The officers about the State House and the mem-
bers Of the Legislature Of each party were greatly
sstounded this morning to learn that Canal Bonds
to the amount Of el00, 900 to t150,000 had been
Issued during the first few days Of Cor. Rlsse11s
Administration On forged aud fraudulent indebt-
ednesa. It appears that there Is q kind Of Canal
indebtedness which has been very extensively
copnter.eited, md that large amount Of this
aites the passage Of the law Of 1857, which author
lied the funding Of all forms Of the States obliga-
&ious, was presented to the Fund Commissioner,
Enoch Moore, Esq, for which he, Us directed BY
the act, filed up and delivered an equivalent
amount Of bonds. It Ia now established that all
the genuine Indebtedness Of TINT kind has been
yeam atioat. Immediately upon the discovery q

ncan member OF the Senate, introduced zesoiu.
ton directing the Committee on Finance to send
for persons and papers and examine this afair to
the bottom. Though informed Of the matter by
the officers who have been made the instruments
Of this mistake, or perhaps fraud, I leave tue re-
port Of the committee 10 make IN exposition Of
the facts. This may eay, however, that the bonds
thus issued are in the vaults Of the Treasurer as
security for the Issues Of the State Dauk Of 1llf-
stitutions owned, or, at my rate, controlled By
nois. ut ShRwneetown. An examination shows that
ninetytwo Of the bonds haYe taken that direction.
It il not possible that the State should incur any
loss by this transaction. The bonds are numbered
and registered j; the obligations for which they
we're issued are preserved, with memoranda &C.
companying, setting forth the names Of the parties
to whom the issue VAS made, the dates and all the
minutia OF the TRANSACTION. or course if restitu-
ton is not made, the bonds will be repuliatel
and will become only so much waste paper. Al
yet, ! have heard no one charge that the officers
now in powerare blameable. The committee will
surely e1one1ate them. But prepare to hear the
Democratic papers howl.
But little fault is found With that portion Of the
INV Apportioument Bill Which relates to the
Senate. The Democrats reserved all their ill.,
genulty for the gerrymandering Of the Represeu-
tltiye Districts; and in that work they have had
s'gnh success. gave you an item or two the
other day from which the injustice Of the measure
may be judged but further examination shows
that did not touch hnlf the points upon which
good and ra,;d objections nav he hung.
