GiddiI gs in Prison /!

The Hon. Joshua R. Giddings was in
Cleveland on last Monday week, On his way
to Columbus, and stopped over to visit the
incarcerated Twenty. He called shortly
before noon, and being invited BY the gen.
tlemanly Sheriff to stay and dine with the
prisoners, replied: 81 have already excused
myself from a number of invitations, en- the
ground that came here on purpose to see
tie indicted, and could entaDge myself
with nothing until my visit 10 them was Sc
cured; but certainly must allow myself SO

And as to the fare furnished, he facetiously
intimatec that constitutions of ordinary ell

Odd Fellows Demons stration.

Notwithstanding the very incement wea ther of
Tuesday. the anniversary celebration of the Odd
Fellows, was an exceedingly creditable affair
A large number of delegates from the Lodges of
Mariinsvile and Bridgeport were in attendance
and participated in the celebration. At abou 2
O'Clock I'm the afternoon the members OF the Order
accompanied the Band, and a great crowd OF
spectators, proceeded to the Court House, TO hear
an Grafton by the Rev. DR.. G. CYRUS SEDG WICK, OF
Martinsville, who was introduced 10 the au dience
by CLIFFORD ARIcK. Esq, N. G. of St. Clairsvilie
Lodge. Mr.. SIS grafton was fine In its concep.
ion. and exceedingly fecious in its expression
1t is unnecessary to say, at least to those who
acquainted with the speaker, that the address was
characterized by lofty tone throughout. His
handling of many popular objections to Odd Eel.
lowship seemed, to one from our stand point, very
ing genious and able. while the arguments he ad
duced in support of his position were convincing.
In concluding, he protrayed in glowing colors the
beauties and the benign influence of the Order
wherever established. The Grafton was
cloth-d in the most elegant diction. and was
altogether most decided success Mr. ] SEDewIcE
spoke for about one hour, and held the undivided
attention o the large audience. Quite number
of ladies graced the occasion with their presence,
which added materially 10 the eclat of the affair.
After concluding the Grafton. the audience was
dsm missed, when tie members Of the Order were
marshaled back to their Lodge room; and thus
ended the demonstration, 1t least TO US outsiders

GTHe Apalachicola (Florids) Advertise,
is very decided in its advocacy of the policy
of stealing negroes at first hand, rather than
of lncurring the expense of buying of breed
ers at present high prices. 1t rather errs.
however. in thinking it is the North which
stands in the way of that policy. 1t is the
border Slave States whose object to free
trade in negroes.
until the slave trade is opened and made
legal, the South viii push Slavery forward
as seasoning for every dish; and whether
the North likes it or not, like the Spanish
with the garlic, it will have to be tasted in
every course at the table. This is the set
tied and determined policy of party at the
South. We do not pretend 10 belong to
the ultra Southern Party, but we believe it
is duty which the General Government
owes 10 the South, that the sIaso-trsde
should be legitimate, that her vast domain
should receive cultivators.''

The case was conducted throughout with sigma
ability upon both sides The examination OF the
witnesses was very rigid, and in turn the cross
examination by the opposing counsel was unmer'

Mr. DANFoRDs opening speech for the proseeu'
tion was scathlng-a terrible maledction upon the
accused. The Court Room was filled to sufioca'

spectators gave him their undivided attention. II
was good speech-decidedly good speech; pro-
nounced so by all who listened TO it. We heard but
q small portion of MIR. SwANEYs defense. and none
of MIR. TALLMANs, although they have both been
ingenious and able arguments. Mr..
SwASEY finished his argument at about il.l5 at
night On SATURDAY. morning. Mr.. TALLHAN con-
cluded for the Defense and after anoihet argument
by the Prosecuting Attorney, the case was submit

The jury retired its chamber at abou. ii o'clock

The Kansas Legislature, it is generally
known, passed bill abolishing slavery in
that Territory. Fei want Of Gov. Medary 8
signature, it did not become law. Either

The Baxters' Trial,


For the slaying Of fTHos. THOMPSON, was opened
IN the Common Pleas on Friday morning lasl,-
Judge MaRsH presiding. Lorenzo DASFoRD, ESQ.,,
Prosecuting Attorney, conducted the prosecution,
and Messrs P. TALLMAN and o. J. SwaHEY appear
eS for the prisoners.
II Ia unnecessary for us TO recount in detail, the
Killing of Mr.. THOMPSON, and the attending. cir-
scumstances, which we gave at the :ime OF the oc-
curence, since the short time intervening between
the affray and the srraignment Of the accused
leaves those matters fresh in the minds Of our read
ers JAMES BAXTER. the elder Of the prisoners, is
apparently about forty years age. and hasa rough
repulsive ceun,enauce. Quite number OF Wit
nesses however testified to his previous good char
acter BRAxsoS BAXTER who is arraigned with
his father is boy of about sixteen years of age
nnd rather an innocent looking boy; one whom the
casual observer would least suspect guilty OF the
terrible crime for which he Is arraigned.
Il appears that after the affrny took place, the
BAxrERs appesred before Esq JONES, and nsked for
a State Warrant to be issued against Thomson
Failing 10 induce that Magistrate to issue va
rant. the elder perseveringly appeared before Esq
ALEXANDER, who, after some delay, finally consent
ed TO issue the warrant 1t further seems from the
testimony, shat when the elder BAxrIR appeared
before Eco. JONES, he was apparently unhurt, bu'
when confronted with Esq. ALEXANDER he wa.
bleeding profusely from wound on the side Of his
face This WINS but few moments nfter his un'
successful interview with Justice JONES, and upon
the evening o. the same day on which the affray
took place. The officer in whose hands Justice
AIxxANpERs warrant was placed, of course found
i, impossible TO bring the alledged culprt before
the Magistrate and returned the warrant unserved
The next scene in the tragedy presents the BAx
TIERS in Limbo, and in less than two weeks near
iy all of which time he delirious) the remain:
Of the unfortunate THOMPSON nre consigned to the
grave. AL this took place early in March.

bELLA1RE, April 2lSt, lS59.
EDITOR CHRONICLE: At the regular meet
ing of the Board OF Education of this town
ship. held OF the 18th inst, resolution was
offered and passed condemning the appro-
priation of money, and in fact the whole
system of Public Libraries, as adopted by
the 8 ate. An additional resolution was also
passed for the publication of the same in
the county papers; but for this last resolu-
tion would have remained silent, but not
wishing the idea to get abroad that such
sentiments are generally endorsed here, or
that we have retrogarded so far into the
dark ages, l would briefly state the facts:
Our Board is composed of nine membess,
Of which eight members were in attendance.
Mr.. John Kelly in the chair. Seven votes
were given on the resolutions. four for, and
three against. The names of those voting
for them are J. w. Milligan. Boston Roush.
John Johnston and Jos. Hutchinson. The
names of those voting against are William
Tarbott, Samuel Cunningham and myself
Thus it will be seen, Mr. Editor, that at
best, there is but four individuals can be
claimed as holding those sentiments, and
tha, there is not majority of the Board in
favor, thereof. Above all, would protest
against being published to the world as be.
ing so far behind the age, and I believe the
general sentiments of the people of this
township accords with mine in this respect.

WIRE FOR CLOTHES LlNEs.-Those who
have realized the difficulties ever attending
the use of cords and ropes for holding clothes
while drying. will be grati6ed to learn that
galvanized wire, or that which is coated
with zinc, furnishes most excellent sub
stitute. 1t is not affected by the changes of
the weather-will not soil the clothes-caa

cad being attached to a cord around small
