Murder Trial ,u Portage County.

The trial of Leonard Merchant Price for the
murder of AlansOn Baldwin, of Aurora. was
concluded at RaEenna few days ago, and re-
suited in verdict Of murder in the second de-
gree, Price was sentenced to the Penitentiary
for life, and justly too. Mr. Baldwin was an
old and respected citizen of Aurora, and had
been the beneiaetor of the man who under the
influence Of liquor and passion fatally stabbed
him on the sth of November last. The deed
was without provOcatiOn, and but for liquor
would not have been committed. Price is
about sixty years Of age, and before brutalized
by drink, was quiet, respectable, and gentle
manly man. The Ravenna Democrat says:
In passing sentence upon him, Judge Hof-
man took occasion to remark that in having his
trial delayed, and refusing to enter a plea Of
guilty Of manslaughter, and permitting new
Indictment to be made, he ran a great risk in.
deed; nothing but the reluctance and repug-
nance which Jurors have to returning YER
dict iDficting puniahment by death, prevented
a verdict Of murder IN The first degree being re-
turned against him.
Price received his sentence in stolid silence.
During his incarceration in the county jail, he
has been very quiet and spent much Of the
time in reading, ard now in his old age, he
suffers the just penalty due his crime, commit
ted from an excessive and long continued in>

Mrs. Beeeher has been suffering most severe

made rapid improvement no fever, pains much

that she will, in a few weeks, be restored to her
former health and strength

slave DIurder Of Hon. W. J.Keitt.

The insecurity of masters in holding fellow
beings in slavery has of late been e1emplihed
by shocking murders in Louisiana, Virginia
and Florida In the latter State, DR.. W. J.
Keitt, member OF the Florida Senate, and a
brother of Hon. L. N. Keirt, Representative
in Congress from South Carolina, was the vic
tim. He was found dead in his room, his
throat cut from ear to ear. The Ocala Com
paniOs, published in the neighbOrhOOd of DR..
K = residence, says:
An inquest was soon held, and it was found
that he had been most brutally murdered by one
OF more of his own negroes The most posi~
tive evidence was obtained against one of the
negroes, and disposition was manifested to
hang him at once; but, with the view of OBJ
tainng proof against the others who are sup
posed to be implicated, he was brought to Jail,
with three others on whom suspicion rests.

Ohio LeEislaruro--NO Adjourned Session

Ohio LegisIature--NO Adjourned Session.
We record with much satisfaction that the
House on Friday by a vote Of more than two
to one, indefinitely postponed the resolution of
the Senate for an adjournment on the 18th of
March to meet again next January. A resOlc-
tion was then adopted instructing the Finance
Committee to report appropriation bills for the
ensuing two years, as early as practicable.
Here are two steps exactly in the right di-
rection, and legislation would now be much
farther and move satisfactorily advanced, had
they been takenAt an early day in the session,
instead of on the sixty-frst. But ''bstter late
than never" The following are the proceed
ings as officially reported, the House having,
on motion Of Mr.. Parsons, taken up the motion
to reconsider the Joint Resolution in relation
to adjournment
Mr. Parsons stated the condition ofthe bust.
ness in the hsnds~o of the committees, and
other facts connected with the session, that re-
quired proper disposition Of the question in
vOlved in this resolution; and be therefore ex-
pressed the hope that the vote would be recon
sidered and settled earnestly and seriously
now.
Mr.. Woods asked Mr. P to give some rea-
sons for an Adjourned session. He said he had
heard none given as yet, and he called for the
reasons.
Mr. Parsons replied that he did not propose
to give the reasons fot an adjourned session,
but simply to give his reasons for reconsidera-
tion.
Mr.. Andrews said he had been in favor of
annual sessions but bis mind may have under-
gone some degree Of change. In this case,
however, he should not vote for an adjourned
session. If one is TO be held he meant that the
mHjority should decide il. For his part be did
not want this legislature to meet again; for he
did not want any more Republican legislation.
Mr. Voris said he preferred Republican legis.
latiOn; and he should vote to reconsider.
Mr. Nigh said he had favored an adjourned
session because be had believed Il for the best
interests Of the people. The matter had been
SO prolonged that be did not know how he
might vote. He would act in sober earnest
as one who felt the responsibility of the sub
ject.
Mr. Stedman offered to amend by sine die
adjournment on the 26th Of March, but with
drew it.
Mr.. Harlan earnestly appealed TO the House
TO decide the question now.
Mr. Hills opposed an ladjourned session, as
contrary to the constitution.
Mr.. Scott, of Warren, maintained the pro-
priety Of an adjourned session, and presented
an argument in favor of it,
The previous question was then demanded
and sustained, when the House refused to con-
cur in the resolution to adjourn on the 18th of
March, to meet again Jan. Sth, ls6I-yeas 27,
nays So.
It is stated that the action of the House is
considered final at Columbus, and no adjourned
session viii be held. It is also thought that
the present session will not close before the Ist
Of April.

Mr.. THOMAS CoLAHAN, well known to the
earlier citizens of Cleveland, died in this city
quite suddenly the night of the Sd inst, aged
81 years. Mr.. @. became a citizen of the wis
lage of Cleveland soon after the war of 1872,
and contributed to the building of it up to a
city. He was a man of Wig orOus mind and
constitution, but unfortunately, like many Oth>

DOUGLAS RUNS.

These questions and "reminiscences did not
suit Douglas, and after indulging in a few lame
attempts at witticism, to the great delight of
his clGgssrs in the gallery, and some reckless
assertions which he could hardly expect any
one to believe, he finally turned tail and left the
chamber, while Trumbull was still pouring hot
shot into him. Trumbul remarked tnat that
was his usual habit when he was arraigned

rRuMRuLL AND nonaLAs

Mr.. Trumbull took him up and put him in
very tight place by recalling the fact that
when the Kansas-N ebraska bill was first re-
ported it did not contain the clause repeating
the Missouri Compromise. That was pro-
posed by Dixon, of Kentucky, and when first
offered, was denounced by Douglas and his
friends as a fire brand. He also reminded
Douglas that when the Republicans proposed
an amendment allowing the people of Kansas
and Nebraska to elect their own Governors, he
voted against it, and the result was that the
Governors of those Territories had defeated the
popular wildly FetOing bills prohibiting Slave
ry. This was popular sovereignty with venN
geance
He further asked Douglas how there were
to be under his doctrine any more free States,
inasmueh as be asserted that the Constitution
carried SlsveTy into the Territories, and further
said that no State could undertake to deprive
persons of their property. How under the
proposition Slavery was to be excluded from
any State he could not see.

denounced the "irrepressible conflict" doctrine,

Of passion when Seward closed, showed where
the arrows Of truth had struck. The debate

No sooner had Mr.. Seward concluded than
