ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC COALITION.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC COALITION.
The LEGISLATURES OF VERMONT met on Thurs
day last, but was unable to organize until Monday,
on account of the inability of the House of Repre-
sentatives to elect Speaker. The candidates put
in nomination for this station were GEO. w. GRuN-
pY, Wing; w. Ill. IL. BINGHAM, Democrat; and
HoRATIo NEEDHAM, Freesol On the first ballot
Grundy received 90 votes, Bingham 81, and Need
ham 80; and the balloting was continued from day
to day, without much variation, until Monday, when
the Democrats in a body went over to the Freesoil
candidate and elected him. by increasing his vote to
119. This Coalition will, in all probability, ulti-
mately effect the election of either Freesoil or a
Democratic Governor, but will be powerless, it is
hoped, for the election of United States Senator,
as the Wings have small majority in the State
Senate, and each branch is required to elect sepa-
rately before going into joint ballot. The Wings
Of the Senate thus prevent choice at the pre-
sent session, and defeat of the objects of this
Ubiquitous alliance.

to stay the cruelties Of the tyrant In
temperance, under whose bloody reign
earth's teeming millions have groaned
for ages.
Resolved, That the passage Of a

ton to the ruinous traffic in intoxicat-
ing drinks.
Resolved, That as citizens Of the
State Of Ohio, we respectfully ask our
Legislature, now in session, to give
us a law similar in its provisions to
| the Maine Liquor Law.
Resolvcd, That, as friends of free
dom and humanity, we cannot vote
for any candidate for the Legislature.
who will not favor the passage Of 9

fc and use OF intoxicating drinks as .

ceedlngs of this meeting be furnished

Homicide.

A man named Lemuel James, says
the Piqua Register, boatman from
the Wabash canal, was killed in that
city, on Saturday evening, by another
named Reed. It appears that they
met at doggery known as the "Hole
in the Wall" (an underground estab-
lishment, each accompanied by two
or three friends, where some saucy
words passed between the parties.
After they came out, James slapped
Reed in the face, when the latter in
flicted upon him three wounds with a
dirk, either of which were sufficient to
cause his death. Reed was arrested
and committed to jail.
