MAGNETIC SURVEY.

and followed the usual canoe route TO the
interior. In the prosecution Of the objects
OF his mission, he visited York Factory, in
Hudson's Bay, Norway House, Red river
settlement, Cumberland House, Isle a Ia
Crosse, the great Methey Portage, and rea-
ched lake Athabasca in the following Sept.
Having remained al the latter station for
the space Of five months, he set out on tbs
ice Tor Mackenzie's river, on which he ira.
yelled to the verge Of the arctic circle. He
returned to Canada on the l4th of last
month, having been absent about twenty
months
"Conformably 10 his instructions, Mr..
LEROY devoted part of every day 10 mag
netlcal observations, having for their obiec.

weather lasting but short period. Its low.

small observatory was erected, and many
curious and interesting facts, relative 10 the

Gland STEALING LAW

We find the following item Of legislative
news which seems TO have escaped both
US and our attentive Jefferson correspond.
emf, in the Jefferson correspondence Of
one of our exchanges. The repeal took
place on the 22d ult:
The committee of conference between
the two Houses reported the terms OF
agreement in relation to the tax law-the
land stealing law"--by which it is re.
pealed. Their report has been agreed 10

now defunct. The repeating law provides
that taxes due for 1912, which have been
certified to the sheriffs, shall not be effected

JANUARY 9Th, 1S45.

In the Senate, this morning, the contested
election case, from Cooper. was taken up, and
the first step on the part OF the counsel for Mr.
O'Bren, was motion 10 exclude the evidence
taken by Mr.. Miller. for the reason that the no
tice served on Mr.. O'Brien did not specify the
names OF the voters, the legality OF whose votes
he intended TO attack by the evidence. This
motion was argued at length by Mr. Leonard, the
mover, and Mr.. Phelps in behalf OF Mr.. Miller.
1t was shown in the course oil the argument, that
in the case OF Compton against Rogers, decided
few weeks since, in the House OF Representa-.
lives, resolution was adopted by that body,
declaring in substance that no evidence was ad.
Missile, taken in pursuance OF a notice to the
adverse party, unless it specified the names OF the
voters, whose votes are objected 10. But the
effect OF such resolution in this case, would be
to turn Mr.. Miller out, without getting into the
merits OF his case, and the Senate over.ruled
the motion, after il had received most lucid and
able argument from Mr.. Leonard-an argument,
which Tor reasoning and authority. is wholly unan
swerable. The vote agreeing to receive the evi
dence was 90 to 8, on entire party vote. The
case is now progressing upon the evidence; and
the principle legal question, that upon which
most Of the contested votes will turn, is that of
domcilation, or the residence Of the voters at the
time OF voting
