gays that it has beena matter OF wonder that
horse and mule contractors were so successful
in purchasing those animals in tho city. Nash
vile had suddenly became one of the best,
and at the same time the cheapest, horse and
mule markets in the country, good animals
being purchased at from S25 to $50 each
It. turns out, however that black and white
thievce steal the animals from Government,
sell them at low figures to the contractors /;
who again sell then toGGovernnient. An in
vestigation showed that a particular mule had
been stolen aud sold over ard over again, un
til. at SIS each sale, the animal had nerted the
thieves s4GO. OF course the contractors got.
from $1,000 to $1,000 for the same mule from
the Government.

The Statute in relation to unauthorized cur
reucy is as follows:
"No person shall put in circulation, pass or
attempt to pass, as money on currency, any
note. bill, or other evidence Of debt, made or
is-ued without authority Of law, knowing the
same to have been made or issued without au-
thority of law; and no person shall make, or
put in circulation, pass, or attempt to circulate
or pass, as-inoney or currency any note, bill,
payable in the lawful money of the United
States, or which is for a less sum than one
dollar, under a penalty of fifty dollars for eve
ry such offence"
'That al penalties imposed by this act shall
be recovered by action of debt, in the name of
the State of Ohio, before any Court of COM
pctent Jurisdiction, or by indictment, and all
penalties incurred under this act, when collect
ed, shall be paid to the Treasurer of the coun-
ty in which the Judgment is recovered for the
same, for the use O. lha State of Ohio"
Thoe therefore knowing themselves to

Gen'Is Foster and Hunter. by
the Ears.

A correspondence the World, writing from
Port Royal, Fob. 9th, says
"Foster's expedition is at a stand still
worse even, for the troops are disembarking
from the transports, asd taking up thoir quar-
tiers on St. Helena Island. All the mystery
which enshrouded this expedition for so many
weeks is thus useless, and many days must
elapse before anything can be achieved by it.
Reports are rife as to disogreemcnts between
Generals Hunter and Foster, and it would
seem as though the authorities at Washington
had re-enacted the Butler Banks <embroglio
with still worse results. Gen. Hunter, howev-
err, does not seem disposed to leave his DEPART
ment, but as it is clearly impossible for two
heads of departments to live amicably in the
same locality, one of them vacates and goes
North for additional instructions. General
Foster leaves tomorrow by the hrago, and
you must not, therefore, expect to hear any
thing further from his expedition for at least
three weeks to come. Depend upon it, how
ever, the-fect will not be idle in IKE interim"

j%ourned on Friday forenoon until Tuesday, and
nearly all the members and off cer: went home.
This frequent adjourning owe and losing
about four working days each time, is a favor

was INDUCED in last winter, and is being car
ried out with even more success this session.
The people of the State arc tired of this thing.
They are paying enormous taxes out Of their
hard earnings and the Legislature seems to
be exerting itself to p%rolong the session, and
run up the unnecessary expenditures to "fabu-
lous sums" Each of these adjournnents costs
the State orer four thousand dollars. The

-Hon MfIton sayIer at Gallon.

Hon. MILTON SAYLER, of the House o
Representatives, from Cincinnati, addressed
an immense Democratic meeting at Gallon
Crawford county, Ohio, on Saturday evening
February Tth. There was fine ~sleighing, aud
the meeting was largely afforded by the PEG
pie of Crawford, Richland, Morrow and Ma
rion counties. There was a large number OF
ladies in attendance, who enjoyed the occasion
as much as the Democratic voters did. Mr..
Saylcr spoke two hours and a half, deliverin g
one of the ablest, most powerful, and most icl-
oquent speeches ever heard in that part of the
State. He was at once invited to speak again
in "Old Crawford, " before the next election.
We trust he wi make the canvass Of the en-
tire State before October. His speech at CAL
ion was a great success. It was applauded to
the echo and was received amid the widest
enthusiasts. Its effect will be felt many days
hence, in the backbone Of Ohio.
Mr.. Sayler began by referring to the great
questions now at issue before the American
people, and upon which they are called to de-
eide, affirming them to.be the very fundamcn-
tai principles which pertain to the existence
of free government He traced briefly the
rise ard progress of tho nation, and referred
to its unexampled prosperity during a period
of more than seventy years of Wing and
Democratic rule. In speaking OF former po--
.litical divisions among the people he affirmed
that it was not party spirit, but sectional spirit,
that had worked this ruin. He traced the rise
of sectionalism in the South, eulminating- in
notification, and overthrown by Jackson and
Clay also of Abolitionism in the North, iun-
til it rode into full power in the persol OF
Lincoln,
He claimed that the leaders of the Repub-

From the n. Y. Evening Pest.
A strange and startling affair occurred this
morning at the Sailors Snug Harbor on Sta
ten Island. a prayer meeting was held this
morning, which a large number of the inmates
attended. After the services were concluded,
one of the sail, is, who lad acted susp iciously,
approached the Chaplain, and, drawing a con,
cealed pistol, suddenly shot him dead. AS if
Mortified at the atrocity of the deed, the muir
derer then shot himself. The latter attempt
was, however, not effectual, and the murderer,
and wonld-be suicide is, still alive, though
badly wounded, while tie unfortunate Char
lain died almost im mediately. - -
1t is alleged that the cause of the murder
was fear on the part Of the sailor lest his con-
fdence should be betrayed by. the Chaplain,
to whom he had recently confessed a previous
murder. :et4 .f&eHgIi6

The missouri Emancipation Ac

4SAo
The Senate Thursday after passing the eur.
rency bill passed the bill for emancipation in
Missouri. Senators F~EssENDEN, GRIMES,
LANE. of Indiana, and TEN EYcR, of the Re-
publicans voted against it, thus giving the
bill but four majority. ~.
The bill as passed provides that Missouri
shall pass an emancipation act with twelve
months, when twenty millions of 5 per cent.
bonds are to be delivered to the State, frovi-
ded said emancipation act shall abolish slavery
not later than July, 1886, and that said bonds,
in the aggregate amount, shall not exceed the
sum of two hundred dollars for each slave, and
the bonds are not to exceed ten million ms of
dollars, unless the law of emancipation adop-
ted by Missouri shall provide for a full manu-
mission of all slaves therein before July, 1865,
and the further exclusion of slavery forever.
IF there was any virtue in the bill, Otis un-
constitutionality we claim to be clearly mani
fest) it was killed BY that hollow-hearted ~hyp;
o%crite, SUMNER, whose amendment reducing
the amount to be Paid for each slave from three
to tive hundred dollars was ca ried, thus rem

States, will be found on the last page of thi.
paper, following which is the negro soldiers
bill, as it passed the House. The object Of
these abolition bills can easily be understood
Fhey are part and parcel of the same plol
against the liberties OF The people, and will
lead to some curious results. Strange and re.
markable times do we live in, when a Congress,
elected by the people, pass laws to free ne.
groes and e~nslave white men. But here it is
in llach aud acAite, and he who can not see
Inust be stone blind. 4L l1es oai 81 =ee
The next thing to observe will be to see
how many men who have been voting the Re-
publican ticket will swallow these doses. 1t
is well the record of our shame has been
made.7a 1t will fasten men to one side or the
other. The MARKS will be left for all future
time, and no man can longer dodge politics.
Every one will be known by the company he
keeps and the principles he avows. The lines
of division arc deep and we'll marked, and at
once every man must take his position. Mark
the future. Better that every free negro
should be sent into slavery than that the white
race should thus be sacrificed "The greatest
