Astounding Developments

Governor MediII one Of the Prime Movers
in the Infamous Kansas SwindIe.
The fact that Gov Medil is proclaim
ing himself afull-blooded Freesoiler in the
North, "lime freesoil' iu tho interior,
and daring champion Of Squatter Sove-
reignty inthe South, has brought out some
Of Ohio's gallant sons WHO dared to oppose
the Kansas-Nebraska swindle upon the
freemen of the North. We have it from
good authority, and now CHARGE, that
WILLIAM MEDILL, the present Sag Nicht
leader and candidate for Governor Of Ohio,
during the tendency of this Infamous out
rage upon freedom and the sacred compact
between the States of this Union, the
missouri Compromise, made it his bu-
siness to visit Washington, and there urge
personally and privately upon every Dem
ocratic delegate from Ohio, the great i'm
portance of his vote and influence for this
most hellish outrage upon every sacred
compact that should connect and bind this
people together as nation, for the reason
that it would become the "chief corner
stone" in the cardinal principles that slo' d
bind together the tottering fabric of the
present Administration! We make this
charge from the authority Of one Of the
Democratic Delegates from our State,
who had the manlness and honesty to re.
cord his vote against this unholy swindle
We further charge, and CAN PROVE that
during this same visit, one Of the refracto-
ry Ohio Delegates was brought into direcl
contact with President Pierce and Govern
IorMedill. when both these srortlies threat
ened the vengeance of the Democratic par,
ty of Ohio upon hic head if he dared to vott
against. this damaing blight upon free

A Nest of Counterfeiters Broken Up.

Police officer. Hague, of Pittsburgh,
having learned from counterfeiters ARES
ted in Washington county, Pa, of bogus
factory in this state, after obtaining as
sistance of Michael Gallagher, formerly
Marshal of the city of Cleveland, pro-
ceeded to Natchez, in Licking county,
about eight miles from Newark. The
Pittsburgh Gazette says:
e'There they made a descent upon the
house of a man named Robert Sears. ar
rested him and search the house, where
they found a lot of materials for manu-.
featuring bogus coin, and a galran-
ic battery. Him they sent to Zanes-
vile in charge of o. S. deruty Marshall
and the Marshall of GAINESVILLE, who they
had added 10 the party, while Hague
and Gallagher laid over to watch the
premises, satisfied that there would be
further developments. They staid on
watch all of Saturday night, and about
daylight on Sunday morning saw a man
come out of the stable with a carpet bag
in lis hand. They followed him, and,
as he was hiding it in the wood, they
sprang upon and secured the man and
the carpet bag. The former proved tc
be a man named Lorenzo Brown, who
was the galvanizer for the concern. Ii
the latter was found 500 in spurious q
gold pieces, a handful of bogus gold dol
lars, a lot of halves, quarters, and Ter
cent pieces-all counterfeit, and aconsid.

What Railroads do fnr Farmern

The following paragraph from the
Athens (Tenn.) Post shows what rail-
ways do for farmers. The farmers of
the three counties named derive a clear
profit this year on the single article of
wheat of more than $500, 900 from the
railway. Their 100000 bushels of
wheat sell for $500, 600 more than it
would have realized if there had been no
railway TO take it off:
Weat.-The price continues at 81.
One hundred and nineteen wagons I'M
loaded at the depot here on Thursday,
the 9Th. This county will export, of the
late yield of the harvest, one hundred
and sixty thousand bushels. Other
counties along the line Of the Railroad
will perhaps do as well. The three
counties of Brady, McMinn and Monroe,
from tie information o in our possess
ion, we have no doubt will sell for ex-
poit over 400, 000 bushels, at an average
of 81 per bushel. Here, then, is the
snug sum of between four and FIVE hun
died thousand dollars diffused among
the people of these counties for the single
article of wheat alone, the product Of a
single harvest. How much wheat did
these same counties export before the
railroad was built, and at what price p
Not more than twenty-five thousand
bushels, and that small amount was sold
at an average OF fifty cents per bushel.
In the meantime lands hase quadru
pied in value, and the owuers have ac-
tnaily become rich by the enhancement.

Five Times Married.

a few days since an old man of sixty
n years applied at the Office of the city
registrar for his fifth marriage certificate.
His intended bride is but twenty four, it
being her first marriage. This is the
only case within the knowledge of the
present registrar of a fifth marriage
Last year n man applied for his fourth
marriage certificate, and during that
year more men were married for the
third time than females. There is, how
ever, a woman in this city of about forty
years who is nov living with her sixth
husband. She was first married at the
age Of thirteen, and when fourteen was
a widow. At the expiration of the third
year she was married to her third hus
band. She has had but three children.

Heavy Verdict


A verdict was rendered in the Courr
of Common Pleas yesterday against Da.
vid Clark, for the sum OF S13, 700, be-
ing the amount, with interest, taken from
the Dayton Branch of the State Rank, for
taxes by Clark as Treasurer, under the
Crowbar Law. The suit was against
Clark as an individual trespasser, and
not as Treasurer of the County.
The Supreme Court of the United
Safes, as the reader will remember, has
decided the section in the Constitution Of
Ohio, under authority of which the Leg.
i%slature passed the laws taxing the State
Bank, as inconsistent with the Constitu.
ton of the United States, which forbids
the passage of anv law by the States i'm
pring the obligation of contracts, the
rate of taxation for the State Bank hav
ing been fixed by its charter, which the
Stockholders accepted, made a contract
between them and the State of Ohio,
which was violated by the new Constitu-
ton in the laws passed by the Legisla-
ture.-DGytoB Journal.

Washington Correspondence

WAsaISGToS CRY, Dec. II, 1856.
Editors Of the Chronicle :-There is at
this time much feeling existing in this
city in relation to Speaker. l regret TO
say, that the forty-frst ballot has just
been taken. Banks, the Republican can
didate, received 1O7 votes. This is the
fourth time he has received that number.
Six more votes would elect him, while
there are fourteen members from the
free States, elected on the Anti-NebraS-
ka issue, who now refuse 10 sustain the
Anii-Nebraska candidate. | am sorry
to say I've OF them are from Ohio, John
Scott Harrison and Mr.. Moore, from the
SciotO district. There are also two from
Indiana, MesSrs. Dunn and Scott. Beside
these, there are from New York and
Pennsylvania, ten members, elected on
that issue. These gentlemen doubtless
act conscienliously, and are responsible
10 their constituents. On them, | would
cast no censure, while | say very frank
ly, that their course has excited some
surprise and much regret. l have new
er seen a more genial feeling than APP
peared TO exist among the Republican
members at the commencement of the
session. But there are aspirants for Of
flee, and designing men, who labor for
their favorites. The friends of freedom
are thus placed in a false position before
the country. Some of these gentlemen,
who now oppose the election of Banks,
are "Union Savers" as they are called
here, and it is said that all of them are
members Of the American Order, and
acting under the directions of their lodges
at home, rather than in pursuance of the
popular will which elected them. On
This point, l have no information, and
only speak Of the supposition as it exists
here, which at this time is very strongly
against the order by all of its members,
but those who go for the 18th section of
the Philadelphia Platform.
There IS at this time much solicitude,
and we await the result with anxiety.
Yours, =.

Swamp Lands.

a few years ago, some cunning
scoundrels got an act passed by Con-
gress TO give all the ''swamp lands" to
the several States. The most of the
/ States granted the lands to the counties
for the benefit of N school :"
an | by further cunning maneuvering one
ofihe interested recipients was appoin-
ted 10 make the selection. From h"9';
ming TO end, there never was such u s.u-
pendous fraud permitted by any govern
ment upon itself, or rather upon the
mass Of the owners of this property, for
the benefit of a few adroit operators. In
ten wears, no State can tell what has be-
come of this great est tie, any more than
they can tell what has become of the for
ty millions Of surplus revenue Even
the counties that do retain the lands, or
the proceeds of the sale, must feel exact
ly ike the receivers of stolen goods.
We have lately heard something of
the Missouri fraud in selecting swamp
lands. That State is not alone. We see
il slated hat WhiteSide county, Illinois,
which is perhaI 5 as much OF an upland
county a. any in the State, has selected
10, 600 acres, or one-tenlh Of her whole
area, as swamp lands, which sold at
auction for two hundred thousand dol
lars-somc of the tract bringing ten dol.
lers per acre.
We know of other counties that a
even beat this, but which have net real
ize as much money-n fact nothing
for the Whole proceeds have bven expen-
ded in some robbing scheme of the wire
workers under prc;ense Of draining the
land /; many thousands OF acres Of which
10 more required draining than all the
grand prairie of Illinois.
We know Of one county in Indiana
that came in for about one hundred thou
sands of acres of swamp lands under the
robbers act, that has not Il public school
a. lis county seat, or Il in the county
that is worthy Of the nam of a public
school in a civilized country. And We
know of many instances where the black
est perjury has beet committed in Sc
l%ec.ing these lands, and the basest rob
berry committed ia their disposal and
vase Of the proceeds.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Legislature.

The Legislature of this State, meets
on the first Monday in January.
1t will have a vast amount of business
to perform, and but a short time to per-
form it. There are reforms which are
imperatively called for. The burden of
taxation should be lessened. The ten
per cent. interest law, which has made
usurers and shavers rich, and impover-
ished needy and honest men, should be
changed. Short annual sessions should
take the place OF biennial, and measures
to alter the constitutional this respect, by
bringing it TO the test of a vote by the
people, should be taken Immediately.
