In the Senate, bill was introduced provid-
ing for the payment of the funded debt of the
State. A leading feature of the bill is a provi.
sion which requires the interest and principal
to be paid in this State instead of New York
city. The bill is an important one, and will
elicit much discussion when it comes up in
committee Of the Whole
The Honse bill authorizing the issue of pre-
ferred stock for the extension of the Cincinnati,
Wilmington and Zanesville Railroad, was pas
sed
Mr.. Schleich introduced bill re-enacting
section one of an act to provide for the collec-
ton ofclaims against steamboats, and other wa
ter craft, and authorizing proceedings against
the same by name
The bill of Mr.. Shideler to amend the liquor
law was pretty thoroughly discussed in com
mittee of the Whole and when the committee
rose, the bill was referred to the temperance
committee.
The following bills were INTRODUCED in the
House and read the first time:
A bill by Mr.. Van Vorhes, amending the
Code so as to require corporations bringing
suit for recovery of title, DC, to commence suit
within five years instead of twenty-one
BY Mr.. Bates, repeating sections 5s, SO, so,
81, and 81, of the School Law of 1858.
By Mr.. Jackson, bill making partial appro-
PriatiOns- for the repairing of the Public
Works
By Mr.. Hasmaker, bill amending the liquor
law SO as to allow Judges to remit the impris
Onment penalty in cases of conviction, where If
is the first offense.
By Mr.. French to exempt Agricultural Fair
grounds from taxation.
Mr.. Stout's bill, giving Justices certain per
cent. on moneys collected without judgment
came up to-day for passage, and encountered a
strong opposition, nearly all the legal gentlemen
on the floor speaking against it, twas finally
lost-yeas 81, nays 81.
A Senate bill by Mr.. Miles, prescribing the
duties Of Sheriffs in certain cases; was defeat
ed, but afterwards the vote was reeonsidered
The principal object of the bill is to compel
Sheritfs to bring all conviets sentenced to tbs
Penitentiary at term of Court in any county
at one trip and fixing the number of guards to
accompany the Sheriff in such cases. It was
claimed by the friends of the measure that, in
many cases. great abuses were committed by
Sherifs, by their making several trips to ac.
complish what might be done in one, and draw.
ing fees for each trip. The bill was lost on the
second trial, receiving only Al votes
Several attempts were made to reconsider the
| law of the last session increasing the salaries
of Judges on the Supreme Bench, but they a.
failed, the only effect being an opportunity FOL
members to display their wit and oratory.-
When the House adjourned the bill for that
purpose was pending.-State Journal, I2th.

THE PEN CASES IN GEAUGA AND TRUMBULL.-
Our readers will remember that a Mr. Sches-
singer was arrested in Geauga and Trumbull coun-
ties few weeks since, on. charge of defraading
persons by the sale of steel pens. The affair pro
duced much comment at the time, but it seems the
person complained of has successfully disproved all
the charges of fraud, and the prosecutions have
therefore been abandoned. Weare assured by par
ties in this city, of undoubted responsibility, who
have known Mr.. Schlessinger for years, that he is
dealer in Pens in New York, of long business
standing and good character and that he is not dis
posed TO suffer quietly under the imputatioDs heap
ed upon him by those who caused his arrest, aud
who did it, as is claimed, through spirit of perse-
cution. Personally we know nothing of the cases
which originated in Geauga and Trumbull, but are
satisfied there was some egregious error therein as
the good name of Mr. S. is vouched for in this cty
/ by those who have long known him as an honest
dealer. Ofcourse the newspaper reports of these
| casts should not In any manner work an injury &c
the character Ofan innocent man, and, as we made
note ofthe matter, we take occasion to counteract
/ the same.
Whe clip the above from the Herald of last eve
ming, and affix our endorsement to it as we havt
heard from parties in this city that Mr.. Schessin
ger has for years followed legitimate business il
selling these pens. The minds of the public shoul
be set right in regard to his character, as he cal
bring excellent reference to vouch for his integrity

GENUINE BRANDY.-Within the last few years,

We published come time since letter from our
Ga, Francsco correspondent in relation 10 8 aAw
boundary controversy which has lately sprung ~
b.,ueen the United State, and the British Gov.
eminent. Ii grows out Of the Oregon treaty By
which Mr.. Polk not Only receded from the stss4
he had taken on "a 40, but agreed TO take some
thing le,s than 40. The British rejected a9'
ub.n he proposed il, because that liue contlassl
to the Pacific. would cut of the southern end u
Vaucouyer's Islsnd They proposed instead "
10Th parallel ito the middle OF the channel seps-
rating the continent from Vancouver's Island.
thence southerly through said channel and ths
"Straits of Fucs 10 the Pacific Ocean" Mr. Folk
having obtained the advice OF the Senate 70 accsPs
this offer, ratified the Oregon treaty IN which snis
description Of the boundary is inserted. Bat 1t
SO happens that the ch4nnel separating the cons-
nent from Vsrcouver's Island is split ia two places
into two channels by two groups of small ISLANDS.
One Of these groups occurs st the point wosrs
the 49th parallel strikes the water. In u"
case the group Of small islands Is nearest 70
Vancouvers Island, though between them AMI
that island there is channel nav'gso'e
LOT vessels vi sE's' "''"e So '">'
channel principally used by vessels passing
from Victoria to Fraser River. But on the Prino'-
pal that islands belong TO the shores to which thcy
lie nearest these islands have been freely conceded
10 the British and the channel referred to 10 the
treaty has been taken to be- that between the main
land ard the small group Of islands. Further south
lies another group of small islands, the principal Of
which were named By the Spanish dscoverers
Orcss, San Juan and Lopez. These islands arc
nearer the middle Of the strait than the Other
group but yet decidedly nearer to the shore Of tho
continent than to that of the island. On the same
principle applied to the other case, these islands
ought to belong to US. The British however, have
set up claim t. them, on what ground it is not
easy to understand. AZ they command Bclliugham
Bsy, Admiralty Inlet, in fact all our barbors on tho
Sound, they are of much Importance to us, but Of
very little to the British except to enabe them ia
time of war TO command our hsrbors. The Boand-
AIRY Commissioners appointed by the two Govern
ments have as We understand failed to agree as to
the islands We trust that Mr.. Cass, who WA
SO vigorous stickler for "a 40, will hold on t.
all We have left Of Oregon.

Perhaps the best way of settling the difficulty u
the Police would be absolutely to prohibit all Per-
sons connected with the corps, Commissioners, Ps-
trolmen and all no matter of what party, from vot-
ing at primary elections in any case, or from st-
tending them, except when sent IN an official
capacity to preserve order. With this principle
established, Republicans, Democrats and Aueri-
cans, would all stand on equal terms, and neither
party would have an advantage. Besides, 40 al
know that, for the most part, the primary elections
are matters of private arrangement, In which 1t Is
settled beforehand who is to DO nominated, and
what is TO be done 1t is therefore rather ridiou-
lous to say that the man who is prohibited from
engsging in these arrangements is disfranchised,
for, generally speaking, there is nothing Ike
franchise in the whole business. The police, espe-
cially, should desire to have nothing to do with
these elections; for, as a military body, they arc
especially liable to be degradngly used in them for
the benefit of interruptions superors. This is a
truth which many of them are familiar with by
experience, and which no one will deny. Let tho
policemen, then, have nothing to do with politics,
except to vote at the regular elections; and we
dare say the public duties which We pay them for
will be none the worse performed on that account.
