New LISBON, February Ia, 1854.
Sill Anrthef MudOer.

Last night between Q and 10 o'clock the usu
al quiet of our citizens was thunderstruck by
the fact Of the sudden death Of one of the.brght
ornaments Of society among us, the untimely
"takng of" Of JEREMIAH MoLAuGHLIN, Esq.
Esteemed and respected by all who knew him
for his amiable manners and manly department
and the admired of every one for his superior
intellectual endowments, qualifying him for
the highest, most useful and responsible posi-.
tons in society, he was justly esteemed and no
one knew him but rs friend. One failing he
was most unfortunately liable to, which an un-
comfortable appetite appeared to lead him into,
and which often caused him t) be freely robbed
Of both Lis mind and money by those Internal
lceches Of society, who live and fatten on the
money, reputation, happiness, and lives of soc-
ETY., the doggery keepers. Thousands have
fallen victims before him; but very few posses
sing such brilliant prospects, or of such COM
manding usefulness
But u few nights since Mr.. Adams was
found stiffened corpse almost on the canal
bank, and from The same cause. Scarce was
the sod over him laid quiet by the shovel oI
the grave-eigger ere another victim falls by
the same afsassins hands, andis swallowed BY
the voracious tomb.
Shall il be thus? or will the state not inter
iere to protect the lives Of our citizens? or shall
we assume our reserved rights under the guist
Ofself protection, and BY physical force rid
these robbers Of their murderous instrument
talities.
A little after nine o'clock Mr.. Nc. was al
his boarding plaOs, Mr.. Watson's hotel
which, by the way, is temperance house
went up stairs in the hall, and from some cause
fell over the bannister, and in such wav as
to fracture his skull, and also break his neck
Mr. s. Watson Immediately ran to him, ant
found him dead, so fatal were his injuries.
To day all is excitement in town the las
murder is all the talk; it seems to be on every
body's mind. And no wonder A young mar
almost in the meridian OF human glory, to b.
thus cut off without a moments warning, it is
quite enough to rouse the stoicism of the heart
less; and strike terror to the indifferent ant
thOughtless.
Certain doggeriesW would have been gutted las
night, but circumstances were unpropit ous.-
To-day, however, the pent-up feelings cOul,
no longer be repressed among our citizens
forbearance had ceased to be avirtue--and
large crowd collected, which rolled the liquo
out Ofseveral doggeries and emptied it on IL
ground.
Some places none wss found. and one fello'
was allowed till ten o'clock tomorrow to carr
off his liquor. He should, think, have bee
used as the rest, inasnuch the work had begu
use all alike.
The funeral was attended to-day by larg
eoncpurse Of people,

I entered the House of Representatives the
other day, and found Mr.. Brown Of Hamilton
county, very tlippanty telling the House what
democracy was--said he was a Democrat
that he was in favor Of Free Trade and Direct
Taxation--that such was the Democratic doc.
trine, and dared the member from Carroll (Mr
Eckley,) TO answer certain propositions, OIL

seems to be good guerrilla fighter, tolt
Brown that there was doubt about what Dem
ocracy was thath he, Brown, had progressed
faster than his party that they had, as late
as their last convention. adopted the Baltimore
platform, which not only repudiated free trad,
but actually resolved that they were in favol

Markets.

Since the last arrivals, there seems to be a
downward tendency in the markets, particular
ly in the aticles Of breadstufTs The highest
price paid for wheat here, this season was ,55
but there is much decrease in the price it COM
mands 1856 this week. This price will not to
be considered as fixed owing to the unsettled
state of the markets in the east. 1t may be
lower.
We have no quotations ON he Cleveland
market, this week. Our latest exchanges give
us no fixed prices.

peal OF the Missouri Compromise. He also
presented four other similar petitions from
different parts of the State
Mr. Summer presented petitions from Illinois
and Massachusetts, against the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise.
The Nebraska bill was then taken up. Mr.
Badger addressed the Senate, He said he
had strong and hsuperable objections to that
part ofthe substitute, asit was reported by the
Senator from Illinois, which related to Indi-
ans, because it did not provide effectually for
the plighted faith of the nation with respect to
those tribes which had been induced to go
west Of tho Mississippi under the solemn guar
antee that they shonld never be distributed in
the quiet possession of their homes; but now,
these objections had been removed, he was
strongly in favor of the bill.

committee on that subject, reported resolu-

thorised by the Board, or at least a Majority
of its members, to purchase it. The company
had Mr. Lyons notes for the borrowed money,
and in negotiating for the purchase Of the saw
mill, it was understood, that he was to accept
these notes in payment for said saw mill, on

COLUMBUS Feb. 10, 1854.
Mr.. EDIToR; The Legislature is engaged, as
usual, doing nothing. In the Senate nothing
of much moment has transp pred. The major
ity Of that branch,I mean the democracy
have le- s ability, less practical sense, and more
self coLcet, than any of the same number of
men ever before connected with legislation
a rich incident occurred yesterday. Atkn-
son, Of Carroll, lby the way very small potatoes,
and feao in The hM al that, and like all other
apostates, very malicious ill-tempered, had
offered resolution for large amount of extra
printing and urged its adoption by such argu-
ments as weak demagogue would use-such
as ''The people want light" The country de-
mands to be informed" DE-. The amount OF
printing proposed would probably have cost
the State from FIVE to eight thousand dollars
Lawrence, Of Logan, opposed the resolution
He is an able and useful member. and took
occasion to remind Senator Atkinson that he
had better devise some means to lessod the tax
es, instead of increasing them and that there
was clause in the new Constitution which
prohibited the members from receiving per-
quisites, DC. To bis Atkinson, in very bad
taste, told Lawrence that in 1849 he had voted
to print documents, do. Lawrence very coolly
replied, that probabaly he had, but that it was
under different Constitution, and then he had
changed his opinion, as had the Senator from
| Carroil---for he was informed that he was
once Wing, and had changed. Atkinson
took regular spell, which was relieved by the
laughter from outside the bar and the poor
little ill-natured Senator, withered down under
the merited rebuke.

SALARIES OF JUDGES.

On the 4th in ST., Mr.. Egley of Hamilton.
introduced a Bill into the Ohio House of Rep
resentatives to increase the salaries of Judges.
The bill fixes the salaries of the Supreme Jud-
ges at S., 900 and that of Common Pleas judi
ges, where the population exceeds 10000 at
SO, 500. And others al 81 800 This large in
crease will not NEE with acceptance at the
hands of the people. Here are some of the
advantages gained by the anew Constitution
in the hand of its friends" The members of
the Legislature raised their per diem rom SIS
to S4 and by vote recently taken refused tc
d ease it. And now comes ga friend" Of the
"New Constitution" and asks the Legislature
to raise the salaries of Judges, which:by fal
exceeds the compensation allowed them under
the "Od Constitution" when more business
was done by them. However, in this age o.
progress and improvement" such things mee
with hearty reception by those who love the
"dear people," much, and their own pockets
more.
