From the evidence SO far, it would appear that
the charges ofgross corruption are fully substan-

states ihat, judging ION the evidence already
taken he has doubt that at least onethird of the
amount (S6o0,OOO) appropriated by Congress for
the erection of the Capitol Extension has been

tire implicated in the transaction

NEAR SALEM, Ono, Dec. 30th, 1852.
On reading Senator Cushing's Bill presented to
the Senate of Ohio in Session, in December 1852,
it brought me to thinking, and l remembered that
a considerable number of notes purporting to be
notes issued by the Bank of I'akersburgh in Vr-
giuia, thirty odd years ago, put in circu-
ation. When the holders of the notes called for
redemption, The President and Cashier could not
be found, and there was no such Bank in Parkers-
hurgh and never had been.
few years ago the gentlemen of Parkersburgh
wanted to get Metho list Minister from their
neighborhood, because he preached Abolition doc
trine when on the Ohio side of the river, it is said
they persuaded him to enice some worthless slaves
to run away, and gst his friends on the Ohio side
Of the river when they landed to assist them from
the boat TO a place of safety. The gentlemen OF
Pakersburgb had a number of their gang in am
bush, who kidnapped the Abolitionists, and took
them with the FLgtvss over the river to Par
kersburgh, except one Fugitive that made his es-
cape. The public may remamber how the blood
hounds thirsted for the blood of the kidnapped
Aboltionists. Afier harassing them for consider
able time, the authoratiss of Virginia thought
proper to let them return home. 1t is said the
Methodist Minister absc,ndsd, 50 they got rid Of
him they desired.
believe these Palkershurgh gentlemen are con-
tnued in authority, they have lately robbed the
Post Office of that place, of all the Pamphlets and
pnpers crntuining information as they suppose,
which exroses their unjust and oppressive conduct
they then in n drunken frolick danced round the
pile of papers that they put in the street. und burnt
them.
fear that the atmospheric air which tho Par
kersburgh heros breathe, has been blown by the
South wind over to the North side of the big
for Senator Gushing. lfhe represents tlem fully,
they ought to be driven from eociety until they
conform to the organic law Of the free State of
Ohio. Docs it not say that all are born
equally free? Why does tle Senator want TO de-
prise his fellow beings Of having homo or place
to live in !! They created by the same omnp-
oent power but by different agents, Black man
is the father of a Negro, a White man the father
of Mulatto, and also White man the father of
Senator Gushing, who wants, if his Bill is made a
law, 10 rob and disfranchise citizen that will not
put his abominable and oppressive law in force.
Has not the Senator got a contamiuate heart
Who could think that the same humber of men
could be found in ary one district in The free State
of Ohio. who would vote for man to represent
them in the councils of the State knowing him to
have such uboninabe principles.

q The facilities for vice in this City are rapid
iy increasing, and if they proceed in the ratio
for another year shall not have to bo ,st that
our criminal calendar compares avo ably with that
OF other cities. Almost every doggery ('f which
the rumber is daily increasingly in this City is
crowded with gamblers ready TO pounce down on
the unwary young man who enters its portals
After one or two encouraging drinks lie is led into
the lille room aud invited to a small game "iust
for the drinks" after which ''quiet quarter is
proposed. BY this time the victim is sufficiently
excited and his masters money freely bet, and as
certain sequence freely lost His bad luck is con-
doled with and he is led off to futher debaucheres
to console him for his loss and to bury for a time
his feeling of self degradation.
The poor victim thinks second visit will re-
deem his fortunes and perhaps enable him to re-
store his puroined resources. Deeper and deeper
he sinks in the scale of iufamy, and at last utterly
reckless abandons himself to vice.
A very short time since young man occupying
respectable situation in the confidence of bis en-
ployer was detected in peculations to q large l.
mount, and informed of another Young
man who has been occupying a confidential situ-

scarcely furnish an idea of the extent of crime the

"One thing howeger, il lamentaby certain the

the County poor, in its present condition woad be
a disgrace TO any community if used for pest
house. 1t ls to Il matter of wonder, how forty
pesons Of both live at all. crowded as
they are into small, i'll ventilated, and poisonous
rooms, where the air is foe. cd with the constant
re- iuhalaon of the same atmosphere, almost to
suifocaton. Besides, it is next tco impossible TO
keep it properly warmed. II has been patched,
and tnkereJ, and mended until there is scarcely
spot on or in it that has not been re touched,
and now it stands flabby and shabby, creaking and
leaking, and looking rs desolate and dismal as de-
serted lazar house,
The above is exaggeration, silly fiction. 1t
is mere fancy sketch, and poor one at that :;
nnd bears nterna evidence Ui being the production
of maudn. and hence the "orsan :" probably
speaks cffica!ly.
First-The house is I" il-venti,ated - and " tile

Second-ln the next breath " it is next TOO ~
impossible to keep it properly warmed" it is
Sc flabby and shabby, creakng and lenking &c &C.
Was there ever the like How philosophical 1t
is to suppose that human beings can "sufecate -
while inhaIling cold air Think of it ! The ed-
tor Of the Uhg is certainly too bright to live long
Such precociousuess is-is-suGocat:ng! The
building, says the Ehig, is flabby and shabby,
creaking and leaking" The winds of Heaven
blow freely through it of courses so that it is next
TOO impossible 10 keep it properly warmed md
yet at the same time, the poor inmates are almost
| sufocatea for the want of cool refreshing air
This is 'bloming hot, and bioving cold,', in ,he
same breath, with vengance
But the Vhig is now organ and its tune
must be ground out, even at the hazard of produc-
