Lsg,.lativs summary.

On Saturday in the Senate, the bill pass
ed, apprepriating $4,000, to be expended by
the Board of Agriculture for a geological
reconnaissance of the State, preparatory to
thorough geological survey.
Senator IIeffren. of Washington and Har-
rison counties, resigned his seat, in conse-
quence of the censures cast upon him by
the committee to investigate the difficulty
that arose between him and Senator Good
ing. He said on the afternoon of the day
on which it happened, he had made an apol-
ogy to the Senate which he considered
ample. The Senate had seen fit to appoint
a committee to investigate matters connect
ed with the origin of the difficulty, and the
report which would be made contained res
olutions of censure of himself, and declara-
tons that the part he had acted was an in
suit to the Senate aud Senators. He could
not consent to remain member of a body
he had insulted. He should go home and le
those whose representative he had been pas
on his conduct as Senator.
The bill for the formation of limited part
nership, which had failed once for want o
constitutional majority, and it was again
put on its passage, when it was endorsed b,
a majority of the Senate.

VOTE ON THE HOMESTEAD BLL.-An All
alysis of the vote on the Homestead Bill,
which proposed to give q farm to every des-
titue and unfortunate citizen who wonld
occupy and cultivate il, shows it to have
been defeated by those who have been loud
est in their professions of regard for the in
terest of the laboring masses. The course of
Niblack, Bright and Fitch will, if not repu-
dated, be a reproach to the Democracy of
Indiana. The bill passed the House by the
overwhelming vote of 100 TO &c, Mr.. Nib
lack being one OF the few members from the
free States that opposed it, In the Senate
there were but two vcsss from slave States
for it, viz: Bell and Johnston, of Tennessee.
OF the Democratic Senators, only nine sus-
tanned it; they were: Broderick and Gwin,
of California; Douglas Stuart of Michigan /;
johnson, of Tennessee; Pugh, of Ohio; Jones
of Iowa and Rice and Shields, of Iinneso-
ia. Against it were twenty-three votes
from the Southern States, and only six votes
in opposition to it from the free States
These were from devoted adherents of the
Administration, viz Allen, of Rhode Island;
Bigler, of Pennsylvania; BRIGHT and
FITCH, of Indiana Thompson and Wright,
! of New Jersey The votes of the Indiana
| Senators might have saved the bill, mad they
represented the sentiments and views of the
| State.

tees to lease the canal having failed to re-
ceive the sanction Of the Legislature, the
question what can be done to keep the canal
in order, forces itself on the attention OF all
interested in any way in the maintenance of
this public work.
The Trustees, to whom the management
belongs by law, tell us, plainly, that they
have not the means to keep it in repair, and
unless those interested come to their aid,
the work must be abandoned. Is the work
itself of sufficient value to Evansville and
the country South of Terre Haute, through
which the canal passes. to create interest
enough to give the "material aid to con-
tinue 1t in operation q?
II is folly for few individuals to strain
every nerve, and use every effort to keep in
operation public work, unless the public
feeling is with them. Let every man put
the question to himself, how much will
be benefited by having the Canal kept IN
working order or show much will be my
share Of the loss by having it closed 2" If
any man concludes he will not be benefited
ia "copper"" then "let it slide" If another
concludes his interest will be promoted by
keeping the Canal open for trade and traffic
for supplies of fuel or water--let him
come forward and make it known; let us
see how the matter stands, and determine
what we will do. Mr.. Bowling, in his let
ter Of yesterday, says: "The Trustees will
be glad to confer with yourself and other
citizens at any time after the goth of March )"
and says further: "If anything is done, it
is important that it should be done at once"
Now, to test the matter, propose that the
citizens along the line, as well as at Evans
vile and Terre Haute, hold primary meet
ings and discuss the subject, and appoint
delegates tc general Convention, to be
held at Evansville, on Wednesday, the 23d
of March; and that the Trustees be invited
to meet the Convention, and see if some line
of action can be adopted to insure the con-
tinuance of this public work
l mention Evansville not us a centra
point, but as place more easy of access
than most places on the line; and as many
persons have business connection with Ev
ansville, it would, perhaps, be more convent
ent to most persons who wish to attend thu
convention than most other places, and a!
the Evansville and Charlottesville Railroad
is generally, liberal, the Superintendent
would, nc doubt, arrange for retarn tickets
If the friends of the canal along the lin
will let me know their wishes | will Sc
that the necessary notices are sent out

cation of frauds in the administration of
Naval affairs, have disclosed frauds, corrup-
ton, and peculations in every department
grave to warrant the impeachment of the
Secretary. Some of the revelations impli-
cate the President and convict him of being
accessory to the frauds practiced in the
election of Florence from the Philadelphia
district. Among other documents brought
to light was the following letter from Col.
C. W. Patterson, of Philadelphia, urging
the award of contract to certain foundry
in Philadelphia because the managers of it
could control $50 votes in the election of
Col Florence. The letter was found on file
in the Navy Department with Mr.. Bucha-n

to command to the Secretary to comply
with the request.
