Friday Morning, December 15, 1871.

The Wabash and Erie Canal Again, and for the Last Time. Although the joint resolution of the "Ohio Legislature of January 29th, 1834, ((noted in our last, does not constitute the contract ultimately made between Indiana and Ohio, it was (he proposition iipon which the subsequent contract was •liised and therefore we gave it to our readers as indicative of the intentions of at least one of the contracting parties, and consequently a proper document by which to expound the contract itself.?

We now proceed to conclude the subject by showing the contract, and the only contract, made between Ohio and Indiana in relation to the Wabash and Erie Canal and by giving our views as to its scope and meaning.

We aver that the only agreement or compact ever made between Indiana and Ohio in relation to the Wabash and Erie Canal, is embodied in two joint resolutions the one passed by the Legislature of Indiana, and approved February 1^ 1834 and the other passed by the Legislature of Ohio, on the 24th day of February, 1834.

As these joint resolutions constitute Iht compact, our readers are entitled, not merely to our version of them, but to the text of the documents themselves, so that each reader may form his own judgment a* to the extent and nature of the arrangement. The Indiana Joint-Kesoln-tion reads as follows: "A Joint Resolution relative to the cession of the Wabash and Erie Canal lands which lie in the State of Ohio, ap» proved February 1, 1834.

Whereas. The State of Indiana became vested with the right to a quantity oLland in the State of Ohio by the act of Congress of the second of March, 1827, granting certain lands to aid in the construction of a canal to connect at navigable points the waters of the Wabash with those of lake Erie and.by the subsequent act of Congress 'to aid the State of Ohio tb extending the Miami canal from Dayton to Like Erie approved May 24, .1828 the State of Indiana was authorized to convey and relinquish to the State of •'Ohio, upon such terms as may be agreed upon by Baid States, all the right arid interest granted to the State of Indiana, to any lands within th#llmits of the State of Ohio by the act of Congress aforesaid, of the 2d of March, 1827:—And,

Whereas, A Joint Besolution of the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, approved the of January, 1834, has been communicated to the General Assembly of this State, setting forth the willingness of Ohio to receive the transfer and relinquishment of the canal lands within her jurisdiction, from the State of Indiana, and to construct that part of the Wabash and Erie Canal which is situated within her bounds, which measures, if carried into effect by expediting the construction of the canal, and obviating the inconveniences and delays which would necessarily arise from conflicting jurisdic tions between the two States, will greatly advance the interests and prosperity of the respective citizens. Therefore,

Resolved by the General Assembly of the

1st. The State of Ohio to construct and keep in repair a canal from the intersection of the Wabash and Erie Canal with the state line dividing Indiana and Ohio, to a point as low down the Maumee river towards Lake Erie, as the towns of Maamee and Perrysburgh, the dimensions of which shall not be less in width at top water line than forty feet, and of capacity of not less than four feet depth of water the locks and acqueducts to be construct ed of sufficient dimensions to admit the passage of as large boats as can be passed in similar structures on that part of the Wabash and Erie Canal which lies in Indiana 'said canal to be,' and forever remain a public highway for the use of the government of the United States, free from any toll or any other charge whatever, for any property of the United States, or persons in their service passing through the same. 2d. The State of Ohio to charge no higher tolls to citizens of Indiana, or other persons passing on or transporting freights on said canal, than shall be charged to, or paid by the. citizens of Ohio, nor higher rates of tolls than shall be charged on the principal canals in Ohio. 3d. The State of Ohio to complete said portion of the Wabash and Erie Canal on or before the 2d of March, 1847, and to undertake the performance to the General Government of all the stipulations and conditions required by the aforesaid act of Congress, approved the 2d of March, 1827, which the State of Indiana would have been held and bound in good faith to perform, provided she had constructed this part of the canal in the Slate of Ohio, and have selected and appropriated to her use the lands which are herein transferred and relinquished. "4th, and lastly. The State of Ohio, by her official act to accept of the terms and •onditions of this transfer and conveyance of said lands, and communicate the same to the Governor of this State, on or before the thirty-first day of March next:" "The State of Indiana doth hereby grant and quit claim, relinquish and convey to the State of Ohio, all the right, title and interest in and to all the lands lying and being situated in the State of Ohio, which she, the said State of Indiana, derived by or in virtue of, through, or from the act of Congress entitled 'An Act to grant a certain quantity of land to the State of Indiana for the purpose of aid ing said State in opening a canal to connect the waters of'Wabash River with those of Lake Erie,' approved the 2d of March 1827 and hereby authorizes the State of Ohio to receive from the General Government the lands aforesaid, and to select the same according to the previsions of said act of Congress, in as full right and manner as if the said canal was to be constructed by the State of Indiana, and the lands selected and set apart by her authority."

The joint resolution of the General Assembly of Ohio, of February 24, 1834, after reciting its premable at full length, heaforesaid joint resolution of the Legislature of Indiana, reads as follows, viz:

Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That in consideration of the relinquishment, transfer and conveyance by the State of Indiana to the State of Ohio, of said lands lying in the State of Ohio, granted by Congress to the State of Indiana by the act of the second of March, 1827, to aid raid State in opening a canal, to unite at navigable points the waters of the Waba«h and those of Lake Erie, the Slate of Ohio agrees to and accepts the rcUnguishtnent, transfer and conveyance of oatd land, on the terms and conditions on which said relinquishment, transfer and conveyance are made, and accepts all and singular the terms and conditions of said resolution as contained in the first, second, third and fourth articles or sections of said resolution, and hereby pledges herself to the'performance thereof fully and to all intents and purposes as the same are therein contained and expressed.''

Here, then, we have an unconditional and unreserved acceptance on the part

of Ohio of the joint resolution of the' State of Indiana, of February 1st 1S34, a full acceptance of the rtlinquiihment and conveyance of the canal lands utuated in OhiOj upon the terms fipon. which said relinquishment and conveyance is made, with a pledge by Ohio, for the performance of th6se terms as expressed in the Indiana joint resolution. The Indiana joint resolution of February 1,3834, having been accepted by the Ohio joint resolution of Eebruary 24,1834, we must look to the Indiana resolution for the nature, terms and scope of the contract. Whatever legal obligations either of these States is under to the-other in relation to the Wabash and Erie Canal, must be found in this resolution, for it, with the acceptance thereof by Ohio, constitutes the only compact or agreement made between the two States on the subject.

Let us then briefly analize the contract contained in the Indiana resolution: First then, as soon as the resolution was accepted by Ohio, and became a conlract, it was, so far as Indiana was concerned, a completely executed, conlract, there not being a single stipulation in the compact to be performed by'Indiana in the future. The language used by Indiana is not promissory, but is in the present tense and takes immediate effect, leaving nothing for future performance so far as she is concern

It is the language of yrant and not

ed the language of covenant or promise, Her words are, in consideration of the following terms and conditions, to be performed by the State of Ohio. The State

"of Indiana

(not will) but doth hereby grant, quit claim relinquish and convey to the State of Ohio, &c A score of Philadelphia lawyers, sharp they proverbially are, could not draft declaration on a grant, against the grant' or when it was unaccompanied by a covenant to the grantor or some other person Indiana, then, can not be sued by Ohio on this compact, because at the very instant of its birth it was, so far as Indiana concerned, fully executed and performed and in that same instant Ohio got all that she bargained for in the contract.

Second. The compact on the part Ohio was, on the contrary, wholly executo ry or promissory. It consisted entirely stipulations to be performed by Ohio the future, and these stipulations consti tuted the.consideration of Indiana's grant Ohig, for an adequate consideration promised to construct and keep in repair her end of the canal. Indiana made no similar promise, nor did Ohia give her any consideration for any such promise.

Ohio for the same consideration prom ised that "said canal (that is the canal be constructed by her) when completed should be and forever remain, a public highway for the use of the government of the United States, free from any toll," &c Indiana received from Ohio no considers tion for any similar promise to Ohio, and in point of fact made none.

Ohio, for the same consideration, stipu lated that she would charge no higher tolls to citizens of Indiana, or other persons, on said canal than shall be charged to or paid it nals of Ohio.

Indiana received no consideration for similar stipulations, as to her end of the canal, and made none.

Ohio, for the same consideration, stipu lated to complete her end of the canal on or before March 2, 1847, and to perform to the General Government, all the stipu lations and conditions of the act of Con gress of March 2,1827, which the State of Indiana would have been bound to per form if the grant had not been made by Indiana to Ohio.

Indiana received no consideration for and made no corresponding promise. But enough has been said- to conclu sively show that there is no contract with Ohio upon which she can possibly main tain an action against Indiana in relation to the canal. If it shall be said in reply to all this that the original act of March 2, 1827, required the canal in Indiana, as well as in Ohio, to be commenced within five years and completed within twenty years, and that said canal when complet ed slid.ll be and forever remain a public highway for the use of the Government of the United States, free "from any toll &c. and that by accepting the grant In diana became bound to keep the canal open, we reply that if this theory were true Ohio is not the party to complain because the arrangement was not with her but with the United States, and surely Ohio cannot sue Indiana on a contract between the latter and the United States Whenever the United States complains against Indiana of a breach of the agree ment just alluded to, it will be in order for Indiana to respond, and to show that the acceptance of the grant did not create a contract to rebuild or repair the canal alter it had been completed.

Bichest Man in Massachusetts. A Boston correspondent of the Chicago "Journal" writes the following:

The wealthiest man in Massachusetts is Wm. F. Weld, doing business at No. 42 Central Wharf, under the name and style of Wm. F. Weld & Co. The firm members are William F. Weld, R. Baker, Jr., Wm. G. Weld, and Geo. W. Weld. The senior member of the firm is almost seventy years old, is a passive member, and is worth $18,000,000. The old sign over the doorway on Central Wharf is almost obliterated by age.

Mr. Weld, who lives on Arlington avenue, wai engaged in the dry goods trade some twenty-five or thirty years ago. He failed, paid forty cents on the dollar, but several years after was fortunate in business, and paid dollar for dollar on his indebtedness. From the dry goods business he went into the East India, San Domingo and provincial trade, and at one time monopolized the former, and becoming exceedingly wealthy he engaged in the ship-building business, in which he has been one of the heaviest dealers, having constructed, and bought and sold more vessels than any other two leading men in the country. The house of Weld & Co. is under a cloud just now. Not many months ago some of the leading firms in business bought up all the nutmegs in the foreign markets, which act drove parties into a desire to get rich suddenly, and consequently it led to smugfiling. A few days since the establishment of Weld & Co. was seized by United States officials, the safes broken open and the books seized, for irregularities in connection with the importation of nutmegs. The house being one of the oldest and strangest of onr importing houses, the affair has created a great deal of excitement. A suit is now pending against this firm in New York for similar alleged frauds enacted at that port, involving $100,000. The firm of_ mid & Co cvi dently don't believe in paying duty on nutmegs and mare.

THE "WAMISS"' AT SEA.

jrnljr Boys—Observations Along the Eqnater from Africa to the West Indies.

From the eta lork World Man of the unmanageable boys of this city, such as have been found guilty of petty crimes, or are complained off by their parents as incorrigible, are sent to the school-ship Mercury, at Hart's Island, there to be trained for practicable seamanship, as well as kept under whpfe»ome control, and prepared for obtaining a livelihood in an honest and useful occupation. Last winter the mercury was sent off on a long practice cruise, in order that the boys might have training in the actual duties of sailors, and at the same time a quasi scientific character was given to the expedition, calculated to stimulate a taste for useful studies and accurate observation. The results of the cruise have just been published in the form of a report from the Commissioners of Charities and Correction.

The Mercury leL Hart's Island in December, lfc70, and proceeded to the coast of Africa, where the scientific survey was to begin. Leaving Sierra Leone the vessel sailed westward across the Atlantic, keeping on aline a little north of the Equater. Soundings were taken at short intervals and observations were made and recorded on the temperature of th'e water, the direction, depth, and velocity of the various currents, and samples of the water at different depths, and of the soil and deposits of the bottom, were obtained and brought home. Many of these observations were of decided scientific value. A profile of the basin of the Atlantic from Sierra Leone to the Barba does, on a line about twelve degrees north, of the Equator, has been drawn, and shows a maximum depth of 3,100 fathoms, which was ascertained by one of the deepest accurate soundings ever made. Tables have also been made from these observations by Professor Henry Draper showing the height of the barometer at: different points on the line traversed, the direction and velocity of the currents, both in the expanse of the ocean and among the We3t India Islands, the tem perature, and specific gravity of the water at various depths, and the temperature of'the air under varying circumstances.

These results are of value io science, but the principal benefit of the cruise was in the experience and training which it gave to the juvenile crew. They Returned fitted to become efficient seamen, either in the navy or the merchant marine, and with a special training for ser vice on scientific expeditions and surveys. It is proposed by the Commissioners to apply to Congress during the present session to have authority vested in the Secretary of the Navy to discriminate in enlistments in the navy in favor of boys who have been trained on the school-ships. These long cruises with a definite purpose form the very best means of giving them the discipline Which they need. So far as the reformatory effect of the schoolships is concerned, the Commissioners say: "There i»reason to believe that it is the most effective mode to reclaim erring boys whose errors caused by the love of adventure, by evil associations, or ungovernable tempers, are fast impelling them to ruin. Brought under the inflexible discipline of a ship in actual service, they are taught in a few months the duties of a profession which directs and gratifies their love of adventure, and provides for them the means of an honest and useful livelihood."
