CONGRESS-.

The Senate, on the 18th, passed a resolution at the in
stance of Mr.. Benton, instrncting the Committee on For
eign Relations to inquire whether any provisions are ne
cessary, in providing for the annexauono OF Texas, TO pro-
tect the United States from specializing operations in
Texas lands or scrip, and whether any persons employed
BY the government are connected with such specuiations
and also empowering the committee to send for persons
and papers, 10 answer in connection with this and other
matters embraced in the resolution, or any others that
may be necessary 10 promote, in the language Of the re-
solution, 'ihe safe, speedy. peaceable, and honorable an
nexaiiou Of Texas to the United States" A resolution
was also passed, at the instance Of Mr.. Niles, calling up
on the Treasury Department to report as to the manage
ment of the public funds. hr. N. made some remarks,
showing the necessity Of the call, and the importance of
Congress legislaung upon the subject, to lessen the dis
cretion Of the executive over the public funds As 1t
was, the whole revenues of the country were left 10 the
control Of the secretary-a state of things brought about
by the legislation Of the Wing party, who, in 1884, and
subsequently,, uttered such loud complaints against any
executive discretion over the public d~eposites. They
should, he maintained, be subjected to the control of law,
and not left solely 10 the discretion of the Secretary Of
the Treasury.
In the House, the first business taken up was the bill
TO provide for the remission OF the duty on railroad iron in
certain cases when Mr.. Foster of Pennsylvania had the
floor from Yesterday, addressed the House in opposition
TO it. Mr.. Payne OF Alabama then addressed the House
on the subject of the tariff of 1912, and IN favor Of a
revenue tariff after which the bill was laid on the table

Thomas w. Dorr.

The Providence papers state that Gen. Fessenden,
of Portland, is in that city trying to get Gov. Dorr
released from prison on a writ of error and habeas
corpus.
Gen. Fessenden, says the Bangor Democrat, has re-
turned TO Maine, and reports that he applied to Judge
Story in the first place to ascertain what steps were
requisite to carry Gov. DORIS case into the u. S. Court
by writ of error, and was informed that an application
must be made by the ''prisoner" to which his sigma
ture was necessary. To obtain this Mr.. Fessenden
proceeded to Providence, and requested admittance to
the prison where Mr.. Dorr is confined. His wing OPP
pressors took Mr.. Fessenden's request into considera-
ton, and after mature deliberation, decided not TO grant
1t, affirming that Gov. Dorr was civilly dead! He is
not permitted to consult with legal advisers, is forcibly
prevented from making an appeal to the highest tri-
bunal of the land, is shut up within the walls of a pri-
son, and treated like a felon, not being permitted to
even see his personal friends. There is much injus-
tice and oppression in this ''happy land,' and much
foul wrong and tyranny where the Wings hold the
reins of power. Rhode island is swing all over,'
and Thomas w. Dorr is held in worse than Russian
bondage for asserting a fundamental principle of
American Liberty.

The Deaf and Dumb.

On Thursday evening, we attended the exhibition OF
the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum-(no thanks
to Mr.. Tingley, by the way, who endeavored to ex-
clude every body but such greenhornS as himself)-
and we were much %gratiied at the proficiency mani
tested by such as actively participated in it. Taking
into consideration the fact that most of the pupils
have devoted less than a year to their studies, their
attainments do great credit to themselves and to Mr..
Willard, the worthy Principal of the institution. The
exhibition may have appeared rather tedious, we are
aware, to those who witnessed the more pleasing or
amusing exhibition of the Blind, recently given but
when 1t is remembered that the Deaf and Dumb have
to overcome the obstacles of a deprivation of two of
the FIVE senses, instead of but one,l as in the case of the
Blind, the interest to the rejecting is greatly enhanc-
ed The performances consisted of various examples,
such as spelling words by the manual alphabet, from
the blackboard, on which tLey were written, and Civ
ing evidence by signs that the pupil understood the
application of the words used sentences commune
Gated by the teacher to the pupil by signs, and written
out by the latter reading sentences from books and
manuscript by signs, each word being explained by an
assistant as the pupil progressed, &c., &c. The Lords
prayer, was written on the blackboard and then re-
peated word for word, very beautifully, by Miss Orch
ard, of Bloomington. We should be glad to ~particu-
larise in other cases, but want of space forbids.
On the whole it must be a source of much ~gratifca-
ton to all liberal minded and benevolent persons, that
this excellent institution gives already so much evil
dence of usefulness-that, as it were, the Dumb have
been taught to speak and the Deaf to hear.

MISUNDERSTANDING Edwards of Missouri, deliy-
cred his Inaugural Address, on the Doth ult. His
Excellency sets down $780, 900 as the amount paid
annually by the people of Missouri to the General
Government. Through the effect of the Tariff, the
expense of collecting it,at 5000 600 more; the amount
paid for home fabrics, over imported manufactures, at
100000 more the loss sustained in prices by q
glutted market, at Ss00,0 GOO more. Thus he argues
against the power welded by the United States in
employing a protective system Of taxation.
The Governor is opposed to the indiscriminate use
of Incorporation powers, and the intro
duction of individual responsibility clause in the laws.
He contends also that the power of regulating the
currency is no where prohibited to the States, and
that, consequently, it is constitutionally theirs. He
recommends a limitation in the issue of bank notes,
so as to prohibit the emission of any note under ten
dollars.
He the adoption of a plan for prepar-
ing and qualifying teachers for the Common Schools,
of whom but few regularly qualified are to be found.
The disposition and more equal distribution Of the
Common School Fund, he says, should occupy some
what the attention of the Legislature, so that the
poor as well as the rich may be benefited by it, and
the Primary Schools be as well supplied with instruct
ors as the higher ones.

EMANcIPATING A SLAVE IN DEFIANCE OF THE OWN
ER.-Robert 7. Lucas, the slave of Edward Fitzge-
raid, purser on board the U. S. frigate United States,
was taken from the master on writ of haJeas corpus,
while the ship was lying at Boston. The case was
tried before the supreme court, chief justice Shaw pre-
siding. The slave had been received and entered as
a landsman by written consent of secretary Upshur,
deceased. There were two points raised. First, the
claim of the commander of the frigate to the services
of the slave: second, whether his having been brought
involuntarily within the limits of Massachusetts,
without the masters consent, who was about return
ing to Virginia, the court could interfere TO set him
free:
s'Judge Shaw decided that although Lucas was
lawfully entered and employed as a landsman on
board the frigate, the right of the commander to his
services as a slave could not extend beyond the terito-
rial limits of slavery, and were at an end whenever
the services to be performed took him out of these linn
its. In relation to the second point, that the mas
ter having voluntarily placed his slave in a situa-
ton in which he would be liable TO be taken within the
limits of a free state, he could not compel him to re-
turn again to a slave state without his consent. Lu-
cas- was accordingly discharged from custody, and be-
ING of full age, was left to return to Virginia or re-
main as he might elect. This decision greatly en-
larged all the previous decisions in similar cases, and
may be regarded as limiting the claim of the master
strictly to the case of a fugitive"

G-The attack made on Mr. hanks of Washington,
on Tuesday last for introducing a resolution to facii-
tate business, providing that the House viii at two
O'Clock ON each day proceed TO the orders Of the day,
demands a passing notice at cur hands. at the time
Of the introduction of the resolution, the orders of
the day had not been reached for several days, and
about one hundred and fifty bills were on the files.
The Senate had adjourned one or two days at an early
hour for the want of business. Under these circum-
stances Mr.. Shanks introduces his resolution, which
laid over one day, according to the rules of the House.
Just before Mr.. Shanks' resolution came up, a resolu-
ton had been adopted, without the slightest opposi-
ton, providing for the election of a U. S. Senator on
the 26th inst. Yet in the face of all this, Mr.. Hazel
rigg, the Wing Representative of a Democratic
county, rose in his place and charged upon the reso-
luton of Mr.. Shanks a design 10 defeat the wishes OF
the Wing majority, in adopting resolutions relative
to the election of a Senator. He spoke advisedly he
said, that such were the objects of those that brought
forward this resolution. Mr.. Shanks disclaimed
any other than to facilitate business, and all acquaint
ed with Mr.. Shanks know that a man of more exalted
moral worth and strict integrity is not to be found il
our State. But this is the man who for a praisewor
thy effort to bring the business of the session to
speedy close has TO be assailed by a two-penny Whig
Representative Of the Democratic county of Boone
Shame, shame, on such gross Misrepresentation of tn,
Democracy of our sister county. Even Gen. Slap
was constrained to say that the resolution was il
strict accordance with the rules of Legislation adoptet
years since in Indiana, to facilitate business. w,
have come to a pretty pass indeed when every thing
must be tortured into a desire to cheat the Wings on
of their Senator. Their guilty hearts, in view o
their designs to cheat the free sons of Indiana out o
a Democratic Senator, so justly their due. leads then
to suspect even those. who, like Cesar's wife, ar
above suspicion, as being engaged in like dishonorabl
conduct.

THE Law IN RELATION TO MoBs.-Chief Justice
Gibson, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in his
charge to the Jury in Philadelphia, in the case of
Donahoe against the county, declared that the firing
upon a mob was perfectly justifiable, when that mob
was a~ssailing a mans house. He said, in reference
to that particular case, IF the assailants had been
shot down, it would have been a case of ~justifiable
homicide, and added, 4" Any attempt to commit arson
lustifes homicide in defence, especially in the night
time. A man has a right to keep whatever arms he
pleases in his house, and to introduce men to use them.
And he can take them 1hen he pleases, whether he
apprehends danger or not. This is a freeman'S priv
ilege. Any man who cannot arrest another in the
preparation of a felony, has a right to take his tte, as
a measure of necessity" The Chief Justice. was
particularly severe in his animadversions upon
mobs, and observed that if it were 8 treason to oppose
a mob" as he had heard it said %latterly, 'he had lived
quite long enough, and did not care to prolong his life
another day."

Gov. DoRR.-We believe the case Of Gov. Dorr
now stands thus Judge Story decides that a writ of
error cannot be granted except upon petition signed
by Gov. Dorr, and that his counsel are not authorized
to do it in his behalf. DORIS counsel have applied to
the authorities of Aigerine Rhode Island for admit
lance to him to procure his signature The applica-
ton has been refused on the pretended ground that
Dorr is ciyilly dead, and therefore cannot do an act
to be recognized in the civil courts of the land. So il
error exists, and the prisoner be innocent, and the
United States court would correct the error and strike
the chains from the limbs Of Dorr, justice cannot be
done and wrong repaired. Was there ever an out
rage so f~agitious in character, and so detestabIe and
infamous in the means adopted to continue the wick
edness.-Nsw Hampshire Patriot.

G-We are glad that Mr.. Garrett, of the House,
put a reto on some lawyer dog-latin affair in the shape
of a bill, on Thursday. A great deal of opposition
was manifested against printing $50 worth of the
Governors Message in German, a living language
but when it comes to the cant or fash d~og-latin of the
law, the Wing, as we'll as too many of the Democratic
lawyers, see no necessity for adhering to the English
language. Oh no that done, and more than half
of the pettifogging tribe would starve. Right, Mr..
Garrett, let us have the laws in English, or at least
some living language.

SATURDAY., DECEMBER rs. Is44.
and indianapolis Rail Road.

The bin to amend the law granting this road to the
present company, which was reported from the CON-
mittee on Canals and Internal improvements, and
passed to a second reading, on Thursday last, provides
that the said company shall be authorised and empow-
cred, from time to time, to borrow money on the credit
of said company, TO aid them in constructing and re-
pairing said road, or carrying on the operations OF
said Company, at a rate of interest authorised by the
laws of the State where such loan may be negotiated.
The Company may, at any time, open books for the
subscription and tranfer Of stock, in any city In the
United States. The payment to the State Of the por-
ton of the net receipts of the road as required by law
for the present year, shall be the only amount required
of the said company to be so annually paid, for and dur
ing the term of eight years from and after the pass
age of the act; Provided, that, if the said company
shall fail 10 complete the said road to Edinburgh with
in one year, and thence to indianapolis within three
years from the first day of July next, then the portion
of the said net receipts to be paid the State shall be
ascertained and paid as if the act had not become a
law.
After the expiration Of the said term of eight years
the company and State to have equal interest accord
ing to the length of road completed by each. No al
~teration to be made in the charter for fifteen years from
the completion of the road to Indianapolis-the State
to have the privilege of purchasing the interest of the
company for twenty years. All matters of difference
between the State and Company to be settled by the
Courts-the act to take effect as soon as accepted by
the company and fled in the Office of the Secretary Of
State.
The Company have confidence that with these amend
ments, means can be obtained to complete the road 10
Indianapolis. Indeed, as viii be perceived, they make
said completion to Indianapolis, in three years, a part
of the consideration for said amendments. The adj
vantages asked, for the term Of eight years, from the
State, which are the only amendments Of a pecuniary
nature provided for, are insignificant, when contrast
ed with the general advantages TO the State of the
completion of the road particularly in a revenue point
of view, for all will acknowledge, that the aggregate
valuation Of the property of scme fifteen or twenty
counties will be greatly enhanced by the completion OF
tie road. The present Company will have entirely
exhausted their resources On completing the road to
Edinburgh, thirty miles from this city. If the 6ene-
fits Of a completion to Indianapolis were confined to
this city alone, we should feel a delicacy in pressing
the claims of this work on the Legislature but some
twenty counties along the line of the road and around
Indianapolis are directly interested, and the whole
State indirectly in the enhancement of the general
revenue as before stated.

IRISH WHIGs.-The following paragraph, from the
Lowell Courier of Tuesday 18th inst, } shows clearly,
not only that the Wing warmth about foreigners is all
theatrical, but that they love and laud even Catholic
Irishmen daily, whenever they prove recreant to DEM
ocratic principles:
The Courier says:--What can be thought Of the
demagogue Loco leaders in this city, who brought
MCGEE, the editor of the Pilot, to Lowell, on Satur-
day night, for the purpose of haranging the Irishmen
of Lowell over to the Loco side. Thank fortune, his
efforts and their efforts have been in vain. The Irish
Wings of Lowell are not to be caught by fools or
demagogues. They acted nobly. At the Wing meet
ing in the Reading Room last evening, three cheers
were given for the Wing Irishmen of Lowell.
How does this barneyoycr Wing Irishmen contrast
with the bitterness of a portion of the Wing press;
who are abusing I~riShmen, and the Abolitionists, for
defeating their pct, Henry Clay, and aiding to elect,
as they say, James K. Polk.

A Curious Fnct.

The Report of the Superintendent of the Indiana
State Prison shows that there are now l0S %convicts in
confinement. OF these, nineteen are natives Of Ken
lucky. The balance are principally from other States,
New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, giving
together 40. Kentucky, however, furnishes the largest
number of any State. But look. Notwithstanding
the hue and cry of the Wings about the ''rascally for
eigners,' while a good Clay Wing State gives us 10
of her scoundrels to support, the Kingdoms Of France,
Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland and Poland fur
nish but ten! The ''Natiye Wings had better look
round a Little, or they viii find themselves with their
brethren.
