AN ACT supplemental to an act entitled "an act regulating the practice in suits at law," approved January i'9, 1S31. Approved, February 7th, 1835. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That to any special plea of payment, setting forth matter of setoiYas provided in the twenty-sixth section of the act to which this is supplemental, the plaintiff or plaintiffs may
reply as many several matters in fact as he, she or ihey may deem necessary: Provided, however, Th3t a replication of the statute of limitations to any such plea of set-off, shall only operate to prevent a recovery by the defendant or defendants, uf
any access ot the amount of such plea over and above what the plaintiff or plaintiffs may be entitled to in said action. Sec. 2. After or before any issue in fact is joined in a suit at law, any one who is party to the same may withdraw any pleading on his part subsequent to the declaration, and file a demurrer to the next previous pleading of his adversary at any time be
fore trial.
Your committee are unanimous in the belief, therefore, that should said line of canal be constructed in the direction that 3? now contemplated, that the result would not only operate to the serious injury of very many of the enterprising citizens of the western part of this State, individually, but that a still more serious consequence may be relied on the reduction, to u fearful extent, of the rev
enue from the Miami Canal. Such a result, your committee would repeat, will be inevitable, should this line of canal be constructed. It may be proper to remark hero, that some of your committee have had it in their power to become, to some extent, acquainted with the relative situation of the Whitewater valley to the Miami Canal, and of the increased tonnage upon the Miami Canal, by reason of its proximity to said valley.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That whenever it shall be made satisfactorily to appear, by the affidavit of some disinterested person, filed during the vacation of the Court, in the Clerk's office of the proper county, that any defendant or defendants to any bill in chancery, or to any petition or libel for divorce, filed in the Clerk's otfice aforesaid, is not a resident of this state, it shall be the duty of the Clerk aforesaid, forthwith to make publication for three successive weeks, in some public newspaper printed weekly in the county where the said bill, petition or l.bel may be filed; and if there be no such newspaper printed in said cenntv. then in ihe

Sec. 2. If such publication shall have been made at least sixty days before the first day of the next following term of the Circuit Court of such county, such further proceedings shall take place, as is con-
tcmpiaiea mine seventh and other sections of the act to which this is an amendment, according to the requirements of justice and equity. Sec. 3. That in any suit in chancery, which may have been, or may be hereafter, taken to the Supreme Court, by appeal or writ oferror, and the decree of the Circuit Court reversed, in whole or in part, and remanded to the Circuit Court with instructions, the complainant in the bill may, at the term of the Circuit Court to which the opinion of the Supreme court may be certified, dismiss his bill without prejudice to bis legal or equitable rights, notwithstanding such instructions the complainant paying all costs. Sec. 4. Where a ground for a suit in chancery ghall exist against a defendant who shall die, before
said engineers or commissioners mhdit find neces
sary to effect and complete the survey and location of the whoh' of said Whitewater Canal. In conformity to which resolutions, it is alleged, that the State of Indiana, by her commissioners and engineers, proceeded to the survey and location of said contemplated canal, commencing at a point on or near the national road, about the distance often or twelve miles west of Richmond, in the said state oflnd ian3, and from thence continuing down the valley of tho west branch of Whitewater, to the town ofConnersville, in said state, and from thence to Erookville, the point of junction of the two branches, to wit: the east and west branches of Whitewater; and from thence to the line dividing Ohio and Indiana, at Harrison, in Hamilton county; at which point last named, said line crosses to the Ohio side, and continues down the valley the distance of about eight miles in the said state of
Oliio, and, it is said, at the distance of about two !
miles from Tlhe state .line, after which said line of canal recresses the line to tiie Indiana side, and is from thence continued to ihe Ohio river, at or near Lawrencebuigh, in the said State of Indiana; making, in its whole length, a distance of about eighty miles.

This privilege is sought for, on the part of Indiana; and her claim thereto, based upon

These considerations your committee deem altogether insufficient to justify this Legislature in granting the privileges thus claimed. In this view of the subject, your committee flatter themselves that they will be sustained by the wisdom of ihe Legislature. It appears that a different result could not be ar
rived at, when it shall have been taken into view, that the head of ihe contemplated Whitewater Canal, is found to be only about the distance of fifty miles from Dayton, at the head of the Miami Canal; and about the same distance from Hamilton, a point on the Miami Canal, at a distance of twentyfive miles from the city of Cincinnati. Connersville, another point on the contemplated Whitewater Canal, is only about the distance of thirty-seven miles from Hamilion. on the said Minma Canal:

committee into possession ot the facts of the matter
referred to. The Legislature of the State of Indiana being impressed with a belief that a canal, in the Whitcwater valley, commencing at or near a point where the national road crosses it, and running to the Ohio river, at Lawrenceburgh, a distance of near eighty miles, was required by the best iaterest of the State, requested of ihe State of Ohio the privilege of making a survey of that part of the line lying in the State of Ohio, with a view to the construction
of the work. The Legislature of the State of
Ohio, at the last session, by a joint resolution, granted to the State of Indiana the privilege re
quested; to which resolution the undersigned re-
constitutional assurance how long we may expect to be permitted to hold them. Are gentlemen for emancipation, then let us meet in the spirit of brothers and settle at once this momentous question; let the coming generation have an opportunity of arranging their fortunes at once. Mr. Chairman, w hat disposition shall be made of our slave population, is a question of grave consideration, and I will not now hazard an opinion upon the subject. But this much I will say if that population is to be perpetually urged as an argument against altering, reforming, or abolishing our government, when experience shall point out its necessity, our country is doubly enslaved; our slaves are slivcs to us, and wo are, because of them,

The Spaniard was obliged to appear and produce tbe horse; ho treated ihe In.ban cs a cheat, affirmed that tbe horse lelonged to him, and
that he had reared it fwin a foal. There were no proofs to tbe contrary, and the judge, perplexed, waa going to send the pleaders out of court, and dismiss the process, when the Indian cried out, 4the hortc is mine and I'll prove it." He immediately stripped off his cloak ar.d threw it over tiio animal's head. "That man being to confident that h reared the horse, command him," said be, addressing tho judge, "to tell which of the two eyes is blind." The Spaniard, in order to seem not to hesitate in tho least, answered immediately, "the rij;ht eye." The Indian uncovered the horse's head; "Ho is neither blind," said he, "of tho right ev nor the lell." The judge, convinced by eo ingenious and rrtrong a proof, adjudged him tho hon?c, and sent tho Sojiu iard to prison.
