mARy1AND LEGIsLATuRE.

Yesterday, Mr.. LEeRAND submitted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions:
"Whereas, it appears from the communication
of the President of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, made to the Governor on the
10th of February, 1910, that the Canal Com
many was indebted to the Bank of the United
States the sum of 100000; to the Bank OF
North America 100000; to A. Brown & Sons
500, 900, to the Merchants Bank of Baltimore
$3.50 900. to the Mechanics Bank Of Balti-
more 500. 600; to the Bank of Washington
Sis, 900; to the Western Bank of Baltimore
$s5, 900; to the Bank of Potomac $4,000; to
the Commercial Bank of Baltimore $4,000;
to the Girard Bank of Philadelphia $40, 900.
And whereas, it also appears from said commu-
nication, that a portion of the six per cent.
bonds of the State, issued under the law passed
in 1886, were hypothecated, the holders having
power in nearly every case to sell them pri-
vatey or publicly; and whereas it also appears
from the published correspondence between the
President of the Canal Company and the "a
rious Banks of Maryland, with which the bonds
were so hypothetical, that they refused to gave
time to the said Canal Company, and perenp-
torily insisted upon the payment of the several
amounts due to hem;-Therefore be it
Ordered, that the Bank of Baltimore, Me-
chanics' Bank of Baltimore, the Western Bank
of Baltimore, the Merchants Bank of Baltl-
more, the Commercial and Farmers Bank of
Baltimore, be severally directed to state TO this
House, as speedily as possible, what induced
the refusal on their part to allow additional
time to the Canal Company, and whether they
have effected sale of the five per cent ster-
ling Bonds given to each of them in payment
ofthe debts due to them respectively, and if SO
10 whom, at what time, and for what price.
They were referred to the committee on In
ternal Improvements. The order of the day
being the consideration ofthe report by Mr..
CAN'T to authorize the Banks of the State of
Maryland to receive and pay out the orders
drawn by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road
Company, or the stock of the city of Baltimore,
was taken up and several amendments propos-
ed and adopted.

The Boston Patriot says-e'A late Paris paper
states that the Imperial flag which hoated at the
head of the mainmast OF the Normandy, was
brought from st. Helena. 1t was an homage to
the memory of the Emperor and present from
the ladeis of the Island to the Prince de Join
vile, who ON accepting it gave his promise that
it should overshadow the coffin of Napoleon I'M
til it reached Paris. 1t was wrought by the
hands of those ladies' The white and blue are

glish uniforms, and voluntarily consecrated to

The Montreal Herald, speaking of the Caro-
line and Mcleod affair and the recent cores
pondence between MIR. Fox and Mr.. Forsyth
says
s'But now may not the question arise, docs not
the American Government, by making demand
for reparation for the burned Caroline, sanction
the atrocities which she was engaged in COM
hitting? Jour opinion is decidedly in the afirma-
tive; and this it appears that quasi invasion
made by the American government in hopes OF
plumber, has been met by quasi invasicE by
the British by way of retaliation.
The legal criminality and national immortality
of the whole is deeply stamped upon the Ameri-
cans, because they were the aggressors. If the
American government support the demand of
reparatien for the Caroline, it shows the great
est perfdy in abandoning its citizens at Prescott
and other places"

FISHING BoUSTIEs.--From the Barnstable
Patriot, we learn that the amount paid at the
custom house in that district this winter, falls
about 81 900 short of what was paid last
The amount paid thus far is $4,000. The
codfshing was so Improbable, year before the
last, that many vessels were put into other
employment. There was great falling off in
the number from Provincetown last year; and
the prospects,, that there will be greater for
the present. The same paper states that the
enterprising citizens of that port are turning
their attention to the whaling business; and is
informed that there will be no less than thir-
teen vessels the coming season 1.-TWO schooneIs
and the balance banks and brigs) which will fit
at, and sail directly from Proyincetown, or be
fitted and sailed by Provincetown crews from
some other port These will give employment

TuE PUBLIC LANDS.

The National Intelgencer contains Mr.
CALHoUN's proposition to sell the public lands
TO the States in which they lie, and his remarks
on his motion to substitute it for the pre-emp-
ton bill of Mr.. BENTON.
The substitute offered by Mr. CALHOUN,
proposes 10 cede the public lands to the States
in which they lie, upon the condition that such
States shall pay over to the United States part
Of the proceeds of the sales, to be fixed by, Jaw;
TO graduate the price, so that lands hat have
been offered at public sale, and remain unsold
for ten years, may be entered at enc dollar per
i've years that it may remain unsold.
Mr.. CALHOUN proposes that all expense of
surveying and sale shall be paid by the State
to which it may be coded, and insists that, I'M
der his bill, the United States will receive a
greater nett revenue from the sale of the pub
lie lands than they now do. He argues that
the present system gives TO the Federal Go
vernment dangerous patronage in the new
States, and that it occupies much of the time
and exercises a coTupting influence in the
legislation of Congress. He proposes to adopt
Mr.. Inns suggestion, ts appropriate the
proceeds of the public lands 10 the augmenta-
ton of the Navy. 1t thus appears that Mr..
CALHoUN's proposition is to sell, and not to
gire, the public lands 10 the new States. Mr..
BENToN's proposition is TO give the right of
pre.emption,to unnaturalized, as well as native
settlers, on the public lands.
Mr.. CLAWS proposition is to maintain the
present system, but TO distribute the proceeds
among the States.
Partisans are in the habit of lauding or de- |
nouncing these several propositions, until there
is scarce single newspaper in the country
that dares TO discuss them upon their merits
The people want the truth, and it is lament
able fact that the press on which they rely for
dares motor will not, give it. Sure
ly, question of so much Importance should be
fairly presented, and deserves to be considered
on its merits.

REPORT OF THE STATE TREAsUREE' rom
the report of Mr. Whitehill, Treasurer OF the
State, we gather the following PARTICULARS
l. General Reveuue.-Balance remaining IN
the Treasury, Nov. 18th, Sll,olS
?. Common School Fund. Balance, 7,6O3
3, Ohio Canal Fund.-Balance. l52,9Jl
4. Public Works.-Balanee in the
Treasury, 9O,5Uo
It appears that at the close Of the Fiscal year,
Ohio had large balance of funds iii her Ircasu-
ry; and as the Bonds of the State are at par, and
the General Revenue sufficient, the finances OF
the State are in good condition.
Among other facts which the report exhibits,
are the following:
Canal ReoueS-The Ohio and Miami canals,
from which the present Canal Revenue is almost
wholly derived, cost originally about four and a
half millions of dollars, and the interest on that
sum at six per cent is two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars.
The report before us shows that the Canal
Tolls amount to four hundred and flinety-three
thousand dollars; or more than two hundred
thousand dollars above the interest on the ORR
ginal cost There may be some monies for re-
pairs, ETC., to take out of this, but it does not
amount to this surplus.
MONEY PAID ON PUBLIC WORKS DURING THE
YEAR-Balance from last year, and amount
paid out of the Treasury of the Canal Fund
Commissioners, Sl,oIo,J0z
Disbursements. $50, 029
Ofthe disbursements, $4,000 were paid to
Turnpike Companies.
This was paid to twenty Companies.
Orthese, eleUen, or majority of the whole,
lead either indirectly or Immediately to Cincin-
natl.
On referring again. to the payments on the
Canals, we find that the nett proceeds on the
Ohio and Miami Canals are about. four hundred
thousand dollars, which is at least eight per
cent on the cost of their construction.-C GIN.

ANOTHER PAPER DEFINING ITS Pc
STTION.

1t will be seen, from the following, which we
cut from the Vermont Times, published at
Windsor, Vt, that the subject of Popery .as a
political institution,is attracting more and more
attention in this country Almost every day,
we perceive some new indication Of the alarm
which freemen begin to feel on account of the
encroachmeHts of Church, whose pillars are
wet with the blood of martyrs:
tGen. DUFF GREEN, the able and talented
editor of the Pilot, is now publishing paper at
Baltimore, devoted to the exposition of the dan
gers of Popery to our Tree institutions. We wish
him all manner of success ia his undertaking.
The emissaries of Rome are insinuating them
selves into every nook and corner of our land,
and wherever they meet with the least encour-
agemsnt, there will they establish themselves.
They come not frankly before the American pub
lie nd declare their true principles and objects
but pursue creeping, plIable, and insidious
course. calculated to offend none, but gain the
favor Of all. That their religious creed is at
war with all the principles of American liberty,
needs no proof from us.
The fact that the sdherents of the Pope give
themselves up, soul and body, to believe and to
do whatever he may desire, proves incontestibly
we think, that they are In no condition to reside
under our Constitution and Laws. No subject
ola foreign potentate, so long as he remains
such, can be freeman, perform impartially
the duties Of an American citizen. There ar,
now comparatively few Papists IN our country
but the seed is sown, and the plants begin to aP
pear,-and unless the people are exceedingly
watchful, we may be forced ere long to reap thu
bitter fruits ofPapal intrigue and deception. w
therefore trust that all will give an early alton
tiont to this subject, and give Mr. Green tn
support which he so richly deserves"
