There seems to have arisen a spirit of rivalry and emulation highly creditable to the citizens of our Slate, which, if properly cherished, will place us, at no distant day, by the side of New York, Pennsyl-

Postmaster General was ignorant of the wW transaction. Insinuations were also made against Mr. Brown, the Chief Clerk, formerly the superintendent of mail contracts, and now the Treasurer of the Department. The charge was proved, by all the witnesses who could have known any thing ot the transaction, to be false. It appears that Mr Brown had loaned money which he held as the agent of an estate, on interest, to a person who is a contractor: and that he had made a loan on interest to

error, or shadow of error3 which might, by the powers of sophistry and distortion, be spread before the public as a pretext of complaint. Hut with all, that the rancor of revenge could excite, and with the advantage of the long experience of these t wo men in the administration of that Department, all that they, could present is demonstrated in the report ot the minority, to be incorrect in every material point on which they have rested their accusations. The counter report of Messrs. Grundy and Robinson, on the condition of the Post Office Department, o-ivps a clear and lucid exhibition of the character

and condition of that department, and furaisaes a strong testimony of the fidelity with which it has been administered. The long experience of Mr. Grundy as a statesman, and especially as chairman of that Committeehis superiority ot talents his industry and business habits, altogether quality him for the investigation in which he has been engaged quite as well, it is believed, as any otner gentleman in either House of Congress. His coadjutor, General Robinson, is also a gentleman of clear, discriminating mind, indefatigable in his application to business, of unblemished honor, and well qualified for the service which has been allotted to Sim. If there were any thing wrong or improper,

it could not have escaped the scrutiny oi iiue gentlemen. Their high character is a pledge tor their faithfulness. Whatever may bo the momentary influence of party feeling upon the minds of any portion of the public, we confidently venture theasserw non will miestion the ability, the integ-

The writer of this, passing without further notice from acts of a more general character and importance, wishes to notice a few others, which he con

siders highly creditable to the State, from a cursory

perusal of iho statute recently deposited in the clerk's office; and first, though not least in consequence, is tho act giving to each and every county in the State tho right to select a student in tho Indiana College, whoso tuition shall be gratis. The boards doing county business make the selection. The object of this act is evidently to give to each county, qalificd instructors of youth. Competent schoolmasters aro absolutely necessary in every community, and legislation upon subjects connected

with education is required by tho constitution of Indiana, in common with that ofall tho new states.

VlSltCa on Uie uepauuicun "j j j - - Such is the clear testimony of this report, and such will be the firm conviction of every dispassionate mincl This report accounts satisfactorily for the deficit in the finances of the Department. It shows that the yearly income was deficient before the present incumbent came into office that a diminution of its funds had commenced more than a year before and w w had declined, at the time of his taking pos

session of the Department, about $100,000; and that the fallm" off continued from its beginning, m 1&7, or early Tn 1823, to the. close of the last year. It

Ehows that the dcDt oi me j;epunuiui.i, available means, is about $300,000, which debt rests on the credit of the Department, and not of the Treasury that the Postmaster General, by an illusory system which had ever prevailed of accounting for "the expenses of the Department, had not known its real condition in time to prevent tho embarrassment; but so soon as tho cause was disclosed, the ; corrective was applied. It ehows the improvements which the present Postmaster General has made in his system of accountability, and the security of the funds of the Department. It also recommends a more perfect organization of the Department by subofficers holding their appointment .romthe Executive and Senate, as in the other Departments; and assigns as the reason why this has not been done at an earlier day, that the Department was small m that the rapidity of its growth

has irone before the proper action of Congress, but

that action should be no longer delayea.

same practice seems to have been continued by tne present Postmaster General. The counter report states "that upon a full investigation of this account, pmrv itnm mnst.itutinor it was found to be accompa

nied by its appropriate voucher, and the items themselves appeared chierly to be such as had been ordinarily, under former administrations, paid for by the Postmaster at New York, and credited to him at the Department, as in this instance." The expenses for printing, in all cases where that printing is performed by friends of the administration, seem to have been the subject of special mqui-

ry by the committee. The result, However, is, tnai such accounts are fairly kept, properly adjudicated, nnrl thntthfw n nrion re( tn embrace no articles or

work which had not been purchased and executed; and that from all the information they were able to collect, the prices paid were reasonable. The whole report of these two gentlemen, constituting a minority of the committee, appears to be candid, dispassionate, and clear. It shows great ability and laborious investigation. It exhibits the Department in its true light, It carries with it demonstrative marks of correctness, and is alike creditable to its authors, and to the Department. Globe.

each route, and the number of trips in a aay, a eew, or a year. From these books, the exact length ot post roads is ascertained to have been, in 183.., 104,467 miles in 1833, it is ascertained to have been 119,916 miles showing that the law of 1832, oQtuMishincr new nost routes, added 15,449 miles to

the length of post roads, more than one-seventh part of all the post roads, in the United States, prior to that time. From these books it is also ascertained, that the annual transportation of the mail in 1S32, was 23,632,320. This is a little more than what the Postmaster General reported at that time; and the incorrectness, and evident falsity of that statement of the majority, taken from the iepoTt of the Bradleys, is clearly demonstrated. It appears that the majority of the committee went into an investigation of the private concerns

of the officers of the Department, consuiuuu- u uu -selves a secret inquisition, searching into the details of individual transactions and engagements, evidently for the purpose of drawing unfavorable inferences to make a false impression upon the public

.mind, without even giving the idiviuuais conceriwu information of their doings or designs. Their lirst inquiry seems to have been directed against the Postmaster General. There was an insinuation, that he had received pecuniary relief from a person, or persons, who were mail contractors. The counter report shows, that a friend of the Postmaster General had endorsed, or in some way become security for him; that this friend had borrowed money from another friend to meet the claim with promptness; that this other friend happened to be a mail contractor; but that the whole transaction was without even the knowledge of the Postmaster General, but that the money borrowed was repaid, and the claim cancelled, without any reference to official relations, and by a mutual friend who had no official relations with either of them.

Give us the pre-emption bill once in two years the West wants nothing more for he is a poor dog that cannot, by laboring on our roads or canals, raise 50 dollars to pay for forty acres of land ; and when a man owns forty acres of land, and owes no debts he is as independent as a prince. The pre-emption bill had been so long before Congres3,and the attempt's made to amend it endangered its passage, and alarmed its best friends. The people of the new States are largely indebted to the talent, energy, and industry, of the Hon. C. C. Clay, of Alabama, for his zcalou3 and efficient support of this important measure. To General

Another step has bee n taken to increase tho qualification of schoolmasters, by requiring the circuit court of each county to appoint tiiree suitable persons as thoir examiners, who certify under oath as to tho qualification of each applicant. By an act to regulate the modo of doing county business, it will bo seen that in some counties tho

whole business has been transferred from the board

of Commissioners to a Board of Justices. This was formerly tho universal modo in our State. I am much pleased to see the execution law so amended, that tho execution defendant may claim as exempt from execution, in addition to the piesent articles allowed him, one other bed and bedding, and six sheep and tho wool thereon. This extension of privilege will operate in a very beneficial manner upon the poor, aud should bo regarded

as an act of justice and clemency, because they are

the least able to protect themselves from the forco

of oppressive laws. There is no enactment with which I am better pleased, than that giving mechajiics a lien upon buildings; by which any person who performs labor or furnishes materials for tho construction or repair of any building, within any incoiporated

town, or within one halt mile of its limits, suall have a lien upon said building, when the amount due exceeds thirty dollars. That 'the laborer is worthy of his hire' is a maxim of sacred origin and should I be applied in all business transactions of life. Why

the worthy and industrious mechanic, lie who adds beauty to the growth of our towns and villages, should havo so long been denied a lien upon his own labGr, is a matter of surprise when we consider

that a similar law has been adopted by all the stales

without exception.

This evil has been redressed, as by the recent statute, ti e board doing county business, is clothed with sufficient authority for the proper management ofall its concerns, and for tho preservation of perfect order. The power of issuing writs of tie exeat in other cases than allowed under tho old statute, more particularly for the benefit of securities; as likewise the act defining the relative powers of the Circuit,

Probate, and Justices Courts in cases where executors, administrators or guardians are parties, placing the same beyond cavil or doubt, aro important measures, and well calculated fur tho furtherance of justice. In conclusion, let me add, that the acts of 1S31 aro a valuable addition to tho statute books of the State, and aro entitled to the careful perusal of every citizen. JUSTUS.

THE GOLD BILLS. The important bill3, one to raise the value of domestic gold, and the other to raise the value of foreign gold, were received in the Senate yesterday, read twice by unanimous consent, and referred to the committee on Finances. Wc take a pleasure in communicating our opin

members of the Senate, that the bills will pas3 the Senate as they came from tho House. Having reason to confide in this opinion, we communicate it publicly, that all holders of gold, throughout the United Slates, may hold on to tho precious article, till the fate of the bills are actually known. This,

of course, will be in a few days. Tho effect of these bills will bo to raiso goldO and 2-3 percent, on its legal value; but not that much on its marlcct value, which is now two or three per cent, above the legal value.
