1AW REPORTS.
Providence (it. I.) Dec. 13.
Legality of a bet.—The Court of Com
mon Pleas uovv ia session in this town,
vas on Saturday employed in the trial ol
an action of somewhat a novel Dauire in
our Courts of Law.
The action was brought for the recove
ry of fifty dollars, due by a check drawn
by the defendant on the Eaglt* Bank,
which had been duly presented for pay
ment, and protested for non-payment.—
in ilie defence, the consideration of the
check was proved to have been the re
sult of a wager made by the plaintiff and
Defendant anterior to the re-election of
the lion. Asher Robbins to the Senate of
the United Slates, in November, 1323.—
The plaintiff bet with the Defendant that
I\1 r. llobbms would be re-elected, and
they each thereupon drew their respect
ivn checks for fifty dollars on the Eagle
Bank, which, by agreement, Wt-re deposi
ted in the hands of a stake holder who
was to act as umpire and deliver to the
winner both checks.
Af er the election, the checks wero
delivered to the plaintiff, and the payment
of the Defendant’s was refused on ihe
ground, that in as m icli as Mr. Robbins
was re-elected without opposition, there
had not been such a contingency as he
anticipated or as was esseminlly necessa
ry to constitute the consideration of a
wager. John Whipple, esq. was counsel
for the Plaintiff, and the Defendant acted
for himself. The jury, without a clia.ge
from the Court, returned a verdict for the
Plaintiff for debt and cost.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
COMMON SCHOOLS.
The resolution offered by Mr Weems
yesterday, and which was under consid-
•era'ion when the Mouse passed to the
Orders of the Day, was taken up : when
Mr. Weems withdrew the same, and of
fered the following;
“ Resolved,—That the Committee on
Public Lands be instructed to inquire in
to the expediency of appropriating so
much of the Public Lands, or of the sales
of such L inds (not found to clash with
any previous contract for the payment of
the public debt) for the ad> ancement of
Common Schools in the thirteen ol
States, equivalent to what has been grant
ed to those States that have been introdu
ced into the Union since the adoption of
the General Govei nment, so as to equalize
•he advantages to each and all the States ;
seeing that the aforesaid lands have been
acquired as common property by the joint
expenditure of the blood and treasure of
.he whole nation.”
REMOVAL OF INDIANS.
Mr. IIAILE said, that he had, some
days since, laid m the table of tbe House
i resolution in reference to tbe removal
t the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians,
vhich he desired now to call up for con
sideration.
The resolution was read as foil uvs:
14 Resolved. Tint the CommiMee on
Indian-Affair's be instructed to inquire in
to the expediency of making an appropri
ation to enable the Choctaws and Chick-
asaws to explore the country beyond the
river Mississippi,and to provide the means
N>r the support of such Indians who are
disposed to emigrate, and are willing to
embrace the benevolent objects designed
bv the Government.”
To the resolution Mr. SMITH, of In
diana, offered an amendment, when it was
before the House on ihe 11th December,
to include the. “Pattawattamie and
51 iami Indians,” and the question recur-
to this amendment.
Mr. McLEAN, of Ohio. ^Chairman
ol the Committee on Indian Affairs) sta
ted, that the Committee had the subject
of that resolution row before them, and
were preparing a report upon it, which
they intended shortly to present to the
House.
Mr. Haile observed, that his resolution
had, he believed, been offered previously
to any other, on the general snbjact of
the removal of Indians, and he had been
told bv these gentlemen who had offered
amendments to it, that they would con
sent to withdraw those amendments in or
der that his might be considered separate
ly* The honorable Chairman of the In
dian Committee, was not, he apprehen
ded, fully acquainted with the situation of
the two tribes to which his resolution re
ferred. In 1S20, there had been guaran-
ted to the Chickasaws and Choctaws, by
the Government of the United States a
large tract of land West of the Mississippi
but since that treaty, no steps had been
^akeu to carry this pledge into effect
On the contrary, 3000 whites had en
croached upon their Territory, and were
driving them back, at the same time that
oyerv inducement had been held out to
them by the Government, to obtain their
^esttU to emigration. Under these cir
cumstances, the tribes referred to, had
peculiar claims en the attention of the
Committee ol Indinu Affairs, atid he wish
ed that Committee to report t > the House,
whether, in their judgement, the tract
guarantied by the treaty, was to be g'ven
as it had been promised, or some other
tract in lieu of it.
Mr. SMITH, of Indiana, having n<>
objection to the object of the resolution,
and not being desirous of thr owing any
obstacles in the way of its adoption, with
drew the amendment to it which he had
before offered.
Mr. I LO\ D, of Va. said, he believed
this was the first time an appropriation
had been asked from this House to ena
ble Indians to go imo the wilderness to
explore it. He had thought that die ob
ject of the system adopted by the Gen.
Government, with respect those Peo
ple waste civilize &. o get them >ut of the
wilderness. As the reverse, however,
seemed intended by this resolution, he
was opposed .o its adoption.
Mr. haice said, that Government
had made a treaty bv which ihey were
bound. If solemn treaties were to be
considered as of any avail, and the Go
vernment meant to act in good faith, these
Indians ought to receive what had been
promised them. It was with a view to
this end, that he had offered the resolu
tion.
The question being put, the resolution
was adopted.
M>. WING offered the following:
Resolved., That the Committee on
Roads and Canals be instructed to in
quire into the expediency of appropriating
a sum of money tor examining and deter
mining upon asuitahle* route for a canal
across the peninsula of Michigan, to con
noct the waters of Lake Michigan with
those of L ike Erne.
Resolved also, That the same commit
tee be instruc ed to inquire into the expe
dienrv of appropriating, for the purpose of
making said canal, tracts of land on eacli
s<do of said route, equal in quantity to
those heretofore granted for constructing
the Illinois an 1 Indiana Canals.
The res d utions having been read,
Mr. WING said, that as the impor
tanco of the resolution might not at <mce
Ite apparent to the House, he would ask
the indulgence of a moment, whilst hf
briefly stated a few of the reasons which
have indicated the propriety of the pn
sent inquiry. The difficulties and dangers
which attended the navigation of ou
Northwestern Lakes; the exposures t<
which tlie lives, the health, and the pro
perty of individuals, as well as the proper
ty of the Govern nent, are, subjected;
the frequent losses which are sns'ained
both bv the public and by individuals, i
encountering a navigation of nearly nmht
hundred miles in extent, from the head of
Fake Ene, to the head of Lake Michigan
which is dificnl', if not dangerous, even in
the most favorable seasons of the year
indeed, the utter impracticability of nav
igafing some of <>nr most Northerly Lakes
and s'raits, during the Winter months,
(Mr. W. said)all ronsoired to render
an object of no inconsiderable moment!
not only to the inhabitants of that country
but to the Governmen itself, to effect, as
speedily as possible, a safe* channel of
communication across the peninsula of
tha’ Territory.
This object accomplished, together with
that of the Illinois Canal, for the construc
tion of which, the Government has alrea
dy made a lar m, if not an ample provis
ion, you not only avoid the necessity, in
time of war, as well as peace of transpor
ting o> pry description of property, desti
ned fin- the supply of your Northwestern
and Western ports, through a long chain
of narrow straits, which bring you within
muske* shot of the British shore : as well
>s he dangers of a boistesous Lake navi
gation, to which I have just adverted;
bin you have at once a safe and easy in
land communication, uoou nearly the
whole line of vouVdVorthern and North
western frontier, extending from New
York to the Mississippi.
I present this subject, Mr. Speaker, and
the more confidently, because if is not
trammelled by those constitutional objec
tions which have been he r e’ofo rp urged
againstsimilar propositions from thftiStates.
The whole route of this con’emplatep
Canal is within the limits of a Territory,
over which the United States exercise the
exclusive sovereignty : and within which
the United states are the principal owners
of the soil. To such as may not have
adverted to the subject; who are not inti
mately acquainted with the geography of
that country, and the facilities with which
the object may he accomplished ; the item
of expense might, at first, seem to be an
objection. Careful examinations, howev
er, have been made by a number of our
most scientific and intelligent citizens,
who hesitate not to sav, that a Canal may
be constructed across that peninsula, at
less expense than anv one of similar ex
tent which has ever been attempted in the
Union.
If, therefore, to facilitate the inter
course between the different sections of
the United States; if to render the trans
portation of property both cheap and safe;
if to enhance the value of the public do
main, by improving it, and thereby invit
ing to it a healthful and enterprising popu
lation ; if to give stability to your frontier
settlements in that quarter, and add
strength to an extended and defenceless
frontier, be legitimate objects for Con
gressional legislation, and worthy tbe con
sideration of the Gov. then, sir,I may in
dulge the hope (hat the resolution which I
have had the honor of submittiug, will be
favorably received by the House, and in-
they may
permanent
to by the
vestigafions, not only the citizens, of the
Territory, whom I have the honor to re
present, who feel a deep interest in the
subject, but the Governmen itself, may
anticipate beneficial results.
The resolutions were then agreed to.
INDI AN GOVERNMENTS.
On tlie third instanvrhe Committee on
the Judiciary was instructed “to enquire
if any of the Indian Tribes, within the
territorial jm isdicrion of any of the States,
have organized an independent govern
ment, with a view to a permanent location
in said States ; and if they find that any
attempt of this kind lias been made, to in
quire into the ezpediency of reporting to
this House such measures as
deem necessary to arrest such
1' cation.”
Mr. BARBOUR, Chairman of the
Committee on the Judiciary, observed to
the House that this was a very* important
subject, requiring great labor’ and involv
ing many very delicate points, which
should be approached with caution ; that
it belonged more appropriately to the
Committee on Indian affairs than to the
Committee on the Judiciary ; but that his
opinion was, that a select committee would
be the best tribunal to act upon the sub
ject : that if the Committee on the Judi
ciary were disposed to do so, the flood of
business now upon their table, would, of
i'self, prevent them from bestowing upon
it that consideration which its importance
merited ; but that, in order to give the gen<
tleman who introduced the inquiry, (Mr.
Fort, of Georgia,) an opportunity ofdis-
posingof it in such a manner ashe might se
lect, lie would ask that the Committee on
the Judiciary be discharged from the fur
ther consideration of rhe subject, and that
the resolution be laid on the table.
This course was assented
House.
The bill from Tlie S uiate, to authorize
the cancelling of a bond therein mention
ed, was t wicc re.id.
It having been moved that the hill be
referred to a Committee of th<* whole.
Mr. P. P, BARBO UR (Chairman of
the Committee on tbe Jodiciar\) express
ed his conviction that the reference was
wholly unnecessary. The Committee on
tbe Judiciary had had the subject matter
d 'Ins bill already before them, and had
reported a bill to the H -use. of which, he
bHeived, rhi* was a tran*cri,n, tntidem ver
bis. The circumstances of the case be
would state in a few words.
A vessel, called “ he Antelope,”had
been captured by one of our own revenue
fficers, and brought into the port of Sn-
vinnab, wuh a cargo of 140 African ne
groes. The vessel had been libelled, and
claim-, had been set upon die part of cer
tain Portuguese and Spaniards, for a pn; .
tion of the slaves. One hundred of tbe
negroes had been sent to Cape Messnrad---
m Africa ; but 39 of 'hem had been de
creed to the Spanish claimants. T*b •
case had been some time befi-re theTe-
deral Courts of Georgia, and had been re
moved, by appeal, to the Supreme Court
of the United States. It had been pend-
ng, in all, about eight years. During
(is whole of that time, these unfortunate
creatures had been detained in the custody
of the Marshal, and, in this interval, many
of them had been married and become
heads of families—had been partially do
mesticated with ns, and were desirous of
emainingiu this country. The Spanish
claimants, however/who resided in Cuba)
se "t 3ft order to have the whole number
transported to that Island ; but a Southern
gentleman (Mr. Wilde, of Georgia,) a
member of this House, not now in his
seat, in a spirit of pure benevolence, and
om no motives whatever, or inter
est or selfishness, had, from mere kind
ness, bought out the Spanish claim, and
paid all the expenses in the Courts, which
were very heavy. Bv a regulation, how
ever, of :he Court in Georgia, he is bound
o give a bond, to transport these negroes
beyond the limits of the United States,
and his prayer is, that bond may be can
celled. The effect of granting it will he
o leave those negroes and their children
n the United States, instead of having
hem transported to Cuba, and he need
submit no remaks to this House, either on
he difference of treatm»nt they would
here experience from what they might ex
pet there, or on the painful severity of
breaking those near and tender ties which
bind the husband to the wife, and the pa
rent to his child. If the bond referred to
were not conceited, the transportation of
the whole must enevitably take place.—
He presumed there could’be but one feel
ing in the bosom of the House as to such
an alternative, especially as the measure
would be productive of no possible evil,
while it went to mitigate that load, wfcich,
under any circumstances, must press but
too heavily. He had indeed, heard a sug
gestion whispered, that this bill was meant
to cover the infamy of evading the law
which prohibited the importation ofslaves.
Did he believe that it had the remotest
possible connexion, he would be the last
to countenance it on any other occasion,
which went to increase the amount of that
unhappy population. But where there
was no possible connexion with such a de
sign, where the slave vessel had been cap-
rured by our own officer, and these un-
happy People had been detained in the
country in consequence of unforeseen
litigation, and where a gentleman, in the
pure kindness of his heart, had stepped
forward, at an actual sacrifice, to save
then from being torn from each other, he
could conceive of no reason why the
House should refuse the request that this
bill should go at once to its third reading.
Mr. Me CO Y hereupon withdrew his
motion to commit the bill.
Mr. TAYLOR moved that it be refer
red to the Committee on the Judiciary,
in order that the facts now stated in con
versation might officially re-appear in the
form of a report.
Mr. BARBOUR opposed the reference
as unnecessarv, and the question being ta
ken, it was negatived.
Mr. WRIGHT, of Ohio, said a few
words on the importance of the question
involved in the bill, and was proceeding
farther, when
Mr. BARBOUR, disclaiming all desire
of precipitation, and with a view to allow
time for-full inquiry, moved to lav the bill
on the table.
