implicate you in the late assault of Lawrence
upon the President of the United States, to

Mr.. Smith, the Chairman Of the Committee.
made the following report TO the Senate:
81 am instructed by the Select Committee to
whom the letter Of the Hon. George Poindexter
was referred, 10 state 10 the Senate that we have
closed the examination Of the testimony, which
is voiuminous, and that it will require sometime
to make detailed report of it.
As the C Committee are informed that that Sena.
tor has left his seat in the Senate pending the
examination, they think il due to him and to tho
Senate TO communicate the conclusion TO which
they have arrived, that from the evidence before
them, not shade of suspicion rests upon his
character in reference TO the subject matter Of
inquiry, and in this conclusion all the members
of the committee concur. The committee will
hand in detailed account as soon as practical

We will yet forbear the expression of the feel
ings to which the infamous conspiracy against the
character and feelings of Gov. Poindexter call
forth. This examination was not necessary TO
satisfy those who know that much injured and
distinguished Senator. Had he been less firm,
less devoted TO the of truth and Of liberty
bad he been the tool Of power, or could he have
accommodated his actions 30 the sel6shness Of
party, he would have been spared the ordeal
through which he has passed, but the poisoned
chaice is returned TO the lips of his prosecutors
We arc glad TO find that the press elsewhere
speaks OF this most disgraceful outrage in terms
which il merits.

take very great pleasure in informing you,
that the bill TO enable the Chesapeake and Ohio

The bill guarantees the payment OF the interest
upon a sum not exceeding $500. 900, for term
not longer than twenty. five years, at rate Of
interest not exceeding per cent. II has yet to
receive the concurrence Of the Senate which
body has been, in remarkable degree, favora-
BILE 10 all internal improvement bills during the
present session.
Both houses Of the Assembly are laboring hard
TO terminate the session at the earliest day pos
sbie. The resolution TO adjourn on Saturday,
you will observe, has been rcscinded. II may
venture a surmisc as to the time Of adjournment,
fix about Thursday or Friday next.
The Genaral Road Bill, which passed this
house, also awaits the action Of the Senate. The
impression is, that it will pass that body, and
become the settled Road law OF the State. Its

pecally to the people Of the Valley and the

voluminous, and would require much time TO

had refrained from taking his seat until the ex-
animation should have been closed, he was in-
