FKIDAY MORNINO.--.JDECKMBEK IT New Board of Sinking Fund Coronililoners. The Committee of Ways and Means have reported a bill to provide for the election of a Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners, prescribing their duties, term of office, and compensation, which contains, in our optnion, many very objectionable features. It embraces the plan, which, it was predicted, would be concocted by politicians, to concentrate the funds of the State at Indianapolis, and give the management of (hem to the agents of the dominant party, who would, by this power, exercise a monetary influence as dangerous as could be exerted if they had possession of the State Bank. According to the bill the Board is to be composed of a President, four Commissioners and a Clerk, making six. fat offices to be filled by the Legislature for a term of four years. They are to have all the powers, and discharge all the duties of tbe old Sinking Fond Board, who are to resign and transfer the funds to the new Board on tbe first Monday of April next. The new Board is to have not only the control of the Sinking Fund, but they are to be constituted the sub-treasurers of the State, to whom all its revenues are to be paid to be kept in their charge ; and from which they are to pay the expenditures of the State on the checks of the Treasurer. The State Treasurer is thus deprived of his most important functions, by the transfer of all the public moneys to the custody of the new Board, and is reduced by this provision to a simple register of the public accounts. The bill makes a very singular disclosure in its 19th section, in which it is declared that " as the present salary of the Treasurer of State will not be commensurate with his services and responsibilities, after the withdrawal of THE PCBLIO FUNDS FROM HIS OWN raivATB Ü6B, be it enacted, that after Dec. 24tb, his salary shall be at the rate of $2,000 per annum, and that he be allowed $600 for clerk hire and stationery, in lieu of percentages and perquisites now received." It would appear . from this, that the State Treasurer has enjoyed " the private use" of the public funds, and a percentage and perquisites for their use: It has been known, and we have often referred to the danger, that there was a scheme to obtain possession of the large trust fund abont to be paid over by the Bank to the State, and to organize some kind of a commission through which demagogues and speculators could get the use of it for their individual profit and for the benefit of the party. This bill seems to be the consummation of that project. The party in power in the Legislature will have the appointment of the commissioners, who will have the control, at their discretion, of between three and four million dollars. The people know from daily disclosures how the favors of the use of public funds are dispersod, and it is easy to foresee who will have the loans from this generous fund, equal in amount to the capital of the State Bank. It will form a grand political corruption fund, the control of which will be the subject of bitter party strife and of corrupt and profligate intrigue It will aggravate the deplorable tendency of our present party politics. The scheme will concentrate all the money of the State of every description at Indianapolis, to be kept and dispensed there, giving that section an important advantage in the use of funds that belong to the citizons of every portion of the State. There is besides no adequate security pro vided for the good management of the funds. The Bill provides that the commissioners shall each enter into bends of 100,000, to be approved by the Governor. The value of these official bonds can be estimated from the declarations made in another place, by the chairman, who reported this Sinking Fund scheme. Ho said that he found the official bonds in the State Treasurer's office as of little value as the worthless securities that had been taken by some of the Treas urers for private loans of the State's money A Governor who wanted to borrow, or wish ed to serve his party, would not be rigid about Bonds: and bonds for hHndreds of " thousands of dollars would be poor securities for millions in cash. But the Bill de clares that embezzlement shall bo a felony, and punished by fine and imprisonment for two or more years in the penitentiary. 'We would like to see a bublic defaulter witn a million in his pocket, or even $50,000 in his purse, sent to the penitentiary for two years. The Bill is a most dangerous scheme to concentrate the public money at Indian apolis. and to place it in the hands of politl cal managers, without any adequate guards and pledges for its safety.. It is so objec tionable in all its leading features that pub lic attention should be aroused to arrest its passage. Legislative Proceedings. The Judiciary Committee reported several amendments to the Bill providing Clerks of Circuit and Common Pleas Clourts from practicing as attorneys at law. On the second reading of Hoffrcn's bill for the protection of sheep from dojs, Green offered the following amendment, as addi tional sections. Sbc. That in all cases where the death penalty is to be executed under the pro visions of this act, it shall be, if the crim inal be a .New founaland or Bull doe, by shooting, and if a Hound or other kind of dor or dogs, then, in that case, by hanging, and in- all cases snail De Duriett witliout skinninr'. Skc. Inasmuch as there is now a law fnr killing sheeD-killine dogs, it is hereby declared that this act shall not take effect nd hp in force, unless the person or persons inflicting the death-penalty as contemplated in this act shall be in the heat of passion, and that heat of passion caused by the wickedness of the canine brute to be pnn ished. Wagner said this was one of the most imnnrtant bills that this senate couia act

on. . The reason why, Indiana was. not a great wool-growing State was because of the insecurity of this species of stock from the depredations of dogs. The State Board of Agriculture had considered, this matter many times, and regretted the existence of legislation on the subject. i '-,( Green said he was serious in his amendment. He wished to prevent the stealing of dog skins and making them an article of merchandize. March said this bill involved the question

of wool and abolitionism, and he should move its reference to the Committee en Federal Relations, as the issues to be made up from it were important to politicians. The bill was finally referred to the Com mittee on Agriculture. The bill for the relief of Nathan Rowley was amended so as to have the amount of his claim paid out of the Treasury of Vanderbugh county. By consent, Hendry introduced a resolu tion, that the select committee appointed yesterday to examine into the condition of the Senate Chamber, report some means for exempting the centre of the chamber, occupied by Senators, from the falling rain.The resolution was unanimously adopted. A long discussion ensued on a resolution introduced by Murray, looking to the abolition of the Courts of Common Pleas. The Senate adjourned witliout coming to a vote on the resolution. In the House, the Committee on elections r sported back a bill providing for the pun ishment of election officers who refuse the ballot of any legal roter. Concurred in. A vast lot of reports from the various committees were made, which are of but lit tle importance. A motion to adjourn tine die on Wednes day, the 22d inst., was adopted by a vote of ayes 69, nays 25. The bill providing the time, place, and manner of electing U. S. Senators, coming up, Mr. Gordon, of Marion county, made a lengthy speech in its defense. Mr. Blythe replied that the gentleman from Marion had not touched the two vital questions in the case. There was danger of wrong doing in po litical parties as well as in individuals, and when a party finds itself in the wrong it was a manly act to frankly retract. Both parties have done wrong cruelly wrong in not electing beuators when it was their sworn duty to do so. . It was obligatory upon them to take every step to secure the election of Senators, and to join in such election. Had they so done, we should now have two Senators whose election would have been free from fraud. - - - - - - Bright, when president of the State, had Cruelly wronged the State; but while there was no doubt of that, it could be no justifi cation for others. He opposed the emergency clause, becauso it asked himself and Democrats to do what they believed, what they know tojbe wrong. The emergency clause offered by Davis, was sufficient. It had been stated by the Supreme Court that under the old Constitution, the Legislature was the only competent tri bunal to decide tbe emergency, and were un der no obligation to set forth the reason for it their action was final. Again : Has not the U. S. Senate, by their action, precluded any election on our part? lie boheved tbey had, and that Bright and Fitch had a legal right to their seats. He would, it he had legal power, turn out Bright and Fitch, boeamte they were not of his political faith. But more than that, in the last year a question had arisen which overshadowed all others. Incited by the Kansas question it now swallowed it up completely wnettier an- political power should be centered in the hands of the President and his Cabinet, or shall be given to people? Bright and Fitch have permitted themselves to be bound hand and foot to Buchanan. They do his bidding. Therefore he proclaimed them unfit to represent freemen. But he would leave them where they are, confident that they would yet re ceive the penalty ot the wrong. . The beginning the attempt to defy the will of the people was begun by Bright and he would receive the penalty. Even now, when his term expires, none will be so poor as to do him reverence. Slavery Agitation. The first movement made in the United States Senate at this session even before tho President's message had been received was a motion to revive the slavery agitation by calling up the old aud almost forgotten Amistad case for discussion. It originated with a leading supporter of Mr. . Buchanan, and the Senate by a party vote of 24 to 19, agreed to singlo out this case from other more important matters, for debate, for no other reason, apparently, than because there is a " nigger in it." The case has been the subject of negotiation with Spain for 20 years ; no one expects now that anything will be done with it ; but it will serve the purpose of keeping up au agitation, and perhaps, enable the fire-eaters to dissolve the Union two or three times, after their fashion of breaking it up. It is remarkable that this periodical agitation begins the year pre ceding a Presidential canvas, and is always commenced by the same men who are con tinnally denouncing it, and who are always settling it, and on' every new.-, settlement they are the first to renew the agitation. The trick is teo stale for another repetition As it is likely to be the topic of a noisy de bate, we copy a statement of tho leading facts in the case : A Spanish schooner, called the Amistad, sailed from liavana on the 28th ot June in 1839. bound to Guanaia, another Cuban port. She was commanded by her owner, Don Kamon t errer, and, besides a cargo ot merchandise, had on .board fifty-three negro slaves. Before leaving, her owner obtained the usual' clearance papers, and complied with all the requirements of the law. . On the night of the 30th of the same month the captain, two sailors and a negro servant of the captain were killed by the slaves, In addition to the captain and the two sailors, thera were two other persons on board, Don Jose JSniz and von redro .Mon tez, the latter of whom wned four of the I slaves, and the other forty-nine, uotn ltuiz they might I and Montez were spared that take the vessel to the coast of Africa, where the negroes designed landing. They had. however, been wounded and treated with much cruelty, and probably had tneir ser vices not been required, tbey too, would have been sacrificed. Montez, instead of directing the course of the vessel to Africa, steered her to the coast of the United States, and after several days sülinfc reached Long Island Sound. Here the Amiatad was boarded by the brig-of-war Washington, I commanded by Capt. Godney, who, having I oeeu maae acquaimea with the circum-

stances, took possession of the vessel, secur- j

ea we negroes, ana Drougnt tneni witn the vessel to New London, Connecticut. A trial of the negroes for- murder was subsequently had, and it ended in their complete acquital.' They were afterwards sent over to Africa by the Colonization Society. The claim, which baa been presented to our government for the indemnification of the owners of slaves and the Amistad for the loss of their property. The amount of the claim presented by the Spaniäh government on behalf of the aggrieved parties, is $50,000, and this, the President, in his message of December, recommends the payment of, by an appropriation for that purpose. The claim was also recommended by President Polk, and has been repeatedly referred to in ether meesoges during his administration. The Tariff. The Washington State is alarmed at the indications of tho strength of the tariff party in Congress. It says : The apprehension excited among Demo cratic members by the President's suggestion in regard to tho imposition ' of specific duties, was increased by the prompt response of the House to the appeal in bchalfof a pro tective tariff. Mr. Dewart of Pennsylvania, felt himself so greatly encouraged by the unexpected recommendation of the Executive, as to immediately propose a suspension of the rules with a view to the introduction of a bill in accordance with the designs of the protectionist party. The movement was zealously seconded by Mr. E. Joy Morris, Representative from Philadelphia, and by the co-operation of a few ambigueus Democrats with the bulk of the Opposition, was sustained by a decisive majority of the House. v e had supposed, if any doctrine of the Democratic party was thoroughly incorporated in the policy of the Government, that the principle of free-trade was thus establish ed beyond the possibility of repudiation. We had supposed, if the Democratic party be united in the support of -any one article of its creed, that it is unanimously averse to the revival of the Federal system of protective duties. We had fondly imagined that. instead of being reduced to the necessity of defending our position, we might be at liberty henceforth to develope the philosophy of free-trade to the farthest limit compatible with the exegincies of the countrv. The action of this very Congress during its last session, in entertaining a proposition lor the abandonment of the tariff system, confirmed us in the opinion that the Democracy need be in no apprehension of a return to the exploded dogma of protective duties. It appears wo repose upon a false security. The first day of the present session is signal ized by a recommendation ofspecific imposts from a Democratic Executive; and the second returns a iavorable response to the sugges tion from a Democratic House of Representatives. T'navailable Cash. Mr. Hamilton Smith, representative from Perry, in a letter from Indianapolis to the Cannelton Ri-porler, makes the expose of the condition of the State Treasury. Mr. Smith is a member of the Committeo of Ways and Means, and has had an occasion to look into the Treasury vault and has examined its contents: There is now a nominal balance in the treasury of quite enough to pay the interest due next month ; but about 85,000 of this is unavailable unavailable cash is a new phrase in financial estimates. In this case it is made up of protested Bills of Exchange; certificates of deposit issues to our Treasurers by wildest Hanks and gambling brokers ; and bonds for wild lands. Tho securities, in themselves, are nearly worthless, and. as things are managed here, the official bonds are of but little more value. I see but little chance of introducing any system of more rigid accountability : of greater economy, and of increased safeguard. Instead of looking after the substantial interests of the State the members of both Houses seem to be more solicitous to put themselves " right on the record" as the phrase is that is, right on the partisan record. Theayeslnnd noes on every modifica tion of the liquor, nigger and Kansas ques tions, with the preliminary discussions, occupy the largest part of the time of both Houses. Salary ov E.nclish Ambassadors. The British Minister to Turkey enjoysthe higheat annual salary granted to any English envoy lie receives about $70,000 per an num. The English Minister at Paris has a salary of $50,000. The Ambassadors to Spain and Russia receivo $30,000 cach.The Minister to Austria has S25,000 ; to the United States $22,000. The other diplo matic representatives arc paid from $10,000 to $20,000 each. The Mission at Washing ton ranks, on the pay roll, only as third grade, but in honors it is among the first. The reported successor of Lord Nanicr, who is recalled and is about to be sent to Prussia, is the Hon. Richard B. P. Lyons. eldest son ot Admiral l.ord Ivon3 : he was born in 1817, and is a bachelor. Admission of Kassas. The Hon. John G. Davis, of this State, has introduced into the U. S. House of Representatives, a bill to repeal so much of the act entitled "An act for the admission of the State of Kan sas into the Union," approved May 4, 1858, as prohibits the people of Kansas from forming a constitution, and asking admission into the Union until the population thereof equals or exceeds tho ratio of rep resentation required for a member of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States. E Several young men, who have been employed on two of the Wisconsin railroads, as clerks and agents, have been detected in sales of tickets fraudulently obtained. The depredations have been carried on for long time and to a very large extent."Those implicated Lnvo heretofore occupied high 'social positions and we popular and respected by the com mnn.-y. The Gouldy Family. The wounded members of this family are now considered out of danger, and with the exception of Mr. Gouldy, are able to be about the house. Mr. G. is gaining rapidly, and his complete recovery is confidently looked for. Johanna Murphy, the servant girl, who is still at the Hospital, has so far recovered as to be able to sit up for two or three hours each day B,The Committee on Public Printing, in our Legislatnre, is composed of practical printers, with the exception of one member. The interests of the State in this matter is in safe hands, for there can be no deceptions before such a committee of type-setters.

..Tue Expense of the Stats Benevolent Institutions. It is said the Insane Asylum will ask for 36,000 for current expenses next year, and 80,000 for building purposes. The Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb will ask some $25,000 for current expenses, and the Blind Asylum will demand from 20,000 to 22,000. As to the S Ute Prison we shall probably have & full report in a day or two. Its condition at present is one of the best, owing, in part, to its over-crowded condition.

Editob Sir: You will oblizo the undurigued by inserting in yonr columns the following: statement. On leaving Evansville. on the 7th of the present mouth, on the steamer John Tompkins, we landed at tbe Bodiam Mines, below Evansville, when the Captain announced that Z,'ZOU bushels of coal wore to be taken on the boat. Landing: abont dusk, the ten hands commenced taking on the coal, and at 12 o'clock struck for supper. The mn supposing that the Captain (George Sutton) would not ask tho crew, consisting of ten men, to do any more tnat night, refused to work any more till dayiignt. u Hearing this, the Captain (who, by the way, is an unfeeling man) said he'd be d d if they mid not work, be would kill the last man of them, and commenced beating his men in a most ruei manner. Captain Sutton's character is well knawn on the river, but no one has had the hardihood to expose him.
