Charges were some time ago preferred against
Governor RAMSEY, Of Minnesota, and Mr.. SIBLEY,
delegate from that Territory, of official misconduct
in the disbursement Of money to the Indians and
the traders, &c. who had claims against them.
The charges were submitted for investigation to a
commission, consisting of Judge r. NJ. YoUNG and
Colonel GoRMAN. After an elaborate examination
of evidence, they have made a report generating
these officers of all blame. One of the charges was
violation Of the Subtreasury act. The facts on
which this charge was founded were as follows
Gov. Ramsey was to pay six hundred thousand dol
lars as the first nstalment of Indian treaty purchase
He had draft on the New York Subtreasury for
this purpose He could not carry it all in specie.
He took hundred thousand dollars in specie, and
this sum filled two boxes, each requiring the strength
of four men to lift the balance in drafts upon the
Manhattan and Merchants Banks of New York and
the bills of those banks. This paper was worth a
premium of one and a half per cent. in the West,
and the persons to whom it was paid were glad to
get it in preference to specie. There was specu
lation in the transaction and no hazard to the
United States Treasury y-Corr. Of the Jour. Com.

The Hon. RoDMAN NJ. PRICE was installed as
Governor of New Jersey on Tuesday last, at Tren-
ton, in the presence of the Legislature and large
number of citizens. The question Of the eligibility
of Mr.. Price for this Office ruled out of the Le-
gisature on the ground that it cognizable only
by the Supreme Court of the State. The point
made against his right to the Office was that he had
not been resident Of the State for the seven years
preceding his election, is required by the State
Constitution Within that time he had exercised
the privileges of citizen Of California, in having
been member Of the Convention which framed the
Constitution of that State, and he was also candi-
date for Congress and exercised the elective fran
chise there The Legislature of New Jersey is re-
quired to Try and determine Of contested cleo
ton to the Gubernatorial Office, but in this case it
has decided that its jurisdiction is confined to
tests arising on elections and returns, and not to
contests touching the eligibility of candidate. 1t
is not improbable that the question will be carried
into the State Courts.

The following resolutions we're introduced into
the Senate of Ohio on Thursday last, and ordered
to be printed ~
Whereas it is understood that efforts being made
to procure the passage of of Congress to organize
the Territory Of Nebraska with such provisions will
permit the existence Of slavery therein and whereas in
the judgment of this General Assembly, the passage of
such would not only be inconsistent with the Con-
tuton Of the United States and of the Declaration Of
Independence, but would also be manifest violation of
the Missouri Compromise: Therefore
BE Il resoiced by the General Assembly Of the State Of
Oho That we soemnly protest against the passage of
any act for the organization of the Territory of Nebras
ka which shall not expressly exclude the institution of
human slavery from said Territory.
Resolved That our Senators and Representatives in
Congress be requested to make every effort to prevent
the passage of such an act.
esolrsd That the Governor be requested to transmit
copy of the foregoing resolutions to each of Sena
tors and Representatives in Congress

CONGRESS AND THE DELIvERERs.-The heart of
every true man must rejoice at the disposition shown
in all quarters to do honor to the noble men who
aided in rescuing the sufferers on board the steamer
San Francisco But especially will every American
be glad that the National Legislature Of this coun-
try has promptly acted upon the same impulse of
gratitude and taken the initiative steps toward ex-
pressing the national sense of the meritorious ac-
tions of the English captain Of the Three Bells and
the American captains of the Kilby and Antarctic.
This was done, and done handsomely, in both
Houses of Congress, and we regret that the pres

House There was small majority against the Presiden
| in the Senate
Among the acts passed at this long session. ending
the goth OF June, 1884 were the following Making
proprations for certain harbors and rivers for compe
ing road from Memphis to Little Rock in Arkansas
authorizing certain roads in Arkansas aiding roads in
Michigan continuing the Cumberland road and for the
Improvement of the Hudson river all of which received
the sanction of President Jackson who has the credit by
those who get their information from partisan traditions
with crushing the corrupt system of John Quincy
Adams !"
At the second session. ending March 3, 1886, appro-
pratons were made for roads and surveys also for
tain harbors and rivers and usual for the Cumber-
land road
The first session Of the 24th Congress commenced on
the 7th December 1885, and among the most important
of the acts were those making appropriations for certain
harbors and rivers and for continuing the Cumberland
road ~. .
The second session commenced on the 5th December,
1885, and ended the Sd March, 1887 with Gen. Jack
sons term Acts were passed making appropriations for
harbors, rivers roads, and lighthouses
To make the comparison, however, more striking
both to sight and sense, we will present the total
amount of expenditures for Internal Improvements
Gncluding surveys during the Administrations of
Mr.. Adams and General jackson. The sums are
taken from an official report made to the Senate, in
184S:
Under Mr.. Adams "a years. s2,31o,475
Under Gen. jackson Is years. l0,5S2,sS2
So it appears that under Mr.. ADAMs's /" extra
VACANT +" Administration IN .tavor of the system
there was less than half as much expended
on Internal Improvements as there was under the
economical Administration Of General JACKSON
opposed to the system.
The impartial reader has now an opportunity Of
seeing how little of fairness there is among politi
clans who ascrbe either extravaganza corruption
to the Administration of Mr.. John Quincy Adams
in reference to Internal improvements, or any
thing else.
