THE 3ASBIISI.
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Hon. David Wilmot was on Thursday elec
ted l/nitcd States Senator, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of Hon. Simon
Cameron. His term will expire on the 4th of
March, 1863. The public career of Mr. Wil
mot is so well known to our readers that it is
not necessary to recapitulate it here. Ilis
ability and integrity are unquestionable, and
the chief objectiou which was urged against
him in the recent canvass was his radical Re
publicanism. It is but just to state, however,
that his action as a member of the Peace Con
ference which was recently iu session at
"\V ashiugtou, was of much tuore conservative
and conciliatory character than those who
had been accustomed to regard him as a rep.
resentative of extreme Free Soil views antici
pated; and his friends confidently predict
that ho will not only prove an able Senator
but a faithful exponent of the prevailing sen
iiments of our State. We trust 6uch will be
the case
Shuiplaater Movement. —The Bank Commit
tee recommend that institutions chartered un
der the general law, be allowed to issue 15
per cent, of their circulation in notes of the
denomination of sl, $2, and §3. They also
advise the repeal of the clause requiring the
notes of tha different banks to be uniformly
printed, and allow the issue to be fully equal
to the appraised value of securities deposited
with the 'Auditor General, instead of being
,5 per cent, less, as under the existing law.—
The sections requiring a ccrtaiu amount of
specie to be kept in the vaults, it is proposed
to Repeal entirely. The movement to intro
duce small notes into circulation is a step
backwards, and wc hope will not be adopted.
The Senate amendments to llousc bill No.
238, entitled an Act authorizing the Auditor
General aud State Treasurer to settle the c
counts for taxes with the Lewistown Water
Company and Tusearora Bridge Company
and strike the balancedue the Commonwealth,
•was read and concurred in on Thursday.
In the United States Supreme Court t
Washington on Thursday, Justice Wayne de
livered the decision of the Court in the long
litigated and earnestly fought case of Mrs.
General Gaines. The court decided that Mrs.
Game* was the legitimate child of Daniel
Clark, and entitled to his estate, with the ac
crued rents, &e. The value of the property
is stated at two millions of dollars. The
case is of interest from the value of the stake
and the perseverance with which Mrs. Gaines
has contended for her rights, year after year,
against .all the baffling obstacles that have been
cast in her way, and also from the fact that
the most, if not all of the properly which the
Oourt has now decided to be her right, is lo
cated in the city of New Orleans, within the
limits of the seceded State of Louisiana. It
is stated, however, that the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in cases pending, will bo re
cognized by the authorities of that State.
Chief Justice Taney also, on the same dav,
delivered the decision of the Court in the
case of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
against the Governor af Ohio, in which a
ntw<bmus was to compel Governor
Dennisou to deliver a fugitive from justice.
The Court decides that the act of the Gover
nor in the premises is merely ministerial, like
that of a Sheriff, and that he has no right to
enter upon the question whether the crime of
which the Fugitive is charged by Kentucky
js criminal in Ohio or not. The act is, how
ever, one of comity and good faith, which
there is no power to enforce upon a State of
ficer, and the mandamus is therefore refused.
The fugitivo in this case, if we remember
right, was charged with aiding and ahettii g
slaves to escape from Kentucky, and Gover
nor Dennison refused to deliver him up on
the ground that he had committed no crime
known to the laws of Ohio.
