maintain position of absolute independence

and accept this test This is precisely the

PUBLIC LANDS IN OHIO.

The speech of Mr.. Chase on the bill to
grant to the State of Ohio the public lands
owned by the Federal Government within it,
limits, an extract of which we present on our
first page, is a concise and strong argument
in favor of the policy of such grants, and con-
tains some tabular statements of much inter-
est
For the success of this measure in the Sem
ate, SO important to the People of Ohio, they
are indebted to the well-timed and judicious
efforts of Mr. Chase. AS an illustration OF
the petty spite of party spirit we may refer
to the fact that, although this bill is one in
the passage of which the whole State is deeply
interested, not the slightest credit has been
awarded by the Wing press of Ohio, to the
author and advocate of it. 1t has not even
mentioned his connection with it. The Gin
cinnati Gazette, published his speech on its
outside page, but without calling attention tc
it, or alluding to his connection with the pas
sage of the bill through the Senate. The de-
mon of party is one of the meanest devils LEI

regular contributor to the columns of the Era
She may not be able, for some time, to com
mence another work of the character of that

thousand copies have already been sold; but
meantime we may expect shorter and less
elaborate productions from her pen.
We take this occasion also to announce that

as GRACE GREENWOOD, who is engaged fol-
the Era exclusively, will leave this country OF
the 26th instant for Europe where she viii

for our columns which for the rest of the yeal
will constitute one of the chief attractions d
the paper She will be absent probably {
year, so that we shall have the pleasure anc
benefit of her mature observations on English
and European life
We hope the foregoing information may be
widely circulated by our friends, 80 that the
many admirers eff the authors named may
put themselves in communication with them
through the Era

to call attention to the announcement above

Pennsylvania, in relation to the murder Of the
colorcd man at Columbia, Pa, by officer Ridge
ly, of Baltimore We have given this mans
version of the affair; appended are two other
versions from the Harrisburg Telegraph:
"On arriving at Columbia, the officers found
the colored man engaged piling boards. Sny-
der approached him, and Ms he was in the act
of lifting some boards struck him on the back,
and said You are my prisoner At which the
negro dropped the boards, looked up amazed an
instant and then ran about thirty feet to u
fence, which nc was in the act Of crossing
when he was caught, and pulled to the ground
by Snyder Ridgely, who swOre he would shoot
the negro when he ran, came up while Snyder
and the negro were struggling and taking sure
aim, shot the negro through the neck, cutting
the jugular vein, and killing him instantly
This happened about four O'Clock in the after
noon. Al five o'clock, the body of the negro
WAS still lying at the place Where he was kill
ed-a horrid spectacle no inquest having been
held upon it, The Negroes wife and child were
its only attendants. Ridgely Immediately af-
ter he Killed the negro, fled across the Susque-
hanna towards Baltimore. Lyme and several
Others were near the negro at the time he was
murdered, but hid behind pile Of lumber
None of the parties have been arrested"
Another Version. - We have received,
from gentleman who was in Columbia at the
time OF the murder, the following version of the
affair, which he says is known to be correct
Tie states that the negro had not been arrested
by either Snyder or Ridgely-that no was en-
gagged piling boards in narrow place between

CONGRESSIONAL CEREMONIALs

Cannot our Legislators improve their style of

Could they not manage to carry on their de-
alterations without constantly informing the
world that they are honorable and distinguish

gentleman from Virginia will pardon me -
"Thc distinguished gentleman from South Car
DINA -" Since had the honor of addressing
your honorable body, the distinguished gentle
man from Louisiana has made certain alu-
sions" &c. This is a specimen Of the prolix,
may we not say, pucrile, forms which have be-
come fashionable in both Houses of Congress.
The evil is growing. The phrase, the gallant

piled where the subject of reference is "A mill

which so often SEXES our spasmodc orators.

to belong to the servants of free people!
Having simplfed the style of address sup

dreadful circumlocution intended for courtesy |!
For example, could not member make q
rightly-timed, gentlemanly, modest speech,
without prefacing it with an appeal for pardon

display Of extraordinary humility, or chart
table recognition OF the pure motives OF some
body differing from him in opinion, as if that
