The LATE LEGIsATURE.-We are sorry to no
tice in particular quarter of much influence,
where we are accustomed to meet with views and
sentiments in which we concur, a disposition, as
we think, to find fault unnecessarily and without
sufficient reason with the late legislature. When it
is considered that this body has had responsibility
meet and labors to perform greater than have ever
been imposed upon any other Legislature since the
organization of the State government we think it
will not be deemed conclusive evidence against
the ability and usefulness of the late members
that some errors were committed. Indeed it woulI
have been surprising, called upon as they have
been to frame general laws, embracing in their
scope the entire interests of the State mistakes
had not occurred; but it is not proper in the dem
ocratic press as we conceive, to carp at such
things these, when they fail to do justice at the
same time to the general industry and efficiency Of
our representatives. Say what any one may, the
facts will show when fairly placed before the pub
lie, that the late members are deserving of the
highest praise for the useful labor they accomplish
ed, instead of censure for what they may have
failed to do, or any slight errors into which they
may have fallen.-Toledo Rep.

The Roads and Travel.

1t is confidently asserted by those who keep
themselves s'posted," that within the memory of
the 'soldest inhabitant,'' there has never been a
travelling, as the present. In factthere has been
no such thing as passable road since the first
November freeze, and at present, the prospect for
the future is but little to rejoice over.
The only sensible way to get over the ground,
is to get aboard the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Rail

accommodations, has fewer accidents, and more

The Indiana rag Flood.

The Indiana State Sentinel now and then posts
up the public at large on the condition of the bank
rag mania in that State, under the well-named
free system. On the 2lst it gave the following
as list of concerns which issuing illegal bills
for circulation hundreds of miles distant from the
residence of-the man whose hat is their place o.

1t is not probable that our readers will otter
see the bills of either of these banks, but if evel

s To-day we lay before. our readers the new
tSchool Law, to which we referred in our last
issue. A =
It will be seen that.the old Law Of general ap-
plcation, with the one thousand and amend
ments attached, is repealed by this act and the
people will now have an opportunity OF reading
in one ntelligible statement, the law as it s, and
we think, about as it should be. =.
The Importance of well regulated school sys-
tenn is admitted. everywhere; its benefits are felt
wherever it is established. Our prosperity as a
State, our welfare as people, demand that Ohio
first in improvement, in increase and prosperity
in the Union, should be the banner educational
State of the Republic. a53 y a
This law proposes just what we want. We
desire Board of Education with sufficient au-
thority to carry out the law. We want the means
of raising sufficient funds to erect school build
ings, to furnish apparatus and libraries for school
purposes, to employ good and competent teach
ers, to have suitable officers to superintend our ed
ucational affairs, and the opportunity Of electng
such men as will toke and interest it them.
1t proposes that each child, whether rich or
poor, white or black, shall. 1sve the opportunity
of obtaining respectable education. It propes-
es that the property within the State shall be tax
ed to school her children-that the gilded car
riage and costly plate and extravagant luxuries
of the aristocrat shall help to pay for educating
the orphap-and the INDECENT children.
We are aware that this law will meet with op-
position from many sources. The signs of oppo-
x5ton are already dscernable, and in ssme in
stances from quarter where it was least to be
expected. Butsuch is always the case when any
reform is proposed, or any new invention is ex-
hibited. The new Constitution was opposed.
The law which taxes banks as individuals is de-
nounced, and every step towards progression or
improvements met by an old fogy conservatism
that brooks not Innovation. When the plow was
introduced, our unletered ancestors considered
it humbug. That venerable species of auger
7distingushedby the classic appellation of "pod'
was relinquishedi in favor of the present improve
ment with great deal of hesitancy by it admir-
ers, and the floating scow of old Virginia. was
for long time considered superior to the pres
ent article of steamboat, and it was argued with
some show of reason, that it at least was more
safe conveyance and less liable to explosion.
1t was not therefore expected that the Legisla-
ture should pass law which would satisfy every
one. The present, we believe, will meet the ap-
proyal of the large majority of the people, and it
deserves at least an impartial trial. It should be
carefully read by all and fully understood.
