Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Trimble.
The resolution providing for recess from
to day till June 4th was taken up, when e
Mr.. DAVIS moved to amend the same by
providing for q sine die adjournment on Monday

I Mr.. McCLUNG opposed this amendment.
| He thought We could get through with the pres.
ent business to-day; and there appeared to be
propriety in coming back here in the course Of
few weeks, to adjust matters then requiring
| attention. tNt
| Mr.. SCOTT, Of Warren, thought all had
been done that need be done for the war inter.
est and as TO the canals, he saw no necessity for
| returning on that account. He was therefore
| for q sine die adjournment on Monday.
| Mr.. MYERS said he had been for sine
die adjournment at all times; but the position Of
affairs now, in relation the canals, in bis view,
required return here, to make the appropria
tions for deficiency, etc., and see that they are
| properly disposed Of
Mr.. DAVIS said this had been an unusually
| long session, and that there has been necessity

now for us to come to a close. The people will
not tolerate our sitting here continually, and
eating up the substance Of the people. He
1 hoped the resolution would pass.
Mr.. FLAGG said IL might be necessary 20
delay action, and he, therefore, would move to
lay the resolution upon the table, which was
agreed to-yeas 46, nays &c. ''is '1s- es

CINCINNATI, May 8, 1861.
DEAR SR:-O Observing in the correspondence
Of the Commercial, thss you are represented as
having referred by name to our house, in con-
nection with the shipment of arms to this city,
we take the liberty to address you on the sub
II iect. You can but be aware of the tendency Of
the remarks attributed to you, in the present
state of the public mind, to provoke violent and
illegal action upon the part Of the people, and
to seriously injure US, as individuals, in our
standing in the community. We can not,
therefore, but be surprised that you should have
made such personal reference, without first In
Iquiring of Us, or some persons who could have
given you correct information upon the subject
The Governor Of Ohio, as you must know, is
fully informed of every shipment of cases of
muskets, passing through the State by any such
public channels as the Express companies af-
ford. s-t
So far as it is in the knowledge Of any mem
Der of our frm,it Is entirely untrue that any
arms have been shipped, directed to us, that have
not come directly to uS At Cincinnati. No arms
have been shipped by or for our house 10 apy
point in the Soath, or to apy other point than to
lCncinnati, since the present troubles broke OUT;
and IL, apy arms marked with have taken apy
1 other course after leaving Cleveland. than to
como directlv 10 us. IL was fraudulent nae of
our name without our knowledge, and the arms
were not ours. "a b 80 t'4
The Mayor of this city. as we'll "a the Cover.
nor of this State, we believe will be able to CON.
i firm thsee statements The community who
know US, among whom we NAV probably name
\ Senators Ferguson and Kew, will confirm the low
| aity Of ourselves as citizens against auy imp1-
tatons to the contrary. =
il We have no doubt that, having fully informed
! yourself BY further inquiries touching this mat
ter, YOU will correct the impression created by
your remarks. ~ = ~ a'.TI
