statement that goes far to explain the
rapid Increase in the production of suyar
in the Island of Cuba. 1t seems that within Fl tty
years, though the value of slaves has risen in III n
time from an average Of ; 80 to one OF $500. vet
ths capital necessary to operate three hnnired
slaves has diminished from Si7I 900 to S3l9, 500
or about fourth, while the produce is twice as
great in quantity, though the diminu,i0n Of ths
value OF the sugar from S2i TO SIG the box, and
an increase in the annual expenses - caused in
part, probably, by the employment Of white en-
gineers-keeps down the profits to much the old
rate. Now this duplication of the produce is
solely owing not to slave labor, but to the ap-
plication of free labor and of the ingenuity
and intelligence which always 90 with it, to the
busines of sugar making; and it is to the fact that
Cuba during this last fifty years has had the bened.
which no English sugar colony has had-of SCI.
of resident planters, "asa class exceedingly in
" telieent aud quick to adopt improvements in
"their system of labor" and also that she has been
able to command free labor, to large extent both
from her own large body of freemen and by immi-
grafton from abroad, that are to ascribe, 10 no
uncomfortable degree that great development OF
the agricultural resources Of the colony, which the
purblind Mr.. Thrasher insists upon sscrbing to
Slavery alone.
Such being the facts, we cannot but agree rather
with Humboldt than with Thrasher, thateven 50 far
as regards mere economical considerations, emanc-
patton is the interest Of Cuba, especially as En-
gland seems resolved to insist upon the enforce
ment of the treaty for the prohibition Of the slave
trade, for consenting to which she paid the Span
ish Government two million Of dollars, but which,
till within the last year or two, has been shame
fully violated.
1t is agreed on ell hands. even by Mr. Thrasher,
that under the system of Slavery the black 'borers
are rapidly u,ed up the Cuban negro plantations;
so much so that, in spite of the large mportatons.
the slave population has long remained almost sta
tonary. To protect this class Of laborers against
tlis destructive system, and to secure au internal
supply of labor, it would seem absolutely necessary
to give to the negroes themselves the care of their
own lives and the right belonging to free laborers
of declining TO be worked to death.

OHIO LEGISLATURE-JAx. Is.

After the transactions of some business, Mr..
Marsh introduced a resolution, to refer the proceed
ings and resolutions Of a mass meeting of the
citizens of Preble County, held at New Paris, in
reference to the murder of Thomas II. Barber in
Kansas.
This gave rise to an animated debate, which
lasted for some time. Mr.. Brace moved to in
definitely postpone the whole subjuect. This mo-
ton failed.
Mr.. Marsh then made an exciting and eloquent
speech on the subject of the transaction, and de-
manded that the voice Of the constituents should
be heard in this body-and said the Committee on
Federal relations was created for the very purpose
of considering such questions.
Mr.. Brace modified his motion so es to indef-
nitely postpone the further consideration of the
subject. He then disclaimcd any disrespect for
the persons composing the meeting-but thought
there were subjects upon which it was improper
for this body to legislate-and he thought this was
one. 1t was a peg to hang osher and more impor-
tant and exciting topics upon-and he feared that
the time of the Senate would be engrossed alto
geter by them. to the injury of other business, un.
less it was postponed.
Mr.. Grisworld had no objection to tho reference,

OBITUARY.

DIED, at his residence on the 9Th inst, in Go
shen Township, Mahoning County, JoHN G.. SHINN,
aged 50 years, of Pleurisy, he was taken i'll away
home, with the bilious fever, and by frequent vio-
lations of the laws of health, death catne to his
relief. He has left a young wife with two small
children to mourn his loss; ana in him the slave has
lost a friend, as his purse appeared always open to
the relief of suffering humanity in whatever shape
it was presented. We cannot think his death was
designed by a just God, for his work was scarcely
begun, and the number of such men are too few;
but we must try and be resigned and endeavor to
meet him in brighter and better world than this,
where sickness and sorrow is no more, and no
transgression of Health known. S.
