ton in cases of riot. That is sensible.
Also against abolishing the Common
Pleas Court. We are glad of this.
for we would part with Judge Reid
very reluctantly.
In the House, it was resolved not to
repeal the valuation and appraiscment
laws, and bill passed authorizing Ag-
ricultural Societies to own not exceed
ing twenty acres of real estate for the
purposes of exhibition.
Sundry resolutions were introduced,
but nothing Of much importance was
settled, as they were mostly resolu-
tons of inquiry. One will cause
some squirting if it is deemed expe-
dient-to not allow German. French.
Italian &C.. to be taught in common
Schools. Wonder if Sam is there.
On FRIDAY, the Senate refused to
repeal the Militia Law All right
The people repealed it years ago, by
killing it out right, and no Legislature
or Governor can ever bring it to life
again.
A resolution Of inquiry was adopted
relative TO releasing negroes from tax
alton for School purposes. OF course
they will not be released. True, they
dare not send to our Free Schools, but
is il not written in the book of the
South, that they must work for white
folks, and help educate white chill
dren?
A foolish motion was made TO ask
Congress to provide for amending the
Constitution of the United States, so
that Senators may be elected by the
people. 1t ought to be done, but that
Senate is afraid of the people and will
never consent to come before them.
A Bill passed the Senate authoriz-
ing County Auditors to call meet
ing of the County Board when neces-
sary.
A Bill passed, requiring the Audit
or of State to surrender bonds to per-
sons who hold the paper of banks that
will not redeem with specie.
The Senate then refused 10 go into
election of State Agent till after 22d
of February, and adjourned to Mon
day.
TMr. McCleery came home Satur-
day and returned on Monday. We
did not see him, but we learn that he
said that he thought the Senate would
go into election, latter the 22d, and that
probably the Free Bank Law would be
repealed. He was in good health.
In the House, several resolutions Of
inquiry were introduced, and passed
but as they amount to nothing, we
omit them.
Judge Test made dead set against
the Courts Of Common Pleas, and
asked that ten more Circuits should be
established, and the probate bushes;
be committed to Circuit Courts. II
his motion had provided for putting
Judge Reid on our Circuit bench, the
Legislature might have considered it.
self instructed, by us, to favor the
motion. AS it is, we are opposed, ant
the measure failed by seven votesl-
1t will probably come up again, and
we now fear that Judge Reid will b.
abolished, in spite of us.
An imperative resolution passed, in
structing the committee on Education
to provide for levying a tax of 80 ct
on the hundred dollars for school pur
poses. Though it passed by but ON
majority, we think it will become
law. AS the House adjourned over t.
Monday, Q P. NJ, we have no later re
port. We hope to report next weel
that temperance bill is on the car
pet. Our faithful. correspondents wi
give as early information on this ant

ness sooner than stated, as they seem
to manifest liberal disposition. to
yield to our just and reasonable re-
quest.
AS we are anxious topreserve peace
and good order in our community, we
hoped to have received different an
swer from those who say TO, us that
they sciH,-despite our entreaties, our
prayers, our solemn and determined
protest; despite the cries and tears of
worse than widows and orphans; in
defiance of the law of God, and the
law of the land conformable Herewith,
and in defiance of the will of this
community,-contlnue their business
of vice, misery, death and destruction,
shielding themselves behind the mere
fragment of law which, at first, failed
to meet the interests, the rights and
demands of the sovereign people.
We sincerely hope they will, upon
timely reflection, retract their answers
at an early period; if not, they will
have to abide the consequences of
their business, which can now be read
in the feelings, the sentiments, and the
WILL, of an outraged and injured pub

is to be adjudged contempt, then any aus ger

judges idea of correct return may
brig punishment upon the respondent.
If this is to stand as a precedent, it is most
dangerous to personal liberty. But it cannot
be. The idea of "contempt" in respectful
and truthful return, whatever legal and techni-
cal errors there may be in it, is impossible.
The contemplate feature in this case is the

We print this morning the decision of Judge
Kane in the Philadelphia Slave case, committing
Passmore Williamson to prison for contempt of
Court, alleged to have been committed in his
answer to the writ of Hsbeas Corpus served on
him at the suit Of Mr.. Wheeler. Judge Kane's
decision is the most outrageous abuse of power
that has thus far dsgraced the bench of this
country. A writ of Habeas Corpus was served on
Mr.. Williamson to produce the bodies of the
slaves fMr Wheeler. Mr.. Williamson returned
in answer that the bodies were not and never had
been in bis possession or control. That was
the literal truth, and Judge Kane knew it to be
so; yet he pettifogs the case in way as origi-
nal as it is mean, aud says in effect that
Williamson had theoretical legal control because
he was the getter-up and adviser of the mob OF
negroes who took the slaves away. And so, not
because be fails to make a polite, dignihed,

THE NEW PARTY.

The Erening Post, in an article which wa copy
! in another column, administers poignant re-
buke to some Democratic journals of the ba'er
sort, that affect to see in ths Republican move.
ment in this State not merely scheme to keep
the Wings in power, but most untimely degree
of attention to national questions, considering
that at the coming election only members of the
Legislature and State Officers are to De chosen.
The Post lie not alarmed by either of these con-
siderations and frankly avo@s its readiness to
coo perate with all classes of citizens in putting
the State decisively on the right side of tae
Kansas-N Nebraska question, and IN preparing for
an ehort in 1855 which will put the Federal
Government on that side also.
There is nothing more untrue than the pre-
tense that the Republican demonstration last
year was managed with view to promote the
interest of the Wbig party. For reasons we
need not here recaptulate it was not deemed
advisable that nominations should be made at
the Saratoga Convention. 1t was thought bet
ter that the matter should be left open, IN order
that both Democrats and Wings might have the
opportunity Of putting themselves upon the Anti
Nebraska platform. The Democrats utterly
failed to do this; while the Wings declared
themselves on that subject in the most satIsftc-
tory manner. There was, then, no other course
for the adjourned Republican Convention at
Auburn but to adopt the Wig candidates.
The approaching Republican Consention Will
repres Mt those electors OF the State who are
inhtxibly opposed to the extension of Slavery.
Ii will consist OF men brought together with sin
gle eye to that great end and who will proceed to
select their candidates for the Offices to be filled
from among the best and ittest persons in the
ranks of the Republican party. Among these
Candidates there will necessarily be some who
have been Democrats and some who have been
Wings; and we can assure all persons that the
mass of those electors who have hereio been
attached to the Wing party will work for the
former quite as enthusiastically for the latter
| Just so, when the time comes TO select canGi-
date for President; if as is not impossible, some
Statesman should be fixed upon whose former
relations were with the Democratic party, he
will nowhere find advocates or supporters more
earnest or untiriDg than among those who in
earlier times were his political antagonists.
The small souled journals and small-souled
men who look Oh politics as trade, very natu-
rally fail to appreciate that state Of feeling
which now prevails throughout the ee States,
and of whose action in 1856 last years elections
gave foretaste. They do not understand that
the people are determined that check shall be
put upon the extension of Slavery, and that the
Federal Government shall at last cease to be
a Southern sectional institution.

We publish elsewhere letter from trus,-

least of the City railroads has resumed that
unwholesome system of bribery By free tickets
which they all formally renowned at the BE-
ginning of the present year. Our CORES ondess
states that the Harlem Company have again
distributed free passes to the members Of tAs
City Government, to the police and others; and
that Police Captain has even refused % re-
lease man in the service of a rival company
simply on the ground that that company hsd
not bestowed on him the same privilege as he
enjoyed upon the Harlem line. We learn also
from another source that the Harlem road have
extended the same pleasing compliment to the
Judges of our Courts; and if any of these er-
cellent magistrates have thought fit to decline
the douceur we shall be happy to be infor ned
of it. Can anybody tell us whether the re-
establishment of this system of petty corrup-
ton had anything to do with the project worked
in the Common Council some time ago, to pro-
hibit the use of steam below Forty-second-st

THE TRANSPORTATION OF GRAIN.

The transportation of grain from all the great
wheat and corn.felds of the West is q subject
which now requires careful Investigation, from
tse immense amount of expenditure which it
has been found 10 involve. The question is
simply as to whether grain shall be transported
in bags or barrels, and that great saving is in
favor of the latter it is purpose to establish.
BY the present system Of moving grain there
is a continual waste from the harvest field to
the mill, and until the -four Is packed 10 tight,
well seasoned barrels. Western wheat is mostly
thrashed from an outdoor stack, and piled and
wnDowed on the ground; then bsgged and
brought to market, where il i, emptied into ele-
vstors, and stored in bulk-the center Of the
pile often heating until its value is destroyed.
1t is then shipped in bulk, and when it arrives
at Buffalo is transferred by elevators to a canal
bOst and thence to q store-house in this City.
If il is finally said for expectation, it is put up
in bags suitable for shipping, after having I'M
dergone dozen different landings.
Now suppose the farmer had provided himself
with barrels and put up his grain on the farm,
