Phelps Kansas Revolutions.

Our Columbus correspondent writes
that Senator Phelps Kansas Resolutions
were "stiiied' in the House, and that
they have not yet found their way to
Washington From the manner in which
they were crowded through, on the gag"
one would think that the salvation Of
the country depended on them aud that
Senator Pugh would certainly die, il he
did not get 'them facts" soon. But al
though the world has been turned agog
toward Washington, fora fortnight. anx-
iouslY awaiting their arrival there, no
tidings came and It turns out that they
are still safely stored away in the Clerks
breeches pocket, awaiting further orders.
The Republicans espisd the tail Of rat
and made several attempts to smoke him
out, but he was there and would not
move. Even the Governor, whose duty
It was made to forward them TO Wash
iugton, has not got sight at the precious
litter. Now why this delay? lf the de-
mNnd was so urgent, as to cut of all de-
bato, why arc they not placed on recordH
What "chauge has come over The spirit
Of their dreams?" Delay is dangerous.

needs the aid and comfort Of that part
which says" we have full confidence in
the disntoresteduess, tho integrity and
the ability Of the Chief Magistrate Of
these United States, and his adminis,ra-
tion commands our cordial and undivided
Support"--Dougas needs the benefit of
that part which says; "rhat our Senators
in Congress are hereby instructed and our
Representatives arc hereby requested to
vote against the admission Of Kansas into
the Union, under the Leeompton Consd-
ton" The Statesmaa, which has shrek.

Ten Per Cent. Law.

We notice that bill has been intro.
duced into the Ohio Legislature to repeal
the present ten per cent. law and to re-
duoe the maximum rate of interest to
seven per cent. The argument used IN
favor Of this reductions is, that capis
invested in legitimate aud uilimriau
projects, such as farms, houses, manuGo.
tories and merchandise, does not oriina
rily realize TO the owner more than seven
per cent. nett profits, and that when
mOnied men are allowed by law to exlori
ten per cent, they will not invest their
means in anything that will promote the
public veal OF develop the solid wealth
Of the country, This argument looks
plausible enough and. granting the pre-.
misses to be trus-that thero must be
statutory HmltNtiou to the price of money,
It would appear sufficient reason for the
change proposed We believe however
that all legal restrictions. placed on the

Mr. Billinghurst emphadcally said thai
he would not while the talk Of South

to know whether the South was to remain

Mr.. Warren said that there was no such

He was a National man. and as a
Southerner. was attached to Southern in,

Mr.. Billinghurst said that lie did not
hold Mr.. Warren responsible for disun-

Legislatlng for Kentnknu.

The lea of the d mocracy in the
Ohio House Of Representatives. M
Brooke, seems to have an idea that he
was chosen especially to represent the
views and feelings Of the Shareholders of
Kentucky, rather than the views Of the
free people Of Ohio. The question with
him is not what the rights Of the people
Of Ohio demand. but what the slavehold-
ers Of Kentucky ask. The repeal Of the
act prohibiting the use Of our iails for
the incarceration OF men charged with no
crime is not demanded by the people OF

Our brethren Of the Press had good

Judge from the reports which have come

other wholesome resolves were passed aud
we hope they will be put in practical ef-
feet throughout the state
Resolved, That il is the interest alike Of
the public and the press, that law be
passed making il imperative upon the
public officers, that in the publication of
advertisements for county or State pur-
poses. they shall be published in two pa
pers Of the county, provided so many are
published therein, and that the prices
therefor should be left by tie Lsgisla-
lure to that freedom other mechanics and
artists enjoy, TO DO governed by their
customary charges
Res0lUed That the Legislature has, in
our opinion, no constitutional right to
leave to coauty officers the power 10 de.
eide what laws shall be made public
through the press; but that the people
have the right TO a full and perfect knowl-
edge Of all general laws enacted by the
Legislature. and of those special laws
applicable to each locality.
