~ signed by large number of free-holders
OF the county Of Lucas, in the state of Ohio,
has been filed in the office of the clerk of the
court of common pleas ofsaid county ,remonstr-
atlng againstthe decision ofthe commissioners
appointed by the general assembly of the state
of Ohio, to locate the seat of Justice of said
county and setting forththat the commission
ers, aforesaid ,haye overlooked the true and per-
manent interests of the county--that they
have rejected propositions the most favorable
to the county, wherby the good people there
ofwonld be greatly relieved from abheayy tax
alton, their public grounds secured upon the
eligible site,ahd their public buildings erected
free of any cost to them. That they have
chosen point far removed from the centre

locate he seat of Justice aforesaid, on an elli-

to be drained of their specie, had re.
markable effect upon the com0nnity
which is evinced in the congratulations
every where exchanged, and in feeling
Of safety and confidence which seemed
to prevail throughout the day as if ain i'm
pending evilhad been suddenly removed
and the public mind had been relieved
from from some ss,l nndefed weight Of apprehen-
sion. This feeling was particularly man.
llested in the conversation Of our men of
business generally, who talk OF the brigt-
enlng prospect, with look of confidence
and satisfaction, such as has not been
witnessed in this community for length
OF time. All seemed TO look upon the tenn
porary suspension of specie payments,
under existing circumstances, as a step
OF wise precaution, and as furnishing the
surest evidence that the crisis had passed.
So'many persist in considering the pro-
cteedlngs of yesterday as the harbinger Of
better things. that we cheefully acoaiesce
in the gratifying belief On this subject
the N. Y. Express Of yesterday says:
sin 1915, when our banks were COM
PEELED to refuse specie payments every
thing went on better than it did before.
All money matters were easier, and the |
public experienced no inconvenience.-l
Alterthe U. States Bank was organised,
specie payments were resmed through
the country without the least difficulty. |

witnessing your progress in improvements, and

having a wish to stop at the Washington

(who brought US, from the head ofthe rapids)
to take three of US to that house, to which he
made no objections, untiIarriving opposite the
Central House, where the door Of the carriage
was thrown open, for US to get out, we stated
that we wished togoto the Washington house,
fFhe driver swore he. would not go there. We
told him twas customary to take passengers
to such houses as they chose to stop at. Af-
ter much foul language, and a threat to upset
he drove down. Now would suggest the
propriety of your having stage driver that

HURoN, OHo.-This unpretendina
place, we are pleased to learn, is "goine
aheadsat pace quite equal to that ol
the most favored cities and towns of the
lakes--the surprising creations of the
great internal commerce of the west.--
The facilities for ship building there are
great, and have been improved to con-
siderable extent; while the location OF
the place in the midst of rich farming
section, secures TO it all the supplies ne
cessary to the comfort Of its increasing
population, and the advancement Of its
commercial interests.
The United States Government is al
so laying out large amount of money,
under the superintendence of Mr.. John
B. Wilbnr, in improving the harbor, &c,
which when completed, cannot fail Of
adding greatly 10 the advantages Of Hu-
ron. &
And here we would add, en- passant,
as a matter that will doubtless CRAFTY
many persons here, that our worthy fei-
low-citizen, MI. Joseph Osborn, has been
selected by MI. WiIbor as superinten-
dentaor foreman under him, in the con-
;truction Of the Government works. A
better selection than this could not have
been made, as Mr.. Osborn's long expe-
,ience here, in the building Of the Black
Rock Pier, has well qualified him to take
;harge of the work committed to him.

SToppAGE OF THE EBANKs.-The banks
in the city Of NewsYork have suspend
ed specie payments. Those in different
parts ofNhe state have mostly followed
their example. The doors OF the banks
at Buffalo have been closed by injunc-

and most Of the Washington banks have
also refused to redeem their notes with
specie. The western institutions have
closed their doors. Detroit, Monroe,
Cleveland, and many other western

a bank. Stoppages are as familiar as

OF The following article, taken from the
Toledo Gazette of the god, contains preci-
ons confession. We advise our readers to
examine it carefully. Is it possible, that the
editor of the Gazette, has at last discovered
that there is navigation from the city of Tole-
do to the foot of the rapids? After having
been engaged for years in proving the contra
ry, does he now give it upa Can't he believe
his own statements or, has he learned that
thoy went 60 down with the public!
"CANAL IN INDrANA.--We learn from
several gentlemen residing at Fort
Wayne, that the Wabash and Erie Ca
nal lis completed and navigable from
Fort Wayne to Lagro. a distance Of for
miles--thatitis is nearly completed to
Logansport, distance of forty miles
more, and will unquestionably be in rea-
diness to be navigated in the fall. This,
with steamboat from the head Of the
rapids, when the canal shall be completed
from Fort Wayne to Logansport, will

from the city Of New York to the Wa

situated at the junction Of the ST. Mary's
and little ST.. Joseph's rivers, which form

of about 1900. Logansport is situated
