SENATE.

Mr.. Scott, from the Committee On
Finance, reported back the bill to pro-
vide for the payment OF the bonds OF
the Louisville and Portland Canal Co.,
with q recommendation that the House
substitute for the bill be adopted with
certain amendments. Placed on the
calendar.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, from the Com
mittee on the judiciary, reported back
the Civil Rights bill, introduced on the
first day Of the session by the late Sen.
ator Sumner, with an amendment, and
the recommendation OF q majority OF
the committee that it be passed as
amended. Placed on the calendar
Mr.. Window called up the bill to en-
able the Menomites OF Russia, to
effect a permanent settlement on the
public lands of the United States. In
advocating the passage of the bill Mr..
Window spoke of the Menomites as
being an industrious and energetic class
of people, and said that to secure their
settlement in this country it was neces-
sary to have liberal legislation. The
Canadian government had offered great
inducements to have them settle at
Manitoba, but they preferred to come
to this country. 1t was not their in-
tention to come here in a body and
take possession OF large tracts OF public
lands. Their occupations were differ
ent and they would distribute them
selves throughout the western country.
Pending discussion the morning hour
expired and the bill went over.
Mr.. Carpenter moved that thu Senate
proceed to consideration OF the bill 10
provide for new election in Louisiana.
Mr.. Sherman said he hoped the bill
would not be taken up. He did not
desire to prevent any Senator from
making speech on the subject, and at
the proper time would move 10 lay the
bill on the table.
Mr.. Carpenter said that so far as he
.vss concerned he meant business, and
waited the Senate either to pass the
hill or kill it. He didn't bring it here
or Il loot ball that speeches might be
naie, but for action. The bill WAS
,hcn taken up.
Mr.. FreIinghuysen made legal
argument as 10 the powers OF the Pres
ident under the Constitution, and con-
tended that the appeal made to him to
interfere in Louisiana, was one which
he was compelled to heed, being sworn
to execute the laws ~
At the close of his remarks, Mr..
West being entitled to the floor. yielded
to a motion for an executive session.
On motion OF Mr.. Morton it was
adopted, and the Senate went into Px-
ecutive session, and coon after cd
jourued.

ABOUr WHEELING CREEH:

A number of years ago the idea Of
tunnellipg toe hill in North Wheeling
aud conducting the waters of the creek
through it TO the river was discussed
in the newspapers and by the people OF
Wheeling. 1t has been OCCASION
ally mentioned Of late years,
but has attracted very little
attention. The matter has been re-
Gently called to cur notice, however, by
a gentleman who has some reason TO be
lieve that, for the ownership OF, say, one
half of the building lots that would be
made available by thus diverting the
course Of the creek, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company would UNDER
take the work. The prospective COM
pletion OF the Hempfield extens
sion to connection with the
Pittsburgh and Cumberland road, and
the consequent making Of this new and
shorter and easier route the main line
between Wheeling aud Cumberland
renders the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pauy naturally anxious to secure more
ground in this city for the location OF
shops and depot buildings, as well as
for better route through the eastern
part OF the city than they now have.
1t is hardly to- be supposed that the
company will be content to continue
the inconvenience Of their present
route upon 10th and l7th streets, when
the traffic upon it is increased as it will
be by the opening of the Hempfeld ex.
tension.
II the creek were conducted through
the hill in North Wheeling, the sraee
it would occupy within the limits Of the
city, in its course to the river, would
probably be less than oae-tenth Of that
it now occupies, and, at the same time,
lots which would constitute the bed OF
the creek in North Wheeling are OF
much less value per foot for busi . esd
purposes than those occupied BY the
present bed of the stream. By filling
up the present bed of the creek, an ex-
cellent route for the railroad and sbun'
dant room for conveniently located
shops will be made available, without
the necessity of laying the track
upon any of the present
streets OF the city, and al
immense increase in the taxable val
ue Of property in the present vicinity
of the creek will be made at once. In
fact the advantages which seem likely
to accrue from the work proposed are
SO numerous and go important that il
is not q little strange that it has mol
been accomplished long ere this.
We are not able to form at this time

The rivers on the eastern slope OF
the Alleghenies were swollen by the
rains OF last week to a greater height
than for many years heretofore. The
South Branch was higher at Moore
field than at any time since 1861, and
there was also destructive freshet in
the Shenandoah and the James. The
rains on this side OF the mountains
produced but little impression on the

AT the recent term OF the Circuit

AT the recent term OF the Circuit
Court OF Wetzel county, Judge c. s.
LEWIS decided that the act of the
legislature OF February 6, 1864, per-
mit,iug Boards Of Supervisors to bor-
row money for the payment OF bounties
to soldiers, is in violstion OF the
Constitution and therefore void. The
case was that of WILFoRD MOORE, as
siguee, &c, against the Supervisors o.
Wetzel county; in which the plaintiff
as assignee of several parties sought to
recover from the defendant the sum oil
$3.50 with interest in each case, which
was claimed to be due TO the assignors
under an ordinance OF the Supervisors
passed IN pursuance OF the act referred
to above. It, WAS held that
the act in question is in
violation OF that clause in the Con-
stitution which provides that mo law
shall embrace more than -1Ee object,
which shall be expressed in its title"
The title OF the act states That it is "To
provide for the relief OF the families oi
soldiers," and Judge LEWIS decides
that the Legislature could not, under
this tltle, authorize the Supervisors to
borrow money to provide bounties fol-
the soldiers themselves.
The decision may be OF interest IL
other counties where suits 10 recover
bounties are pending.

even. sn intelligent guess Is 70 the cost
Of the recsasary tunnel and Of the lots
in North Wheeling which it would be
necessary 10 purchase in order to pro-
vide the new course OF the creek to the
river, but we are certainly safe in as,
Stunning that it will not
nearly equal the value
OF the property that would be thus
rendered available for business or other
purposes, which is now comparatively
worthless.
In case the Baltimore and Ohio
Company should be unwilling to un'
dertake the work, II is quite probable
tha. private parties may be found who
will gladly accomplish it in return for
the ownership OF the present bed OF the
creek, from the point where it strikes
the east side of the hill to its confluence
with the river. We have not exam
ined the recorded deeds OF property bor-
dering on the creek, but, in the absence
OF positive information in relation to
the matter, we believe thai
the tract usually covered BY
low water. and id cases q
much wider territory, belongs to the
city and may be disposed OF as the
municipal authorities may direct The
matter is certainly worth examining,
and if there is no more serious obstacle
to the consummatjon OF the work than
seems now apparent, we have no doubt
that the whole work may be
done without its costing the city q sins
gle dollar. One of the three bridges
now spanning the creek might be used
across the proposed waterway on Main
street in North Wheeling. No others
would be needed. Let us hear the
Public Opinion" on this topic. -
