CONCEALED WEAPoNs.-As it may not
be generally known that it is now crimi
nal offense in Ohio TO carry concealed weap-
ons, we publish below the first sections
of law passed by the Legislature on the
26th of March, which provides:
1. That whoever shall carry weapon
or weapons concealed on or about his per-
son-such as pistol, Bowe-knife, dirk, or
any other dangerous weapon-shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction for the first offence shall be fined
not exceeding 5000, or imprisoned in the
county Jail not more than three months, or
both, at the discretion of the court.
1t took effect on the first day of the
present month.
And on the sixth day of this present
month Anderson Jennings, a Kentucky
slave-catcher, appeared on the witness stand
in the U. S. Court in this city Of Cleve-
land with revolver in his breeches pocket;
and, on the Sc zenith day of this present
month, Richard P. Mitchell, another slave
hunter, when on the witness stand, boast
ingly displayed bowie knife which he had
concealed about his person. Are these
Kentucky nigger-catchers exempt from
Ohio laws? Have we no State Rights?

.GE The Legislatures of several of the
New England States have lately passed
Personal Liberty Bills" under the provi-
sions of which it will be unsafe for any
slaye-catcher to venture into their borders
inpursuit of their runaway chattle. New
York is also about to have law of this
kind, and the example will fast be followed
by other Northern States.

EyA writer in Household Words thus
describes the personal appearance of Ma
poleon III:
ale is grizzled, cadaverous, and lame
in the left hip, and labors to conceal this
last defect. His walk is awkward. He
turns out his toes, and leans heavily on the
strong stick he carries in. his well-gloyed
hand. He is carefully dressed but, though
his coat fits him very accurately, he has
nothing Of the air of a perfectly-dressed
man. His figure is not improved by the
cuirass which his coat will not conceal
Every step he takes is studied, while his
eye scans every passer:by with a look which
has something uncanny in its expression"

R Amonng the number arrested and
now on trial before the U. s. Court at
Cleveland, for rescuing a slave from the
agent of his owner at Wellington, were
three Democrats. They were indicted
along with the others, but we see by the
Cleveland papers that the indictments
against them have been nolled. The ques-
tion which will naturally come up in the
minds of every one when they hear this,
will be, why is this? Are not Democrats
also to be held accountable for the viola
ton of this infamous law. 1t seems not.

once become familiarized with the revoly-

and the halter. He who habitually carries
deadly weapon hidden upon his person
is already amurdererin everything but the
act, and the act only waits for an opportu-
nifty and little more whisky than usual"

These gentlemen being gathered togeth-
er were requested by the Marshal TO enter
their recognizance for their appearance on
Monday morning. This being objected to,
he, on his own athority ard responsibility,
offered to let them 90 home, if they would
give him their parole of honor that they
would return on Monday morning, with
the exception Of Mr.. Bushnell, whom he
would be obliged to retain. Through Prof
Peck, as their spokesman, and according to
advice oftheir counsel, passed several res
olutions, by which they agreed after due
consultation to inform the Marshall that
inasmuch as tho District Attorney had
placed them in his custody they would re-
main there, until relieved by due course of
law. They, would give no bail, enter no
recognizance, and make no promise to re-
turn to the Court. 81
They said this with hearty thanks to the
Marshal for his courtesy in his treatment
of his prisoners.
This decision having been made known,
the Marshal informed them of the necessi-
ty of placing them in confinement, to
which they made no objection. All this
time the outside passage and halls (the
doors having been kept locked) were crowd
ed with an eager crowd watching and
waiting for an insight into the Temple of
Justice, and waiting for the exodus of the
prisoners. At length the door opened and

The Canal Compact with Ohio.

In 1929 there was q compact made with
the State of Ohio, by which the State Of
Indiana, in consideration of the former
building and maintaining the canal from
the State line to the Lake, surrendered to
her a portion of the lands that the General
Government had donated TO this State to
aid in the construction of the Wabash and
Erie Canal. The agreement made by the
Commissioners appointed by the two States
to arrange for the construction of the work
in Ohio, was subsequently ratified by the
Legislatures of the two States, and the
faith of the contracting parties was pledged
to its observance as perpetual contract,
unless altered or modified by mutual con-
sent of the Legislatures of the two States.
There was no express stipulation on the
part of Indiana to keep up her portion of
the Canal, because she was the party yield
ing the lands. But the inference is legiti-
mate that the obligation was reciprocal. It
was stipulated that Ohio should construct
her portion of the canal, beginning within
five years from January 1st 1880, and fin
ishing it before 1850, and she should keep
up her portion of the canal and give the
people of Indiana the same right to use it
that was enjoyed by her own citizens. 1t
also provided that Indiana should begin
and finish her portion of the canal within
the same periods as Ohio had to complete
hers

Legislative Proceedings.

After the presentation of various petit
tions, and report from the Committee on
Finance, the Senate consumed the remain
der of the forenoon session, on Thursday, in
discussing the validity of the Charter grant
ed the Bank of the State. The afternoon
session was occupied in the same manner.
In the House the forenoon was occupied
in re-issuing and disposing of various re-
ports of Committees, and petitions, none of
which are of particular interest to our read
ers. In the afternoon the following bust
ness came up and was disposed of:
Mr. Edwards, under suspension of the
order of business, presented a petition from
a Convention of the citizens of the State of
Indiana, assembled at Indianapolis, Febrn-
airy 1st, 1859, in reference to the abandon
ment of the Wabash and Erie Canal
Usrey moved its reference to the Commit
tee on Benevolent Institutions.
Robinson moved to amend by indefinitely
postponing it.
Harvey believed we should decide the
question at once.
Hamilton, of Boone had not any evidence

from all parts of the State.
Edwards demanded for the petitioners a
respectful hearing. sat
Collier moved to lay it on the table, to be
taken up and considered when other petit
lions were received. Not agreed to-
Hunter insisted that the State had no
more right to indemnify the men who may
lose property through the abandonment of
the canal by the bondholders, than in
demnify the poor all over the the State.
The vote was taken on the indefinite
postponement of the petition and its sub
ject matter, and stood as follows

SENATORIAL ExTRAvAGANcE AED DIGNITY.
The Senate Chamber at Indianapolis was
supplied with new furniture in the interim
between the adjournment on Saturday and
the meeting on Monday. 1t consists of new
desks, stained in imitation of rosewood, and
covered with purple velvet and large re-
volving arm chairs The change adds very
much to the appearance of the Senate Cham
Der, and gives it quite an aristocratic air
Old members from the rural districts, and
those who are the particular advocates OF
economy, shake their heads at this innova-
ton, which they regard as a great piece OF
uncalled-for extravaganza.
1t appears that some of the Senators find
it as difficult to maintain a seat on the new
revolving chairs as on the back of FESTIVE
colt--for on Wednesday the following reso-
luton was introduced and debated
ResolUed, That the Door-keeper be direct
ed to take the new $40 chairs out of the
Senate Chamber and replace the old ones,
so that Senators will not be put to the
trouble ofpicking themselves up from the
floor to the amusement of the Senate.
