COLUMBUS, Jan. 2Ist., 1857.
Mssrs. Editors Since l last wrote
you, there has but little of general in
terest transpired here. A bill passed
the House, a few days age, L. increase
the pay Of jurors to one dollar and fifty
cents per day. but was defea'ed in the
Senate. The bill that passed the Sem
a.e, a few days since, to increase the SAL
aries of Judges, came up in the House
On Tuesday, and was roughly handled,
and barely escaped death, by ohe of its
friends requesting its reference to a spe-
cial committee of three, which was agreed
to. 1 had an opinion, at one time, that
the bill would pass the House, but its
friends, since Tuesday, have ne hope for
it, and the friends of reirenehment and
reform arc highly delighted with their
prospects.
Indeed, l think an increase of salaries
would come with i'll grace from the pre-
sent Legislature, to whom the people are
looking for movements il a different d.
rection-not a decrease of JUICES sala-
ries, but certainly, 10 increase; and a
retrenchment of expenditures wherever
it is 'ccnnti6Ie.'
There is quite a squirming in certain
localities, about the supposed fate of the
bill for the increase Of Judicial salaries,
and the words 'stingy,' mean &c. are
without stint, applied TO the greet State
of Ohio.
Since writing the above. the commit
tee TO whom was referred the Salary
Bill have reported it back to the House
with some amendments, which will GO
through the ordeal this "Wednesday af-
ternoon.
8 o'clock, P. NJ.
The Salary Bill was on hand this af-
.ternoon, and after good many buncomb
speeches, the bill was indefinitely post
poned. There may, and probably will
be, m attempt to re consider the vote
by which it was lost, but l think the
House will admit of no re consideration
of the case.
The subject was ab,y argued by its
friends, and prominent lawyers took
grounds in its favor; but The people re-
fused to yield an inch, and the measure.
so frought with hope to many, is sudden
ly dashed to the ground.
Indeed, after the action of the House
last winter, there was but small grounds
of hope for any such measure this win.

The Bottom of the Atlantic

Lieut.. Maury has examined the bed of
the Atlantic between Ireland and Newfound
land with reference to laying the telegraph
wires. He sounded out the great deep, show
ing rhe absence of currents and all abrading O
forces, and that the wire sinking its whole
length in a soft bed, would rest unharmed
by icebergs. or lodges, or anything else,
forever. He has mapped out the bed of the
Atlantic, which is counterpart Of the sur
face of the earth--giving its mountains and
valleys, as though they had been surveyed
for railroad. Leaving the western shores
of ireland, the bed of the Atlantic slopes
gradually, for about 80 miles. to the depth
of $50 fsthoms. or 1880 feet; there is then
q sudden ascent of plateau, extending for
90 miles, at depth OF 230 fathoms. Again,
there is an immense slope down the side OF
q mountain OF $50 faihoms, or more than
5000 feet, terminating in an immense val
lev I,75O fathoms below the surface of the
ocean, extending for several hundred miles,
with small undulutions OF 100 or 200 faith
oms. Again, there is a lower valley at the
deepest part of the ocean. at , $50 lathoms,
after which there is gradual ascent in the
direction Of New Goundland, to a distance of
l5O miles, where the depth of the water de-
cfeases to about 30 fathoms.

A DRUoGIsT SELLING PoIsoN.-An inquest was
held few days ago. in San Francisco upon the
body of Henry Jansen who died under suspi-
cion of poison. A vial had been found in the
room of deceasc, marked &c. Leipnitz, Apothe-
cary Chemist and Druggist SO Kearny street,
10 drops, 8 times day" The vial contained a
tincture of aconite, which deceased was taking
for rheumatism. TWAS shown on investigation
that it required very little aconite to produce
death that there were three or four prepara-
tions in use, some much stronger than others
After examining witnesses, the Jury brought in
verdict that the deceased came to his death
from some cause or causes unknown to us, but
that be had in his possession vial of tincture
of nearly double the strength of the United
States standard, furnished him by G. Leipnitz,
so Kearny street, and we would strongly repro
bate the conduct Of the druggist in selling
medicine so widely different from acknowledged
standards. We find the name of deceased to be
Henry Jansen, aged about 2S, aud q native of
Emden, Hanover"

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-The San Francisco
Herald says, the opinion is entertained, that the
breaking of the Atlantic cable was the result Of
design, and not accident, as reported. This
suspicion is founded upon the conclusion that
the cable, at the rate it was being paid out, was
much too short to reach across the ocean, and
rather than declare their calculations lily made,
and before losing too much of the cable, they
allowed the accident" to happen. These sus-
picions would seem to be we'll founded for
whether the breaking was accidental or not, the
experiment showed the cable to be toe short,
and furnished the projectors with several other
very useful hints, of which they will not fail to
take advantage when they make another at
tempt. a.t.

KANSAS AFAIRs-Tho best evidence of the
truly National policy of the Administration, in
regard TO Kansas, is that the President and
Gov. Walker are denounced by the fanatics and
sectionalists Of both the North and the South.
In the North every movement Of Gov. Walker
is construed by the "Union-Sliders" into an at
tempt to force slavery into the Territory against
the wishes of a majority of the inhabitants,
while in the South the same acts are held up by
the Sectionalsts as attempts to exclude their
faverite institution. The malcontents of both
sections may rave against the President. but
the really national men, and in fact the great
mass of the citizens of Union, are satisfied with
his course and will sustain him. The contest
now going on between the pro-slavery and anti.
slavery men in Kansas, will shortly be settled
by the voters of the Territory, and in that de-
cision the sectionalists will be forced to aooui-
esce. The defeated party may grumbls and
threaten, and denounce the President and his
advisers, in coarse and bitter terms but they
will do nothing more.

Report of the GRAND jury.

To the Honorable The Court Of Sessions:
This Grand Jury in concluding their labors,
respectfully submit the following report:
A protracted investigation of the late suicide
case in the county Jail, resulted in finding no
positive evidence as to who might have fur-
pished the prisoner Moore with the means OF
taking his own life, but at the same time leaves
but one opionion on the minds of this jury
that Moore obtained the poison through the
agency of his wife, without any knowledge or
cOnnivance on the part of the officers in charge
of the Jail, and in spite Of commendable de-
gree of vigilance on their part.
This jury also desire in this connection, to
express their belief in the utter groundlessness
of the injurious rumors, which have been eircu-
lated in regard to the Reverend Confessor who
visited Moore in his cell OH the night of his death
to administer the last rites of his religion.
In view OF some very valuable services rem
dered to the county and State by one Thomas
Williams now confined in Jail on conviction for
assault, which has come to the knowledge Of
this grand jury and believing that his sentence
was unusually severe, and that he is generally
we'll disposed man. this grand jury have, at-
ter proper deliberation, expressed unanimous
wish that the Court will intercede its authority
and remit the unexpired portion of his sentence.
An examination of the present condition of
the county Jail, shows the comfort Of the pris-
oners well cared for as far as in the power of
the jailors Some of the cells, however, appear
uncomfortably damp-an evil that can only be
remedied by more complete system Of drain
age, which seems very desirable and necessary.
Although the conduct of officers of the Jail
has been already approved, still an increase of
vigilance on their part is recommended and
urged, to guard against the possibility of out
breaks or conspiracies on the part of the pris-
oners there confined,
Il. W. HEYWOOD,
