CHARLESTON, December 5.
In response to the call OF the Cover
nor for moral and material aid" tn
Legislature has passed the enclosed bill
sppropriating the full amount askeC
for by him to prosecute the suit sgains
Mr.. Walker. It now only remains TO
him to substantiate his charges, if b,
can. The fact is, that Governor JacoI
did not want an appropriation for thi'
purpoee. He wanted the legislature Il
refuse to grant him funds for the pros
ecution of this suit, and then he woulc
go before the people with the CRY tha
the legislature wanted to whitewast
Mr.. Walker. But this bill takes th'
wind out OF his sails. 1t shows that not
withstanding the fact that the Governor
has always had at his command the ser
vices OF the Attorney General and larg'
amount Of money for the prosecution
of Just eush claims as this, the Legisla-
ture is willing to grant him every fa-
cility that he may ask for, 1t appear
ing from his message that Sll 900 wat
not enough, the Legislature grants him
still more. Whether it is right to grant
unlimited powers TO rob the Treasury
to a man who has heretofore shameful
ly abused his trust, is a debateable
question; but an honest desire prevails
on the part OF the Legislature TO give
Mr.. Jacob every aid that he asks for iu
the prosecution Of this suit And here
"Is take my:Davy," as Allen Simpson
says, that when the suit comes to be
determined in court, the Governor will
be incontinently foored. An observer
OF the evidence taken before the Gov
ernors committee, will see this at q
glance, while any printer must confess
the same thing.

more industrious and faithful represen-
tatiye, ever held a seat in the Legisls-
ture from the county of Ohio
This is the unanimous verdict,
and it is but simple justice to General
Psnnell that his constituents should
know it.

yesterday, l note the following:

A right sharp fight" occurred in the
House, yesterday, upon the proposition
to annex Battelle District in MonoDga-
lis county, to Marion county.
1t appears that every citizen o! the dis-
trict referred to, except two, has pc
titioned to be annexed to Marion coun-
ty, aud that no remonstrsnce is offered
by the people OF either county. But

The petitioners were well sustained
by Dr.. Flowers and Mr.. Knots, the
two Delegates from Marion county

Mr.. Knots took occasion TO
