the Senate vOluminous bin to let the superin>
teudenoe and repairs Of the Public Works Of the
State, by contract, Il embOdies many points in
she oil law, but is stil more stringent in guard
ing the mode OF giving out and administering
contracts Il subdivides the Publio Works into
eight sections, and prohibits the Board Of Public
Works from entertaining any bids exceeding in
che aggregate the sum Of Ss97, 200 per annum.
Contracts 70 be given to the ''lOwest responsible
bidder"
A bill has beon introduced in the House to
provide for the sale Of the Public Works, and
the subject bids fair to occupy large share OF
attention in the General Assembly.
The proper deposition and management oi
the Public Works is not only vexed question:
but one of much interest to tax oppressed PeON
pie. A thorough investigation Of the whole
subject by a competent Commission as sug-
gested by Gov DennisOn, would be satisiaciO-
ry and beneficial It is Of the first importance

such an Investigation as proposed would be
likely to result in changes of policy and re-
t.enchment of expenses looking 10 that desira-

mnrnnfthe NohIe Chiralry.

Ths Warren Chronicle states that two young
ladies Of TrumbuIl county, Miss Bsman, of
Gustavus, and Miss Harrington, of Green
both Of fwhom have been teaching in the South
ern States-have been compelled to leave their
schools, because they were guilty of the crime
Of being residents of Ohio, and consequently
were suspected Of having some doubts as to the
divinity of slavery. The Chronicle after motto
ing this and the other Outrages on citizens Of
the Free States which have Of late become 50
frequent. well remarks:
If men of the South will thus violate the
constitutional rights Of citizens Of these States,
as well as the natural rights possessed by men
everywhere, and will not even respect the rghts
of women, they will treasure up for the mselvesi
wrath against the day Of wrath.

b1fbfmI They were fast working the public
up to the point that they, from spite, would take

d. PIstnl scene in ConEress.

The Cincinnati Gazetts's correspondent gives
the following account of the scene in the House
when Mr.. Haskin arose to call Mr.. Clark to
account for the language he had used:
The Democrats tried to choke Haskin off
but he persisted, when a cry Of "OrdeI,
"Order." was raised on the Democratic side,
and Barr. of New York, took his stand by
Hsskiu, CRYING in his ear, "Order," "Sit down"
etc. Ia tie excitement, Haskins unbuttoned
his coat-a single breasted One-and with
sudden Jerk Of the collar, revolver fell 10 the
floor from his pocket There was instantly
grand rush towards him from all sides OF the
House, and the scene which followed beggars
description. In the midst stood the famous
Keitt Of s. c., swinging his arms frantleally
about, shaking his shaggy locks. and breathing
vengeance and destruction. BE, with several
others. raved most frantieally. Most OF the
Reuubrcans kept their seats, and Haskins
maintained with much GOODNESS his position.
He attempted to speak again, when a fresh
storm arose with cries of "Put him out
Choke him Off" DC. The Sergeant at Arms
appeared and partial order was restored. I'm
tating words were spoken on both sides.
Mr.. Haskin explained the accident Of the
falling of the pistol, which he had placed in hiz
pocket the previous evening, to protect himself
late at night on his way home. Msmbers who
were with him at the time corToborated the
fact. The Heuse adjourned, but the feeling
was most intense. The Gazelte's dispatch
says: ~
Keith, of South Carolina, declares that. bad
he dropped his pistol, he should haYe said
"GenGcmen, carry arms when and where
please, and shall continue to do So" WheF
Mr.. Haskin proposed that thereafter no persons
should bring deadly weapons upon the moor Q

HarrisOn,s 1mputatIon Bill.

In noticing the bill of Senator Harrison to
prevent military expeditions by the citizens of
Ohio into other States, the Akron Beacon lorci-
bly, comments:
No military expedition has ever been fitted
out in this State against the peace or people Of
any other State in the Union. To legislate
against an offence in advance ofits having been
committed, threatened OF indicated az likely to
occur, seems rather supeTfuous As citizen
of Ohio, desirous "a all good citizens should be
that she should fulfil in good faith all obliga-
tions to other States, we yet can hardly relish
legislation of this sort now. 1t seems like leg
islating under menace, and giving some coun-
tensnce to the foolish delusions OF inventions
BY which the whole north (saYe NATIONAL
Demoerats) are charged with completely in the
Haper's Ferry invasion. The Bill by impl-
cation imputes to the people of Ohio purposes
which have no existence, and never had.

A Great Fite.

There was a man in Arkansaw
As let his passion rise,
And not unfrequently picked out
Some other varmint's eyes
His name was Tuscaloosa Sam;
And often he would say,
"There's not cuss in Arkansaw
can't whip any day"
Oue day stranger passin' by
Heard Sammy talking so,
When down he scrabbed from his hoss,
And off his coat did go.
He sorter kinder shut one eye,
And spit into his hand,
And put his ugly head one side,
And twitched his trowser's band.
any boy says he, it's my belief,
Whomeyer you may be,
That | kin make you scratch, and smell
Particular agony"
aim thar" SAYS Tuscaloosa Sam,
And chucked his hat away;
I'm thar" says he, and then he up
For to commence the play.
He thundered on the strangers mug,
The stranger pounded he,
And, oh, the way the critters fit
Was singular 10 see.
They cinched like two rampajious bars,
And each fell on his sit;
They swore a stream of six-inch oaths,
And fit, and fit, and fit.
When Sam would try to work away,
And on his pegs to git,
The strangerd pull him back and so
They fit, and fit, and fit.
The stranger snapped at Sammy's nose,
And shortened it bit;
And then they both swore orful hard,
And fit, and fit, and fit.
The mud ii few, the sky grew dark,
And all the litenins lit;
But still them critters rolled about,
And fit, and fit, and fit.
First Sam on top, then 'tother chap;
When one would make hit,
The other'd smell the grass ;and so
They fit, and fit, and fit.
The night came on, the stars shone out
As bright as wimmin's wit;
And still them fellers swore and gouged,
And fit, and fit, and fit.
The neighbors heard the roar they made,
And thought an earthquake'd lit;
Yet all the while twas him and Sam
AS fit, and fit, and fit.
Fur miles around the noise was heard
Folks couldn't sleep bit,
Because them two rantankerous chaps
Still fit, and fit, and fit. (
But jist at cock-crow, suddenly,
There came an awful pause,
And me aud my old man run out
To ascertain the cause.
The sun was risin' in the yeast,
And lit the whole concern;
But not a sign of either chap
Was found at any turn.
Yet in the region where they fit,
We found, to our surprise,
Two quarts ofbuttons, two big knives,
Some whiskers and four eyes

4" The Ebony Idol"

The following extracts are from forthcoming
work by Massachusetts, writer, entitled Z" The
Ebony Idol" 1t is from the press of the Apple
tons, and narrates the history of an escaped fu-
gitive a representative of at least as large
GLASS of our colored brethren as that typifed by
Uncle Tom. The nexorable law of civilization,
work or starye, is one that Sambo from the
very tropical sensuouness OF his being, is ex-
ceedingly slow to learn. In this story worthy
clergyman of moderate endowments, gives a
temporary asylum to Caesar, and labors to ex-
plain what he expects of him in return
''lwish to do for you all that can do wisely
and as Christian, but | cannot distress my
family to serve you or squander the small means
at my command | would like you to work in
the garden, cut my wood, and do such erands
and chores as will assist my wife. 1t seems to
ne you cannot but be willing to do this"
Caesar Sat dog-eyed and sulcn, without even
pretending to listen. Mr.. Cary spoke more
warmly 81 shall make inquiry for you that
you may obtain employment in some reliable
family, where you can be paid for your labor; as
soon such opening is found | expect you will
leave US Willingly"
"Dis nigger didnt cerne norf to work, no how;
get work emf at de souf," cried Caesar indig
nantlY.
Bat you must work or starve liberty is no.
Dis chile got clothed and fe at de souf, and
want twitted of it nudder,' growled Caesar
Ior', wish you could eat one Of Dinah's hoe
cakes; dem's fxins as is fxins"
a. | beg you, Cesar, now that Providence has
releas you from slavery"
" Providence hadn't nothin' to do about it it
was jus dem cussed abolitioners; and dat is
fact, Massa Cary"
Mr.. Cary groaned. 1t was evident that he, had
indeed fallen upon fallow grou d. Caesar, all
gifts are from God He has doubtless some
motive in releasing you from cruel task mas
ter"
"Nebber heard any niger, black or white,

why did you leave him, then p asked Mr..
Carey, a little testify.

never had mind. and so | was seduced.-
