The Ohio supreme Court.

The five Judges of the Supreme Court Of
Ohio are Republicans, three of whom united
in the decision sustaining the constitution
atty of the Fugitive Slave Law The term
of one Of them-Judge SWANS about to
expire, and a successor is to be chosen at
the next State election. Judge Swan was
II candidate for nomination at the recent
Republican Convention, and was opposed
and defeated in convention on account OF
his opinions in the fugitive slave case
This prescription Of an able Judge, for a
conscientious opinion ON a constitutional
question, has created strong feeling among
conservative men of all parties in that
State. The candidate for the Supreme
Bench nominated by the Democrats has not
yet signi6ed his acceptance, and an effort is
being made to induce him to decline aud al
low Judge Swan TO run as an independent
candidate, to he supported by the Democrats
and the conservative Americans and Repub-
leans. Ii this arrangement can be effect
ed, there will lee little doubt of the election
of Judge Swan.

stamps 1t is believed that there are two
persons engaged in this nefarious business;
one which manufactures either from en-
graved or photographed plates and sells new
postage stamps, aud another that gathers
those which have been used from waste
paper collections, and by means of an acid
washes of the post-olfice stamp that was
put on them when they passed through the
Office
Under the present postal system there is
no means of guarding against the first named
evil, for the manufacture OF the postage
stamp is SO simple that one man can make
his plate and produce thousands of sheets
without the aid of single person to dispose
of them. He has only to come into coils
ion with some OF the p0smasters, or their
clerks, of which there are more than fifty
thousand, in all, throughout the country
All of them are entrusted with the sale OF
stamps, and no check can be kept upon
them, for there is no possibility of ascertain
ing how many stamps there are in the
hands of the people.
When these letters are posted, the clerks
have no time to scru:inize the stamps on
them, and they are rapidly defaced with a
black stamp. As the letters with the black
stamps on them pass again into the hands OF
the people, the Department can fern no pos
tive idea as to what extent the fraudulent
stamps are used. The same difficulty of de-
lection attends the re-washed stamps, but
they are supposed TO be used 10 a less ex.
tent than counterfeits, on account Of the
greater facilities for selling them. Effort:
have been made both in this country and in
England, where the same difficulty occurs
to obtain an indellible ink for the purpose
of defacing the used stamps, but without
success; and the inefficiency of our police
system for preventing the operations o
counterfeiters, leaves the manufacturer o
postage stamps TO labor with IMMUNITY.
It's the opinion of persons well versed i:
the affairs of the Post Office Department a
Washington, that these frauds have an in
innate connection with the deficiency in it
revenues, and could the Postmaster Genera
devise some means to stop them, the DE
partment would soon become a selfsustain
ing one.
The only possible manner of doing
seems to be to abolish entirely the use O
postage-stamps, and resort to pre- paymen
by the use of stamped envelopes, whic
should be guarded in their manufacture b.
water marks in the paper, and every othe
continuance and improvement in style an
construction of envelopes which the Post
master General can possibly devise, withou
increasing too much the cost of the enveI
opes to the public
