the ex-
aminer is to arrive is unknown. When
he does arrive the examination imme-
diately commences, and is continued,
without relaxation, until it is completed.
When the examination is made by the
neighbors of the officers, the time of ex-
animation depends upon the convenience
of the latter, as there is nothing to induce
the examiners to proceed to the exami-
nation at one time in preference to an
other.
1t is also an object Of spne Importance
that the examiner shouia communicate
conhdcntially many things that he would
not be willing to incorporate in his re-
port, and which it would even be i'm
proper to incorporate. I The value Of
such communications will depend entire
ly upon the knowledge which the heat
Of the department has of the character O
the person who makes them.

cARvER's GRANT.


Mr.. WalwortA laid upon the table a
resolution calling on the Treasury De-
partment, for information respecting the
claims of Jonathan Carver, to certain
lands near the Mississippi, said TO have
been granted him by the Indians.
January %.
The resolution submitted yesterday,
calling for information respecting the
pretended grant of lands to Jonathan
Carver, near the Falls of ST. Anthony,
was taken up for consideration. 1t is
generally known said Mr.. Walworth,
the mover, that in the year 1866 Carver
visited some part Of the Upper Lakes,
and pretended to have there received the
grant in question from the Indians. In
formation on this subject, he said, could
be had, he believed, from the Depart
ment of State. For the purpose OF hav-
ing full information on this subject be-
fore the House, that the nation might be
in possession Of facts, he had moved the
resolution.
Mr.. Golden moved to strike out tre-
tended grant and substitute" claim
made by Mr.. Garner"
Mr.. Yalworth said, he was Indifferent
about the terms of the resolution. He
stated that he knew the agents Of Carver's
heirs were distributed in different parts
of the United States, vending these
lands: one Of his neighbors had recently
been defrauded, by paying 100 pounds,
and another he knew had paid 5000 dol
lars for these lands, said to belong to
Carver. After few words from Mr..
Tracy the resolution, as modified, was
adopted.
January so.
The Speaker laid before the House
the following letter from the Secretary
Of the Treasury:

Our town was last week honored by short
visit from the Hon. JOSEPH pi!iLLiPS.-Al-
though personally unscquainted with him. we
have learned with regret, that, permitting his
spleen 10 sway his Judgment, he did not hest
tate to bestow a few bal-room compliments
upon the editor of this paper; which, from
two Occupations for explanation, appear to have
been given in an unguarded moment The
honorable Judge cannot be IGNORANT that the
editor is peaceable man. and for this rea-
son we cannot conceive why so much alarm
should have been excited. The circumstance
ought to serve as moral lesson to his honor,
never to speak Of person in his absence,
that which he would be ashamed to avow in
his presence. He should, more over, bear in
mind, that while VIC have permitted our cor
respondents to examine his pretepsions to the
Office ofchesmagistrate pro. and con. we have
been disposed to be silent ourselves. And it
is for him to judge whether he can derive any
advantage by personal alteration with the
editor Of a newspaper.
Mr.. Crawford's letter on the sub icct of the
examination of land Offices, which " publish
with the congressional proceedings, has ex-
cited some surprise among our citizens, owing,
it is believed, to a misspprehension of its i'm
port, from the obscurity and ambiguity in
which the terms of the document appear. 1t
was our first impression, upon reading this let
ter, that the Secretary AYERS that Judge Tho
mas had made no charge, and would receive
no compensation, for examining the land Offices
during the last year; and we Immediately call
ed upon the Receiver Of Public Moneys at this
place, for permission to copy, for publication,
the receipt given by Judge Thomas, for the
sum of Two Hundred Dollars, advanced to him
on account of services rendered in examining
the Edwardsville Land Office, by virtue of"a
letter of credit" from the Secretary Of the
Treasury. But the Receiver, conceiving it
might be deemed improper on his part, de-
clined to grant the permission lie informed
