The Ohio Independent Treasury
Law.

The New York EceHing Postconcludes
Il highly favorable notice of the law pass
ed by the Ohio Legislature, at its late
session, for the establishment Of Il State
Independent Treasury, with the follow
ing prediction:
I'VE predict that this measure will
bring about Il larger every day use Of
coin in the State OF Ohio than in the 9TH
er States, and will give to Ohio the pos
session of a larger proportion of the
specie of the country than she would
otherwise have, at the expense of the
other States; aud that the State stocks
of Ohio will lNc in value constantly as
she approaches nearer and nearer to the
payment of all the States creditors in
coin. A part of the high credit Of the
Unifed States Government stocks is I'M
qu~estionably due to the assurance the
holders have that the debt, principal and
interest, will be paid in actual money"
I'VE olso predict that the State stocks
ofOhio will, for this reason, soon become
Of niger value in the market, all other
circumstance being fairly considered,
than those OF any other State. Aud We
predict further, SO easy and popular will
the operation of the system be found.
that all payments whatever, in aud out
ofthc OHIO State Treasury, will be actu-
ally made in coin before the period fixed
by the law for this consummation."

BnX,in tile Street.

Some one says that the practice of per
hitting the boys to pcramulate the streets
at night and especially to Il late hour, is
Il most reprchensible one. An old wri
ter forcibly says:
They acquire, under the cover OF
night, an unhealthy state of mind-bad.
vulgar, immoral and p%rofane language,
obscene practices, criminal sentiments.
il riotous and staggering bearing. In
deed it is in the street after nightfall.
that the boys principally acquire the
education of the bad, and a capacity for
becoming rowdy, disSolute, criminal
men. Parents in thi, particular. should
have a rigid and inhcxible rule that will
not permit a son to 60 into the street
after nishtfall."
Every one will admit the entire truth
ofthe foregoing. Yet it is quite rom
mon to find scores ofboys running our
streets after night, drinking, swearing
fighting. using vulgar and indecent lam
guage, &c. Did any n ever know a
boy raised in this manner to become a
worthy and intelligent man? Do parents
reflect that the sins they commit, the
ruin they bring upon themselves. are
Justly chargeable to those who should
have the care of them? When the par
ent neslects his duty to protect and to
guide the youth, enjoincd upon him by
nature, docs not the sin of the boy be-
come that of the parent? 1t is not only
unjust, but it is.wicked and cruel in the
parent to permit his son to be exposed
to such temptation and evil.
The time of these lads is too valuable
to be wasted in this manner, even though
their morals and their natural regard
for virtue and right were not destroyed
by it. Youth is the time for study and
for education, and if habits of study and
Il fair share of education are not acquir-
ed during youth they never will be-
Any stuGious boy can make himself a
scholar, and a man of intelligence, by
devoting the leisure hours of the early
portion of the night to study and i'm
provement. Many of the greatest men
Of the country have thus made them,
selves great. Many of the best men Ct
the country have thus made them
selves good.
May we not hope that some of our
citizens will reflect upon this subject,
and act upon it? If boys are kept in at
night, the evil is at once cured. They
are then kept out of the way of tempta-
ton and evil example, and they will not
long endure such restraint without re.
to hooks to pass awav The time.

visit to our place, and we advise al afli T.
ell with any chronic disease to give him
i call while they have the chance of Sec

tents in our country who&we believe,
are highly pleased and doing well I'M
d r. his treatment. The DIR. has for sew
crIl years had the opportunity Of treat
ing thousands of cases annually, which
must give him a superior knowledge of
chronic disease, and in Consumption,
b onchhs and asthma, he employs med
icated inhcIrtion, which, instead of
dragging the patient in the OLD way,
brings the remedy to the very seat of
the disease This system DIR. Workman
was the first to introduce in the est,
using the remedies employed at the
Brompton Hospital, London, where in
halation was first introduced, for which
he has a certificate of authority to show.
The DIR. carries with him a Manakin, as
large as life, showing correctly all the
internal organs, which should be seen
by all the afflicted. Give him a call, as
his examinations are free. Call e;rly,

The Admission of Minnesota
who Voted Against 1t.

The following are the names of the

of Minnesota iuto the Union. We OK
tract from the official proceedings:
THE bill was then passed in the form
it came from the Senate-yeas 157,
nays 81. The nays were as follows:
'.Messrs. Anderson, Bingham, Blair,

and which had a population sufficient to
entitle it two members in the House OF
Representatives, but three were Dem

and fourteen Southern Know-Nothings.
Three of the Republicans were from our
own State :Messrs. GIDDlNGs, BINGHAM

The Bride.

Since the passage of the English bill,
the Black Republican party find nothing
ofwhich to complain, except that a bride
is offered to the people of Kansas, to in
duce them to adopt the constitution
Those who make such a fuss about the
matter know very well that there is
nothing in it. 1t is merely a hobby
which they are forced to mount, for want
of a better one. If the land grant was
either unusual or extravaganza, there
might be some sense in their opposition
to it. But as the grant is a customary
one, and the proceeds are to be Judi
c%iously appropriated, the war made
against it, is entirely unjust. To show
how the more sensible of the opposition
view this feature of the bill, we present
the following comments upon it from
the Washington States, an anti Admin
istration paper:
The new Kansas bill accepts the
C~rittenden ordinance; and, while pre-
senting that to the people, according to
our Interpretation, allows the latter to
express their will on the constitution
1t is avirtual submission OF the consti-
tuition, though not done in as straight
forward q II as we could desire.
"As the ordinance is only such a one
as is ds1dl in the cases Of all new
States, there is no particular reason why
the people shall be Influenced to accept
it. Whenever they come in, they will
have just such an ordinance-ccrtainly
one Of not less value: while the Lccomp-
ton ordinance would have given them
one seven times more valuable. The
Lecompton ordinance would be worth
in land some s29,49O,2OO the ordi-
nance Of the new bill gives land to the
amount of over $1,000, 600 Therefore ICE
cannot regard the neto ordnance as u
6ri6e to seailoU tie constitutions, as it as
only the uSudt grant, and seven times less
than that demanded by Kansas, suppos-
ing Kansas to have made the Lecompton
instrument. If Hansas rejects this

Refining TO SGuIrna.

Some of the Black Republicans Of
this State are beginning to realize the
awkwardness of the position in which
they haze been placed, by the action Of
their members of Congress, upon the
Kansas question. The Kenton RepWJli-
can utters the following groans over their
abandonment of principle for the sake
of a temporary triumph" Her it:
I'VE think our Republican friends
at Washington com mitted a very grave
error in the course they pursued on the
Crittenden and Montgomery amend
ments, though Of the two we have Il de-
cidcd preference for the latter. They
voted to end the Kansas controversy We
admit, but at the same time they voted
in favor Of the admis sion of Kansas in
to the Union with Il Constitution recog-
nizing slavery, provided that instrument
is ratified by IA vote of the pro-slavery
party of Kansas, aided and abetted by
the Border Ruffians of Missouri, which
taking past elections in the territory as
a criterion, and the determination Of
Buchanan and his administration to cs-
tablish slavery in Kansas, will easily be
accomplished"
at the Republicans desire to succeed
in the future they must progress forward
instead of backward. They must adhere
to the Republican platform of 1856, and
not compromise its essential provision
at the suggestion of this man or that
We fought the battle of SO upon prin,
ciplc and as an humble m-mbcr Of the
Republican party. we regret to see that
principle abandoned by our Represen-
~tttives at Washington, for the sake Of Il

Not True,

The Washington Union notices the
struggling rumors which have got into
the opposition newspapers intimating
probable notifications or changes in
the cabinet, and %pronounces them un-
# unded and gratu:tous. Probably no
administration in the history Of the
country has>so entirely harmonized on
all measures of policy as the present
one; and no fact is more certain than
that each and every member ofthe cabi-
nent enjoys the entire and implicit con-
fdence of the President.

I'm the Union,

In spite of the factious opposition of
the Black Republicans in Congress,
Min esota is now in the Union. The
chief leader of the opposition to the ad-
mission of this free state was JOHN
SHERMAN, of Ohio. He based his OBJ
lection upon the fact, that the constitu-
ton conferred the elective franchise up
on foreigners who had declared their
intentions to become citizens. In or
der to show the hypocrisy of Mr.. SHEER
MAN and his associates, Mr.. JENKINS,
of Virginia, referred to the enabling act
of Minnesota by which foreigners who
had declared their intention were per-
mitted to vote for members of the con-
stitutional convention. Mr.. SIBERIAN
voted for the bill containing that provis-
ion. Was there ever a more impudent
pretext than that used by the Republi-
cans to keep out Minnesota? States
