The Wabash and Erie Canal Again. In the editorial in oar latt israe on the nabject of the Wabash and Erie. Canal, .we stated oar Intention,' to shotr.in enbiequent article, 6r articles, that point of fact, there never was 'any compact or agreement between Indiana and. Ohio, in relation to the navigation, or to the rebuilding, or keeping in repair of that part, of the Wftbash and Erie Canal which iB situatej within the territorial limits of

Indiana, but that if even Bach an agreement couirl be shown or established, it was and is void in law, becanse Congress never consented thereto, and because the Constitution, of the .: .United States expressly prohibits-, .all compacts and agreements between States, except such as, are made with the consent of Congress. In, carrying out this declared intentiojijJt-will be necessary to give a brief history of the action of the United States, as well ss of the Slates of Ohio and Indiana on the subject. We shall state each step taken by Congress^ and by Ohio and Indiana in the order of its occurrence. 1st, Then, Congresa by an act approved March 2, 1827, "granted to the State of Indiana, for tjie purpose of aiding the said State in opening 5anal, to unite at navigable points the waters of the Wabash Kiver with those of Lake Erie, a quantity of land equal to one half of fi ve^clions in width on each side of said canal, and reserving each alternate section to the. United States, to be selected by the Commissioner of the Land Office, under the direction of the President of the UaitecJ Stales, from one Grid thereof to the other and the said land shall be subject to the disposal of the Legislature of said State, for the purpose aforesaid and for no oth«r." 2d. The Legislature 6f Indiana, by an act approved January 5, 1828, accepted the grant of land so made by said act of Congress, and provided for the appointment tif a board of commissioners to be known and designated as "the Board of Commissioners of the Wabash and Miami Canal." The 4tb section of this act made it the duty of Raid Board to locate said: canal from such point on the Wabash River to such point on the Miami of Lake Erie, and within the State of Indiana as might be by them selected. It should be noted here that the Miapia of Lake Erie was another name for the Maumee River,, and hence the canal was at first called the Wabash and Miami Canal. It may also: be well before proceeding.wi^h the history of this canal legislation to recall the fact that the Congressional grant of 1827 contemplated the construction of a canal by the State of Indiana, from the Wabash Kiver to Lake Erie, which it was impossible to do without passing through some three or four counties of Ohio and that the grant to Indiana included an amount equal to the half of five sections in width on each side of the canal in Ohio as well as in Indiana. It was doubtless competent for Congress togrant to Indiana public lands situated in Ohio for canal purposes but Indiana could not, even with the consent of Congress, construct a canal,, or any part of a canal, within the State of Ohio without the consent of Ohio in the shape of cooperative legislation, authorizing its construction and providing for its protection within that State. Hence, the subsequent negotiations between Indiana and Ohio which will be noticed: hereafter. 3d. By an act of Congress approved May 24, 1828, entitled "An act to aid the State of Ohio in extending the Miami Canal from Dayton to Lake Erie," &c.> there was granted to Ohio for the purpose of aiding .her in extending the Miami Canal,from Dayton to Lake Erie by the Maumee route, a quantity of land equal to one half of five sections in width on each side of said canal, between Dayton and the Maumee river at the mouth of the Auglaize, so far as the canal should be located through thfe public lands, &c.

As the 4th section of this Act is the only one by which Congress ever gave its consent to the making of any coiflpact or agreement between Ohio and Indiana, on the subject of this canal or of the lands granted for ita construction, it may be well to quote the entire section. It reads as folhvs, viz

"Sect. 4. And be it further enacted, That the State of Indiana bex and hereby is authorized, to convey and relinquish to the State of Ohio OpOn such terms as may be agreed upon bv said States, all the

right and interest granted to the State of Indiana, to any lands within the limits of the State of Ohio, by an act entitled 'An Act to grant a certain quantity of land to the State of Indiana, for the purpose of aiding said State in opening a canal to. connect the waters of lie Wabash River with those of Lake Erie approved on the second day of March, one thousand eight hundred and twenty~seven the State of Ohio to hold said land on the same conditions upon which it was granted to the State of Indiana br the act aforesaid."

Let us here note, in passing, that the only consent given by Congress in this section, was a consent that Indiana might relinquish and convey to Ohio, the canal lands situated in Ohio, on such terms and conditions as Indiana might exact and Ohio might assent to, Ohio to hold them when conveyed, on the same conditions upon which they were granted to Indiana by Congress. This section does not em. brace or contemplate any compact or agreement between the two States as to that part of the canal which was situated in Indiana, and therefore could not give validity to a compact relative t6 the Indiana end of the canal, if it could be shown that such an one was made. •ith. In pursuance of the act of the Indiana Legislature, of January 5, 1S2S, before mentioned, the canal was surveyed and located from the point on the Wabash where the Tippecanoe River empties into it, to a point on the Maumee River on the line dividing Indiana from Ohio, and this location was confirmed by an act of our General Assembly, entitled "An Act concerning the Wabash and Miami Canal," approved January 23,1829. 5th. The next step in the history of this early canal legislation, consists of a joint resolution of the Indiana Legislature, approved January 5,1829, entitled "A Joint Resolution appointing a Com-.

misaioner to adju'nt the terms upon which the land granted to this State by the Act of Congress of the 2d of March. 1827, shall be conveyed to tfris Stftte ofrOhio."

This joint reaol&iioilk 3ftpr proper recitals in ffee ptfSsatnble, provided

First. The terms upon which the right jfBd interest of the State of "Indiana lb the land within the State of Ohio, granted, to the State of Indiana by the act^fc Congress of the 2d March, 1827^ shoifld be conveyed, and relinquished tct the State of Ohio:

Second. To provide for and secure to thoso citizens of the Stateof Indiana., who may hereafter be engaged in the transportation of njerchandise on the Miami Canal, the same privileges and the saqie terms, that tfiff citizens of Ohio may be allowed and enjoy, on lhasJFa&as/i and Midmi,Qindl

""Jf .'The joint resolution then provides in the mcpt explicit terras thftt. Hfe proceeding of the commissioner who should be selected thereunder, should be reported to the Geneva!!,. AsactiMy and be 'subjeet to it-rappwol or rejection "(ili.- Shortly after the passage of' said joint resolution, the" late Jiidge Je^. Sul livan, of Madison, Was elected and. cpniroissioned as commissioner, tinder the same, and proceeded to the seat of gogern*s ment of Ohio, where be entered into negotiations on the subject of his mission with Hon.

Wylia'S Silliman,

the com

missioner appointed by Ohip for that purpose. The. negotiations resulted in. the making by *aid commissioner,iof a written compact between the two States', subject to the ratification^ or. rejection of the Legislatures of ?aid Stales respectively. As this written compact .has been misrepresented and perverted, not only by the Toledo "Commercial," but by the joint resolution passed by the Legislature of Ohio at its last session, we have concluded atthe expense of being thbught sonle. what prolix, to give the tex^ of the Compact entire. Here it ia "Willys Sillicaazi, Commissioner on the part of the State of Ohio, andiJeremiah Sullivan, Commissioner oh the part of the State oi Indiana, duly .appointed a^d .co.m missioned as such by their riwpect^ve States to treat of and adjust the terms upon which the right^d interest of the Slate.of Indiana in' .the land: within the State of Ohio, granted to the State of Indiana by the hefr ef- Congress of- the 2pd of March, 1827, entitled 'An Act iogrqnt a certain quantity of land to the StaKej tif

It is,stipulated and agreed by and between the contracting parties, as aforesaid, for and. in consideration of the 'acts hereinafter stipulated, to be performed by the State of Indiana, that the State of Ohio will construet that .part of the •Wabashand Miami Canal that lies within her limits and that (he State ,oft Ohio shall commence the construction of,the same within five years, from the,first, day of January, 1830, and complete the same within fifteen years thereafter provided, that the Slate of Indiana shall have commenced that part of said canal which will be \?jthip the limits of the State of Indiana, within the .period Jimi ted by the act of Congress aforesaid approved the 2d of March, 1827. 2d. It is alsostipulated and agreed, in consideration as aforesaid, that the State of Ohio shall keep and preserve that part of said canal within the limits of the State of Ohio, in Buch a state of repair, as always to admit-of theJkee and uninterrupted navigation of thesame, and that the citizens oTlhe State Of Indiana shall be permitted to navigate the same with their boats, merchandise and. all other property, and shall be subject to the pay* ment of no higher, of dthfer tolls, duties or impositions, than are paid by, or ittir posed on the citizens of Ohio navigating the principal canals of Ohio." 3d. "The State of Indiana, for a)id in consideration of the stipulations'1 and agreements, as aforesaid, to be peformed by the State of Ohio, doth agree, that she will, mlhin one year after this contract shall have been ratified by the Legislatures of the respective Elates, convey and relinquish to the State of Ohio, all the right, title and interest granted to the State of Indiana to the lands with in the limitR of the State of Ohio, by the before-recited act of Congress of the 2d of March, 1827 but it is fully understood, and it is agreed by and between the contracting parties aforesaid* that if the State ol Ohio should fail, after having ratified this contract, to complete that part of said canal which Bhall lie within the^limits of said State as aforesaid, within the time stipulated in this contract, then the said lands, hereby agreed to be conveyed to the State of Ohio, shall revert to the S ate of Indiana and the State of Ohio shail release to the State of Indiana, all the right, title and interest «he shall have acquired therein hy virtue of this contract, or otherwi:-e and it is further agreed and stipulated by and between the contracting parties, as aforesaid, that if the State of Ohio shall have sold, or otherwise disposed of said lands, or any part of them, then in case of a failure as aforesaid, the State of Ohio shall pay to the Slate ol Indiana, the amount of moneys for which said lands shall have been sold, and which shall in no case, be lesS than one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre." 4. "It is furthermore agreed and stipulated, by and between the parties afore said, that the State of Indiana, shall complete that part of said canal which shall be within th

.RUSSIAJ-1:

Facts and FlgnreB- Coficerning the Development of the £mpirc.

CorretDondence. of ike Pall Mall Gazette.] Some interesting statistics have been, published here relative io the intellectual and tuaterlal development of Russia durr ing-.the last three years. .The unsatisfactory state Of. public education is accounted for by the deficiency of teachers. There are 622 Professorships .in the Russian universities, and. of these' 202 are Vacant —viz: 14 in. the University of St. Peterabnrg, 19 in that of Moscow, seven in that of Dorpat, ten:iii that Of Warfaw, 27 in that of Odesa, 38 in that of ltleff, 42 in that of Kazan, and 45 in that of Kharkoff. The number,of middle schools in Russia is 98, and there are.199 vacan cies for teachers, which, there is at pres» ent: np prospect of filling lip. The nefWspapers/on the other handr increase both in-numbers and circulation. There are 90 periodicals in St. Petersburg alon^, and the post-office sends to the provinces 80,327 copies of daily ^papers, 40,116 of weekly ones, 60,743 of periodicals which appear once a month. The paper which has.lhe largest circulation in the provinces is the official "Government Messenger" (13,650): next corner the "Son of the Fatherland (11,320) then the "Exchange Gazette" (10,037) the "St. Peters burg Gazettee" (7,001) the "Gofoss" t5,290), and so on. But the greatest progress has, of course, been made In the commercial and industrial departments. In 1860 the value of the exports was 168,031,587 roubles, and of the imports 138.181,745 roubles in 1870 the exports, -were sold for 351,578,853 roubles,and the value of the imports was 315,407,400 roubles. The foreign trade of Russia has thus increased by 128 per cent., in the last ten years. The.incr.ease in the im ports, moreover, is not a normal- one, foritis caused ..to.a. considerable-extent -by the importation of arms, railsjjnacbinery, and other, articles for which there ia not a constant demand. The exports consists chiefly of rye, wheat,-oats, etc., 163,000,000^ roubles,) flax, hemp, bacon,: cattle, skins, hops and wood.. The Largest trade with England, (exports 1 70I

.000,000

roubles, importet 407 000j000 next Prussia, which took 67,000,000 roubles, wot th of the exports, and imported into Eussia. 125,000,000 roubles worth, touch regret has been expressed at the circumstance that Russian industry was not represented at this yekVs Interactional Exhibition in London* and the Russian Scientific Society has petitioned the Govetimnent to take steps for e?t«hlishirig" a Russian department at future .exhibitions, and' to cell npon the Russian .manufacturers to take part in them. .f

The Cowpor ifonament. The English people are at last talking of erecting a monument to William Cowper, the author of "The Task." Cowper died in 1800 At North Birkhamstead, in Hertfordshire, where it is proposed to erect this monument after nearly three quarters of a century,. The admirers of Cowper in modem days ace comparatively few, thongh "John Gilpin" and "The Bell at Edmonton" will probably never be forgotten. *Oowper's fifei was a sad and unhappy one, though his poems do not express any settled melancholy. He loved flowers* nature, and animal life, and he paints ail of these very effectively, if not always melodiously. His chief merit to the careful stndent of English" poetry, consists in the fact that to, him. are we indebted fcr a newer and less artificial school of poetry than had been- attained by his predecessors. He first dared to break away from the despotic sway with which Pope ruled the realm of English poetry, and opened the door through which his successors reached a purer and higher form of verse. -For this, if noth: ing else, he deserves that his fame should be recorded by a monument. Many scholars give Cow per's translation of Ho mer the preference over all other*, and the general public Vonld probably have accorded it the same if Cowper had been a master of versification, in which he was deficient. Tt is singular that so gentle, good, and unselfish a man as Cowper, should have had lcng periods of insanity, during which he thought himself already condemned to eternal woe. It is proposed.to ask the people* 6f this conn try for aid in the erection-of this monument, and we hope it will not be asked -in vain Lauimlle.

The feeling was vain, however. No letter came, and after months ef waiting,'the indignant Thompson wrote to a friend in San Francisco With inquiries respecting the silent ones.. The answer caihe that they had recently disappeared from,the city together, having apparently in their possession, a considerable sum ef money, obtained no one kfcew exactly, how. The miner, of course, knew whence the money came, but sucli intelligence of its seem •ing:effect upon thOse-whOm he bad held deartet in the world appealed to his

He joined-an expedition to the Great Salt Lake, as it* is called,, and remained iii the wilderness beyond the reach of mail or messenger, lor several years. Re turning finally to Victoria, or Fraser river, he went withianothfer expedition to Idaho, and there, and in Montana, he was lost until as late as 1866. From the latter year until 1868 he wasa resident of Salt Lake City, going from.thence to the once famous White. Fines mines of Ne vada, about eighteen inonths ago. Fortune smiled not upon his generally list less efforts he had a life of comfortless vagabondage, and the twenty years of his absence from San Francisco wrought such lines in his. face and whitenessin his hair as forty happier onea could not: have produced. Some two weeks ago the broken, hopeless and embittered man visited a mining Camp not far distant from the: town of Eureka, Nevada, for the purpose of joining a company fitting out for a trip to Arizona, and there, says the Eureka "Sentinel," telling his story, he was-fated to be delivered at last from the delusion of twenty miserable years. In the expedition preparing for Arizona was another man named Thompson, Mho, though neither recognized pr recognising at first, proved to be no other than our miner's recreant brother. When the poor vagabond was informed of this, de spite his wrongs, he fell upon his broth er's neck aqd cried like a chiid, and not only did that brother receive and return the:caress watbout-sliame, but he took the earliest opportunity to reprove the other for leaving his wife and brother tosnp pose for nearly a score of years that he was dead.

The gold had been .received, but without address,:or a-line to tell. whether it came as a living man'« gift or a dead man?i legacy. No letter from the miner had ever readhed wife or'brother, though they had sent many.a one tp.him. The wife had at last felt obliged to conclude that her husband was dead the gold sent her was his dying gift, and with the money she bought a valuable form-near San Jose, where wearing the weeds of widow-hood, she still lives. As for the brother, he spent portions of the last fifteen years in purpiljt of some trace of the miner, hoping at least to find his grave and sanctify it with a fraternal tear but now that he actually saw the living man before him, nothing was left for them but a rushing journg/ to a certain valley fartti near San Jose, where the best, truest and staunchest would at once become the most surprised and hap piest,little woman in the world! "Ere this," concludes the story, "there has heen a meeting." The decline of life will pass in ease, comfort and happiness for a man who for twenty years believed himself the victim of woman's perfidy.
