Another Of these periodical displays Of South

will be a counterpart of the one held last year

The late General Assembly of Ohio, very

The law provides that whoever shall carry q

guilty of misdemeanor, and on the conviction
ofthe first oGense shall be fined not exceeding

not exceeding $500, or imprisonment in the
county Jail not more than three months or both

The law further provides, that if it shall ap'

CHEAP FREIGHTs.-The Cincinnati Gazette
states that the West will gain a million of dol
lars by the reduction in freights; the railroads
having done for western sellers what eastern
buyers obstinately refused to do, created ship
ping margin for western products.
The Pit tsburgh Gazette complains that places
situated like that city gather nothing but injury
from the change. The rates to and from Pitts
burgh are not reduced The West reaps all the
benefit. For instance, the Pennsylvania Road
is carrying freight from points l5O miles west
of Pittburgh for 26 cents hundred, and charq-
es any shipper at Pittsburgh, for the same
freight, 35 cents from Pittsburgh to Philadel-
phia The Gazette supposes the same discrm.

Pital. We learn from the Tribune that Mrs.
Ann Martin, who, for a number of years, has
been a market-woman in that city, has devoted

and her interest in another piece Of ground
amounting 70 $1,000, 30 the same benevolent

A thorough organization OF the party in Kansas
is contemplated.
Kansas is noted as the graveyard of Demo-
cratic Governors, and it appears that the Pres-
Dental sexton has already begun a hole in the
ground for Gov. Medary. A Lecompton cores
pondent of the st. Louis Democrat says there
is likely to be a small schism in the Democratic
church in Kansas and adds:
Sammedary, poor man, seems to have fallen
under ban, at Washington. lreally cannot un-
derstand what the poor men who make up the
Cabinet at Washington, expect that Territori
al Governor can do do for them, but there is no
sensible reason why they should complain of
Sammedary II is reported that Sammedary is
to be removed, or frightened into resignation -
think it is doubtful if they can do the latter
So they want another fre-eater! The "Old
Wheel Horse" is not a fire eater. He is too
timid for that Then he wants to maintain at
least the appearance of decencY. No Kansas
Governor was ever forgiven for having the inn
pudence TO desire to appear decent Few of
them have ever labpTed under any drawback of
that kind, but some of them have meeky en-
deayored to squeeze in a very small fragment of

Governor is blamed for signing the amnesty act,
and for coming TO Lawrence, and, in short, for
not gong to the extreme figure generally.

The Journal supposes this was Sal, 900 when
the Senate committee reported the bill, and that
the forty was dropped in the hurry of engross-
ing the bill SO that it could be put through in a
single midnight session, The bill signed by
the presiding officers is the law, and it is too
late to rectify the mistake In case the canals
are not leased an extra session will be neces-
sary to appropriate money to keep them in op-
Grafton. The Republican members protested
against this hasty and dangerous legislation,
but were forced by democratic party drill to
vote on a measure ofmueh importance, without
being allowed any time for examination or de.
liberation OF course their votes were record
ed in the negative.

The Dealer Of tho 9th has the following mo-
tioe Of an expedition 10 Utah, which is being
fitted out in this quarter on quite an extensive
scale
Our enterprising friend, Mr. i. J. Randall, Of
Chardon, Geauga Co, Ohio, to-day sent by cars
from this city 10 81 Louis, forty new lumber
two-horse wagons, az a train for Salt Lake City
At st. Louis they are to be seat by the Missou
ri River 10 Omaha City, Nebraska, At Omaha
City the wagons are to be freighted with mer-
chandize for Merchants in Salt Lake City, Utah
Mr. Alfred Randall brother who went with
the Mormons TO Salt Lake, from Nauvoo, and
who has lived there since, returned to Chaldon
last fall, and from his information the present
Train was started. M. A. Randall is now in Iowa
buying $50 head Of oxen to complete the Train.
The men to accompany the Train 20 from {
region and will leave this city on the 10th inst
for Omaha City, and il Is expected the train will
be ready to leave that point on the first of May.
From the representations Of the parties this
will be a money making business, and with the
observation and experience Of Mr.. Alfred Ran
dali, we should judge that he was well qualified
TO conduct and manage an enterprise of this
character, and the shrewdness of Mr. /. j. Ran
dali would not permit him to allow such an op-
portunity to slip through his fingers
They calculate their cattle and wagons will
bring more than original cost after their arrival
at Salt Lake City. Their freightis already con
tracted at SIS per hundred pounds Each wagon
is to carry 1000 lbs. The wagons are very ex-
cellent lumber wagons, with iron axles, and so
different from the Government wagons general
y that they will be in demand at Salt Lake City,
| while the Government wagons, on account OF
their great and useless weight can be sold only
for what the irons on them are worth.
Mr.. Bradley Parlin, of Chardon and Mr.. Al
fred Randall of Salt Lake City, will have charge
of the Train.
With ordinary luck they will make a good
thing of it. Success to such enterprises.
