Canal Bank Of CLEVELAND.

The bill introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Monroe to enable the Canal Bank of Cleveland to
close its affairs passed the Senate some days ago,
and it has also passed the House unanimously.
1t is high time that the old rascaity was entirely
wound up. 1t has afforded picking for Receiver
for years, and bid fair to till doOmsday. Mr..
Monroe is entitled to thanks for the act which
takes effect from its passage, and provides as
follows:
That it shall be lawful for the receiver of the
Canal Bank of Cleveland, upon the written ad-
vice of the Auditor of State and Treasurer of
State TO that effect, to sell at public auction, any
claim, Judgment, lien, or interest in his hands,
over which he has control as such receiver, after
having first advertised the same once per week
for eight consecutive weeks in two newspapers
Ofgeneral circulation in the city of Cleveland.
A pertinent description of each claim shall be
given in such advertisement, and the proceeds
of said sale or sales, after the defraying of ne
cessary expenses of advertising and sale, and
shall be paid over to the Treasurer of State, for
the benefit of bill holders, and other creditors
of the banks, as prescribed bylaw.

snnanin ronlI, rnrnlinn.

The Governor of South Carolina has done
himself credit by an act equally polite and
humane, which deserves TO be chronicled with
cOmmendation, whether il proceeded from the
head or from the heart, or from judiciOusly
combined action Of both these organs. He
has pardoned u white man, Michael Porter,
Of the steamer Marion, running between this
port and Charleston, who had been tried and
sentenced 10 death for aiding slaves to escape
on board Of the vessel to which he was at
tached
In doing this, Gov. Gist has shown himself
far wiser man than his misnamed colleague
Of Virginia. Although John Brown, in point
Of fact, made himself amenable to the extreme
penalty Of the law by the murders of which his
invasion was the cause, yet the style in which
his execution was urged by the Va. Press and
the reasons given for pressing him to the
gallows, were such as to make nine-tenths of
the world believe that the old ranger of 0ssa-
Watomie really earned his death solely and
simply by his devotion to the cause Of lib
ertyi and that Virginia slew him because he
sought to free her slaves It is this belief
which has invested John Browns memory
with the Hureole Of martyrdom in the eyes
Of the Anti-Slavery world, and which gives
point to Victor Hugo's antithetical onslaught
upon the United States for shocking the moral
sentiments of the race with the spectacle of
washington staying Spartacus." Gov. Gist
has sagaciously defeated fanaticism of new
hero in the person of sSiiichael Porter, while
he has saved his State from the fragrant scan
dal Of deliberately putting a human being to
death for initiating the example set by that
gallant son Of Sorth Carolina who ventured
his liberty and lis life to rescue Lafayette
from the dungeons of Austria at Olmutz.-

DeAR LEApER:--The warm sun is fast dissi
pating the snow which had fallen to the depth
Of at least six inches, and the promise now is
that the extreme cold weather has passed for
the winter.
The House of Representatives does not cit
to-day, and members have ample time to ar
range the remaining offices that are TO be disN
posed Of by an election.
When Speaker Pennington shall have con.
stituted the Committees, and Mr.. Forney made
his appointments, juster estimate of the real
value of that late triumph achieved by the de-
feat of slave democracy can bo made than is
possible now.
Yesterday while seated in the Ladies Gallery
Of the House, gentleman who sat beside me,
finding that was from the North, remarked to
me that in the Harpors Ferry affair Gov. Wise
had made a fool of himself and disgraced his
State, for which, as a VirginiAn, he felt hearti
y ashamed Such remark from such a source
surprised me, and induced me to pursue the
conversation.
found him to be an intelligent, well to DO
farmer, cultivatiEg about 400 acres Of lane, and
owning seven slaves. He assured me that he
could stand in his own door and count the
homes of at least one hundred Virginians who
were strongly in favor of the election of Mr.
sherman for Speaker and of Republican
President, many of whom he. said were made
Republicans by tho course pursued by Gov.
Wise.
For himself, he said, he dared to speak his
sentiments being stakeholder; but the great
majority of his neighbOrs dare aot, being non
slAvehOlders and men of small property, lisp
their real sentiments to any body but TO him.
lie remarked with great earnestness that he
was born in Virginia, and felt himself devoted
to her best interests and that to be rid Of negro
slavery was the greatest want Of the State; and
what is more, said he, it we had the secret
ballot, 80 that men dare vote their sentiments,
he believed that Virginia would tO~day vote for
freedom. Much more was said by this repre-
sentative man which l have not time to relate,
but which demonstrated to my mind that ere
long the smOthered voice of millions will break
from many parts of the South, in a manner
which will cheer the hearts of those true Re-
publicans who are in earnest upon the subject
OF universal freedom. Yours, Q.

Board of Public works.

We are glad TO record that the bill to repeal
section 6, of the act of 1858, concerning the
Board Of Public Works, has Been engrOssed for
a third reading in the House. The section to
be repealed, is that which organizes the Public
Works into three divisions, each under separate
supervision Of a member of the Board. This
section virtually organized three Boards of
Public Works, and was designed by the Dem
Ocrats to give Mr.. Backus, the only Democrat
in the Board, undue political power. The bill
will undoubtedly become law.

AgrIeulture in Jeaers0n Territory.

A
1t Las been generally supposed that the
region of the Pike Peak gold mines, now
known as Jefferson Territory, was not valua-
hle as an Agricultural country. A Denver
City correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat,
who has tramped through the most important
districts of the Territory, and has taken
pains to inform himself thoroughly, comes to
the conclusion that within the described lin
its of Jefferson, there is a sufficient quantity
of frst-class tillable land to furnish two
thirds of the breadstuffs and all the vegeta-
population of one hundred thousand actual
residents. He figures up in the fertile valley
of the Arkansas and its tributaries, and in
the great valley Of the South Platte and the
streams which swell the tide of that river,
a total of one million one hundred thousand
acres of number one bottom land, capable Of
raising almost any kind of crops. Then ad-
joining these bottoms is what is called the
second bottom or first table land, of more
than twice their width, upon which will grow
barley and new Mexican wheat, with as much
certainty as those crops are raised in the
States.
At the mouth of the FOntaine qui bouille,
Ont the Arkansas, considerable corn has been
raised for twenty years; and upon the North
Platte, two hundred miles north of Denver
corn, wheat and vegetables have been raised
for years which would have been regarded as
fair crops in the States. The Cache la Poudre
leaves the mountains about fifty miles NORTH
of Denver City, and after an eastern course
Of some fifty miles empties into the sOutl
Platte, affording lovely valley, the future
garden spot Of Jefferson. The writer de
scribes it as fine grazing district, afordinl
anever failing supply Of winter grass, and
adds:
There are many claims upon this river al.
ready siaked off and claim cabins erected
but thers are now at least co. 900 acres open
to claimants, every foot of which will be
seized apon by the earliest of next spring,
emigration.

Security or tho Public Moneys.

Mr.. Stanley has introduced an important bill
in the Senate, to provide for the better regula-
tiOn and safe keeping of the public moneys. 1t
is substantially the law of 1856, drafted by Mr..
Tayler, the present Auditor Of State, and en-
bodies some Of the Safeguards of the indie
pendent Treasury law. 1t is designed as sub
stitute for the law of last session, and is fully
in accordance with the suggestions on the sub
iect contained in the late message OF Governor
Chase and inaugural of Governor Dennison.

seamsu's Hospital money and Hospitals.

Seamen's Hospital Money and Hospitals.
A move has been made in the United States
Senate to abolish by law the exaotiOn of twenty
cents from the monthly wages of seamen in
the merchant service of the United States, and
Of boatmen on the American waters, conslitu-
ting what is called "hOspital money" so that,
when sick or disabled, they may enjoy their
present privileges at the marine hospitals
without the present tax. A resolution direct
ing the Committee on Commerce to consider
the expediency Of the matter was introduced
by Mr. Sumner, of Mass, and on motion of
Mr.. PGgh, of Ohio, the resolution was amend
ed by adding that the Committee also consider
the expediency of sbOlishing the present sys-
tenn of marine hospitals. The resolution as
modified, was adopted
In moving the amendment, Mr.. Pugh stated
that the Secretary of the Treasury has notified
Congress for the last three or four years that
the marine hospitals were a source of great
expense, and that seamen can be supported at
much less cost Mr.. Pugh therefore thought
the e1pedieRcy of dispOsing Of the marine hos
pitas should be enquired into. Selling off the
marine hospitals would be about on a par with
the sale of the government dredging machines,
De, when the Democrats began to veto Harbor
and River Appropriation bills. "POOr Jack"
