Lieutenant GOvernor-.Mr. Wei
ker

II has been understood for some time
past that our present able Lieutenant Gov
ernor declines being candidate for re-nom-
ination for that office. This determine
ton will be universally regretted by the
Republicans of Ohio, who would rejoice in
continuing him in position which he has
filled so satisfactorily to them, and so cred
itably. Mr. Welker has been distinguish
ed for the courtesy, impartiality and abili-
tv which have characterised his official
course as the presiding officer of the Sen
ate; and if it had not been generally un-
derstood that he would not consent to he
candidate for reelection, some of the
gentlemen who are candidates for the sue
cessorsbip would not have allowed their
names to have been suggested in that con-
nection. This is the case with most of
them, if not all of them. The present in
cumbent is eminently entitled to such an
expression of continued confidence and ap-
proval, without doubt, would be cordially
bestowed, if it were not understood that it
would not be accepted. AS was announc-
ed some weeks ago, the demands of Mr..
Welker's profession exact so much of his
time that hisAcceptance of that office for
second term would involve sacrifices, that
in his opinion, he cannot consistently make.
We sincerely y regret that such is the cause,
for in honoring such men, party honors
tself. State Journal.

Cuba Killed in the Ohio House.

The Democrats in the Ohio House of
Representatives have been playing Slidell
on his $50, 100000 Cuba corruption bill,
and have also slid it out On Friday they
forced through resolution ander the pre-
vious question endorsing the Cuba scheme
in the fullness ofits iniquity, but on SatGr.
day took "a sober second thought" and al
lowed a reconsideration of the vote Dis
cussion and motions TO amend followed,
and a substitute offered by Mr.. Harrison,
Republican, denouncing the Presidents
Cuban policy and instrucling our Senators
to vote against SlidelPs bill failed by only
two votes. Finally an amendment to the
second of the resolutions, offered by Mr..
Plants, providing that the acquisition of
Cuba shall be accomplished without war
or dishonor, and with tho consent of the
people, was adopted by two majority. The
journal says:
"This unexpected turn of affairs disen-
heartened and disgusted the Ostenders,
who seemed to think that such trihing con-
siderations as an expensive and aggressive
war. tho dishonor of our national faith and
the wishes of the people, should not stand
in the way of acquisition. These condi-
.ions not being acceptable to them, Mr.,
Brooke moved the indefinite postponement
of the resolution; whsreupon majority
took him at his word, and the motion was
carried by a vote of 35 to 25.
Evidently the Ostend programme of the
Administration is revolving 10 the better
sense of some of the representatives of the
Ohio Democracy. At least they fear TO
go before an honest people on so attrocious
an issue.

A brief Chapter Of Blood.

n feud for some time had existed be-
tween Capt. Thos. ]. Lowe and C. Max
well, Esq, of HawesvilIe, Ky. The last
week the parties got into a fight at the
courthouse, during which pistols were fired
freely; man named Aldrich was shot
dead, and Lowe was wounded and taken
to jail. A mob attacked the Jail, got pos
session and riddled Lowe with some twen-
ty bullets.
A worse than Borgia poisining case has
occurred at Bennettsville, s. G. On the
oath ult., Messrs. John McCallom, John
Graham and A. Graham drank together At
the grocery of John c. Terrill. They i'm,
mediately became distressed, physicians
were called in, but could not save them
Terrill had poisoned the whiskey with
strychnine to prevent his victims from tes,
tifying against him touching fraudulent
endorsement by which he had obtained
large stock of goods. The elder Graham
was the grandfather of Terrill.
Mrs. GERHARD, aged 2s, wife of Emanuel
Gerard, Hungarion tobacconist in Gin
cinnatt, killed herself on Friday evening in
the presence of her husband and others in
their cigar store, by discharging q pistol
she held to her right temple. They had
had an alteration, using harsh language on
both sides, the husband charging her with
conjugal in6delity. The parties occupied
a good social position, the wife being de-
scended from q noble Hungarian family.

Adjournment of Congress.

The telegraph gives rather confused ac-
count of what was done and what was not
done during the closing hours. Most OF
,he necessary appropriation bills appear to
maze become laws, so that we trust no oc-
easlon exists for calling an extra session Of
Congress, though the President seems to
have prepared a Proclamation for the an
ticipated emergency.
The miscellaneous appropriation bill
passed and contains section which xtends
the Treasury note law two years, though
the loan bill appears to have been lost
This will help -. B." somewhat in his f.
nancial troubles. The Coast Survey, Light
Houses, survey of public lands, and taking
the next census, appear to be provided for.
Also the existing contracts for carrying the
mails to California via Panama and Tehuan-
tepec.
The appropriation for the Ocean mail
service, the Post Office Appropriation and
the Post Route bills, failed TO become laws.
The Post Office bill appropriated about
S2O,OOO,O00. This failure will probably
cut short the Overland routes, We are
glad to record that the Democratic policy
of increasing Postage rates was killed dead
in the House.
With strong Democratic majorities in
both branches of Congress, the session has
been little else but succession of Admin
istration defeats and humiliations. The
party has been disorganized as well as de-
moralized; split up into all sorts of factions,
incapable of carrying any measure as par
ty. The President made extraordinary
demands in his regular message, and has
since repeated them. None have been
granted. His Proteetorates, Cuba millions,
command of army and navy to make war
at pleasure, loan bills, and tariff changes,
have been denied him, by his party friends.
Enormous Administration frauds and cor
ruptions have been exposed; and the Slave
ry agitation evoked by the Executive anti
Kansas TRADE, has ruled more fercely and
more sectionally than ever in both branches
of Congress. A new State has been ad-
mitted, but neither Arizona, Dakota, nor
Jefferson have been organized as Terrific
ries. Was ever Administration so exacling,
so blundering, SO imbecile, so poverty -strick-
en-, and so proftless to the People of the
Union? There are few indeed save office
holders and office expectants who "do it
reverence" e."-Daily Leader.

The --latest Washington Out
rage.

A serious affray occurred in the office at
Willards Hotel the evening of the Sd be-
tween F. P. Lander and William Magraw,
both warm friends of President Buchanan,
and both enriched by official spoiis. A
year ago Magraw was appointed Superin-
tendent of the Great Central Wagon Road,
and Lander Engineer of the expedition.
Magraw abandoned the enterprise and join
ed Col. Johnston's forces. Recently he
has been officially removed and Lander ap-
ointed Superintendent of the road. An
account of the affray says:
Owing to some personal difficulty be-
tween them, Lander challenged Magraw,
but the affair was settled without fight.
Tonight Magraw attacked Lander with a
slungshot, and struck him several times,
wounding him severely about the head
Lander rallied and threw Magraw, and
witnesses informs me would have punished
him severely, if not fatally, had he not been
taken off when he exclaimed. II am a
Massachusetts, man and nnarmed; l have
challenged the scoundrel, and he refused to
fight me, and now he assaults me with a
slung-shot." This exclamation soon en-
listed the sympathies of the by-standers
for Lander. Magraw was taken away by
his friends, and Lander was conveyed to
his lodgings badly wounded. The latter
belongs to Salem, Massachusetts.

The COshOctOn Meet
ing of the Taxpayers.

| A large and respectable meeting was
held at Coshocton on Saturday, called to
express public opinion in regard to the rob-
berry Of the county treasury. Space conf
pels us to omit the preliminary proceed
ings. The following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
| WHEREAS, The Treasurer Of Coshocton
county, our esteemed fellow citizen, SAM
uel Ketchum, WAS, on the night of the 2lst
of January, suddenly assaulted and over
powered, and the Treasury robbed of up
wards of $4,000 of the public money
and,
WHREAs, BY decision of the Supreme
Court, it is supposed the said Treasurer
and his securities would be liable for the
amount so taken and, whereas, if COM
PEELED to pay this large amount, Mr.. Ketch-
um would be reduced to poverty, and sew
eral of his sureties seriously impoverished /;
therefore
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Gosh
octon county, of all parties. the neighbors
and personal acquaintance Of Samuel
Ketehum, do hereby express our full conf
dence in his honesty and integrity as man
and citizen, and bear testimony to the
prompt, obliging and efficient manner in
which he has, during the past three years,
discharged all his official duties. and that
no circumstance connected with the late
robbery has in the least diminiahed our
confidence in the man, but rather enlisted
the strongest sympathies of our nature in
his behalf.
Resolped, That we believe it would be
improper and unmerciful for the people, or
their authorities, to exact from Mr.. Ketch-
um and his securities, under all the circum-
stances as known to US, the payment Of
the amount of which the Treasury was rob-
bod.
Resolued, That while we will, as citizens
use all lawful means, and all our energies
to ferret out the hiding place, and bring
to condign punishment the robbers, and re-
cover the money, we recommend that the
Legislature of Ohio, and the Commission
ers of Coshocton county, take such steps as
may be necessary to relieve Mr. Ketchum
and his sureties from the legal responsible
ty resting upon them, and that provision
may he made for such judicial examina-
ton into the circumstances of the robbery
as may be necessary to satisfy every doubt
ing mind of the truth in regard 10 the mat
ter.
RESOLVED, That the commissioners of
Coshocton county be furnished with a copy
of the proceedings of this meeting and be
requested to record them upon their jour
nal.

sE-The Tbirty-6fth Congres. has pass.

HThe IhIrty-nith congress mas pass
ed from existence, a blessing, in our judg-
mcnt, for which the whole country should
be profoundly grateful. The late Session,
in many respects, was but aprolonged Ma
tional disgrace and ifever its doings and
undoings are to have their proper places in
history, Demagogueism, Fraud, Corrup-
ton, and persistent neglect of the public
interests, will run all through the record,
from beginning to end. The whole Sess-
ion, until within week of adjournment,
may be said to have been frittered away
doing nothing, or worse than nothing; and
for the default we charge that the Demo
cratic party, which had controlling voice
in both Houses, is chiefly responsible
Schemes, in themselves of the most repre-
hensible and impracticalble character-
were constantly thrust forward, to the ex-
clusion and detriment of the practical de-
details of legislation; and, as necessary,
if not intended consequence, all the most
important business of the Session, inclu-
ding the appropriation bills, was deferred
till the eleventh hour, when it had to be
transacted heller skelter, or not transacted
at all.

g The cause and the remedy for the

S The cause and the remedy for the
troubles in unfortunate Mexico are given in
few words by the New York Times of
March l: "The sorrows of Mexico are due
not so much to her wants as to her super
tiuities. She has an army, or collection
of armies, too many. If it were possible
not only to disband the entire crew of idle
vagabonds, soldiers, and officers, who oc-
cupy themselves in creating ''plans" and
programmes" in running about the coun-
try fighting bloodless battles in support of
their "prouuuciameDtos," and eating up
the produce of the land in their own
Mexico would be paciied Immediately. If
it were further possible to set all the of
fees (who would appear to be the most
numerous portion of the Mexican army to
work at the plough, and the priyates to hoe
corn and gather plaintains, Mexico would
soon be prosperous.
