The Senatorial Law.

The Indianapolis Journal says that the
bill regulating the mode of elGcting United
States Senators was debated with morespirit
and force on Wednesday, than any that has
come up this session. Governor Hammond
(the Senate being in committeeofthe whole
made the leading speech against the bill, and
was replied to with vigor and telling effect
by Messrs March, Murray and Steele. Mr..
Heffren spoke too. His argument was
brief, though his speech wasn't, 1t consist
ed solely of the declaration that if any a
tempt was made to elect Senators this win

scheme be is carrying out the well learned

lesson of last session. To their credit be it
said, several Democratic Senators declared
that they would take no part in such
factious action that, though they could not
vote for other United States Senators, they
would interpose no revolutionary resistance
to the will of the State The bill is on its
second reading, and we have little doubt
that it viii pass in few days. The Cover
nor will veto it, of course, but if it can be
passed in the first instance it can be passed
over his veto.

Reports from the Departments.
POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT.


The fact is prominently set forth that from
and after the lst of July next, the mails are
TO be conveyed between New Orleans and
Washington in three and half days.
The expenses of the Department over and
above its resources, have regularly increased
ever since the reduction of the postage. 1t
would, however, be obviously erroneous to
suppose that this charge upon the Treasury
is TO progress in a ratio proportionate to
what it has been for the last few years. Our
postal system is now extended over the
whole country from one ocean to the other,
and there can be little further expense re-
sulting from the overland connection with
California except on one other route, COM
monty called the Northern route. No other
is now thought of as likely to become nee
essary.
The Postmaster General proposes, in lieu
Of the franking privilege now allowed by
law to members of Congress, that the Sec
retary of the Senate, or such other officer as
may be designated for the purpose, furnish
the members with postage stamps, to be
used on all letters, public documents, &C.,
transmitted by them in the mails, and keep
an account of those furnished each member,
to be paid for out of the contingent fund OF
the House. All letters, &c, to members OF
Congress to be prepaid at the mailing Of
fees, and uniform rate of five cents for all
distances is postponed
On the both of June last there were In
operation 8,296 mail routes, the length o.
which is estimated at 260,608 miles at
cost of 1885, AIS, being an addition of 1s,-
900 to the length of the routes and SlI3,37

for The current year are Slo,6l6,947 ant

BEAR LOosE.-On Saturday, Il grizzly
bear was brought to Washington in the car
of Adams Express, designed as present to
the Smithsonian Institute. During the night
Bruin knawed out of his cage, and when the
door of the car was opened this morning he
was ready to walk out, and would have
done 80 had it not been rudely slapped to in
his fac. What was now to be done? Some
said give him strychnine but finally a hole
was cut in the roof of the car, and moose
slipped around the beast. After considerable
delay and danger he was again Gagged. One
man received slap from his paw, which he
will long remember. The whole scene was

To make up the present deficiency, and to
meet the State expenditures for the current
year will require 81, 100000. The expen-
ditures for 1859 are estimated at $474,000,
which, added to the deficiency in the last
and present years revenue, will make the
sum of 81, 574 900, to be provided for in the
next assessme mt of State taxes.
The Auditor estimates the value of
taxable property in the State at 1926, 000,-
900. A tax of % cents on the 500, would
yield a gross revenue of $4,000. A tax
of so cents on the poll would yield S1OO, 900
making an aggregate revenue of $4,000.
Deducting the expenses of collecting and
delinquencies, the Auditor calculates on the
the receipt of S692, 500 from the next assess
ment. Adding to the above sum the delu-
sive balance now in the Treasury of $751;
342 %, he makes the total resources of 1859
to be 1923, ,842; deducted estimated expeu-
ditures for 1859, S559, ,335. He will have
a balance of $264, ,5O7, to be applied to the
repayment of the amounts taken from the
trust funds.
1t is evident from this statement that the
Treasury is nearly empty. The pretended
balance in the Treasury" consists princi-
pally, we presume of bad debts, embracing
the drafts of May and Bright and other in
solvent paper. 1t will be seen that the State
printing--in year when there was nc ses-
sion of the Legislature, cost $4,000 more
than the support of the entire Judiciary of
the State. There is manitestly something
very rotten in this department of public ex-
penditure, which demands rigid scrutiny
by the committee of the Legislature. 1t is
difficult to conceive what has been done,
to justify even at the most extravagant
prices, draft on the Treasury for SAL, $50
under the head of public printing
1t will be seen that the receipts from the
Wabash and Erie Canal were S117,910; ex-
penditures $255, ,2O2; loss Sl38, 292.

The report of the Indian Commissioner,
estimates the number of Indians within our
limits at 10000. The whole number of
tribes and bands, is IT'S, with "A only of
which we have treaty engagements. The
quantity of land acquired by these treaties
is upwards of 5sl 900, ,O0o(?) acres, and the
cost to the Government of fulfilling these
treaties, has been nearly $4,000, 900.
The whole amount of the trust fund held
on the Indian account is upwards of $l0,-
$4,000. He points out several errors
which have heretofore marked our policy
towards the Indians; makes several impor-
taat suggestions for the future, embracing
among them a recommendation that the va
rious tribes should be permanently located
ON reservations not larger than is necessary
for actual occupation, and that they should
be required to live upon and cultivate their
reservations. He also recommends the rati-
fication of the treaties made with the Indians
of Washington and Oregon Territories as a
means of preventing further hostilities.
COMMISSIONER LAND oEPICE.
The report of the Commissioner Of the
Land Office, covers a period of FIVE quarters,
ending September, 1858, at which time
there were surveyed nearly 81, 900, 900 acres
Of land, which had never been offered for

has been sold 1906, 900 acres for cash, from
which upwards of $25,000,000 were rea-
lized The whole amount of lands sold and
located under:military warrants and swamp

MARRlED-At the Lutheran Parsonage, on
the evening Of the lst inst, by Rev Lloyd
Knight, TOBIAS II. WERTZ, Of near Holli-
daysburg, to Miss MARY c. WAUGH, of
UagerstoUD, Md
The simple ,facts In tie caSe.-A half an
hour previous to the marriage, Miss Matilda
a. CALDWELL, in company with another lady,
was passing by the Parsonage door on her
way to prayer meeting. She had known
nething Of her friends wedding on that even
ing. Ladies were at the dOor-a conversation
took place as she was passing. She was in
vted in to see her friend, the intended bride
and then by the warm request of the lady of
the house and many others she was prevailed
upon to remain. The evening passed Of most
agreeably and pleasant to all. There were
two horses and vehicles, each to take a lady
who lived some distance in the country. 1t
so happened, without any previous arrange
ment or intention, that these drove up just as
the ladies Of town were leaving for home,
about ii O'Clock at night. 1t was dark, but
otherwise pleasant to be out. Some one re-
marked: "Take the ladies home first who live
at distance in town" OF course the gen
temen would comply with this request. Miss
Caldwell had almost reached her home in
Gaysport, when light from window near
Confer's tavern suddenly fell upon the horse s
head and in the path before him. He instant
ly took fright badly, but was ably and skill
fully managed by the young man until the
line broke. He then Immediately jumped
out, and risked his own life in striving to catch
the horse, but in vain. He escaped-Miss G
was killed. In moment after the horse was
loose she attempted, it is thought, to jump
out-fell on her head in the road, and died
three hours afterwards. Had she remained
in, no one can say it would have been any
better, for in few moments more the vehicle
was dashed to pieces. 1t is useless to say, all
was done that possibly could be done in the
case. No effort was spared to bring relie
and save life. But alas, all in vain Death
had marked his shining victim, and poor Til
lie C. must 90 to her long home. Never ha:
there anything happened in this community
that has filed the hearts of friends with more
sincere sorrow and sympathy, and cast {
deeper gloom over the whole community, thar

seemeth good unto thee" Not oar loiH, bu

REMARKABLY PHENOMENON.
POPLAR RIDGE, N. Y, Sept. ,, 1857

POPLAR RIDGE, N. Y, Sept. ,, 1857.
Yesterday at about 4 o'clock, P. NJ, the
atmosphere became suddenly filled with
myriads of insects, of type entirely un-
known in this region, as far as | can learn.
The phenomenon is known to have extern
ded several miles, and appears to have oc-
CURED at the same moment. The insect is
about one-fourth of an inch long, and close
ly resembles the common ant But the
strangest part of the matter (that is to me)
remains to be told. AS soon as they ap-
peared they began to alight upon whatever
object they came in contact with, and to
gl0e birth to ,young insects, ready 1cinged,
which, in few seconds, ascended into the
air, while the old ones threw themselves in
to violent contortions, which continued un-
tilthey had succeeded in ridding themselves
of their wings-after which they appeared
to feel much relieved, and ran briskly
about upon the ground, as contented
apparently, as though they had possessed
the power of fight IL an hour the earth
was alive with these fallen insect-angels,
and strewn with their lifeless wings
while their tiny, newborn progeny had as
cended and were sporting in the beams of
the evening sun. This morning the pa
rent insects may be seen secreted in the
grass, or whatever offered protection for
the night, while the new generation appear
dormant upon the surface, awaiting the
warming rays of the rising sun. Ento-
mologsts may be familiar with such a per-
petuation Of an insect race, without the
intervening link of the larvae, If so will
some one enlighten US on the subject p
