BY private letter from Springfield, brought
has passed The bill, which had previously passed
the senate, Internationally repeating the Nauyo"
charter We regret this exceedingly. 1t smacks
very strongly Of persecution. That the people
of Nauvoo, because they happen to differ from the
rest Of the world in their religious belief TO be
deprived OF privileges which are aw ardtd to eve
~ village in the state, and from the exercise Of
which no harm can flow, is 50 mlniitstly UNJUST
that we are at a loss 20 account for this movement
Of our legislature. We had hoped the amend
ment Of Mr.. Ross TO the senate bill would prevail,
by which Nauvoo was placed on u footing with
Chicago, Quincy, &c.

The Chicago Journal objects to the proposition
now before tho legislature to appoint three agents
to protect tho timber on canal lands, 10 be paid
out Of the down timber, and thinks i, would be
better for all concerned If the legislature, instead
of increasing tho number Of canal agents, would
dispense with their services altogether, aud con-
fijc the trust Of protecting the timber to Gen.
Fry, or tho person who shall have charge of the
canal property at Ioekport. The Journal Is about
right. There can be little doubt if the three pro-.
posed agents were appointed, il would take double
the timber that ia stolen IN the absence of any
protection whatever, topoy them; and they would
be sure to get their pay, If !, even obliged them to
make "down timber" of the las, tree.

Startling Disclosures New York city po-

in that city have conspired with a large number
Of the slaves in Princess Auu county, Virginia
for the purpose Of numbering the whites, aud all
such negroes as would not join in the conspiracy.
A black mon named Morse, who was in the Sc

and fearing for his own safety, he caused to be ar
rested those who were participators.

ImBaiGm IN AboHimjsis--A decision which
affects aboliliosisls is thus recorded in the Ohio
papers; Some time ago slave escaped from
Kentucky to Ohio. He was pursued and over
taken. Some Of the Ohio abolilunisls proposed
to buy him. His master acccded to their proEo-
siton aud took their band for SEQ; subsequently
the aboliiiCnisls refused payment alleging that in
the contemplation Of the laws of Ohio, they bad
received no consideration. TIE case came re-
Gently before the Supreme Court at ChiIcolhc,
and the court decided that tie Kcnluckian was
entitled to his money.

The U. &. Senate has passed bill making n
further donation OF land to Indiana TO aid IN com
ple,Gg the Wabash and Ere canal, and il ~ con.

This may be regarded as good news for us, for if
donation is made to Indiana, congress cannot
with any consistency refuse making similar do
nation To Illinois This act Of the senate, we no
tice, has given new courage to our senators aud
representatives in eongress, and they very act

written long letter to the committee on tho pub

nal both in a state and national point Of view and
urging in tho strongest manner tho justice and

We may publish this letter if we can possibly get

u, n. District Attorney,

Since the outside Of our paper was printed of,
we have received the Chicago Democrat, which
gives some facts in relation 10 the appoinmen, Of
Mr. skinner, that place the matter in u new light
before the public. The Democrat says, ian up
plication 10 President Tyler had been made by
certain Influential persons in this state in behalf
OF disting ushed gentleman living in ono OF
the southern counties, Cor this Office, and, in nc.
cordance with that application, Mr. Duttcricld
was removed, and commission directed to the
gentleman above alluded 10, was actually being
filled out. Mr.. Wentworth, accidentally hearing
OF these facts, al once made all proper and honor.
able excrtions to retain the Office in his own dis
trict. where il then was, and was successful il
his cndeayors, solely for the reason that it wai
manifestIy unjust that all the Objects Of the eour
should be token from the southern portion OF The
state, the judgt, marshal, clerk, &c, all being re.
sidea,s OF that quarter"
ia this state Of facts, wo certainly think no
blame can be attached 70 Mr. Wentworth for the
mar, he bias acted in the matter nor can Mr.
skinner be blamed. All the fault about il lies
With those who first applied 10 President Tyler

Increase in one year of $ll ,262,9Sl IL
is perceived by this sia,emen, that in In
diana the annual increare in taxable prop
erty is about equal to the whole State
debt. Would not one years nett profit
be freely given TO discharge the aggregate
debt Of the State!
Pennsylvania has a 3 mill tax 10 pay
interest on her debt. 1t was mills up
to 1874, and is now increased to 3.
Illinois State tax, ? mills; proposed 10
increase 10 3; county 5 mills, aud TO be
reduced TO T.
As most striking illustration Of The
good effects of taxation, your committee
would point to Ohio. BY the most Wig
orouS efforts this young State. although
heavily embarrassed, and yet in her youth,
has, amidst ali the vicissiludes of the
times, maintained her credit and fulfilled
her engagements. Taxes have been high
er there than in any State in the Union.
But under all her burlhens, she has out
stripped every other State in growth.
