Indiana legislature. - On Wednesday, in the House of Representatives, Mr. Wallace presented the petition of C. P. J Arion and others, for an extension of the corporation of the town of Madison, also a remonstrance of John Paul and others against the same; which were referred to a select committee of Messrs. Wallace, Marshall and Vawter. Mr. Liston presented a petition for a new county south of Laportc; which was laid on the table. -Mr. Ilinnsmin presented two memorials of the citizens of Boone and adjoining counties, protesting against a location of lha Indianapolis and Laftyettc Rail Road, through Crawfordsville and Dinville, as a condition of the patronage of the State, and asking its direct location through Lebanon; which was read and laid on the table. The bill to provide for the relocation of the county sat of Drborn and for other purposes, after f several fruitless attempts to amend, was read a third time and passed. Mr. Vawter from the committee on roads, made several reports on matters referred to said committee, among3t others a lengthy report on the subject of four several meIlionais mi i-ii.muu who IJIC OiilCMI C0T1duct of the Commissioner of the Michigan Road; j

wmcn rcpon, auer entering into a detail ot thejous question called by its enemies, was ordered to

charges, recommended for adoption, a resolution. "that legislation, upon the memorals preferring charges againsi Wm. Polk, Commissioner of the Michigan Road, is at this time, inexpedient;' which was concurred in by the House. The whole day was principally occupied in the introduction of local business a great amount of which was acted upon by the House. On yesterday, the House resumed the ordinary

business of tho session. Mr. Crmr.? from the committee on ways and means made a detailed report, on the state of the finances; which was or dered to bo printed. He ateo reported the specific appropriation bill, which was twice read and committed. The bill lo provide for the further prosecution of the Wabash and Erie canal, was laken up, when tho amendment by Mr. Kilgore was further amended, so as to provide for the survey of a rail or turnpike road from Terre-IIaute to Vincennes. The question was taken on Mr. Kil- . gore's amendment, and decided in the affirmative, ayes 53, noes 22. Mr. Eva?s moved to amened - the bill, so as to provide for the location of the canal from the mouth of Tippecanoe to Lafayette; which motion did not prevail. A motion was then made, providing for an appropriation of 100,000 for the commencement of the White water canal; which motion was decided in the negative, nyes 28, noes 4G. On motion of Mr. Bryan, an amendment was adopted, to. provide for the completion cf the survey of the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis rail road, by a vote of ayes 33, noes 33. Several other amendments were offered, when Mr. Evans called for the previous question, when a motion was made lo lay the bill upon tho table; which motion was decided in the negative, ayes 67, noes 7. The previous question was sustained by a considerably majority. The question was then taken on engrossing the bill arid amendments for a third reading; which was determined in the affirmative by a vote ofayt 51, noes 111. On motion of Mr. Wallas? the rules were dirr.ansed with, and

JLhe bill was read a third time and pissed, ayes 52, noes 23, and the Senate were ordered to he in- . formed thereof. Thus, it will be perceived, that a large majority of the House of Representatives have united, in preparatory arrangements for a general system of internal improvements. Should the amendments of the House find favor with tbe Senate, much valuable information will be laid before the next Legislature. A large proportion of the State is provided with surveys, and we are happy to see an indication, on the countenances of members, to close this session with the utmost harmony and good feeling. We trust that ihe labors of the present session will be crowned with the most . abundant success. The remnants of any feeling that may have been engendered in the warmth of difcussion, we expect to see scattered to the winds. The next Legislature will be prepared to act advisedly, and the people will be alive to their true . interests, during the vacation. Ind. Democrat, Jan. 30. MR. KILGOHE S AMENDMENT.

Sec. Tho Governor is hereby author zed and directed to appoint some suitable person, as a commissioner, for the purpose of receiving releases along the line of the White Water canal ; and the said commissioner shall, before the next session of the Legislature, receive from all owners of property, through which said canal may pass, on either side of the river, should any change be rnndo in the line, who may be willing to execute the sama releases of the right of way and of all damages, to such property, by the construction of said canal, when executed by any owner qf property, lo be affected by said canal, and attested and certified by said commissioner, shall forever be a bar to any claim for damages, by any such person; vrhich said releases shall be filed by the said commissioner, in the office of the Secretary of State, previous to the next session of ihe Legislature.

On motion of Mr. Evans, said amendment was mended by inserting before the last section thereof the following:

"Sbc. The Canal Commissioners shall caiia. lo be made, as soon as practicable a survey and estimate of the cost of constiuclion of a continuation of the Wabash and Erie Canal from Lafayette to Terre Haute, a detailed report of which survey shall be laid before the next General Assembly, us early in the session as possible." On motion of Mr. Newman, the said amendment was further amended, by inserting in the clause having relation to the White Water canal, the following: "and also to take releases and conveyances of suitable timber, stone and other materials, for the construction of said canal.''

On yesterday, in the House of Representatives, the bill providing for a loan of $31)0,000 for the improvement of roads, and pledging the three per cent, fund for the payment thereof, after being in committee of the whole, and amendments adopted, providing for the disposition of the simo, in the several counties; incases by appropriating the money on different roads, by leaving the expenditure discretionary with the boards doing counly business; and, in others, for funding the same to be loaned at not exceeding 10 per cent, interest under the sunerintendence of the county authorities the bill, under the operation of the previbe engrossed for a third reading, by a vote of ayes 47, noes 22. Ind. Democrat ',' Feb. 3. 232 Qcngress ..21 Session. In Senate Jan. 21. Ths following resolutions were submitted by Mr. Hendricks: Jlcsolccd, Thai the Cornmitte on Ro?dsTnd Ca nals be instructed to inquire into the rxnediencv of authorizing the several rail-road conmanies chartered by the Slate of Indiana, to construct roads from the Ohio river in the interior of the Slate, to use tho timber of the public binds in the construe.--tion of their respective works; and alio, to inquire into the r-xpediency of making grants of the public land for the location of such rontk, and to aid the companies in making them wherever the sune may pass over any unsold lands of the United Stales. Agreed to. Resolved, That the Committee on thc Judiciary he instructed to inquire into the expediency of fixing by law, the time of commencement and close of every succeeding session of Congress. Agreed to next day. Jan. 22. Mr. Webster, from thc Committee on Finance, to which thc same had been' referred, reported tho bill from the House of Representatives making appropriations for the Indian Department for the year 1835. Also, the bill making appropriations for the support of the army for the year 1835. Mr. Webster moved that the benate proceed to the consideration of these bills, which was agreed to, and thc first-named was then considered as in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Hendricks objected to a clause in the bill appropriating $81,300 for the pay of one hundred and six supernumerary Lieutenants, graduates of the Military Academy, and asked some explanation relative to this item from ths Chairman of the Finance Committee. Mr. Webster said he thought there was no ap propriation in the bill but what was authorized by existing laws. He supposed these supernumeraries were attached to the army. Mr. Wriciit suggested that the item was in the bill because these Lieutenants were attached to the army and ready for duty. Mr. Wtebster said he would not press tho bill at this time, unless gentlemen were satisfied of the correctness of it. On his motion, the bill was then laid on the table. Jan. 23. On motion of Mr. Wtebster, the Senate then resumed the consideration of tho army appropriation bill, as in Committee of the Wrhole. Mr. Webster said, that an objection had been urged yesterday by the honorable member from Indiana (Mr. Hendricks) against the item of appro priation lo pay certain supernumerary Lieutenants. He (Mr. W.)then s:iid, that he thought the provision was only in fulfilment of the exigency of the existing laws. Mr. W. here referred to the act of 1S12, to show that when cadets were not attached they were lo be provided for. That there were one hundred and six specified in the bill, which was a less number lhan was authorized by the law alluded to. Mr. Hendricks said, he did not consider the net of 1812 as having any thing to do with the military academy. The provisions of that law were cer tainly as the gentleman from Massachusetts represented them to be, but he was unable to reconcile them with subsequent laws. The act of 2d March, 1S21, to reduce and fix the military pence establishment, provided for the discharge of all supernumerary ofiicers. He would not, however, persist in his opposition to the bill, but objected to the provision alluded to, and thought it ought to b inquired into. After some further conversation between Mr. Webster and Mr. Hendricks, the bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, house of representatives Jan. 22. On motion of Mr. Kixnari, Resolved, That the Committee on Private Land I Claims be instructed to inquire into the expediency j of allowing William Bowman, of Morgan county, I Indiana, to relinquish lo the United States crtain lands erroneously entered at the Land Office at Crawfordsville, and to enter certain other lands in lieu thereof, as shown by his petition and the pnpera on file in tho ofiice of the Commissioner of the General Land Office. Tho following resolution, heretofore offered bv Mr. Joii?,sc:n of Ky., was taken up : Resolved, That the Committee on Contingent Expenses of the House be directed to audit the accounts of the members of the committee unpointed by the House of Representatives on the UOUi day June last, for investigating the condition and proceedings of the post ofiice department, at thorite of compensation paid to the committee for preparing a code of laws for the District of Columbia, of which Philip Doddrige, Esq. was Chairman, viz. eight dollars per day during the recess, without any other allowance. When the resolution was bst before the House, the following amendment was proposed by Mr. Manx, of N. York: Strike out all after the word resolved, and insert, "That the Committee on Accounts of this House be directed to audit the accounts of the members of the committee appointed by this House on the 2Cih day of June last, for investigating the condition and proceedings of the Post Ofiice Department, and allow each member of such committee at the rate of eight dollars per day, (including a reasonable time for their travelling respectively to the Seat of Government,) during the time they have actually been engaged at the Post Office Department, up to the commencement of the present session." To which latter proposition Mr. Cillet moved the following amendment:

"Atd that those who cama to Washington on said business, and returned home before the commercmnent of the present session of Congress, be allowed (their extra travel and their per diem allowance while attending on said committee, and no more." Mr. Lvxe said he had been rurpriscd to hear a difference of opinion expressed, by honorable members of the House, upon the subject of compensating the committees appointed at the last session, to investigate the Post Off' so Department in the recess of Congress.

Thai to his mind a plainer proposition could not be presented to the human understanding for de cision. The committee are members of this House, as much as they were appointed to perform duties properly belonging to this House; as such will be their report; and ns such ought to be their pay. Tiii admitted, and ihe question is determined. Suppose Congress Ind adjourned to meet in October. The travqj and the paj would have been the simc, except the per diem from October to tbe 1st Monday in December. Will any gentleman attempt to distinguish th one Horn the other. 1 he committee convened in Octr Vrand continu'jd their labors until the meeting cf Congress. To pay them .S per day from the time they re spectively entered upon the duties csinned them, to the first Monday in December, is to pay them rs members of Congress all thy have a right to expect, all they drser"1, and all this House has the power under the law to allow. Thc members of this committee, like every other member of this House, received their travelling pay to and from this capital before or at the close of the last session. They will now, if not already done, draw their pay n record time. And is there an honorable gentitrmn on this .floor, who really believes that members of this committee, will hava necessarily travelled the road to :rul from their respective places of residence more than four times. If not, for this they have or will receive, eiqht dollars for every twenty milt s; topiy them more, w.-.rdd be to pay them for travelling expenses never incurred; to pay them other than for fvery d ly they have devoted to the public interest as members of the committee, would be to pay them f..r services never rendered. That his honorable friend upon the right, from t .1 r-iTi ii il it ! iveniucKy, ioi. jonnson,) nan saiti, ne woutn pay thc committee from the close of the last to the commencement of the present srssion. That hist constituents wei'" i'litlUgcnt, patriotic, and bold, and would sustain hiro in rewarding the public servants generously. Mr. L. said while he fully acquiesced in the praises hi3 friend from Ky. (Col Johnson,) hud been pleased to bestow upon his constituents, he felt justified in claiming for himself the honor of representing a People equally intelligent, patriotic, and bold, and at the same timo more enterprising and industrious. Tint while he had no doubt they would sustain him in paying a just and adequate compensation to every public servant, he should consider he was paying a poor compliment to their inieingence and patriotism, could he entertain, much less express the belief they would, or ought to sustain him, should he vote for paying any one in Or OUt of this Hoiisn fnr lrsvplllnrr nvnuncnc nov.

Mr. Max of X. York, wns willing to accept the preposition of the gentleman from Indiana. The amendments proposed by Messrs. Mann and Gillet, were negatived. The question recurring upon Mr. Lanks amend ment, Mr. Parker moved to amend it by ridding "the usual allowance of mileage to Washington City." Mr. P ARKEit vas of opinion that the members of this committee should receive something beyond the ordinary allowance. They were compelled to leave their business at home unattended to. There were members residing at a distance, particularly in liiesoian, who, as a matter ot choice, remained in this neighborhood, and who did not go home at the cl oso of the session, who wore nevertheless paid their mileage. The Post Ofiice Committee were here in die recoes by thc direction of the House. Their duties were arduous, and tie hoped that the amendment submitted by him would prevail. Mr. Lase suggested that the members of this committee, as a matter of course, would receive the usual allowance for mileage. He was opposed to giving ihcm double the amount provided by law. Mr. Parker's amendment was disagreed to. Mr. Beaumont, moved to amend iUa amendment of Mr. Lanf, by adding the words "and no move," which was negatived. The amendment submitted by Mr. Lane, v.-sp then concurred in, and thus amended, the resolution was agreed to. Another Triumvh.

From tli Ccairfoicill lUcord. A publication in the Record of the 3d ins?., purporting to bo an "Extract from the Report of JAMES B. GARDINER, Examiner," ,Vc. attracted my attention at the time of publication ; but from the pressure of peculiar circumstances, 1 ws prevented from noticing it in last week's piper.

i ne object of Una extraordinary document, eo far as it rotates to myself, appears to be, to produce the conviction in tho mind of the Commissioner (f the General Lnnd office, to whom the repoit is made, that J bad, at different times, purebred and "sold several largo shocks of oods. and conce-led I the proceeds, blether with mnrli ol.ir ntmonr !

This chargM. conveyed the same lo the agent of thc 1'ni. so fir as it relates to myself, is uttcily destiiulc of i lC Stat i. truth; and I believe is equally unfounded as ii re- I proKs ?, at romo future period, to I it before gards my securities. j ,JlR tle fictjaml circninslinccs which led to To establish the above position, Mr. Gardiner j 'def.dcalioiiM when, however unforluinte my undertakes to give a detail of facts in relation to! arrangetm-rna may have been, 1 hc ne doubt mr several transactions, which I will notice in thc or-1 mn,iv4'H a,,J i"'"'4" will meet the approbation oV der in winch thev occur in his narrative.

first, of ths poods sold to Vance Wilson. Air. Gardiner states that uhen I came lo this place I! orougm on a Fiore 1 . worth 12,000, which I afterW,Ln ,. ,,,, ,r wards sold to unco oj, dson, and that t;;e store was kept in the name of my sister. Tho first part

of this statement is but partially true, the latter to-, occupied in the consideration of the bill htroi i tally false. The goods sold lo Varee & Wilson I by Mr. WeUter poposing to iiiuti.nif our merdid not amount to $,000; and as both partners ; chants for spoliations upon their commerce by the were in lown, the exact amount could have Ik t n French, prior to the year lJ-00, but u it' -out having

esuy ascertained if Mr. G. Ind made the inquiry. The allegation that the s?orc was kept in tho name of my sister, is a fiction of Mr. Gardim r's own brain, as lie couhl have rev -ivrd uo s i i r i vrd no s .::!! inbtrmatton; and t , ' m.uble to cnq.ore, any il he had taken liie pectable citizen of thi place could have given him more correct inform-ticn. dly. "Jho goods fold to Milroy Miiicr amounted to 12,000 dollars, and were ddivrrn! without inventory.'1 Here, again, Mr. Gardiner 9 has nearly doubled the amount- the goods falling short of $7,000. The public, however, would lie I at a loss to know why a salo fo Milroy & Mill . .. er was censurable, but for thc insinuation that the proceeds were kepi back and concealed from the Government officers. This statement is unblnshingly made, and Mr. Gardiner has the hardihood to reler to . . . m i iir. Kamev in sunnort of it: when Mr. . Gardiner did know, at the time, or was further in-1 formed by Mr. R imey, that tho notes u.kcn for said goods were transferred to Gen. Howard, the Gov - ernmeni aeent. Tho snbbim..! n-rtlRp.iin ,S Mr Ramey will show what credit is to be rjven to the statement of Mr. Gardiner: "Havingseen J:is. B. Gardlnei'a . clr,4 ... I htlxl ,?,t.!,fe gC.d3 XrAnsd h- I'.

I. 1 vjh.vji,,.. , o Miuint in, uaoiuiy : i o il wic lunus lor the Robroy establishment were drawn from the Receiver's Office. So fir is this from being correct, that the f.smte were raised in Madison and Louis ville on real estate, and bills drawn on New Ori .i . . . . J leans, the proceed? nf which were deposited to ihe credit of the Treasury of thc United States, in ibejjank u. S. at Louisvjllc, Ivy., to the amount of upward of $:4,0u0 before they were drawn from the Ofiice. Mr. Gardiner is peculiarly unfortunate in bis reference to witnesses. Mr.' Ramev's certificate shows how fairly he has represented him; nnd Col. Pollock authorizes mo to say he gave no such opinion as that attributed to him by Mr. G., and that the only opinion he did give, was in answer to the interrogatories of Mr. Gardiner respecting the. credibility of certain gentlemen named at the time. Thc allegation that Gen. Milroy stated that he knew as far back as 1820, that I was iisino the nubJ lie money, I believe, is altogether tho invention of ; Mr. Gardiner for the following reasons: 1st, It is not true. 'Jd. If Gen. Milroy h;id suspected any thing of the kind, he would have been the first to have communicated it to m.-. and asked 1 of the error. It is also slated that I was in tho Con CO 1 habit of borrowing inomv from Gen. D- ike io com - i C . ! plete my depositee. Justice to ibt officer as well private debts; and th-j im.-.ey scr.t from this place, after my removal, was to pay a sum borrowed for mat purpose, en my return horn Louisville, afu'r 1 had mado my last depcs'le. Mr. Gardiner further says in his concluding par agraph, "and I feel bound to express to you my de - cided opinion that the property already taken will waste and lessen rather than increase in value." This property consisted entirely of notes and ohli-! gallons Tor money, and real estate at this place and i near the canal route; ilmust, therefore, be to the ! latler that the depreciation is to apply.-llt will not i,rt ;m. ii . . .i be d.fhcnlt to appreciate he conscientious regard to truth of an individual, who nfier travelling from ; Fort Wayne to this place, thence by Indianapolis to I . . ! .i . i i:i . . . . .1 givi.-n me iieimeraie opinion uiai properly in the upper Wabash country is depreciating. But Mr. Gardiner's sacred regard for truth is still more strikingly displayed in the following statement: "During the monthsof January and Febru ary last, while the sales were suspended, II. II Milroy received jwoninderKJsilefrom persons wish - ing to purchase lands to the amount oi' 10,000 dol - lars;' "when the office was i,gain opened on the 4th of March, 10,OGOdollarg of this amount was paid in scrip, as op-

Par by tho rcceiwV hooks.' Tbe books hhow that tho amount of scrip paid in by II. 11. Mil roy was about 3,500, a lutlc im.ro than tt:c third the amount stated by Mr. Gardiner. Now, ifrr nrd evidence, in pigging through the alembic of Mr. Gardiner can l rxpanded to almost three limes it ucturil magnitude, is not tit allsut prising if the nodi,
