Mr. Hodge said that the Senator from Knox had se cured the passage of a joint resolution prayinjr for im proving the Wabash Rapids, and now wti opposed to aiikmg aid lor any other portion of the Male, and had called it a sectional work.

On yotcrday the bill, in relation to settlement with Mooreiiead, Hall & Co., Whs reported bark to the House, a settlement having been agreed upon, without the intervention of the Legislature. Messrs Robinson of Carroll, Simonson, and Jones of Fountain, were, on motion of Sir Letdie, appointed a committee to take into consideration tlie communication of the Governor and bondholders, referred to, in yesterday's report. . The Spe.-iker laid before the House, a communication firm the Superintendent of the Wabasli and Lrie canal, in relation to pay of officers, dealings in canal scrip, Ac.; which was read ; when MrTingley moved to reTer the communication back to the Superintendent, requesting him to answer the resolution. MrTingley said, that the Superintendent had not given a satisfactory answer, in relation to proceedings on the Western Division of the canal, w here the charge of corruption is pointed. Mr Gregory moved to refer the commttniration to a select committee, of which Mr Tingley shall be chairman. Mr Robinson of Carroll said, he did not understand the English language if a full answer had not been made. In reference to corruption, he called upon the centleman to specify. He denied that any such exist. He defied the gentleman and those who acted with him to bring on their charges. Mr Osborn satJ, lie knew of no improper conduct on tlopart of the superintendent. He had made no charges, but rumor had readied him of improper conduct. He considered the repoit evasive, and he nkcd, if it were an answer to a bill in chancery, would not the gentleman from Carroll sny, it should bo referred back ? Mr Tingley in a speech of considerable length continued to contend that the report wes evasive and nnsatisfaclorv. Mr Gregory said, that no public office bad ever been more dogged than this oflii er. Day after day resolutions of enquiry had been made of him, descending even to his private business, A.c. Mr Jones of Fountain said, that from his peculiar position as a Representative, bn was obliged frequently to trouble the House with remarks in reference to the "Wabash and Erie canal. Tlie Superintendent, than whom there was not a more honorable man in the State, to use the language ot the gentleman from Warren, had been dogged from day to day with resolutions in reference to his piivate transactions, for the pitiful purpose of subserving party. How different was the cao in reference to Mr Blair, the late commissioner ? He was treated as a public officer should be treated. He culled upon gentlemen to prefer their charges, if nny exist. Mr Bradley denied that any thing in relation to parly was connected with the resolution of enquiry. Ho accorded to the Superintendent the strictest veracity. The object of the resolution was to obtain information in relation to contracts that had been abandoned, and their place supplied by a State force, :c. Mr B. in conclusion offered a resolution, that full information be given, in reference to the contracts abandoned by Moorehcad, Hall & Co., &c. Mr Pettit thought this was a stiange method of arriving at information, depending on the veracity of the Superin tendent. Ifthere bus been improper conduct, a commit tee should be appointed to filly investigate tho subject. ' lien the resolution was ollered by the gentleman from t Rush, he considered it a direct insult to the Sunerinten- ' dent, rj perhaps, it was to act in conjunction with anotlu er, offered by the gentleman from Allen, having In con templation a change in the law, in reference to the appointment of Superintendent, lie considered the answer of the Superintendent full and satisfactory. It appeared the object of gentlemen to co the Superintendent out of Hire. Iiis report showed that the otiicers he had em ployed were those of opposite politics to himself. Ihe discussion was continued by Messrs. iingley and Stophlet ( when Mr. imglcy withdrew Ins motion to report back to the uperintetident. Mr. Stophlet moved to refer the whole subject to a se lect committee, with power to send for persons and pa pers. Mr. smith said, it wrs preposterous to think ol send ing for persons and papers, at this late day of the sessioii, he would therefore move to lay the whole matter on the table; winch imiion prevailed, ayes oa, noes 3G.

I he Speaker laid be Hire the House a communication from the Governor, in relation to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, stating that no propositions, other than t hosts from Bloomington had been received; referred to tho committee on education. Mr. Simonson said, on hearing the Journal read this morning, lie was surprised to find himself placed on a committee to which tlie communications from our bond holders had been referred. He had made amotion to lay these resolutions on the table and print; but it failed. Being opposed to the object of the communication he hoped he would be excused from serving on tlie commit tee Mr. Robinson of Carroll, who was appointed chairman of the committee, read a passage from Jefferson's Manual, showing that the committee had been appointed in di rect violation of parliamentary proceeding. 1 he Speaker remarked, that lie appointed gentlemen on the committee, whom be knew to be friendly to the executive. Mr. Simonson remarked, that bis course showed, that ho had opposed all reference of this subject, either lo a standing or select emnmittee. He therefore hoped ho ! was not granted by tho House.

Mr. E. read part of the reported remarks of Mr. Akin on yesterday. Mr. Akin said lhat he understood Mr. Ewing in his speech ol yesterday, as making charges against the Representative from Clay, but he thought the Reporter had misquoted h.m (Mr. A.) in one particular, though unintentionally be presumed. He was under the impression that he did not impute cowardice to the Senator from Knox, and if he had, it was not his intention to do so. He was linder considerable excitement owing to the fact that one of his constituents was. assailed. lie had never taken any notice of any personal attack from the Senator from Knox, but tie felt it a duty to speak in defence of his constituent whenever ihey were assailed, and he should do so in future.

Mr. Akin, from the committee on federal relations, reported a joint resolution in relation to exchanging documents with other States ; read twice and referred to the judiciary committee with instructions. Also, a joint resolution against the assumption of the State debts by the General Government. Some objection was raised to the joint resolution. Mr. Lane said that the Whig nember who objected to it must be behind the times, as it was in the very language of a similar resolution passed by the Whig Legislature of Connecticut. Mr. Defrees was opposed to an unconditional assumption of the State debts, but he was in favor of the plan known as Wm. Cost Johnson's plan. He cared not if the resolution was in the language ot the one passed by the Connecticut legislature, it was no reason whv this Senate should adopt it. He did not consider assumption in accordance with the plan ofl Mr. Johnson as degrading, neither could he imagine in what way it could destroy the sovereignty of States. Was it degrading for Gen. Jackson to recommend the distribution of the surplus revenue ? He thought that democrats would not bring such a charge against the old General. Mr. Davis said that he was surprised that a resolution of tins kind should be ottered at this stage of the session, when there was so much to be done that ought not to be left unGnished. Mr. Akin said that the subject was not referred to the committee on Federal relations until quite recently. That committee took immediate action on the subject, and an i honorable Whiff member made a motion that the com mittee report in accordance with the Connecticut Resolutions, and the report was now before the Senate for its action. He considered assumption unjust ocause u wouiu onerate uneouallv. Henry Clay had convinced him, in bis letters that it was wrong. It was humiliating to contemplate that because Indiana had engaged in speculation .. i . . i f I and the speculations were unproniaoie, mat tne ueuerai Government should assume her debts. Suppose her spec ulations had resulted in areal eain. she would not have divided anv of the nrofits with the General Government. It was true Jackson had recommended a distribution of ihe surplus revenue, and the General was right, as the money was not needed, but at the same time told the peo- . - sa a t pie that the Government sliouia only raise enougn mon ev to defrav the economical expenses. Mr. Ritchey made a few remarks in favor of the reso lution. Mr. Dole offered the followinz amendment. Provided, however, that a distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the dinerent states would be but an act of iustice. and it is not considered by this Le gislature as in any manner connected with tbe assump tion of Slate debts. Mr. Dole said, he was in favor of the principle contain ed in the resolution, but objected to the language, as it mieht and probably would be misconstrued ; he had there- . - f .. . .i- j - . .:.u lore ottered tne amenameni unuer consiaerauon who u hope that it would be adopted ; if it wes not, he should feel constrained to vote against the resolution. .

Mr Herod, from the committee of ways and means, made report in relation tö the finances of ihe State, accompanied by a bill making general appropriations for the year 1845 ; which was twice read and committed lo a committee of the whole House for to-morrow ; also, A bill to raise revenue for State purposes, providing for a tsx of twenty cents on the one hundred dollars and fifty cents poll lax : fourteen ceuts cents to be set apart for the redemption of outstanding treasury notes five cents, together wilh the poll tax, to pay the ordinary expenses of the government ; five mills for a lunatic Asylum; three mills for a deaf and dumb Asy -um, and two mills for tha education of the blind ; which was read twice and committed to a committee of the whole for to-morrow ; also, A bill to prevent the accumulation of interest on treasury notes, &c, providing that quarter of one per cent treasury notes shall be issued lo redeem six per cent treasury notes outstanding, with interest computed, where they may be presented for redemption, not lo exceed two hundred thoussnd dollars in amount. Mr Robinson of Carroll enquired, if the bill he had presented providing for a losn, and which bad been referred to the committee of ways and means, would be reported lo tbe House. Mr Herod answered, lhat it would be reported back this morning. Mr R. of C. contended, that an issue of Treasury notes would be bad policy. He thought the plan contemplated in ihe bill he bad presented, providing for s loan, wou'd be the better policy. Mr Herod said, that the bill he had presented did not contemplate an increa-e in the amount of treasury notes; but only sn exchange for treasury notes outstanding. He said, lhat from the best information the committee had been able to obtain, there would be a sufficient amount of par funds collected to defray the expenses of government. The bill was reed a firi-t ai d second times and committed to a committee of the whole. On motion of Mr bighl, one thousand copies of tke report of the committee of ways and means wire ordered to be printed. Mr Herod also reported back lo the House the bill providing for a loan, etc.. with a recommendation that the bill be laid upon the table ; which was not concurred in. Mr Robinson rf Carroll Iben moved to commit to tha same committee of the whole, to which the other bills, just reported, had been referred. Mr Kich moved to indefinitely postpone the till. Mr Robinson of Carroll said, lhat the bill under consideration did not provide for a loan to redeem treasurynotes, but to defray the ordinary expenses of tbe State. It provided, lhat if a loan cannot be made lhat there shall be an issue of treasury notes. The Bank is largely interested in keeping up the credit of treasury notes, and he bad no doubt, thai rather than have treasury notes issued a loan would be effected. Mr Herod aaid, the committee wished to avoid both loan and an issue of treasury notes, believing there wcold be a sufficient amount of par funds collected to defray tbe current expenses. If the motion to indefinitely postpone was pressed he wsuld support it, Mr Robinson or C. was fearful, by indefinitely postpone ing the bill, that the bands of tbe House would be tied, sat that no action could be had on this subject, during the session. He thought the State should be placed in a condition that would not depend on mere contingencies for means to carry on the State government; hence ihe expediency of the measures contemplated by his bill. Mr Wright of Switzerland contended, tbat unless an exchange of Treasury notes vaa tOectcd, the six percent, treasury notes woutd cease- to, come into tbe treasury, these notes being in the hands of brokers and others who would keep them for tbe sake of the interest, andthefe notes might not be redeemed in ten years. Mr Whight took the same ground, and contended that one quarter of one per cent, treasury notes in his part of the fctate would pay debts st par, and would circulate freely wili but little depreciation, and would be more easily got hold of than the six per cent notes to psy taxes.
