Socranut Vtati Pbisow. On our first page will be found a vindication of the Directors of tht institution, (which we fad In the Wabash Express,) against the charges brought by the'committee of the State Senate in their report, which we published last week. We give botttaitk'a of. the story of 'corruption,' Ac, and our readers can dravv their own conelusions. Oliver Tk Jone, Co. Commissioner. Last week, we took occasion to refer to this gentleman, and to -urge Uat lie should, not be again selected a the Republican candidate, fur the "reason, that, ho had violated a solemn pledge, given prwr to his being elected Coramissione r. lie no doubt imagined that - that was a "dead past", and should . be forgotten; but the blessed art of transmitting passingevent ; via "lamp-black and rags," has preserved that important answer that did "supersede the necessity of taking a vote" at that time, and wo reproduce it in all its freshness. The Jail Qneatlon Settled Card from Com ' miasioner O. T. Jonee. Csntevill, Aug. 23, 1866. Editob Tbtbgb am. In reply to your interrogatory of the 25th instant, in ' which yon wish to know if 1 am willing to submit the auestion of building a jail to a rote of the people at the fall election? Now, so tar as that is concerned, I can give you an answer that will supercede the necessity of taking a rote, and the answer is ;bis: That in Tiew of the opposition of the county, to the expenditure of money io that direction until the eoontyi S out of debt, I acquiesce in what 1 beliere to be their wishes at present, and I will say that so far as I am concerned, there shall be nothing spent io that direction until the county ia out of debt. t i ' Respectfully yours, 1 ' ' .,, Oliver T Jonf.8. Wo supposed Commissioner Jones intended to do just as he said he would in the above card, and for the sake of har mony in the party his opponent was withdrawn, and we added the following comment at the tin?, . full y . end or sin g him: . ;y , , ... , . . "All right Mr Jones; but bad you arrived at the conclusion you have now come to, on the 7th of Jr ly last, much ill-feeling might bare been obviated. Mr. - Baldwin could do no more than you promise to do in the a bore card; therefore by his desire do we take bis name from the list and substitute yours." No sooner, however, had Mr. Jones been elected and comfortably seated, than he, together with his coadjutor, Mr. Pierce, commenced taking the initiatory steps towards building the jail, and, to inake his pledge appear less like a "dodge," the aid of the Grand Jury was invoked in order to condemn the old jail as "unsafe," ." 'unhealthy," fcc., and behind that the majority of the Board declared that the old structure could only be repaired by building a new one, and it had become an impossibility to wait for the debt of the county to be liquidated before commencing. The "op position of the county, to the expenditure of money in that , direction," had been mysteriously overcome by the powerful force of a circumstance! Mr. Jones was elected. ,, The jail has been completed, and the county ia not yet out of debt. The building is faultless in all its arrangements it is a model structure; its cost is put down at about 870,000, and is regarded as cheap at that. Admitting all this, the question may be asked why an objection is urged against Mr. Jones being continued in office? For the reason that he has deceived the people who trusted him. That, we think, is sufficient. The splendid edifice at the county seat, had it only cost from "830,000 to $40,OOiV' the estimate of the. architect, would not deface Mr. Jones' pledge. The People of "Old Waj-ne" are satisfied with the mechanical skill on the , jai I; hut they utterly condemn the word making structure that beguiled them into voting for Jones in '66. They will not trust him again. The Nashville Banner of the 17th, says: 'A monstrous hog was brought to the city last evening by a farm er from Taris, Henry county, for exhibition. It is four years old, weighs. one thousand seven hundred and sixty three pounds, i.nd measures eight feet four inches from the snout to the end of the tail, and six feet ten and a half inches around the girth of its body. Tite stock from which this porker was raised . was imported from England, and is called a thorougbred Berkshire Irish grazier, lie stated that from twelve of that breed, received before the war, he has now on hand between six and seven hundred hogs. lie also says that he has a sow on his farm with sixteen pigs, which weighs nine hundred and fifty-six pounds. Among the important movements now going on in the American Churches, the Lay Delegation movement in the Methodist Episcopal Churc'i attracts attention. The Methodist Ep is copal Church, which is the most numerous Protestant body of the country, has thus far been noted for the exclusion of the laity, from the legislative assembly of the Church. ; In June, the whole member ship of the Church, male and . female, will vote on the. question, whether the former policy shall be retained or whether the principle of lay delegations shall be accepted. - We -notice that mass meetings of the friends of the movement begin to be held in various parts of the country.,.-, -, - .,. , : Death of Judge Morrison.

The velocipede has gotten into the highest court in England. A lower court Lad decided that it is unlawful for toll gate authorities to charge toll for a velocipede ; but the company against whom this decision was rendered, mean to carry the case up to the chief tribunal. .The charge of toll was made ui.der the "clause empowering to charge for 'a foot passenger driving a wheelbarrow.' 1 Our readers will observe by the advertisement of our friend Wm.E.

A railroad President, living not a thousand miles from Bridgeport, went into a large jewelry store on Broadway, New York, recently, "and among other things inquired for a watch. He was shown a number of various grades and prices, and finally an extra article was produced that seemed about the thing de sired, and which was worth about $1,200. 'Are you sure they are reliable jme keepers?' asked the President. 'Certainly,' replied the clerk, 'and as a proof of the fact let me add, that two of the conductors upon the . and Railroad (mentioning the road of which the purchaser was President) have theniS Indeed,' said the President, a very good recommendation, but they are too expensive for me!'

The English language must appear fearfully and wonderfully made to a foreigner. One of them, looking at a picture of a number of vessels, said, 'See what a flock of ships.' He was told that a flock of ships'was called a fleet, and that a flet of sheep was called a flock. And it was added, Tor his guidance, in mastering the intricacies of our language, that a flock of girls is called i bevy, tliat a bevy of wolves is called a pack, and a pack of theives is called a gang, and that a gang of angels is called a host, and that a host of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes s called a herd, and a herd of children is called a troop, and a troop of partridges is called a covey, and a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is called a hsrJe, and a horde of rubbish is called a beap, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and a drove of blackguards is called a mob, and a mob of whales is called a school, and a school of worshippers is called a congregation, and a congregation of engineers is called a corps, and a corps of robbers is called a band, and a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd.

5; NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. 's Wasbtnotow, Thursday. March 18. 18fi9. s The President sent no appointments t the Senate to-day, nor waa there any Executive Session on appointments pending. ' , - : The first bill Bigned by our new President was the one renewing the pledge of the Government to the world that our debt should be honestly paid as it was fairly contracted. . It is an auspicious beginning for the new Administration. - Long before Gen. Grant's term of office shall expire, we look to pee the National finances on so sound a basis that men will wonder how a question about the payment of our debt could

evpr have heen raised. Meantime, let us remember the cheering fact Grant's first signature to a bill ot t '"Tigress is to the one to strengthen!! be Public Credit. , The case of Gen. Longstreet, nominated as Surveyor of the Port at New Orleans, was under consi ieration to-day by the Serrate Commerce Committee It is understood that a majority ot the Committee were opposed to his confirmation, not especially because Gen. Longstreet was a leading Rebel during the Rebellion, but on the ground that there are an abundance of men who were loyal to the Government from the breakiug out of the Rebellion to the close, and who ought to be provided for in preference to the class Io which Gen. Longstreet belongs. The Coinmit'ee, however, decided to report his name to the Senate without recommendation, and let that body take such action as they may think proper. , The House Military Committee instructed Gen. Logan to report a bill abolishing the office of Chief of Stan to the ueneral ot the Army. This is done in accordance with the wishes-of Gen. Sherman, who says there is no necessity for such an office The office is now vacant, Gen. Rawlins having resigned. The Committee also agreed to report a bill to prohibit the assignment of those ofHceis on the retired list to duty of any kind. For many years it has been the practi ce, the moment an officer was retired, to assign him to active duty on full pay. Gen. Sherman thinks it is about time to put a stop to this practice, and so recommend to the Committee. The duty to which they are generally assigned belongs to officers in acuve service. . At a caucus of Republican Senators, held on Monday last, an agreement was arrived at which promises a satisfactory solution of the controversy touching the Tenure of-Office law. The modifica tions agreed upon were, that the act ! shall not apply iu anj7 way to members , of the Cabinet, find that the President! shall not be required to make out a case : against persons removed ; in other ' wordc, thntlie maj. during the session '. of the Sunate, propose removals and ap pointmenl3 . at pleasure, and leave the Senate t make such examination as it pleases, while during the vacation hemay suspend and appoint at pleasure, and submit his action to ihe Senate with in twenty days after reassembling. If these proposed changes are made , in the law we presume it will be satis factory to the President, and will gratify the pride of opinion which restrains some Senators from consenting to an entire repeal. . It will relieve the President and heads of Departments from the embarassrnent of the law as it is, and give them full power to suspend incom petent or ; unfaithful officers, without making the President (heir accuser before the Senate. It will also create a sense of responsibility on the part of office holders, that will not exist where a ren oval can not be made without being accompanied by distinct charges of misconduct. We hope to see this compromise meas ure passed at an early day, for the reve nue officers who have connived at whisky frauds, tobacco frauds, and custom house frauds, are Cheating justice every day they remain in office. Jour. Land grant bills are again pouring in to the Senate. Already 80,000,000 acres have been called for by new schemes at the present session of only two weeks ! One road alone asks for forty sections of land and $30,000 subsidy per mile for 1,800 miles ! Terrible Death Bed Scbnk. Men tion has already been made of the terri ble death in Paterson, New Jersey, of Mr. Eckerson. The Paterson Guardian gives the following additional facti : A neighbor who was engaged holding Mr. Eckerson after the symptoms of hydrophobia began to manifest itself, gives a touching incipent of the last scenes jast before his death, while temporarily re lieved from violent spasmodic struggles. Mr. Eckerson desired to see his wife be fore his death. Requiring from four to six men to hold him all the time, of course it was not prudent, his wife be ing ill in the other room, and even if he were able, it was thought his dreadful condition, held by men all the while to prevent instant injury from Ins sudden fits or spasms, might make her worse. Ho begged and continued to entreat them to let him look upon his wife once more before he died, and finally his friends and neighbors could hold out no longer, and consented to take him to her, he expecting to die in the next spasm, which he knew would not be long delayed. lie carefully wiped off the froth which was foaming all the while from his mouth, lest any of it should get upon her; and closing his lips tightly with a desperate effort, was borne to her bedside. Bending down his lips he met those he had so often kissed in joy, love and holy affection. And then, with one long look upon'a face be well knew he ought not to ask to see again, he bade her a last adieu. The strong men who gazed upon the scene wept like children as they saw the ding man, who, with his lips compressed, signified the necessity of being removed again from her presence, and was then ready to die. Shortly afterwards, in re newed paroxysms of the dreadful com plaint, death came to his relief. The Cincinnati Commercial, Wedftes day, gives an account of three men, who entered a lesidence on Fox street, in that city in daylight, gagged the lady of the house, Mrs. Schlenker, and stole $2,300. Two were caught a short time after committing the robbery, aud the third one, who had the money, is still at large. The Democrats of forty odd caunties in this Mate, had a free election yester day. If it wa3 not fair .they alone , are at fault, as Republicans took no part in it, save in thrte or four counties. In dianapolis Journal, March 24th.
