HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Speaker Uid before the IIouso a communication from E. F. Lucas, the Superintendent of the Wabash and Erie Canal; which was laid on the table and 500 copies ordered to be printed. Petitions, Ac, were presented by Messrs. Vandeveer, Ting'ey, Hardin, Robinson of D; (an abolition petition nd against the annexation of Texas as unconstitutional,) Legg and McClure. The bill providing for the election by the people of county surveyors, in certain counties, was reported back from the committee on elections, with a recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. The committee were discharged, when a number of other counties were added. Mr. Rose moved t amend, so that no person shall be elected, unless he procures m certificate of qualification from the PiesiJent Judge of the Circuit Court. Mr. Robinson, of C, was in favor, in most instances, of giving elections to the people, but as the amendment contemplated the procuring of a certificate, be considered it would be l etter to let the law stand as it now exists. Mr. Vandeveer opposed the amendment, lie considered it an insult on the intelligence of the people, who he considered full as well qualified as the judges to past on the qualifications of candidates. Mr. Hamhrick favored the amendment and referred to the fact that the clerks of our courts had to procure certificates. Mr. Pomeroy took the same view of the subject, and alio referred to the office of Probate Judge, who bad to procure a certificate. The bill was amended so as to embrace most of the counties in the State; when the bill was ordered to be engrossed. Mr. Wl.ight from a minority of the committee of Way a and Means, in the case of George II. Dunn, made a minority report, in which it is stated, that not a shadow of I roof has been adduced as to the manner in which the loss was sustained that the loss could not have occurred, except through the grossest negligence on the part of the treasurer, which it is presumed, was not the case. They deem it utterly impossible for the enormous amount of more than ten thousand dollars to have been destroyed at the piper mill last winter. However much they may bo .dioposod to commiserate the situation of Mr. Dunn, they cannot consent to any other procedure than that the law shall take its course. The idea seems to them entirely inconsistent, thit the State shou'd wjit until all the treasury notes, canal land scrip, der.., &c, shall bo redeemed, to know whether the eleven thousand dollars deficit was occasioned by the destruction of Treasury notes, at tho paper mill lat winter. All those notes may not be redeem ed for fifty years, and marry of them may be otherwise destroyed. The above report is signed by Meslrs. Wbight, Wright rf Swilzerland and Vandeveer. The biil, in relation to the reception of altered quarter of one per cent treasury notes, was orJeredto be engrossed. Th bill defining the trrm of office of county treasurers to commence firt of September was read a third time and passed.

Chamberlain for 500 copies, at a price notexeeeding $ I per copy; passed to a second reading, Mr. Cell reported a hi. I allowing" further Jim to sppcrjüjrs to werk the roads; read twice,

Mr. Simonson oppesed the hi I, contending that the r ads worked in the spring were more substantial. After some explanation on the sut jct the bill was ordered to be engrossed. Mr. Bell also reported a bill to amend the road law, so that the road tax on real estate shall be woiked out in the road district where said land is siluitr; which was ordered to be engrossed; also, a bill to amend tl c law so that where a road shall not be opened wiihin six years after located shall cease to be so considered; ordered to be engrossrd. Mr. Manville reported a bill changing tho mode of doing county business in ibe county of Browr ; which was read twice and ordered to be engrossed.

Mr. Stophlet repotted a bill to amend the act establishing a State Bank providing that the privilege of isxiiing small notes shall be extend d, after iht expiration of the time allowed; which parsed to a record reading. The vote, on the adoption of the resolution providing for meeting at half past eight ami half past one was recoi, idt-red. and the resolu'ion was laid on the table, so the llou-se will meet as heretofoie. The amendment of the Senate, to the bill of the House for the election of Secretary of Slate and State Librarian, striking out so much as relates to the election of a Librarian was now taken bp. Mr. Bell aaid, that he was in favor of electing a Librarian; but was willing to agree to the amendment, in orJer that a Secretary might be elected. Mr. Tingley was not disposed to yield any thing to the Senate. A Librarian was an important officer having a large amount of property under his control. He could see no reason why the Executive should have the appointment of this officer, that he might lest.iw the office on some favorite. He therefore moved to disagree to the amendment ef ihc Senate. Mr. Simonson refeired to the action of the two Houses, on a similar bill, last winter. He contet.ded, that the Librarian should be the personal friend of the Executive. He could see no danger in suffering the appointment to remain in the hands of the Governor. He had preferred, heretofore, as his votes wonfd show last winter, that the Secretary should perform the du'iea of Librarian. Mr. Tingley was opposed to surrendering the appointing power into the hands of the Governor. We might jut aa well, said he, surrender all power into his hands to appoint all the officers i f the State. Mr. Robinson of D., favored concurring in the amendment of the Senate. He thought, if the I'ill were sent back to the Senate, without concurring in the amendment, we would not hate the power to elect either of these officers this winter, lie was in favor of petting all he could. Mr. Blakemore said, he was determined to do right, and let the responsibility fall where it belongs. He was opposed to giving the Governor this patronage. It was in consonance with that system of progressive Democracy which some gentlemen are so much in favor of. He conterded that there were as many reasons for the appointment of one officer as for another. He proposed that the House should refuse to concur, and let the Senata take the responsibility. Mr. Gregory raised a Constitutional question the Constitution expressly providing, that the Secretary of State shall be elected by a joint ballot vote of the two Houses. The Governor has no power to appoint a Secretary of S'ate. Last year the office of Librarian was considered one of minor importance, am! that nothing would suflfer by leaving the sppointment in the hands of the Governor. Mr Wright tf Switzerland noticed the course rf the gentleman from Cass, (Mr Blakemore.) who said he would not cuhtnit to the dictation of tho Senate. .If a course of this kind be adopted, -what would be the consequence! The Senate is an independent body and have eq ial rights with this House, and shall we say that we will not submit to the dictation of the Senat! A spirit of this kind, if carried cut, would tie up the hands of the Legislature altogether, and prevent all leg'slation, Mr Bell moved to agree to ihe amendment, with an amendment, providing that all that part of said amendment which provides for the appointing power of the Governor shall be stricken out. Mr Clay pool said, that when it was necessary to draw the line, he was always on hand; but, on this occasion be considered it too small game; he thought there would be no inconsistency in refusing to agree to the amendment of the Senate. If the Senate did not recede, then wc could concur. Mr Hoggatt moved the previous question, which being sustained, was put, to-wi:: Will the House agree to the amendment of the Senate! It was decided in tho affirmativ; ayes 47, noes 43 nearly a party vote. The bill to provide for the distribution of tho Bank-tax and Saline funds to the several counties was read twice and referred to the committee on education. The bill of the Senate to locate a State road in Randolph and Jay was reid a third time and passed. On motion the House adjourned. AFTERNOÖN SESSION.

I ' The bill making certain offences cognizable by justices of the peace, was reported back from the judiciary committee ,11111111111111 f W. IL TT,, WIILUI ICU I II. Mr Robinson, of Decatur, "moved to amend, so as to give tae Circuit Court concurrent jurisdiction. A discussion here sprung up, in the course of which. Mr Robinson, of Carroll, who reported the bill, gave his views, at some length, in support of giving justices exclusive jurisdiction in trivial offences. He cave a hislorv of numerous cases, where individuals have been dragged inlA nor Pniirl fin.l f,ne. .r.l rn.t. .t.oI.,1 In . amount, without any corresponding benefit to the country. He would continue to support the bill, if the amendment were adopted ; but would greatly prefer that justices should exclusively settle these tr.tling offences, that have heretofore frequently been brought before the Courts through malice or ill-will. The discussion was continued by Messrs Harclrigg, Robinson of Decatur, Rich, and Vandeveer. Mr Stopblet said, a sense of duty compe lled him to rote against ihe bill in tot. His experience, as a justice of the peace, taught him that such jurisdiction was inadequate to the suppression of vice and crime. The adaption of the bill would corrupt the morals of the country in a great degree, &c. He said, that in every doggery you would find the domino, the dice, and the card table men would be' come black-legs, and boys would anty up their dimes at poker, and play forfeits on the bead of a whiskey barrel! He said he spoke from experience, He bad leen a poker player, and he believed he could beat any man at that game now on this floor. Cries of good! agreed! I believe it, &.C., &.C, Mr S. continued, and entered into a lengthy argument to prove, that the jurisdiction of grand juries was the only remedy, in all criminal cases. Mr Smith was in favor of the bill. He said, that it was wholly impossible to punish gambling under any law that could be formed. They would come to-day, aud lly from justice lo-morrow. Mr Vandeveer said, that the gentleman from Allen, Mr Stophlet, was about to furnikh this house with a history of his fife. A few dijs since he informed us that he was once a Probate Judge. Now, he says, he has been a juslice of the peace ; and further, that he has been a gambler ai d speaks from experience on this subject. Mr V, continued and said, that for his part he knew nothing about gambling by experience. Mr Stophlet replied that he was willing to confess his sins, as became a ptnitent man. He thought Mr V. was illy quahfit d to act judiciously opon this bid. He w as surprised to beai that the county rf Orange was so very moral. Mr S. spoke of h:s own constituents about ibis mat ter, and he knew these evils did exist in his county, and he was anxious to remedy them. He was in favor of wholesome legislation. Mr S. paid bis respects to Mr Smith of Spencer Mr Huckaby was opposed (o that amendment, lie could not vote to give such exclutive jurisdiction for fear that enormous crimes would not meet with adequate punishment. The Circuit Court and justices shou'd, in his opinion, have concurrent jurisdiction. He concluded by declaring his entire opposition to the bill a:.d the amendment. Mr. Whight moved to lay the motion to commit on the table ; whereupon Mr Sullivan moved to Uy the whole matter on the table ; which did not prevail, ayes 39, noes CO. Mr Whight moved to recommit with instructions to strikeout all that makes illegal voting cognizable before a justice of the peace.

On motion of Mr. Claypool, the House took up the resolution of the Senate, providing for going into the election of Secretary of State on to-morrow at ten o'clock. Mr Blakemore moved to amend, so as to go into an election at two o'clock this afternoon ; which amendment was Hot adopted. The resolution was then reciprocated. The bill giving persons the privilege of collecting debts, where usurious interest has been charged, in direct violalion of law, being under consideration, Mr Robinson o( Carroll said, that he had hoped that this subject would never have been brought before the Legislature. It was calculated to benefit a few individuals principally from other Slates, who were not of the producing classes ; men who came here, in msny instances, to loan money, for tho express purpose of fleecing; the honest and laboring portion of to nmunity out of iheir hard-earnings. The legislature bad declared these loans forfeited, and be did not wish to legalize them. Here was an amendment, which excepted such cases ss were now in the Courts. He thonght if there was any justice in the one ca?e, there was in the other. Mr Osborn defended ihe bill and said, it was not the intention of the Legislature lo declare the whole amount forfeited, only the interest. Mr. Stapp said, if gentlemen were acquainted with all the evils that will result, in the absence of such a law as the bill contemplates, they would not hesitate to pass iL He then enumerated a number of cases where the old law operates oppressively. Mr Rous-eau moved to lay the whole matter on the table; when, On motion, the House adjourned. ArTERN'OON SESSION. The House resumed the question pending at the last ad journment.

The correspondent of the National Intelligencer from a late official report, gives the most important facta connected with Government monopoly of the tobacco trade : Many particulars of the recent report of the director cf the tobacco adminitralc regie) deserve notice for your readers. The preliminary statements fill seventeen quarto pag-es. Five only of the eighty-six departments of France yield the plant. There are ten royal establishments for the whole quantity, domestic and foreign, manufactured ; of which considerably tho greater part is fureig-n, chiefly American Of forty-live million pounds in leaf, procured by the administration in 141, twenty-six were exctic. About thirty-six millions arc worked up annually ; thirtythree for smoking and snuffing. The mean cost of the leaf to the Government is a frank and nine sous per kilogramme (two pounds;) it sells at nearly six francs. Last year the profit for the treasury was seventy-four millions of francs. The tax is paid without a murmur, saith the report ; it may be regretted that the poorer classes do not spend their earnings on an article more nutritious or useful ; but the State, adds the ofTcial article, has a right to draw as much as possible from the source of revenue, voluntary and easy. Besides three hundred and fifty persons employed in the culture and the offices, and twenty-nine thousand venders licensed and ruled by the Government, there are five thousand one hundred operatives in the factories. They are settled about each establishment; subjected to a strict discipline, well paid, and well treated in every respect ; the children, averaging four hundred, receive religious instruction and elementary education. A large quantity of tobacco must be laid up for years to give the best product, and answer the constantly growing demand. The proper amount in store should be of value nearhfifty millions of francs, which the national treasury alone could cover. The administration hag undertaken the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes to supersede those of Havana and .Manilla. A class of youth educated at the Polytechnic school is draughted for superintendence or agency in all the processes cf the establishments. Science and art are combined, so that the French product may obtain and deserve the highest repute. The process for the cigarettes is described. The strictness or exigency of the French regie is stated to be so well understood in America with regard lo quality, that, when the tobaccoes there, after public and official inspection, are classed, the first and dearest qualities are always designated "French tobaccoes." The plant, observes the report, has become a necessary of life in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, and Ureal Britain ; it is no longer a mere habit or fashion, any more than tea in England. The consumption of it must, therefore, be ever on the increase : its great and rapid advance in France proves the general allegation. The tobacco manufacture is found to be a' healthy employment: phthisical cases are extremely rare in the French establishments ; they are sometimes cured by the atmosphere. In other branches of industry, consumption carries off onefourth of the laborers; it is more destructive than the plague, or the worst of epidemics. The Government meditates the extension of the tobacco culture in France; the districts that afford the best quality are cited. A century and a half ago, the province of Guyenne was renowned for its leaf ; the culture is to be pursued and specially favored in Corsica and Algeria, where the growth may be rendered excellent, and perfectly adapted to the French manufacture ; agents have been sent thither to superintend the culture and crop ; a supply is expected that will cover the annual deficit of the French growth. The exclusive, rigidly maintained and enforced right to buy a necessary of life to the amount of so many millions of dollars, for a population of thirtyfour millions, cannot but involve oppression and malpractice. The profits of the Government excessive in themselves imply a general wrong. The regie is charged with purchasing inferior material, compelling consumers to atwwrb the 'old stuffs" before the new contents cf the stores are let out, and employing other expedients of gain which exclusive posver, and certain impunity, and the "one interest" of tK tr?aeury almost necessarily induce. It is argued" that free competition in the purchase , and manufacture would assure cheaper and better product?, and might ere long yield a larger revenue to the Government. Yourtobaeco growers have not fair play in the European markets, and something may be dune for them where they suffer by tariffs alone; tut the reasonings and dispositions of the ministers and Chambers in France preclude all expectation of the relinquishment, or any important modification of the monopoly. More Tamc Facts. -The Concord (X. II.) Tatriot contains the fallowing: 14 Notice was given to the House of Keprcsenta tives yesterday, by a member from Manchester, that he should introduce the application of the great Jlraoskeag corporation for permission to increase their capital stock to the extent of focr iirxDKED thousand COLLARS." This is a pertinent illustration cf the ruin which tho succ2ss tf Mr. Polk is likely to work among the ubi stantial manufactures of the country. How many more establishments are to be ruined in the earn? way w-e do not know.
