CANAL ToLLs.-Business on the Canal, OF New
York continues to be satisfactory. Up to the IS h
instant the total receipts of the season exc d
those of the corresponding period last year by
Sli5,Si. We learn from Western papers that
the receipts CT grain at lake ports very large;
and this fact, taken in connection with the bonn.
uful harvest, which has already commenced in
the Mississippi Valley, affords assurance that the
Erie Canal will have full employment throuy h
the remainder of the season. That its revenue
should be so largely increased under a reduced
tariff Of tolls, is particularly gratifying We
see no present indications Of that so often pre-
dicted catastrophe the utter annihilaion of canal
business by the railroads

Trial Of Rev. Daniel Dewney.

The argument In this deeply interesting case
(says the Staunton Spectator) was brought to
close on Tuesday afternoon last, the counsel hav-
ing occupied about twenty-eight hours of actual
speaking. The case was in the hands of thejny
until Thursday morning, when they we've dis
charged, having failed to agree upon 4 verdict.
The evidence of the Commonwealth witnes-
seS showed that on the mig ht OF the 18th OF De-
Gem her last, persons passing by discovered the
dead BODY Of Mullins on the pavement near Dow
ney's house. Oficers entered the house and
found Downey lying on the floor OF the front
room in a state of intoXication.

Downey's housekeeper Mrrgaret Lee, and PROM
Used to marry her, but put 1t off from day to day.

veycd him out of the house. Neither of them

of his being expected up all day Saturday When

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

SPIhII Or IHE MOhNING fhESS'
The InteiiigeRcer Tepublishes the charge oil
Judge Campbell to the grand jury of the UNI
ted States Circuit Court for the Southwestern
district, which commenced its session at New
Orleans on the 30th ult. The charge IS princl-
pally devoted to the neutrality laws and the
laws for the suppression of the slave trade
The I,felligeacer says the charge will be found
to repay perusal, no less for its solid merits
than for the lucid treatment which these much
controverted subjects receive at his hands.
The Union treats of - The Peoples Party"
and its polyglot schedule of principles saying
that the effort now to make a hotchpot of the
principles on each of which they have been
beaten successfully, and to unite all the frag-
ments of the opposition in support of n schedule
embracing the essence and spirit of all, pre-
SCENTS state Of things as grotesque and droll
to the beholder as perplexing to the parties
Immediately engaged in it. Their principles,
condensed in the resolutions adopted by a re-
cent opposition convention held at Dover, is q
very fair embodiment of the programme of the
opposition for the approaching congressional
elections If, says the Union, it shall be
found to answer good purpose in these cleo
tons, and shall escape being battered to piece
by the guns of the Democracy, then it may b
employed also as the programme for the cam
paign of 1850. 1t is flimsy platform and vii
hardly weather single campaign.

IHE RECORD MADE UP, AND THE FINALE OF
THE ANrI-ExrRA ALLOWANCE, OR "WHIrrLE
sEY WAR. In an interesting list of acts and
resolutions passed by Congress, and published
in a recent number of the Star, is the following
proper paragraph
"A joint resolution In regard to carving the
United states mails from St. Joseph. Missouri
signed by the officers of the two Houses of Com
gress and presented to the President, but not re-
turned by him as approved"
This is as it should be. 1t states fact which
ought always to appear On the journal of leg
islative body, and places the responsibility
where 1t belongs and where, doubtless, the
President desired to place it, since the route of
the Pacific railroad is not yet determined in any
manner.
The same sort of notice does not appear in
the Senate journal of the second session of the
Thirty -fourth Congress, in relation to the fate
of the joint resolution relating to extra com
pensation for two preceding periods, which did
not meet the approval of President Pierce.
The ingenious explanations why he did not
sign the joint resolution do not seem to have
prevented Congress from passing prohibitory
section to operate az future. Besides, it may
be seen that, in a document Of the second ses-
sion 1hirty-second Congress, p. 2S5, the ex-
PLANTATION passed both Houses, not approved
by the President" was properly then given,
and no good reason exists why it should not
always be given. Its suppression looks like
making mystery of what should be the exhibit
ton of an honest record of facts, whether of
iitue or much Importance. But, let it pass.
AS the result OF long contentious of privilege
at one end Of the Avenue, and of steady protest
IN INC Executive branches Of the General Gov
ernment ut the other, it may be proper to state
that the following, taken from the appropria
ton act ''ior sundry civil expenses of the Gov
eminent for the year ending Both June, 1859"
has been approved by President Buchanan,
AMI is therefore the settled law of the Demo-
cratic Congress, which has just departed hence
