NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER d. 1849.

DIFFICULTIES iIE THE Quo SEEEFE.-An ex-
citing scene took place in The Ohio Senate on the
llth-ts question being on the election Of officers
Dir. Beaver offered resolution providing that du-
ring iisaessiOH the Senate be governed by the rules
in Cusbing's Manual, until otherwise ordered This
was intended to guard against JoInson's voting in
his own case.
L must be remembered thai JohHson's seat is dis
pulsd that without him there is a he in the Sen
ate. Hence the importance Of the form Of putting
question-all votes being lost by a tie.

The Chair said he would eRteTtain the appeal,
and that the question would be, g Shall the appeal

New York CANALs.-The products floating on
the canals Of New York during the past season, are
estimated to have amounted to 6, 736 $50 tons, ex-
ceeding 100000 tons the amount transported in
1913 As an avenue oftrade, says the American
Review, the Erie Canal now outstrips every chan
mel ofcommerce natural or artificial, in the New or
the Old World it far exceeds the Rhine which
flows through the heart of Europe for five hundred
miles, and has its navigation carefully improved by
the sovereign powers adjacent to its banks" A line
of railroad has been constructed for long distance
parallel to this great canal Butthe railroad has not
at all affected the water way There cannot be
said to be any rivalry between them, the canal ex-
ertng its peculiar advantages for the transportation
of heavy freight and the railroad for the conveyance
of passengers The whole descending cargoe.
passing the railroad during the year 1915, were
but 29,999 tons, while in seven months of the same
season, the Canal took down $4,000 tons to It'd,
water 1t is added that the value in money of III,
Canal commerce, which in 1913 had reached $50,
100000, assembled in 1918 to Sl40O0O,00O Thu
affords very little encouragement to those who hav
been hoping to find railroad substitute for tn,
Mississippi.

STEAMBOAT CoNPETITIoN.-Theya are carrying
on the game, pretty desperately, between the two
steamboat packets Luela and Tempest, plying be-
tween ST. Louis and Alton. Some weeks back
they got the rate of the passage from st. Lous to
Alton down to twenty-five cents. A short time
after, the Luea effected another material reduction
rendering the fare a merely nominal consideration.
On the 10th, ssays the Reveille theNTempest hung
out her board, promising Ffroe passage % all who
would favor her With their custom and it Is limited

TENNEssEE-The General Assembly of Ten
nessee has protested against the pretenson that
Congress has power oprevent the Introduction and
existence of domestic slavery in the territories, and
other power of kindred nature, and has passed
resolutions the first of which afirms " devoted and
cherished attachment to the Union" but desire
to have it as it formed and not as an engine of
oppression, which possesses generally the same fea.
lures the resolutions of the Georgia Legislature,
and others requesting the Governor to convene the
General Assembly to consider of the mode and
measure Of redress, and finally, recommending that
the people of each Congressional Distrietto appoint
two delegates, and two aternates torepresent them

DIABoLIcAL ATTEMPT-A man walking on the
Housatonic railroad, near Gaylopd's Bridge, (says
a correspondent of the New York Journal Of Com
merce, writing on the 9TH of December, from STRAIT
ford, Connecticut,l at very early hour on Thurs
day morning last, found, at short distances from
each other six ties laid the track, and fixed
tight by means of grooves, to the rails that he
found it difficult to remove them. Proceeding on,
he overlook man whom he at once suspected, and
charged with the yillany. Being very powerful
man, and aimed with a heavy cane, he marched the
accused before him, saying, q" You will not get
beyond the reach-of my cane ill have you before
a magistrate Yet, strange to say, the justice to
whom the application was made refused warrant
for the detention Of the accused, and he
set at liberty, The particular object of the perpe-
traitor, however, appears TO have been TO destroy
the conductor Of the Express engine, hourly ex-
pected to run with the Presidents message to Al
bany, at the rate of ninety miles in one hour and
forty-fve minutes. Had the mischief succeeded
there scarcely be doubt that engineer, mes
senger and fireman would have been killed. The
engineer who was expecting to run the express,
and had been waiting two days for the arrival Of
the message is supposed to have been the individ-
ual at whom the malice was aimed and, being a
man OF great amiableness and worth, his exposure
to attempt diabolical exoites much sensation,

man connected with the Housafone road. 1 give

10 An account is given in the Kentucky pa
pers ofthe treatInentreceived in Cincinnati (O6io)
by Mr. Wingate, ofFrankfort, tKy,) in an attempt
to recover negro boy who had been enticed away
from him. Mr.. Wingate applied, in the first place,
to the police, whom he accuses of misleading him
with false Information that his boy was at a distance
from the city. Having learned, from other sources,
that the fugitive was concealed in part of the city
called Bucktown, Inhabited principally by free
blacks, he sought and found him. The boy pro-
fessed to be willing to go back, but was dissuaded
by those with whom he was placed. Mr.. Wingate
obtained the aid of two police officers and returned,
and after searching the place, discovered his boy
concealed under feather bed Attempting to re-
move him, he was obstruced by a noisy mob OF
blacks, and thrown down, and the negro carried
away. He extricated himself with difficulty, the
police officers standing by without aiToTding him
any aid He applied, severally, to two magistrates
for aid to recover the negro but was refused in both
cases. Each told him they would act if he could
bring the boy before them, but would not help HIM
to get possession.
