. The Canals in the Legislature.

The canals are baving hard times in the Leg
islature. The House of Representatives month:
ago assumed positive and judicous policy, land
passed bill to lease these works to a RESPONSE.
BILE company. The Senate, under the influence
of Mr.. JONES and one or two other Senators,
adopted an evasive and deceptive attitude, and
made professions which are now shown to be
wholly Inconsistent with the intentions and de-
signs of the managers. 10 one thing the Sen
ate was consistent, aud that was in its procras.
tination; for to accomplish the objects designed
that was necessary.
Mr.. JoNEs and his co-laborers, both in and
out Of the Senate, had determined by this means
to compel the House toyield, and turn the ca
nails over, as heretofore, to the Board OF Public
Works, and leave them to continue to absorb the
revenues and drain the treasury.
As the session was rapidly coming to close,
it became necessary for the Senate to act, and
hence few days ago it amended and passed the
House bill, by providing in it's amendment for a
public letting Of the canals on the 2Sth Of
May 1t felt confident the House would
not concur in the amendment, but If it
did, there was good reason to believe
that by the management Of the State officials
there would be no bids made under the law the
Senate proposed to pass. The House, on the
report of q second committee of Conference, on
yesterday, agreed so.a public letting, but requir
ed that il take place before the adjournment, and
the Senate, yesterday afternoon, stultifed itself
by rejecting the report of the same committee
Thus the cloven foot was exposed, and the Sen
ate of Ohio placed in position by no means
creditable to It's candor and fidelity 10 the in
terests of the people and the treasury.
Senator JoNEs' ingenious management pre-
vailed in the Senate, not, however, as We learn,
without efficient and valuable aid from the Ex-
ecutive, of partizan character. Gov. DENsIscS
impressed certain Senators, as we have reason
to believe, with the opinion that il was necessary
for the Republican cause to etain the partizan
patronage of the canals in the hands Of the
State officers. 1t has been proclaimed far and
near, that we have no party any more, and that
there should be none during the present cxigen.
cies Of the Nation, and yet party influence is
brought to bear in this important matter of
State policy, and that, too, at great cost to the
tax payers and the people.
Wha. will now be done by the Legislature
with the Canals, we cannot predict; but it will
be our duty, at an appropriate time, to expose
the miserable trickery and management, which
has for It's object, not the public interest, but
the promotion of selfish and dshonorable ends.
We shall probably give Senator JONES and
some others an airing that will will not elevate
them in the public esteem. 'A

Mr. WOODS moved that the House ask for
another committee of Conference.
Mr.. HILLS opposed this motion, as not com.
porting with the dignity Of the House.
Mr.. HERRICK thought we ought not to
stand upon dignity at this time, when SO much
was at stake. gi,sssi nit
Mr.. DEVORE thought the only proper course
for the House was to adhere to their position.
He believed the people were for the lease; and
IL was our true policy to maintain our present
standing.
Mr.. BR0WNE,of Miami, though tthe House
should waste no more time on this bill. IL was
so full Of CT corruption that no good could re-
suit from consuming any more time on 1t, espe.

Mr.. BLAKESLEE thought another commit.
tee of Conference would be ffuitless. He
thought the two Houses were In such temper
that a compromise on this bill was impossible.
Mr.. BLAKESLEE moved to adjourn, which
was negatived--yeas l2, nays 46.
Mr. WOODS had been surprised at the posi-
ton of the gentleman from Cuyahoga (Blakss-
lee) and the gentleman from Miami (Browne).
He assured mombers that the House was de-.
termined to take these works out Of the hands
OF the State before they adjourned sine de- Votes

The above item we extract from the Colum.
bus letter to the Cincinnati Commercial of the
Sd of May. The man who could indite such a
falsehood should be ashamed to look any honest
man in the face. The Board asked in their an
unal report for appropriations for this year, ex-
ceeding the receipts Of last year, to the amount
of one hundred and sirty thousand dollars. The
correspondent Of the Commercial is the officia
reporter of the Senate, and receives from the
State Treasury four dollars per day.

p We can hardly credit the rumor that MIR.
LINCOLN has made call for forty thousand vol
unteers for three years, and Twenty-Five thou
sand for FIVE years. He may call for as many
troops az he pleases under the law of l795, and
to be used for the purposes specified in mis- proc
lamation of April 18th, 1861; but to call for
troops as above named, would be clear viola
tion Of the Constitution, and hence, we do not
credit the telegraphic report Congress, when
it meets, may give him authority to call for any
number of troops, and for any time he may des'
ignate, and It may be his intention to ask Con-
gress for this, or perhaps larger force, but we
cannot believe that he will call for them in ad-
vance of the meeting of the representatives. o'

G-We have before us the Ashtabula Sentinel
of May2. We have looked in vain through
it's ccluinns for any local military manifesto
tious. Not word Is said about the organiza'
tion of military companies in Old Ashtabula,
and hence we cannot inform our readers to what
extent Senator WADE influenced the people, at
the recent meeting held there to consider the
question. The only important item Of a local
character to be found in the Sentinel ia the
following:

for and against this measure. Petitions against
Il hsd been largely circulated by the employees
lot the State on these works, while the friends
OF the measure had made no particular effort 10
obtain signatures to their petitions. Gentlemen
who Halter themselves that there will be q total
disagreement between the two Houses on this
bill are very much mistaken, for the Houses
will finally agree, and he therefore favored an
other committee Of Conference.
| Mr. ROBINSON. favored q third committee
of Conference, because the people expect and
demand that the State shall be relieved from
this burden.
Mr.. DEvORE hoped this matter would be
postponed until Monday, for, inasmuch as the
Senate had adjourned until Monday afternoon,
it would not expedite the business at all for the
House to act now.
Mr.. BROWNE, OF Miami, thought IL the
height of folly for the Works to be leased, for
the reason that they could be made to yield a
larger revenue to the State than is named in the
bill.
Mr.. DAVIS thought Il wrong to take these
Works out Of the hands Of those gentlemen who
are by law made the custodians of these Works;
and It is made their duty to guard the interests
of the State.
The question then being on the motion to ap-
point o third committee Of conference, the same
was agreed to-. ...
Mr.. VANvOORIS rendered his resignation
as member of the House from Muskingum coun
| ty, which was, on motion, laid on the table.
Mr.. FLAGG moved the House adjourn, which
was disagreed to.
A message from the Senate was read inform
ing the House that the Senate had agreed to
the report of the committee of Conference on
s. B. No. 12-For the protection of birds and
other game.
On motion of Mr.. FLAGG, the House then
adjourned.

on yesterday, at the action of the Senate in
