casion General Gaines received the brevet
of Major General. ). Shortly after, being
badly wounded, he retired from the COM
mand. For his conduct at Fort Erie,
General Gaines received complimentary
swords from the States of Virginia, Tenn
essee, and Alabama, and medal from
Congress.
After the war, General Gaines, was as
signed to the command of Florida, and
bore a conspicuous part in the contests
with the Seminoles, in that territory.
By order of General Jackson, General
Gaines presided over the Court Martial
which condemned Arbuthnot and Ambur-
ton to be hung. In the capture of St.
Marks, Fort Scott, Fort Gadsden, and
Apalachicola, he acted as second in COM
mand to General Jackson.
About the 25th of August 1918, General
Gaines bombarded st. Augustine and cap
tured it. After this war the military estab-
lishment was reduced, and but three Gen
eral officers retained, of whom Gaines
was one. He was assigned to the COM
mand of the Western Division, the duties
of which he faithfully performed for many
years.
When the Seminole war ragged in 1886,
and the honor of cur arms, and the safety
Of our troops seemed to require some vig-
orous action, General Gaines raised a
strong force in this city, and landing at
Tampa Bay, marched to the Withlacoochie
where he fought severe battle with the
Indians, and held his position under the
most embarrassing circumstances, until he
was superseded by General Scott,
Gen. Gaines returned to this city, where
ne remained, as commander of this Divi-
sion, until the Mexican war broke OUT
His prompt and soldier-like conduct in
calling out large and effective force to
send to the aid Of General Taylor, when
the reports Of the critical position of Gen.
Taylor on the Rio Grande reached this
city, have since received the sanction and
approval Of the whole nation. Had his
views been carried out, the war would
have terminated earlier than it did
Thus have we hastily run over the chief
events in the stirring life of the brave old
soldier, whom we have been so long accus-
toned to love, cherish and admire. The
soul Of General Gaines was pure of spot
or taint-his heart knew no guile-his
spirit was brave, gallant and chivalric.-
His courtesy and kindness were inexhaus-
Iible; his charity and benevolence we're
Doundless. A lofty sense of duty and of
honor. an infexible patriotism, presided
over all his thoughts, actions and senti-
ments.

hold court of Common Pleas four times
year in each county within his circuit,
accompanied by the probate Judge as an
associate, within their respective counties.
Either one of these Judges should censi-
tute quorum to do business, and in case
when both sitting) there should be q diff
ference of opinion, that of the President
Judge should prevail. This court should
have original Jurisdiction in all matters
both of law and equity, in any sum not
exceeding ten thousand dollars in actions
of"trespass," and any sum above fifty and
not exceeding ten thousand dollars in ac-
tons of debt-also appellate jurisdiction
from justices of the peace.
4th. There should be elected by the
people, in the State at large, five Supreme
Judges, whose term of office should con-
tinue seven years-any two of whom
should contitute quorum to do business.
The State should be divided into five judi.
cial circuits, and Supreme Court, held
at least twice year in each circuit, at a
central point therein, to be designated by
law. This Court might be held in differ
ent circuits at the same time. This Court
should have original jurisdiction in all mat
ters of law and equity in any sum exceed
ing ten thousand dollars; and appellate
jurisdiction from the Court of Common
Pleas in all matters Of equity; and appel
late jurisdiction, by writs of error, from the
Court Of Common Pleas in all matters Of
law.
9Th. These five Supreme Judges should
meet at Columbus on the first Monday ot
December, to hold Court in Bank for the
decision of all the cases reserved from the
circuits.
These decisions would constitute the
Ohio Reports; and this system would
fusnish the Judges with better opportu-
nifty for investigating their cases, as well
on the circuit as in Bank-make their de-
cisions more valuable and give their re-
ports better character than they have
hitherto had. If this system for construc-
ting our judicial tribunals was adopted,
the day is not far distant when the dccis-
ions of Ohio would stand first in the cata-
logue of precedent, and the legal talent of
Ohio would exert an influence worthy of
the character of an able and eminent
Bar. PER CURIA.

Mortality Among Fish.

The Paterson NJ Intelligencer states
that thousands of fish have died within a
day or two from some unknown cause in
McCurdy's Pond, opposite Paterson, the
shore being lined with their bodies. Hun.
dreds of the fish are seen near the shore
in an almost perpendicular position appa.
rently painting for breath, and after remain.
ing thus for little while, they perish and
float to the shore. A few days since the
pond was completely covered with a green.

RUST IN WHEAT.-Never, within our
recollection, have we heard so much COM
plant of the destruction or blight of wheat
by rust, as we have heard the present har-
vest. From all parts of our county the
news is the same. Thousands of acres
will remain uncut, or if harvested at all,
will not. pay the expenses. A number of
farmers have turned their stock into their
wheat fields, without harvesting any. We
doubt much if there will be enough wheat
in the county for home consumption.

Arrival Of Father Mathew,

The ship Ashburton, with Fathew Mathew
on board, arrived off Sandy Hook on the
afternoon of the 29th ult. She reached
the quarantine, Staten Island, at sundown,
when the Apostle of Temperance went
ashore with the doctor who came from the
island to examine the passengers. He
was accompanied by his Secretary, Mr..
O'Mera, and was received with the utmost
enthusiasm by the people on shore.
Father Mathew enjoyed excellent health
all the way, and his spirits were remarka-
bly, good. He was only sea-sick for the
first day or two. He looks right well,
though, when going on shore, he appeared
a little nervous and excited.

The Black Laws,

We had intended, ere this, to have said
something relative to the repeal of the so:
called Black Laws, by the Legislature of
last winter, but have been prevented by
other engagements. We hope to be able,
before long, I'd devote considerable atten-
ton to this subject, and to show up in their
true characters those wings who have been
for years voting for men in favor of the re-
peal of the Black Laws, and yet denounce
the members from this county for their
course on that subject. We will, at this
time, venture prediction, and we wish.
our readers to mark it well. 1t is this:
That the wings, who are now denouncing
the senator and representative from this
county for that vote, will, next fall, vote for
candidate for Senator, and perhaps for
other candidates, who will occupy the same
position on that subject, and at the same
time labor to make capital against the pre-.
sent members, should they, or either of
them, be candidates for reelection, on ac-
count of the repeal of those laws. Gov:
Bebb and Gov. Ford could denounce the
Black Laws as disgrace to the age in
which we live, and yet these wings who sup.
ported them might and main, are now per-
fectly Mortified at the idea of repeal. We
hope, for the credit of humanity that there
are not many such wings to be found in the
county. We further venture the assertion
that any man, who might have occupied a.
seat in Legislature as member from this
county, would have voted precisly the
same vote upon this subject, that the pre-
sent members did. Had he voted other.
wise, he would have differed with seven
eighths of his political friends, position
at no time enviable; and especially when
1t is considered that upon the success of
democratic principles depends the welfare !
OF our State. Another assertion we will
venture, as we are just now in the mood
for making predictions, and that is, that a
bill to restore the Black Laws, should one
ever be introduced, of which we have
doubts, will not receive 20 votes out of the
one hundred and eight members. The time
has gone by when a negro can be assaifed
in the public highway, robbed and half :
perhaps, by worthless white
man, and yet obtain no redress, should no
white person see the act done. Perhaps
in the next ten years the oath of colored
person will not be required before any tri-
bunal in this county, and yet the repeal is
as loudly defroinced by some as if all their
and political rights were about to
be sacrificed.
