STATE MATTERS.


THERE are about three thousand men IL
Camp Cleveland at present. The l24th regi
ment has about seven hundred men. Their,
are. fifsy-six recruits for the 81 Ohio cavalry,
few for the s4lh, and few for the 10Th cavalry
A very comfortable camp hospital has beer
erected.
EIoHTY-sKvEH members of the 95th Ohio
who have, aince the Richmond fight, beer
guarding railroads in Southern Indiana, arrived
in this city on the 24th inst. IL is said the
Governor will grant them furloughs of ten days
each.
OUR readers will recOllect the reported dc
oision Of Gov. Tod in reference to drafted
aliens, denying them any remedy in the civil
courts, etc. The New York Herald of the 24th
inst has the following item:
The Governor Of Ohio has suspended the
writ Of habeas corpus in regard to drafted aliens
In the camps of that State. This looks like o
highhanded measure on the part oil q State
Executive; and whence Governor Tod received
bis authority to abrogate this constitutional
guardian of mems rights and liberties is some
what dificult to ascertain. The writ of habea,
corpus, which was once considered of such in,
estimable value, has become a plaything.
Two important decisions have been recently
rendered by Judge swsyne. in the U. S. Circuit
Court, now In session In Cincinnati:
The first involves the title to half million
of acres Of land In Southern Ohio, which in.
cludes q part Of the city of Wilmington, in
which Judge SWayne decides in favor of the
tenants, the claims set up by the plaintiffs hav.
Ing been barred by the statute Of limitation.
In the other case of "The City of Cincinnati
vs. The Ohio & Mississippi Railroad Company p
In which the city sought to set aside decree
Of the District Court, 10 enable il to become O
party TO the original suit. the Judge decided sd-
verse to the petition. The city having loaned
the o. 4 M. road $6O0,OOO Of iIs funds, and
taken 10000 shares Of the capital stock Of the
company assecurity, itnow comes in and claims
the advances 1t made to the company as q prioI
lien on the road, under the law Of 1850, author.
ining the city to loan said bonds, and the Court
decides that the only recourse the city has, II
on the 1000 shares it accepted as security.
Mas. McGRKooR, the ad interim of the starl
County Democrat, during the imprisonment o
her husband, paid visit to Camp Mansfield or
the 2lst inst. She gives the following brie
sketch Of the political prisoners from Ohio
kept In durance there:
Peter N. Reitzell, Canton, arrested by Ansol
Pease and q file Of soldiers, on Sunday, Octo
Der l2Ih, 1862, at 81 o'clock A. M, in tht
Baptist Church while teaching Sabbath Schoo
class.
A. iMcGvegor, Canton, arrested by Ansor
Pease, without warrant, or other authority, ex
cspt Captain and ten soldiers, with guns anC
bayonets, on Sunday, October 18th, 1862, at II
O'Clock A. M, while In his private Office sd
joining the Stark County Democrat printing Of
hce. .t..
Rev. George w. Henning, Of 0snaburg town
ship. Stark county, Ohio, arrested by Lieut.
Of Captain Brayton's Company, l2Oth regiment
and squad of FIVE soldiers, on Tuesday morn
ing, l4th inst, at 4 o'clock.
Daniel Tuttle, Benton, Crawford county, ar
rested on Wednesday, October 18th, 1862, al
O'Clock P. M, by Atwood and Foster, o.
Buoyrus.
These gentlemen are the honored inmates Of
the pine-board shanty.
Hon L. w. Hall, Of Buoyrds, was arrested BY
deputy marshal Of Crawford county, on Mon
day, the 18th inst. Judge Hall has not beer
In good healsb, and Colonel G. Il. Sherman
commandant of the post, has paroled him from
day to day, thus permitting Judge Hall to re-
main at Mansfield over night.
These constitute the prisoners at Camp Mans
field. By what authority, or upon whose order
they were arrested they have not as yet beer
advised. When they will have a trial, OF
whether they will have one at all, Is not know
to them. My husband has been trying to fint
a,,k -hak 1tanaatkiar ta 10 he 49, o -
his fellow prisoners, or whether hearing Of
trial is to be vouchsafed at all. They are, on,
and oil, anxious to have an opportunity Il
establish their innocence, conscious that the,
have ever sustained and obeyed the Constitu
tion and the laws.
WE have already noticed the arrest and i'm
prisonmeut in Camp Chase of DR.. Allen, o
franklin Square, Columbiana county. Tn
New Lisbon Patriot, speaking of the affidavit
on which the Doctors arrest was grounded
says:
We have not seen the affidavit, but we ar
informed-the charge against DR.. Allen is tina
he said tho Democracy were going to carry th
election; and II they could not do IL by ballots
they wonld do It at the point of the bayonet.-
This had been charged against Dr.. Allen sev
oeral times before his arrest. We inquired in
. 20 the matter and found what he said was this
"The liberty Of speech had been stricken dow
and also the liberty of the prees. The Demo
Gratis were determinedto maintain their right
Of free speech and free press, because the
we're their constitutional rights. They woul
secure them at the ballot box if they could.
they could not secure them at the ballot boz
they would secure them at the point of til
bayenet." If the Governments wishes to arres
men for these sentiments, We will find then
twenty flve hundred more of the same sort o
DR.. Allen in this county.
