RcstorIne the Canal Contrncts.

The black democracy of Ohio, not salts
fed with stealing three-fourths Of million
from the state treasury, are determined to
do what they can to again place the treas
urp robbers in power. On the 18th the bill
TO rcinstate the contractors upon the public
works in their contracts, was reported back,
amended according to instructions, and a
call of the House being had, the bill was
put upon its passage and resulted:
YEAs-Messrs Andrews, Bagley, Bates,
Bigony, Blackburn, Brooke, Chase, Cheney,
of Franklin, Clarke, Collins, Cox of Perry,
Cowan, Edison, Finefrock, Frazee, Gibson,
Glasgo, Hitch, Hughes of Butler, Hughes
of Highland, jackson, Jenner, johnson,

Of Hamilton, Rose, Satin, Sangster, Seney,
Slusser Stout, Thompson, Waugh, West

Wilson, Winner, Wright and Spcaker-54.

So the bill passed by majority, and a
strict party vote-with the exception of the
Democrats, in italic, in the negative. Its
passage through the Senate is considered
somewhat doubtful, as it is understood that
three democratic senators are hostile TO the
measure.

1t is thought that a clue to the perpetra-
tor Of the late shocking murder and bank
robbery, at jackson, Tennessee, has been dis
covered. a strange horse had been left at
a livery stable in the town, just previous to
the time the double crime was committed,
and not being called for for several days,
suspicion was aroused and efforts made to
ascertain by Mhoin the beast had been left
The horse was finally Identified as being one
which a young man named Irwin Tor lryin,)
had been seen riding. This individual hal
been stopping at the house Of his father, in
jackson, ever since the murder was commit
ted. On the morning after this information
reached the officers, they proceeded to the
old mans residence to arrest the son, but
learned that be had left on the morning
train. Dispatches were immediately sent
after him. ana be was stopped by the sher-
Iifi at Bolivar, aRd returned to Jackson
The denial Of his name, and the possession
upon his person Of a large amount Of mon.
ey in gold, and Union Bank bills, confirmed
the suspicious of bis connection with The
murder aud robbery. He was TO have beer
examined last week,

Near Tagsnrcg, on the Sea Of AzoG a
catastrophe occurred, about the beginning
Of February last, which involved loss Of
life unparalleled except by memorable earth
quakes or volcanic eruptions. II appears
that some three Thousand inhabitants Of
Taganroa, relying upon the promise Of fair
weather made by tie genial atmosphere
and the cloudless sky, proceeded to the
Azoff Sea to indulge in the sport Of fishing
beneath the ice--a fayoriLe pastime OF that
region. The atmosphere continuing serene,

ity, and yentnrod furthur than usual upon
the ice, in the hope of obtaining good

We learn from the New York papers
that the body of Hon. Mike Walsh, whose
violent death was reported by telegraph,
was found lying at the foot Of a fight of
stone basement steps, on Eighth Avenue,
about five o'clock Thursday morning, by a
police officer. He had been robbed of a
gold watch aud chain, va'ued at S40O,--the
gift of the widow of the late George Steers,
and diamond ring. When found the
body was yet warm. A post neortem ex-
animation was had, which developed the
fact that lacerated wound, about an inch
and half in length, on the back part of
the head was the only visible external in
Jury. The examining physicians pronounc-
ed his death the result of congestion of the
brain; but whether congestion preceded or
succeeded the fall, it was of course impossi-
bic to determine. No evidence has yet
been elected accounting for his whereabouts
after o'clock Thursday morning. In the
early part Of the evening he called on Vice
President Breckenridge, at the New York
Hotel. Still later he was in company with
Mr.. George Wilkes, of P0rter's Spirit q
tie Times and one or two intimate friends
Mr.. Wilkes parted with him in front of the
Jones House in Broadway, near Astor
place, about 2 O'Clock in the morning. II
is not known that he was seen alive by any
one after this time.

Albany, March 20.
Tho accident on the Great Western r. R.,
happened between Marlborough and Dun
das. The storm had washed away the
bank, and the engine ran into chasm near
" 20 feet deep, carrying with it the bag
gage aud two passenger cars. The scene
was horrible one; terrible storm was
raging at tho time, and q torrent Of water
was rushing through the chasm. There
was tho utmost difficulty in roscuing the
the dead and succorihg the wounded. The
night express train passed over the spot in
safety only half an hour previously. The
killed arc as follows: Jonas Boyer Of Chi
caga Alex. Brand, Of Hamilton, g. Morgan
and w. Mlna, brakesmcn, and two Others
whose names arc not reported.
Among the wounded, some of whom are

Whom in The formation Of the Federal
Constitution, an implied but unwilling re-
cognition was given TO the false and evil
principle ofproporty in man, then and there
the germ Of g mighty struggle which was
to shake this nation from center TO cirepm-
ference, was planted. On one hand il was
declared in the great bin of rights that man
without regard to color or condition, is man; /;
that as man he is endowed with certain in
alionable rights, among which are life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness. On the
other hand it was painfully aud reluctantly,
and without the use of the word slave, pro.
vidcd that persons "held to service" eseap-
ing from one state to another should be re-
turned. Thus the two hostile ideas of lib
erty and slavery were set over against each
other, and to the generations that were to
come after, was left the work of reconciling
those contending principles, or Of bringing
them to deadly combat. The hope of peace
between them has proved utterly fallacious.
Union savers of every degree have cried
peace, peace, but there is no peace. The
contest between these hostile ideas has now
involved every state Of the Union, swallow
cd up every other political question; over
thrown every political party that has ig-
nored it; shattered the hopes of every man
who has attempted to patch it; and to-day
is the one absorbing question of American
politics. Fogies of all shades of politics
cry out against agitation. They want to
paddle their little canoes in more quiet wa
tiers, but the contest RACES, and will rage, till
liberty triumphs and slavery is expelled.

Postmaster General Browns Prediction
A Curious Coincidence.

A Curious Coincidence.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
relates the following singular anecdote:
In his office, on last Saturday four weeks,
an incident took place, the solemn verifica-
ton Of which vividly revives it in the mind
Of the only survivor Of the three gentlemen
present at the interview.
Postmaster General Brown was signing
his official journal-his clerk standing on
his left, turning over the the pages as each
signature was affixed. Mr.. Marron, then
the Third Assistant Postmaster General,
having under charge at tbat critical period
the important responsibilities of the finance
division, entered the room TO obtain Mr
Browns signature to draft. Turning to
the right be clleerfuly signed tho paper, and
Mr.. Marion was retiring, when the head of
the Department remarked, "Marron, | wish
YOU would come in aud sec me when get
through with this"
Being then long after the usual Office
hours, Mr.. NJ. turned and said, "Do you
wish me to see you again to-day, slr?-
Eyes" replied Mr.. Brown; 81 want to know
If you have set your house in order; for in n
month or less, we shall have neither a hah-
itation or a name here Mr. Marou, with
conviction that his official house was al
ways in order, paused momoni, and with
surprise and a smile, remarked, "My house
in orderi"
ayes, sir-your house in order for in a
month or less we shall neither have habi
tation or a name here" "Well, Governor,
replied Mr.. Marion, ''if the storm comes,
can stand it as well as Others" and ther
pleasantly LEFT the room.
The lameuted head of the department
then said that his remarks referred to thC
astion Of Congress indicating the defeat o
inportant measures then under review
How prophetic was tho prediction Of tina
hour! On that very day four weeks th'
efficient assistant was followed to the tomb
and now the statesman from whose lip

The organ of the Spirtualists, down town,
appears to be in high dudgcon about Tie
workings of "the fish law" No doubt it is
about as "5snetfcidl an institution" as the
editors say it is, but is it not very uukind in
them to thus fout a law that was introduced
into and urged through the Legislature by
that immaculate democrat, ]. L. Greene,
who had groped through the darkness Of
Wbiggery for thirty years, and who never
got his eyes open until he discovered that
democracy paid the best. Now that he
complies with all the requiremen ents of the
party, and always votes an "unscratched'
ticket, it is very, very unkind, indeed, to
thus dcmolish the only measure that he
ever pridcd himself upon carrying through
the Legislature. "Alas poor Yoriek."

The Trial of the Thlrty-Seven

Citizens of Lorain indicted for rescuing
and aiding in the rescue of the alleged
slave John Price, has, at the urgent request
of the Prosecuting Attorney, been put
over to April 5th. The adjournment has
cost the defence considerable inconvenience,
and is much regretted by thom. To say
nothing of other considerations, they do
not relish the suspense to which the delay
subjects them. If they are to be punished,
they wish to know it, and be through with
what is before them. Meantime they are

AnaIgamatIon.

The portness of the know-notbing Mes
senger is amusing. He gratuitously lets
his readers into his "horrid fselinks" at the
idea Of amalgamation. One would infer
from his awful agony that he had been ac-
cused Of mixing his blood with the Ethio-
plan. No such thing Frank never did
that. He is guilty of nothing worse than
mixing know-nothingism with democracy,
which some shallow people may think is
nearly as bad We wonder if it won't re-
suit in "a miserable, sickly, copper-colorcd
insignificant compound, with the mark Of
sin stamped upon it." The sins of rebellion
to the best interest of his country, treach-
cry to sworn associates, and moral perjury
are upon his soul. But this kind of stuff,
which the editor so vcrbosely faunts about
amalgamation, has its wicked intent. 1t
imputes amalgamation to the republican
party, while in the same paper he praises
the administration and the party now in
power whose chief object and effort is and
has beer to buy, SELL breed and import Af-
rican slaves into this country; and who
does not know that where slavery exists,
there amalgamation hourishes in all its re-
pulsive deformity. There it is that the
white and black races minge, and the mas
ter sells his only begotten into bondage fol
gain. Yet the trumpeters of the Messenger
and their chosen confederates in political
meanness, would have it inferred that some
other party besides their own advocated
amalgamation.
