The Legislature.

Several bills Of public importance passed
the Senate yesterday, amongst them bill
providing additional appropriations for the sup
port of the Lunatic Asylum, and the sum of
S5o,OOo for an extension to the bailding.-
House bills granting an extension of time to
the New Orleans, and jackson Railroad, for
the completion of the work, and for the lio-
uidation of the debts of the Leyee District two
years-passed by decided majorities Amotion
to lay on the table, the Minority report in favor
Of making provision for the payment of the
Planters Bank Bonds, prevailed by vote of
Il tot. An amendment by Mr. West, de-
claring that we do not deny the constitution
atty of the Bonds, but believe it improper to
take definite action On the subject at this time,
in view of our sectional relations, was laid
on the table by vote Of Is to 8. a motion
to lay the Majority report on the table was
then carried, the effect of which was to dismiss
the whole subject from the consideration Of
the Senate very righteous decision.
In the House yesterday, several important
questions were disposed of; at 10 O'Clock, the
special order of the day,-the bill introduced
by Mr.. Chambers for the liquidation of the
debts OF the Levee District being the special
order, called up, and passed, amended
upon motion Of Mr.. Barksdale, to exempt the
back counties from the operations of the law
for the years 1864 and 1865. A bill was
also passed authorizing the Governor to ap-
point an assistant to the State Geologist, with
a-salary of fifteen hundred dollars, per annum.
The resolutions on State and Federal re-
lations. as amended by the Senate, was called
up in the evening, and upon motion of Mr..
Wilson, the House receded from its amend
ments, and the resolutions were adopted, but
very few voting against them. .sa.s-3

The Lennon Slave Case.

BE- *
This celebrated case, involving principles
scarcely less important than those settled N
the Dred Scott decision, is again brought to
public notice by its coming up for argument
in the New York Court of Appeals. whei0it
has just been reached. The leading facts of
the case are as follows:
I" In November, 1850. Jonathan Lennon,
with his wife and eight slaves, came to New
York from Virginia to seek direct passage
to Texas, where they proposed to settle. The
presence IF the slaves having been discovered
a writ Of habeas corpus was obtained from
Hon. Elisha Paine,- then q Justice of the Su-
preme Court, but since deceased, inquiring why
the negroes were deprived of liberty. Upon
the return of the writ, and after full hearing
of the arguments presented by MIR. LemmoR's
counsel, Judge Paine ordered the slave to be
discharged, and they were discharged accord
ingly. Mr.. Lennon at once carried the order
Of the Superior Judge into the Supreme Court,
upon a. writ Of certiorari, where, after con-
test Of years, the General Term affirmed the
original order. The case was, in 1851, appeal
ed to the present jurisdiction, where it will be
finally decided with the aid of the new light
afforded by the Dred Scott opinions"
The case was argued by Mr.. O'Connor for
the plaintiff, NemmOn) and by Messrs Blunt
and Evarts for the defence. The decision had
not been rendered at last accounts.

cred that wereever incurred, were wiped out o
existence forever. It wen known that thous

of that-law, and tho the debts thus cancelled
were legal and binding in every sense, will

ksissippi for rejeeting unconstitutional and
fraudulent claims against her, that they Tack

transactions?' Will he cOntinue to asperse
the name of Mississippi for maintaining her
just rights and refusing to be plundered for
the benefit. of stock gamblers, and sing peans
over the grave Of the old Wing party which
brought into existence the gigantic scheme oi
reputation known as the '' Bankrupt act?"
As certain as one day follows another, the
recognition and payment of the Planters Bank
Bonds, would be followed by demand for the
payment of the Union Bank Bonds. And

p In this connection, it may not be improper
to remark that it is little singular that when
ever prospect exists for the organization of
a U nion party" this Bond question, in some
form or other, is sure to come up. Our readers
have not forgotten the suit brought against
The State in 1852, in the interest of the hold

Tribute to Mississippi valor.


g The New York Journal Of Commerce re-
produces an extract from the New York Pres
byterlan Witness, somplmenting the hereism
and patriotism Of the South, and says: q.
10 the above from the Presbyterian Wit
ness, we will add, that the whole history Of
the country shows that Southern men are full
Iy equal to. Northern men, as soldiers. Who
turned the tide of battleat Buena Vista, when
an Indiana regiment gave way. and 0'Brien's
artillery was everpowered? !? The Mississippi
regiment; whose rifles, bowie-lnives and des-
perate valor, the Mexicans could not with
stand What regiment of volunteers suffered
most in the bloody battles which preceded the
capture of the Mexican capital; thus showing
that they had been in the thickest of the
fight? The Palmetto regiment, from South
Carolina. No; instead Of reproaching the
South with lack of courage, the North has
reason to be proud ofits Southern heroes,
and would be, if there was any common cause
which should summon North and south to
the conflict, shoulder to shoulder. The North
perfectly well knows that the South is ehiEal-
rons and brave; and the miserable 6FAggaae-
clos who talk otherwise, deal. with Southern
bravery lust as they deal with everything
else. North or South, that is net graduated ac-
eordino to their standard. 2"

4 The New York Day Book, in some stric-
lures on Judge Douglas late movement in the
Senate, ostensibly to provide for the protection
Of the Southern States against conspiracy in
Northern States, but in truth to bamboozle the
South into his support for the Presidency, re-
marks upon the enormous increase Of the
natural tendency to consolidation in our federal
system, and to the mistaken and demoralizing
course of the Northern Democrats in trusting
to law merely, instead of opinion to fulfill
Constitutional Obligations. The Day Book
remarks :. 4t esi @ s
This mistaken and demoralizing course of
Northern Democrats has done more mischief
than all the "anti-slayery' efforts together.
and Mr.. Douglas himself, has been and is now
more dangerous man to the country on the
slavery question: than Senator Seward
But we have no apprehension IN regard to this
mischievons proposal OF Mr.. Douglas so long
as such clear headed State Rights statesmen

never consent that the proud soyereignties
