BLACKS and MISUNDERSTANDING

Mr. Gushing. member Of the Ohio Senate
from the Gsllia, &c, district, has Introduced q
bill into the Legislature, $40 prevent the further
seulemenI Of blacks and mulalIo persons in this
STATE" This is going back into the 4" dark
ages" Of Ohio Legislation to some purpose, and
will immouslIze hs originator ingloriously.-
The FIRST section provides lhs, after the lsl Of
January. 1854. no black or mulaIto person, not
already resident. shall seue or reside ia this
State. Sec 2. provides that ell black or mulal.
TO persons shall record their names 10 the Re.
corder's office previous To January IsI, 1854 -
Sec. s. that the names Of all black children born
thereafter shall be recorded 4lh, that all blacks
found in The State aher January. 1854, whose
names are not registered, shall be held to be
nonresdsnls. 9th, that after that lime no non.
resident black can hold real property, but il shall
become forfeited 10 the State, 9Th. makes il lbe
duty Of the Prosecuting Attorney to recover pro.
perry so forfeited. 7Ih, any black violating any
of the provisions, is guilty Of an offence, and 10
be punished by Imprisonment not ess than six
months nor more than twelve that a residence
Of every ten days after expiration Of imprison
menI is new offence. 8lh, District Assessors
10 return TO the Recorder names Of all blacks.
9th, Recorder to compare the list returned with
that in his office, and report TO The Prosecuting
Attorney such as returned and no, found 10 his
Office, to be prosecuted for the offence. iOlh
any officer failing to discharge The duties re-
quired, 10 pay not less than $50 dollars, and bt
incapable Of holding office ever thereafter.
Sucn baTbarous law may suit Mr.. Cushing
and his immediate constituents. but we shoulC
hope, with the Cincinnati Gazeue, that :" NJ
such bill can very soon become law in ihi
SluIe." 1t has too much of the South Carolnt
snd Virginia code in il TO suit the freempn o
Ohio, white, black or mulauo; aud we are heart
lily ashamed that the disgrace Of such propo
siIion has been pated on record in The archiVe
OF our SmIe. The idea that the color Of lh
skin God has given to man should be accounted
aud punished as crime 10 free Ohio. is most re
Volnng to justice aud humanity. Better repea
all dlstncllpns in color that now exist on ou
statute books, aud make our boosted freedom u
least equal TO that Of the BRUSH Monarchy. -
