The NaturaIiza ton Laws.

Yesterday the special committee in the
ifouse, consisting of -Messrs. Littler,
Flowers, Hume, Haines and Mills, repor-
ted back without amendment, the bill in
troduced some time since. by Mr.. Flow
ers, prohibiting State Courts from exer-
cislng jurisdiction Under the Naturaliza-
ton laws of the United States, and recon-
mended unanimously its passage. The
committee in the course of their investi-
cation ofthe subject, became satisfied, that
AS the law now stands, no indictment
could be found in the State Courts for
perjury In procuring naturalization papers,
as it was an offence against the United
States, and tomake such false swearing
punishable by statute in the State Courts,
would place person twice njeopardy for
the same co8ence.-contray to the Consti
tuition of Ohio. The bill has been com
mitted to HE committee of the Whole,
and will elicit considerable discussion, as
it is truly an alarming condition of things,
that our State Courts should be without
power to punish perjury committed in
their presence; and it is a strong argu-
meat for cenfining naturalization to the
u. s. Courts, where 1t is properly punish
able. 1t is besides, another proofof the
gross abuses and frauds that have grown
up under the present careless administra-
tlon of our naturalizali, n laws, which all
honest men should unite to speedily check
II 'hey would preserve the purity of our
elective franchise from corruption by
demagogues.- O. S. Journai.

A LITTLE PLAIN TALK TO THOSE
INTERESTED.

In the early part oil the winter, two or
three men in this place bought up all the
pork in our streets, and in their efforts to
overreach each other kept prices SO high
stopreclude the possibility of poor people
laying in sufficient amount to keep their
families going during the summer.
By an understanding between these
gentlemen 1--WE blush fer our town when
We say it the prices for that same pork
have been raised to such pitch as to
place it almost beyond the reach of the
honest poor who were unable to compete
with their monied neighbors when it was
offered in our streets. Common green
shoulders they are now selling atten cents
per pound when meat of the same quail
ty is selling in the city of Cincinnati for g.,
and they are selling hams at taoelve-and-
a-haf cents
But, poor people must I've; they can't
live very well without meat, and there
are men in this community who, taking
advantage of the necessities and poverty
of their neighbors, compel them to pay
not less than one hundred per cent profit on
every mouthful ofpork they eat.
This mug be right, it may be just; but if
it is, our ideas of right and justice are
very wide of the mark. For in our hum
bic judgement the man who will enrich
himself by thus taking advantage Of the
poor will find when he comes to "shuf-
fle off this mortal COLI shat Jordan is an
exceedingly hard road to travel.
Men are sometimes censured for de
manding and receiving usurious rates o.
interest for money when they find e
neighbor in want; but how inslgnifcan
is the wrong committed when compared
with the act of making the poor, hard
working man pay such outrageous, sucl
exorbitant, prices for that which is neces
sary to keep soul and body together, ane
which he mast have, thong h it should taxi
his last farthing
We speak thus plainly because we fee
what we say, and believe that we ar

system of extortion thati is being practi

Transportation by Atmospheric Pressure.
The Washington correspondent of the
Evening Times says:
Il mentioned in previous letter that
model of an atmospheric telegraph was
ON exhibition in the Capital rotunda.--1
Having an hours leisure to-day I endeav
ored to get an understanding of the ma
chine, and. owing to its simplicity and the
polite explanations of its proprietor, had
no difficulty in doing so. The model is
twenty five feet long, and consists merely
of hollow tube, an air pump q a plum
ger whic hits tube. Any small package
placed in the cylinder is easily propelled
through by few strokes of the pump
A large pump for practical purposes would
OF course, be worked by steam. For car
rying packages, and especially mails. this
inve ention appears to be especially design
ed, and | see no reason why an expert
ment should not be made by government.
cit is estimated and claimed by the in
ventor, j. s. Richardson, that in cylin-
der two feet in diameter and forty miles
long he can transport a load of seven tons
from one end of the cylinder to the other
in Jfve mirautes, with perfect saf.y and ease
Mr.. Rcharson engages that he can send
the mail from Washington to New York
in two hours, with unerring certainty. He
asks OF Congress an appropriation to en-
BILE him TO make fair trial OF his invention,
having full c. nfdence that mighty re-
suits will follow. By an Ingenious ar
rangement the mail can be stopped at any
point on the line, and be changed if neces-
sary. tits not essential that the tube
should be straight, regular curves offering
no digestion, no more than toa railroad
The machine is certainly worth trial, and
Government should not begrudge few
thousand dollars to en-: ble Mr.. r. TO salts.
fy the world that, in the language of Sam
Slick, some things can be done as well as
othersp This is an age of wonders!-
What will come next? Sending mails at

ANOTHER IMPoRTANr BILL.

Some time since Mr.. Mathews of the State
Senate introduced bill in that body pro-
viding for the compensation and salaries
of county officers The Committee to
whom it was referred have reported it
back with amendments, and itissupposed
it will pass that body.
The most important provisions of the
b II are about as follows: In counties hav
ing 240O male white inhabitants, the a.
mount to which the Sheriff and Treasurer
are each entitled out of the fees is $7OO.-
For every 200 male white inhabitants a.
bove 2400, there is to be allowed $25 ex-
ira compensation, until the whole amount
reaches $3, 500, whichis the maximum
This compensation is to be derived solely
from fees; if the product of the fees does
not make up the sum fixed as the COM
pensation, the officer will not get it; but if
it exceeds the sum named, the excess
goes into the treasury. We suppose
other officers will stand upon about the
same footing with Sheriffs and Treasurers.
1t is predicted by those who profess to
know that this bill will pass both Houses
of the Legislature during the present ses-
sion; and in order that those who are now
serving the "dear people" Of the various
counties may not be made "to trem-
bic in their boots, it may be well enough
to state that it does not effect the present
incumbents. Wyandot county, we pre-
sumo, will come under the first class. 1t
is said that about e-fourth of the ex-
pense of county Offices will be saved by
this BILL
The Bill has passed the Senate since
writing tie above.

spECKs OF WAR.

While Mrs. Vic, a: her subjects are
ranting and clustering about war, and
transferring her troops to the Canadas for
the purpose of frightening s'Uncle Sam s.
family, Jonathan is,apparently, as scool as
a cucumber, but at the same time not en-
tirely idle--some of the movements. of the
young man look little. .6ghtish. Note the
following it,ms, for instance:
Capt. Whitley. ofthe Ordnance Depart
ment has received orders from the War
Department, to put Governors Island. in
the N. Y. harbor, in state of war de
fence.
The President has sent in special mes
sage to Congress asking chat the sum of
$3,ooo,ooo be appropriated for the furth-
er defence Of tie existing fortifcations, and
for armaments and ammunition.
The Senate has passed bill authoriz-
ing the building Of ten sloops Of war, and
in the House of Representatives bill has
been introduced to still further increase
the Navy, by building fifteen additional
steam vessels. The War Department is
also busiiy engaged in gathering statis:i cs
Of the militia forces Of the country.
A cotemporary intimates. however,
that an explanation for all this is to be
found in the following paragraph:
Washington, March I.
The u s. Treasurer reports the amount
in the Treasury, subject to draft, at up
wards Of $22, ,700,OOO.
In other words, there is surplus in
the Treasury of the United States of $22,
100000, and the war cry has afforded
Franklin Pierce 4 Co. fine opportunity
to provide for some of the political "sap
suckers" and hangers on, whose influence
is so much needed just now to secure the
denomination Of the said Franklin. ~

Sammy Weller says, an ''owdacious'
head of hair, and to have it smooth, CLOS
sy and beautiful is an important ard cap
tivating addition to both sexes, and has
been the chief pride of the softer one
for centuries. To possess luxuriant
growth of hyperion curls, is to be the cob
served of all observers, and the admira-
ton of the race. Shakespeare, Byron,
Spencer, Scott, and every poet ami paint
er paid special attention to this glorious
and divine appendage, or crowning glory
of human head divine. But it is to Pro
fessor Wood that the world is more indeb

Grand Contest Between The Little Giant
And The Excelsior

According to previous arrangement, a
trialof ability was made between the ri
val Corn & Cob Mills, Little Giant and
Excelsior. on the farm of Riley Petit,
Crawford County o., on the Goth of Feb
ruary last.
The result of the trial was as follows:-
Both Mills being ready-side and side,
the team was attached to the Excelsior
Mill, which, in 80 minutes ground 2 bush
els gallons Of meal from ear corn
requiring 9-revolutions. The committee
wishing to still further test the Mill, was
run 4 minutes with dryer corn-grindng
J bushel of meal.
The same team was then attached to
the Little Giant and the Mill operated the
same length of time reducing the corn
10 the same degree of fneness- making
the same number of revolutions and using
same kind of corn. The result was: 81
bushels Il gallons of meal. Again
with the dry corn-in 4 minutes the Lit
le Giant ground bushel J gallons.
We further wish to say to the Farmers
Stock feeders and public generally, tha
theitrial was conducted without partialit,
and with the utmost regard to fairness
having no other object in view but to ties

Mortal Sins.

The Roman Catholic Bishop Of Toron-
to, Canada, in the lately published pas
toral letter in the Catholic Citizen, thus
defines what are Mortal Sins.
1st. at is a Mortal sin not to pro-
cure baptism toinfants as soon as possi-
BILE; and negligent mothers who thereby
send ur, expose their children to eternal
damnation are un worthy Of being church
ed
q end t'Parents and gui rdians are
guilty of Moftat sin if their children a.
bout seven years old do not know the A
postles' Greed, the Lords Prayer, the
commandments, the ma ner OF hearing
Mass. and making confession with SINGER
ity and contrition.
'CathoIic electors in this country, who
do not use theirelectoral power in behal.
of Separate Schools, are also guilty of
Mortal sin. Likewise parents in sending
their children to mixed schools, would be
guilty of a Mortal SIM -'
3rd eft is Mortal sin to miss Mass
on Sundays and other days of obliga-
tions," etc.
4th. "Itis Mortal sin TO miss East
er Communion" etc.
"Parents and guardians, who do not
send their children or wards to mass and
confession when seven years ofage, and
to communion when about twelve, are
guilty of Mortal sin and unworthy Of alb
soiution.'
5th. cit is sacrilege, which causes
great and frequent misfortune, to receive
the sacrament of Matrimcny in a state ol
Mortal SIM" .tsae @s
There are sins for which. in the time ol
Lent, penance is to be made, described by
the Bishop as being a "disobedlence
which makes US enemies of God, and de-
serves hell" 4
1t is difficult, on the reading of this
illumination, to decide which emotion pre-
dominates, contempt for the author OF

gross delusions If the matter stopped
