A SUIT AT X VVV.—[an old iron.]
ClnnStlUoflheCtart //tiiK.-Il was in
the days Judge Dorsey —I think in 18 , the
docket will shew—that 1 first got acquainted with
that mad*ap, Frank Taylor. Ho was a merry,
brokM-down gentleman, who wore a black silk
handkerchief round his nock—and had a smaller
inf of law which sometimes made him very elo
quent. One day Frank, m ht. usual way fell to
abusing the Courts, and the Judges, and the Leg
islature. and the whole park of them m such a
Style that I w.. quite shocked to hear him. IU.
inure I rebuked him the more he railed, and a
lan he offered me a bet to the value ol a eo«f, that
he would take that which i wore, from my hack, by
.ho help of the law. and that I should never has.
anything to do will, it again as long as I lived.
Well I did’nt suspect mattes were so bad as a
.ViXti.Ui *r««m
it or I never should have made the- bet,—bat I
ook him up, and we parted. The next day
Frank goes to old Mr. G.hson, and gel, on a re
..leven for rhv coat, and tomes along with the
Sheriff, and takes it off my hack and immediate
|V nut it 01. his own, and looked . great deal bol
ter for the change. 1 went to Mr. O.bao.i « of

myself 'cry decently docketed on a hat of suds

bond given by Frank and one Mr. lom Straw,
to restore me my coat if F rank could not show a

asked^ilr. Gibson when this matter was likely to
be settled —for I Jid’nt bkc the looks of U—and
SflivS politely .hat it would be lor trial
in March 1819. Frank was always a desperate
hwdfeUowon a coal —and 1 began to run over
in inv mind what a pr^.ykokmg concern tin.

ever, I waited patiently for the time and ns soon
as t l.e couit was opened, there war, I in person
mid Mr.Owynn, my attorney, to m ike a dash (o

cases on the docket to ho tried that term, and

Frank bad left noolfocl. behind him. and died
utterly insolvent and good lor nothing, whnh
was a very hard case. 1 was afraid to say any
thing ahoul the hot. lost Mr. Kell should soil* up

the world in the character ot a plaintiff-
SahSrsidcs vs. Thomas Straw. I hts case has ad
vanced with great vigor, considering that it is a
contested case in which Slraw-vvhom dont
think much of—has pul in a great many picas—
and has also brought a cross action against me tor
the amount of the hot, in the nanus of the admin
istrator. These two cases stand like twins upon
the docket, and wo expect to have them tried at
the same time. Mr. Gibson lolls me now, that 1
may confidently calculate niton terminating the
controversy about the coal sometime in the pres
ent year, provided that there should be no appeal.
If there should he, God help us! he says, he
would not undertake to say for the next ten y ears.
It has been on amazing fine suit, ami has nour

TIIF. GRAND JURY—THE PILOTS.

most important business Unit ever was placed
before such a body. Thu best and ablest cri
minal judga probably in tb s country, Recor
der Hiker, bas announced it Irom tins bench
to be the ri«ht and duly of the Grand Jury to
make inquiry into ttie conduct ui tlio IMotsol
this port during the recent lamentable events
and that if they have neglected the law, they
ran bu punished. Party feeling and party at
taclnnents may indeed throw a mantle over
that terrible negligence ol public duly, or
frame apologies lor those who are leagued in
the satu-j political juggle; but we trust the
honor and integrity yet m human nature are
ru liciuutly abundant to throw aside such mo
tives and influences, as they would the reptile
thai fastened upon man only to poison and to
kill.
It is now lime for the Grand Jury t» over
look or postpone for u short space the rioters
of the Five Point i—the petty thieves of the
night—or the more daring violators and rob
bers of tlio Hamblin gang. So tar ,as we
tire personally concerned in the latter enquiry
we cheerfully waive our right, and beg the
District Attorney not to let, fir one moment
our personal matters to delay or imcrleru with
too higher or iDureiiuportanlinquiries relative
to the Pilots of this i ort.

1 let a full examination be made by Ibo Grand

I will not delay a moment —that they will be

search for evidence in every hole and corner

MORE INDIAN DEf’REDATI INS.
An Express from Black Creek arrived las'
night In tin* city, by which we learn, that on the
| 4th instant a parly of Indians, near tlio Santa F’e
Bridge, cut oil ami Inuk prisoners eleven negroes
i belonging to Mr. lionet M. Doll, ol Ncwiiiihh-
I villo. These negroes, started in company with a
( baggage train from Garey’a Ferry to the latter
’ place, with an ox team—and were about a mile
I in the rear of the main body when taken. One
of the negroes made bis escape from them, and
| returned to Garey’s Feiry; lie stales tins number
I of Indians to be about 80. Upon the receipt of
[ this information, Lieut. Gol, t-rane, with emn
, mondable promptness, lias ordered (’apt. l*rey
. month’s company of mounted Volunteers to pro-
I cued immediately to Garey’s Ferry,and await lur
j fixer orders from Gol, Warren. Laptam Gurry s
. company will join Colonel Warren al Jackson
ville, and proceed from thence to that post. There
, are but few troops at Garey’s Ferry.
1 Wo learn from Nownansvillo that there are
, parties of Indians lurking in that neighbour
hood, About three weeks since, a parly ol
three, came to the plantation of Mr. Finish, and
killed a Mr. Ostein, his son-in law. Mr. Palish,
saw them commit the fatal set, whiles standing in
Ids door; called to them and dared thorn to come
nearer to the house, and ho would make sure of
one of litem, when they made off. Mr, Pari-h
had abandoned his place on the breaking out of
hostilities, and had recently returned to his
homo.
Ahoul the same time, a small scouting party
. went to the plantation of Mr. Haig, about ten
miles from Nownansvillo, al night and discovered
a:. Indian at a small fire in tlio field. A Mr.
‘ Youngblood, who was of the party, crept up, and
' shot ami scalped him; they suppose that there
were two other Indian* in company with the one
I killed, us they found tlnce packs and three rifles.
It is reported al Nownansville, that a friendly
Greek had been token by the Sominoles and car
ried to an island in tlio Orange Lake, from
whence he made his escape, and that he stales
j that there are about 30 families, on Ibo island;
I that they have abundance of cattle and bogs; that
s they have no amnnition.
It is also reported there, that a party of men
from Fort Drone, went down to Gol. Mclntosh's
plantation, about five miles distant, and while
thora a party of Scmtnoles, disguised as Creeks,
canto upon and killed one oi them.
Funeral of the late Col. llrooks. —The body
( of the late lamented Lt. Gol. U. was found upon
' the beach, about 30 miles from this city, and
brought in fur interment on Thursday last. On
Friday, the last sad tribute was paid to his re
! mains, and ho was entered with the honors of
war. Tite body was escorted to the grave by lire
company of St. Augustine Veterans, and Lieut.
Northrop’*company of Volunteers, under com
mand of Adjutant Phillips, and followed try the
U. S. Officers at litis post, as principal mourners,
- tlio Volunteer oflic is in the service of the U. tt.
x the U. S. Troops, fits Judge and Olfieers of the

of a portion of slock (and not a sale ol the char
ter, as represented,) made by the Insurance Bank
of Columbus, to Mr. Biddle. We cannot corn- 1
prebend the force of the reasoning used to shoxv
that by lliis transfer a Iraud lias been committed
on the legislation of tire Sitale. Tire terms of the
charter, whether wa consult the letter or spirit ot
it, do not restrict the owners of the stock in their
negotiation* for tire sale of the same. Individ
uals cither in or out of tiro Stale may become
■ purchasers of the stock; and if the provisions of
the charter arc not violated, we cannot see how
the ownership of the stock can lie made a sub
ject of legislative interference. The people in
this part of the country appear to be well satisfied
with the arrangement, and whether A, Bor C,
all or either of them are Htockholders, is a matter
of indifference; provided the institution lie man
aged on fair, equitable and banking principles.
We know that it will bo tbe policy of tba Bank
to do a liberal business ; we were going to say, (
that it will bo absolutely necessary, tlml they
should do so. We arc well assured that tbe
Brandt in Macon will pursue a policy, accepta
ble to the people, and not at variance with the
interests of our local Banks. The views of fin
direction in this place we arc acquainted with
from long and intimate association, and we can
with confidence say, that they would not he ac
cessary (o any measures that would prove detri
mental to tlio interest of our city, or that could be
regarded as a fraud on tite legislation of the State.

i [FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT]
WASHINGTON CITY,?
Jan. 11th 1636. 3
The proceedings of both Houses during the
present week have boon full of interest. On
1 Monday tlio House was thrown into immense
1 confusion and excitement by the introduction of
Abolition petitions. Mr. Adams presented one
• numerously signed by women, the wives and
■ daughters of his immediate constituents, praying
I tiie abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the
; District of Columbia. Gon. Glascock instantly
t rose and demanded the question of the reception.
Mr. Adams made some remarks in favor of the
’ reception, to which Gen. Glascock replied with
„ great spirit and olfocl. One of the collar-men,
i, Darks of Maine, thereupon rose and moved to lay
the question of reception on the table. Which waa
carried, yeas IJ6, nays 60. When this decision
~ was announced, Mr. Adams declared that he
d would call up the question, to which the House
II hud thus given tiie go-hy, every day so long as
) tiie House would permit him. Ho also present
if
c ed another petition, and began to read its contents
l. with great vivacity of expression and manner,
■ and evident high gusto. He was called to order,
‘‘ and considerable lime was very idly spent in de
; bating the question—Whether a member could
e read a petition in his place—the end of all which
d was that the I 'x-Drcsidoiit was permissivoly read
-0 ing the document!—but the closing phrases were
so stimulating that a dozen voices called him to
order. Col. Dawson your new member then
raised the question of reception, and in a brief hut
J manly and impressive speech appealed to the
s II use to grant those who thought they had a
11 right to object to the reception of these petitions,
c an opportunity of giving their voles directly and
,- recording them. He deprecated in strong terms
1 all undue excitement on the subject, hut con
demned the conduct of those who continued toagi
p
: tale it. Tite question was then put, and the House
n I reaolved to receive the petition by a vote of 137
e to 75 ! On motion of Mr. Haynes ofyour Slate,
ll | tiie petition was then laid on the table. When
r I Col. Dawson’s name was called, he rose and de
r*
4 clined voting on the question, DoncliUc a true
11 son of the South! Mr. Adams then presented
’* | another petition of the same character and again
" 0 ' the question of reception was demanded. Mr.
Underwood, of Ky. opposed the reception. Mr.
r - Bynum, of North Carolina, took the same ground,
11 j and without finishing his remarks, gave way to
a motion to amount,
it, The debate on Mr. Wise’s resolution fur a
Committee to inquire into the condition of the
'Executive Department was resumed on Tuesday;
n. and Thomas L. Hamer, who once denounced
at the Van Bureuites so roundly as a Faction, ami
if
1 as I am informed, called the Magician himself n
:«r '
rc Political tSwiNULKK, prepared himself and
the Party to which ho has descried, f.r a tho.
rough beating. It is remarkable that Pearce and
Hamer, the loudest advocates of the spoils party
in ...
now, ware ouco among the meat violent oppo
nents of Jackson and Van Buren. The Obit
te .
man tiled to he very severe upon the letter wn
j io rs —and complained most grcviously that they
;did injustice to the distinguished men of silt
parly, in thru notices of Congressional proceed
inga. ff I ofily kncK who these men were that t
deserve any applause, I for one would not pass 1
by llicir merits; but really it would be a little ab- i
sutd to applaud such great men as Hamer, Cam- t
breleng. Pearce, and the other leading incapaci- t
ties. Mr. McKenon, of New York, obtained the
floor, after Hamer got through his orational exer- 1
cise, Seven friends of the Administration have
spoken on this resolution; Mr. McKenon will be
the eighth. Only four of the members of the
opposition have spoken—and yet the Globe
writers charged the opposition with wasting the
time of the House—and Mr. Hamci repeats in
his place the unfounded assertion !
The Tariff! The Tariff! This subject was in
troduced to day, and gave rise to great excite
ment. Mr. Cambrclcng from the Committee of t
Ways and Means introduced a Bill with an ac- *
comparing Kepoti, to reduce the Revenue to (
the wants of the Government. The Keport was
long and occupied two hours in reading. 'I he .
Bill proposes to accomplish within eighteen
months, what the Compromise Bill proposed to ■
Jo by 1842 ; and provides for the entire repeal ol |
the duties on salt and coal on the 30lh of Sep- i
tember next. This measure has been introduced i
■without any concert of action among the .hi- j
ministration party and it is universally believed
by the members of the opposition that the object
is simply to make a demonstration on protection. ,
I have not met with a man of any parly who has
any abiding feeling that the bill will become a
law of the land. So convinced are the minority
of the Committee, that nothing is meant hut for
party purposes; that the Bill is a mere humbug
—that they have concluded not to send in the
Committee report they have prepared.
I warn the South that the Faction have mere
ly produced this bill as part of that system an
nounced by Van Buren in the impudent and in
sulting declaration that “//e would carry the
fiontl by falling in with Southern measures,
Will any Southern man allow himself to bo first
duped in this way, and then trampled under foot!
I trust not. The Van Burenilcs will labour hard
lodise another party in the South opposed to
those who are adverse to any disturbance ol the
Compromise Bill, but with the consent of the
representatives of the great manufacturing interest.
But they will do nothing. Mark the words. The
tevenue will not be reduced at this session. This
measure is only a part oflhe system of governing
by humbug and excitement. Mr. Lawrence of
Boston, a member of the Committee, moved the
indefinite postponement oflhe Bill; and made an
able argumentative and impressive speech against
the bill. He declared it to he fraught with incal
culable mischief to the whole country, and that
it deserved to he entitled “a Bill to make the
HICK HIGHER IXD THE POOH POORER.” The par
ty’s troops and lieutenants made repeated efforts
to interrupt Mr. Lawrence by raising questions
ol older, and by calling for the ordeis of the day—
hut in every case they were vot-d down! The
voles indicated a strong feeling of opposition to the
measure on the part of a majority of the House;
and I repeat there is no probability of any such
hill passing the House at this session. Mr. Law
rence spoke with great earnestness, and like a man
who was thoroughly conversant with the sub
ject. Mr. Corwin next obtained the floor, and
will speak to-morrow.
In the Senate the Treasury Circular has con
tinued to be the subject of discussion. Mr.
, stranga advocated its policy and legality on Mon
day. On Tuesday Mr. Rives took the floor in
support of his own proposition, and in a speech
of great length contended agai-.st the extreme
and impracticable opinions of Benton and the
rest of that set of Currency Tinkers. He pro
nounced their schemes of an exclusive specie cur
rency perfectly Utopian.
Mr. Clay spoke on the subject to-day. He
went at great length into the Constitutional
questions involved, and depicted with his custom
ary eloquence the disastrous consequences that
: had flowed from the Circular this far. Ho dwelt
with much force on the humiliating character ol
1 the objection Rives and others had brought a
s gainst Mr. Ewing’s Resolution for rescinding,
! that it implied censure on the President. He
declared that if Rives had not intended to con
demn the Circular he ought not to have made the
i speech ho did, nor indeed to have introduced his
resolution, for both severely reprobated the policy
. of the measure. Though his resolution did not
! contain the word rescind, it does effectually re
i sciud the order. It is now known that the Secre
tary oflhe Treasury was opposed to the issuing
, of this order. As in the case of the removal of
, the Deposits, the act was one of Executive will
, alone. But unlike that case the Secretary clings
f to his office, and alfixcd his signature contrary to
, his own convictions of justice and expediency !
8 Rumour even goes further—and reports that the
whole of the responsible Cabinet were opposed to
3 trie measure, and the Senate of the United States
has fallen so low, that it cannot repeal this con
demned measure, lest the act might imply cen
sure on the Executive ! The whole suhjoct, Ew
\ tig’s Resolution and Rivea’ substitute have been
I referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
There is no nows here. Wc are expecting
Santa Anna to be among us very soon. M.

IN SENATE
! Mr. WALKER offered the following res-
L olution;
8 Resolved. That'.lie Stale of Texas hav
- mg established and maintained an tndopend
i- ent government capable of performing those
e duties, fiireign ami domestic, which appertain
t«independent governments; and it appearing
that there is no longer any reasonable pros-
! ’ pect of t lie successful prosecution of the war
II with Mexico against said Slate, it is expedi
i- ent ami proper, and in conformity with the
e laws nl nations, and the practice of this gov
j eminent in like cases, that the independent
' political existence of laid State, shali be ac
n knowlcdegedby the government of the United
r- Stales.
r. Mr. WALKER did not ask the consider
-1 alien of this resolution now, but would uiere
ly express his belief that it was in perfect con
currence with the opinions of the President.
The executive had said that our course should
a depend on the result of the new expedition
ic which was making against Texas.—Now
(said Mr. W.) 1 have this morning received
information that the Mexican army which
was advancing against Texas has been bro
d | ion up, and that the few who remain have
a neither arms n*r provisions—the Cuminand
,j tng General had sent in his resignation, and
the danger had passed away. Therefore hfi
‘ believed there could be no objection to t/,
1(1 resolution.

j. reading, were read a third tune and gs

question. Mr. C. spoke with hie usual en- ■

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, January 11,1837. .
Mr. REVONLUS, from theco i miltee on ,
Public lands, reported a hill for the survey i
or certain rivers therein named, read twice ;
and committed.
SURPLUS REVENUE. i
Mr- CAMBRELENG, from the commit- i
too on Ways and Means, made a report ou
the subject oflhe Surplus Revenue, accompa- ,
nied by the following 8.11, which was twice |
A Hill lo reduce the Revenue of the United i
Slates to the wants of the government : '
Sec. 1. Be it enacted that, from and after ,
the 30lh day of September next, iff all cases ,
where duties are imposed on foreign imports (
by the act of the 14th ol July, IS3J, entitled
“an act to al er and amend the several acts
imposing duties on imports,” or by any other
act, shall exceed 20 per cent, on the value
thereof, one third part of such excess shall bo
deducted.—From and after the 31st ol March,
1837, one half of the residing of such excess
shall he deducted ; unv thing in the act of
March 1833, to the contrary notwithstanding.
Sec 2nd And be it further enacted, that
from and after the 30th ot September next,
tiie duties on Salt and Coal shall be and the
same hereby are repealed.
On motion of Mr. ONVENS. the Report
was read at length It is a very voluminous
and detailed view of the questions and facts
connected with the revenue, expenditures,
and commerce of the country.
Mr. CAMBRELENG moved that the Bill
and Report be referred to the Comm ttee ot
the whole House on the Stale ol tiie Union,
and be printed.
Mr. LAWRENCE, of Mass, rose and said
that as one of the Committee of Ways and
Means,and a member of the minority ot that
Committee, lie begged permission to express
his entire dissent to it. It was a Bill to re
duce the Revenue in eighteen months to the
same standard to which existing laws would
bring it down in five years and a half. It did
at once vvhatthe compromise act of 1833 pro
posed to do in 1842.
He wished the members of the House to
reflect well upon the principles and effects
of this measure. He wished to put it lo the
western men whether it was already the sense
and feeling here that this bill should become
a law. Tins was a most important measure
one of so much moment that the people ought
tube advised of it long before its adoption
—that it might not go forth upon them like
a clap of thunder on a summer’s day. The
very effect of its having been reported hare,
would be that of panic.
What was the state of things now in the
country! Money, was every where worth fif
teen, twenty and thirty per cent, already a
great panic had been created by the peculiar
condition in which the finances of the coun
try had been placed and this measure would
increase the panic, even in anticipation of its
adoption.
He wished to appeal to the representatives of
the State ot Pennsylvania to ascertain whether
this was a party measure. He trusted it was
not. He asked those members whether they
wore ready to espouse the doctrines of this
Bill. He appealed to the members from the
Slate of New York, whom he was told were
in favor of this measure, —though he could not
credit it, —whether they would sanct ion a mea
sure, which, he was confident, would never be
sustained by their constituents.
He appealed to the members from Ohio
and of the other grain growing States of the
west to say whether they were in favour of
reducing American labor to the same footing
with that of the old countries of Europe. He
called upon the gentlemen from Connecticut,
as composing a part of the administration ma
jority of the House, to say whether they were
ready to sustain this bill.
He knew that in New England there was
a diversity of opinion on this question ; but as
to one point, there would be on difference of
opinion, viz :—that at the present, time, there
was not a shadow of ground for this Bill,
Did not the Secretary of the Tresury tell us
that the the Revenue would be three millions
short for the next year 1 What did we know
about the revenue ofISSBMVho could tell
. what would be the amount received from
, customs and from lands'! What was all this
providence for! We had no surplus now;
and did not expect any for the next year. We
knew what would be the effects of this mea
■ sure : next to passing it would be the mis
■ chiefresulting from sending it abroad to the
. country. It would tend, merely by the agita
. lion of the subject, to destroy the bonds (fcon
. fidence and credit existing among communi
ties. He wished to see what member from
' the northern or eastern States would declare
> himself io favor »f this measure.
) Mr. Lawrence, after proceeding -further
I was called to order.
He, however, moved to postpone the biil
indefinitely.
1 A question of order as to the necessity of
• discussing the bill in committee, w-as under
■ discussion when this dispatch was closed.
