tive from Jackson departed this life in this city.
on Saturday last In addition To the proceedings
of the House AID Senate, we accord our humble
testimony 10 the many virtues OF the deceased.
Few men, occupying the station he did IN the
political world, were better regarded by all with
whom he was acquainted. On yesterday, at 10
o'clock, his remains were conveyed 10 the Rep
resentatIves' Hail. where the Rev Phneas Cur
ley, pastor of the First PRESBYTERIAN Church,
delivered an eloquent and feeling address,

''On Wedne sdav, Mr. Henley in the course of
his remarks, made home thrust at the Governor
Auditor and Treasurer, who he charged with be-
ing the prime movers of the measure, as introduce
ed before the House. The Governor having urged
II IN his message, the Auditor advocated it. and
the Treasurer having written the bill. He
wished To let the country know, what were the
sentiments of man, who would shortly come
before the people for reelection, In reference
to these sacred funds, who was wiling in one
paragraph To have them cnguIphed with To-
900, 900 dollars already squandcred and in
another, II such were his sentiments, hypocrit-
ically to talk long and loud OF his friendship for
common school education. He invoked the
friends of the one hundred thousand barefooted
children now needing education, to aid him
IN wrestling this valuable legacy from the fate
which he feared awaited it, lie said if the
Governor TO advocate such a provision in
the next canvass, every school boy would be
after hun irith sharp stick He hoped that
member, for the sake of making their own
pay valuable. which he presumed would
be IN treasury notes, would risk the consequent
ces that might arise under this bill
1t was truly lauehable after MIR Henley had
made these remarks, to Mr.. Bradley arise
IN his place and defend the Governor. Having
just been charged by the Representative from
Jennings, who called him the great Northern
Light with having entered into an unhoy ALI
ancc with Mr.. Henley; and being with that
gentleman IN his efforts to reconsider the vote
on the passage OF the bill and decidedly warning
against the Governor IN his recommendations
IN his message, the House saw nj once the d.
lemma IN which thus honorable gentleman was
placcd and although he dbl the best he
could, he sat down under the conviction, that
he laboring III uphill business. The
whole matter, however, ended IN mutual COM
promise all round-and the bill will no doubt be
speedily reported back from the committee, and
will pass BY nearly Il unanimous vote; and rs
amended, Will no doubt, be approved OF by the
people. MIR Henley has shown no ordinary
ability IN his efforts To perfect this bill The
provision he has been contendng for, will rather
have tendency 10 attach additional value to
the treasury notes than 10 deprcss them. Hence
many gentlemen have yielded TO his arguments.
who, IN the outset strongly opposed him. In
deed, his arguments la defence OF educa-
ton funds were irresistible. When he mar
shalled before the House the long array OF
haxen headed urchIns needing the adyan-
tages OF common school education-when he
urged that the Governor of the State bv rec
concentrations IN his message was willing t.
risk all consequences by placing these funds in
the State treasury at the mercy of future leois

guage he used in reference to that officer

discussion, was again passed-ayes Go, noes D,
and sent To the Senate. Thus has this question
which has excited, for the time, more interest
