OHIO.


The Southern Press points with exulta.ion 10
proceeding OF the Ohio Legislature which has
been rcporedby the Philade phia Ledger:
ONO tuGlTIvE SLAVE AcT-The Ohio Leg stature
on me 22d OF February passed IAN securing the bene
mt OF habeas corpus which quite up to the Yer
mont act 1t makes the duty of the Attorney General
OF the State and the prosecuting attorneys of the coun
tes-Io protect and defend all persons arrested as tu
gtve slaves, ard to make immediate application 10 spe
CITED courts and Judges tor the writ heabeas corpu s.
sueh courts orJudges to grant the writ and upon its
turn to grant trial by jury all questions ottact
issue between the parties, and provided either party
make application tor such trial Ifthe verdict of the
jury thus called shall be in favor of the person claimed
as fugitive slave, heshall be forthwith restored his
liberty; and 1t the claimant shall again claim
ship In the slave within the State, he shall be deemed
guilty or felony, and, conviction thereof shall be i'm
prsoned in the pententary for not more than FIVE,
less than two years"
The Washington Union expresses its doubts of
the correctness of the statement thatIsuch an act
as this has been passed by the Legislature of
Ohio, and we hope the report may prove unbound
ed tits certainly strange that it has not hither-
to attracted attention.

The Examiner, declaiming against the resou-
ton introduced on Thursday, by Mr. Scott of
Fauquier, speaks in these terms of the legisla-
ture.
I'VE have lost all faith in the Legislature Our par.
" IN the House OF Delegates is full of traitors and
me other side is so perfectly rotten that we do moi
KNOW what will be the result Of this movement"
The Examiner is, of course, qualified to speak
Tor ITS own party, and what it says of them may
be safely taken as undeniable Let it be noted
therefore, that the Democratic majority in the Gen.
eral Assembly is "full of traitors-trators not to
Democracy only, but GAS the context forces us TO
understand) traitors to the South. The Wings
can afford to bear the imputation Of "rottenness"
utter this candid disclosure of the condition Of
their opponents.

A Ne,p Governor.

The Democrats of the Legislature held their
quence was that they were perfectly united yes
terday in the electio n of Governor. Even Senator
Shackleford's mind, which was perfect blank on
the subject Thursday morning. was happily in
formed and thoroughly decided. Col. JOSEPH
JOHNSON, of Harrison, proved to be the offspring
of the great Democratic mountain. The Wings
made no fight, and cast their votes, as SO many
| compliments of the morning, upon different gentle
men. Not Democratic gun hung fire, and
| the whole performance passed off without an un-
pleasant or interesting incident
The extent of COL Johnson's gubernatorial
honours is altogether contingent II the Conven-
ton hatch constitution before August the proba-
biity is that he will don his robes of office only to
lay them down again. Indeed it may happen that
his term will never begin at all. His nomination
is supposed to have been agreed upon with some
regard to the popular election Of real Governor,
which is expected TO take place late in this year or
early in the ext. He halls from the Northwest,
and it was probably thought expedient to pay an
empty compliment to that stronghold OF democracy
in order to conciiate its favonr for some candidate in
| the popular election, who should be drawn from
another section ofthe State. The Colonel is no
Disunionist, but one Of your regular old fashion,
ed Democrats, who have no particular faith in
South Carolina doctrines, and look upon the aa-
tional Democratic party as the chief blessing of
mankind. We congratulate the Democracy on
| the circumstance that they are sometimes permit
ted to promote one of their old line 1t is not Of
ten that they are so highly INDUCED, and the ia
YOUR is more to be appreciated because they are
for the most part wholly excluded in the cast of
Congressional candidates. Bayly, Millson, Meade,
Seldom, Holiday, Bocock, and (f we mistake
not) Edmundson, are all recruits from the Whip
| party.

sCuOOLEN DISTRICT NO. l.

The examination ofthe scholars in this school
came off on Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week.
The exercises of the scholars in the lower
room, under the charge Of Mr.. Coz, gave US a
great deal of pleasure, in noticing the improve
ment visible on every side, and the throughness
with which they have pursued their studies
We were greatly interested in the proficiency
Of class in Phonetics The district board are
entitled to no small credit for the introduction of
this new method of learning to read and write
We think the experiment will justify them, as it
has the friends of education in other places, to
continue the study. 1t will eventually, be the
only method to learning to read and write en-.
glish.
The exercises in the upper room for the past
term, have been under the charge Mr.. MCMINN.
The scholars in this department have made very
great proficiency. The classes in the different
branches acquitted themselves with great credit,
and betrayed the Industrious labor which their
teachers had expended upon them.
The Literary Wreath (anoher number OF
which has been published) will show what the
scholars have done in the line of English compo-
siton-and when it is reco!lected that these are
the productions of children, some of whom are
rs young as twelve years-their merits will be
better appreciated.
Under the supervision Of Mr. MCMlXy, the
school has filled up and is fiourishing admirably.
We are proud to put it against any school in the
state; and long may the city cherish it as its
brightest ornament and its greatest honor.
