THE OHIO SENATOR ELECT.

1t affords US very great satisfaction to re-
cord the fact that Salmon P. Chase of Ohio is
to resume his place i'll the Senate of the United
States. His election took place yesterday. Mr..
Pugh will retire; and Ohio, with Chase and
Wade in the national Senate, will be so noby
represented that she may very pardonably in
dulge herself in a large amount of selfesteem.
Mr.. Chase began his political work as a MEM
Der of the old Liberty party" and therefore
was not in such relations to either of the two
leading parties of the country as to be honored
and put forward by either of them But he
won a great reputation in Ohio as lawyer,
and was universally esteemed for his great
personal worth. He is one of the ablest and
most incorruptible men in the country and II
he had been for years in the Senate, to be
known and talked about by the people, we
should not think of any other as his superior,
and of but others as his equals. When first
placed in the Senate he Immediately became
one of the most important members of that
body As Governor of Ohio he has grown in
public reputation and henceforth he will be
counted among our greatest men, for there can
be no question as to how he will be felt in the
affairs of the nation.

CoRoNER's INoUEsT-The coroner's jury
which held an inquest upon the body of Mrs.
Cottrell, whose violent death we noticed We'd
nesday, returned a verdict of death by intern
perance and neglect. The unfortunate woman
and her husband had been victims of inebria-
ton, and their home, if it could be called such
bore evidences of pcnury and restitution
With the ruling passion strong even in death,
the unhappy woman died in the midst of her
shame and folly.
The Police CoURT.-The salary OF Judge
Bradbury of the Police Court has been in

in the town of HopkiDton.
FIRE.-On Wednesday morning last the
green house belonging to VIM. W. Cook, of
Hopedale, was consumed by fire. The loss is

been caused by fire used to protect the valua-
bic plants from the frost.

Two democratic papers in Minnesota, the
Winona Democrat and the St. Anthony Ex-
press, say that Mr.. Douglas has nothing to
hope for from the Charleston delcg ltion from
that state. The editor of the ST. Paul Pioneer
the central Douglas organ-was a candidate
for Charleston honors, but was defeated by
decided majority.
The New Orleans Bulletin in noticing the
fact that the principal Of the Louisiana military
college at Alexandria is a brother of John
Sherman, the Republican candidate for Speak
err of the House, remarks on the curious inter
miugling Of American society, which separates
members of the same family so widely in resi-
dence and in politics. 1t is not easy to divide
a Union when the people are interlocked in
this way.
Gov. Perry of Florida, like Gov. Stewart of

Il u y Z . . II z 2 TT
SENATE


The motion to reconsider the vote whereby
the bill setting off part of the town of North
field, and annexing it to Irving, was ordered
to be engrossed, elected another two hours
debate, during which Messrs. WHITING of
Plymouth, BAILEY of Worcester, and HoTcH.
KISS of Franklin, spoke in favor of reconsid-
Grafton, and Messrs. ODIoRNE of Suffolk Til
TON of Essex, EDDY of Worcester, NORTON of
Middesex, and UNDERWOOD of the Cape Dis
trict, against it. On the vote being taken, the
motion to reconsider was lost-S to Is. The
other business was of little general interest.
HOUSE.
The bills concerning the free public library
of the city of Worcester, and the mileage and
compensation of members of the Legislature,
were passed to be enacted. The report on the
Concord and Sudbury meadows was referred
to Messrs. Taylor of Chicopee, Bishop of Len
nox, Sanborn of Rockport, Pratt of Worces-
ter, and Stoughton of Gill.
Petitions were presented from David Stand
ley and 125 others of Beverly Edward Flint
and 231 others of Leicester George w. Stacy
and Al others of Milford; Henry Abbott aud
Is others of Amherst; William Whiting and
SO others of Concord, for a law against slave
hunting in Massachusetts. An order of in
quiry was adopted relative the eXpediency of
providing by law that assessors and overseers
of the poor shall be elected for three years in
stead of one.
The report of the Committee on Banks and
Banking adverse to the petition foranother saw
ings bank i'll Boston, elected much discus
sion, and was recommitted with instructions to
report a bill. The resolves concerning the
Massachusetts representatives in Congress
came up, when Mr. Burrill of RoXbury offer
ed the following resolves as a substitute -
Resolved, That it is not the appropriate business
Of this louise, when in session Tor the purposes of
legislation to pass resolutions of praise censure in
relation to the proceedings of other legislative bod
les, territorial, state, national.
Resolved, That in legislative proceedings, section
al issues and the controversies of political parties
have no place, and should not be permitted TO dis
turb the dspassionate reflections and harmonious
operation of those appointed to act deliberately
wisely, and for the best good of the whole.
Resolved, That we cannot as individuals publicly
approve of the conduct of representatives, who
pertinaciously adhere to man Speaker of the
House of Representatives in Congress who ayows
directly or by endorsement, that there should be
cooperation with pro-sayery poticians-no fellow
ship with them in religion utilization with them
i'll society.
Mr. KIMBALL of Boston said he did not
think the members from Massachusetts need
ed instruction as to their duties, and he there
foro moved to lay the subject on the table.
Agreed to.

Town OFFTCERs.-The subject of electing
Selectmen, Assessors, and 0verseers of the
Poor for three years, instead of one, has been
preached in the Legislature, and referred to
the appropriate committee for consideration.
The subject is not new one, and it is not
unlikely that the proposal will now meet with
the same disposition it has met before, and be
lost in the sweeping Judgement nexpedient
to legislate." Still the plan is eminently
worthy of consideration, and must, we think
ultimately be adopted 1t contemplates, of
course, the election of a third part of each
board annually, to continue in office for three
years, SO that, except in extraordinary cases,
there will not be occasion, at any time, to elect
new officers entirely. The obvious advantages
of continuing boards of officers TO have charge of
important educational, prudential, or financial
interests are THAT it ensures a higher grade of
qualifications for these places it guards against
errors and mscalculations to which inexperi-
ence is always exposed, and prevents sudden
changes Of policy, which, in small commune
ties, are ottener promotive Of local strife than
OF any lasting or permanent good There are
objections, not to be lightly set aside, to long
terms OF Office 1t is possible for a person to
obtain the lighter Offices, for whom three hours
would be quite too long term, for any service
he could render for the public good But
that is one Of those things which paturallv
regulates itself If the people are called to nut
greater trust in their public servants they ara
naturally the more cautious in selecting the re-.
positories Of that trust. In the cases proposed.
especially in relation to assessors and overseers
of the poor, we believe the plan would work
to the advantage of the towns, and that il
ought to be adopted
