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.
