Interestlnz LegIslature.

The three last days. in the Senate, have
been marked by intelligence and some
what spicy debates, The cardinal points
OF ths two conflicting parties have been
touched, and produced not little cleo
tricity. The canal control was the subject
Of quite fierce discussion, in which un-
der tolersniiy courteous language. several
onslaughts were made pro and con, enter
tanning to listeners. opening sores scarcely
cicatrised, showing however cordially men
may act, on subjects OF immateriel issno,
in the affairs of policy they will bristlp,
when matters hinge upon cogs that consti-
tue the master wheel. But there has been
nothing that has yet inspired the "grave
and reverened seniors" OF the Senate to
such a degree, as the struggle on Mr.
Schleich's resolution relative to bank tax
alton, which involves one OF the bitter r'nubs
Of party strife. The Senator from Fair.
deld bore himselflike a gallant knight, and
met every spear point Of what ever adver'
sary with mailed breast and gave blow
for blow with interest. The Senator from
Auglaize, too, marched up 10 the quss
tion like man.
The acknowledgement Of julicial forct
in the U. s. Supreme Court was by tb,
minority, we had almost said reluctantly
although they fought valorously and we'll
AS they ought, the resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Schleich to tax banks as induvidu
ais, or at least to have bills introduced fo
that purpose reported, to bring the sub
ject again before the Supreme Court fo
review.
The most interesting event in the Sen
ate Of the session was this debate, and i
will define tho position of Senators ON ;
question at once intricate, involved ant
doubtful, until there is change as tc
what is correct Columbus Fact.

FROM WASHINGTON.

NEW YoRR, February l4.-AThe Times
Washington correspondent says liiat there
is Qsits a commotion among the special
fris0ds Of the Administration in regard
TO the charge preferred against Charles N.
Payne. u. 5. Marshal of the Norlhrn Dis
trict Of Illinois, by Mr.. Martin Lis book
keeper. Martin has fled with the Ds-
partment Of the Interior charges against
Payne of malfeAsance in office. misappi-
cation Of public moneys, aud violation Of
the sub-treaury law by making deposits
in the bank. instead Of the sub treasury,
and Of paying the expenses Of the United
States Court in uncursnt. snd deprecated
paper, Gtthe banks II Missouri, and other
Western States instead of gold and silver.
He also produced transcript from the
baaks, showing that in less than four
mounths Payne had drawn from the pub
lie funds 81. 200; while the limits Of his
salary for a whole year, by law is but. Sc.
600. The charges are directly aud une-
quivocslly, with specifications of each.
under separate heads, and we understand
that they are sworn TO by Martin, as be,
ing true, of his own personal knowledge.
and accompanied with an offer on his
part to prove every one Of them, by the
testimony Of other persons.
II is said that when these charges were
made known to the President he replied
that he did not see how he could do any
thiag with them at present, for the reason
that to remove Payne would seem to be a
confession Of The truth Of what udge Doug.
las had said in regard TO the character ,o
somo Of the officers in Illinois. and the
ChlcOgo Herald, Buchanan's sFecial.orgar
would be continued. that paper being edi
ted by Payne, and supported by Marsal's
Office. The subject is now before the
Cabitet for investigation. 1t is probable
that no removal will be made or step ta'
ken during The session, for the reason sug-
gested by the President
1t is understood that il Payne is not re-
moued, Martin will publish the charges
and >peci6cations with ihs proof. The
United officials al Chiboga all take sides
in the controversy, some one side an.
some on the other. s
The Hsrald's correspondent says tht
Department of State has just received two
important treaties from China, one adjus
ting all claims upon that county. and the
other regulating the commercial regulA
lions and scale Of duties between the tw,
countries
The Treaties are Of the highest impor
lance, and are entirely satsil actoIy TO Tx

LATE FROM KANSAS.

We have letter from Kansas as late as
the 4th inst, which says:
every thing here begins to wear the
aspect OF more peaceful times. Captain
Montgomery has given himself up for
trial, and old John Brown has escaped
North-it is said to Iowa. Capt. Mont
gomery promised Gov. Melary that all his
men shall come in and be trie |. Those
who know Montgomery best, and sympa'
thiz.d with him heretofore, say he will
not forget this promise. If this should
prove true.w may soon look for perma-
nent peace, for this result will wipe ou.
the last vestago of the old troubles.
"As far as | can lenar, there is rapid,
growing conservative feeling whiuh must
hereafter control the affairs Of the Terrific.
ry. When ambitious men, East, cease
-nding money here to keep this agitation
for polit al purpose at home, Kansas will
be as peaceful Safe as any in the Union.
and il is certainly one Of tho richest agr-
cultural regions ever saw; the very
country for quiet peaceful and wealthy
population"

The TARIFF QUESTION oN---The Times
Correspondent writes from Washington
upon the Tariff question as follows:
The chances for Tariff modification
during the present session are decidedly
improving. Quite number of Southern
Democrats are beginning to open their eyes
to the utter fallaCy Of Mr.. Cobb's figures
and arguments. and TO the fact that the
country is rapidly pIunging into bankrupt
cy. They are anxious, therefore, to in
Grease the rates Of duties upon imports for
revenue purposes merely, and If the OPP
position will accept any moderate bill for
the purpose, IL can be carried through both
Houses. Gin, G,zette,
