1t is almost impossible to conceive the respon
siblity which, ut the present moment, deyolyes
npon Abraham Lincoln, the President OF the
United States. Even in ordinary times, the
oilice of Chief Magistrate Of a mighty republic
like ours is anything but sineeure. It is
suntly surrounded with anxiety and difficulties,
md the discharge OF its onerous duties anu obli-
cations requires the exercise OF no common mind.
But now-with the country couyulsed by fear
full rebellion; with two hundred thousand excl
ted traitors in array agAiuAthe Government and
threatening its very exisieuce-the additional
anxiety may be regarged us terrible In every
day lite, with the merchant, the tradesman, the

its cares and its perplexilies. What then must
be the position vi President, with its feariuy

be but one-is honorable alike to the man and
the Office, to the patriot and the statesman. -

Adjournment of the Legislature.


The Ohio Legislature adjourned sine die on TUES
day morning, 18th inst, at O'Clock, M, after
session of l27 days. AT its adjourned session snuch
important business was transacted among which
may be classed the laws reducing the fees of county
auditors and treasurers, the new ditch law the law
relating to the property rights of women, the law
relating 10 railroads, the canal lease bill, ard the
several bills relating to the organization and mus
tering into service of the militia of the State. One
hundred and two bills were passed into laws, and
seventy -four joint resolutions. Over eight hundred
and thirty bills were considered and passed upon
at the two sessions, less than half of which were
adopted. The war bills necessarily protractcd the
last session somewhat: yet had the attention of the
Legislature not been directed to these measures il
would have located the new pcnitcntiary and dis
tricted the State for Congressional purposes, both
of which would have consumed much time, so that
the General Assembly, in any event, would proba-
bly, not have adjourned much before the first of May
Perhaps there has never been a Legislative body in
this State in which party lines were 80 loosely
drawn. In fact, so far as the Republicans were
concerned there seemed to be no party at all, and
the Democrats had refractory members in either
branch. The Senate might properly be termed a
practical body" and wish we could say as
muc h, truthfully, of the House.
