terrible severity. it almost equals the fig
ures used by MIR. Webster in his famous
speech on the trial Of the Crowningshields,
at Salem. Massachusetts, many years ago,
for the murder of White.

human nature, God knows; but this is GER.

you fell upon her son, lad about fourteen
years old: that in his young love of live.
he fled upon the wings Of despair before
your uplifed and murderous weapon; that
he fled in vain; you outstripped him; the
deadly blow fell upon his tender skull, and
he too was in eternity. Your motives are
not revealed. That they were cruel and

Ohio Legislature.

In Senate, on Friday, March II. the
day was mainly spent on the Penitentiary
and other important bills The Bank Bill
of Mr.. Lawrence was reported back, with
recommendation from the Committee on
the Currency that it be indefinitely post.
poned. Mr.. Lawrence opposed the mo-
ton. and the bill was laid on the table bv
an adjournment.
Mr.. WRIGHT (Whig) introduced res
olu,lon instructlng Our Senators and re-
guessing our Representatives in Congress
to advocate reduction of the duty on su-
gar and molasses. Pretty we'll for a tariff
Whig.
In the House, bill was introduced by
DR.. Perky, of Hancock, 10 amend the act
of Feb. 90, 1852. relating to the Board Of
Public Works. 1t is designed to secure a
more strict accountability of all concern
ed, requiring all accounts to be audited
and all drafts upon the Treasury. for claims
to be drawn upon the Treasurer by the
Auditor of State. 1t also proposes TO
transfer the power OF appointing subordi-
nate officials from the Board to the Gov
ernor and Senate. This is an important
measure. and appears TO be very judicious-
ly drafted. 1t is useless to attempt to shut
our eyes to the fact, that, il some change
in the present management is not impera-
lively required by the public interest, it is
at least demanded by popular opinion.
An interesting discussion took place in
the afternoon, on Mr.. Walkup's amend
ment relative TO popular sovereignty in the
Territories.

Hoy found dead in the Grassy Fork Of
Sunish. The jury returned verdict that
the deceased came to his death from causes
to them unknown. There were no marks
of violence, and it is supposed the deceas-

lying partially in the water, it was not of
sufficient depth TO have caused death by

aided Gardiner in his giant fraud. The
money they received was the price OF

timony of Mr.. Evans himself, the Presi-
dent OF the Board, given on the accession
of Gardeners previous trial, showed that
the award was made under circumstances.
and on evidence which, in the minds of
most people, would by no means justify
it. In connection with this, it will be re.
membered that Major Lally. son-in law
Of MIR. Evans, was a participation, in a
heavy amount, with DR.. Gardiner in the
proceeds.
"Neither will it be forgotten that it was
one of the leading counsel Of DR. Gardi-
ner, the Hon. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio.

Secretary OF the Treasury. on which the
money was paid. lie sold out his inter-

press purpose of enabling himself to act
in his official capacity in the premises.
"For long time it was asserted by
Mr.. Corwin's friends that the whole sum
which he received remained on deposite
with his bankers, Messrs. Corcoran and
Riggs. and that it was determined, if Dr.
Gardiner was convicted, to pay it back
