Gen. schenck Pouncing on an Editor


The Abolition majority in our State Legisla-
tuto so Intrigued and gerrymlndsred last win
ter as to give General RoDERr c. SoHrNcK, OF
Dayton, seat 10 the mex. Congress. Since the
election, General soHEEcE has been appointed
to the command Of Department With bis
headquarters ss BAltimore. The General Ia a
loyal man undoubtedly y-loyal to Abolitlonlsm
aud arbitrary poser, which is oil the loyalty bis
party considers worth fig.
General SCIENCE the other day arrested Mr..
BoILsAu, the editor Of the Philadelphia Evenin9
Journal sent him to prison ont Of tho State,
and suppressed his paper. What was the Of

In the dark &c before
A Washington correspondent Of the Cincin
nati Gasstts says that Gen. SoHENcR's arbitrary
proceedings against the PhIladelphis editor were
bottomed upon thls--shat the latter had said
that JErs. DAvIS's message was moro able and
truthful than that Of President LINCOLN 1t is
net stated when and where Mr.: BolLELu said
this, nor are the words given which he used.
Probably he never said il, or ifhe did say come
thing like 1t, II was 10 such connection and with
such notifications as to make II ba, ,mlees
comparison. Yet even the bald ssseI ton shout
the two messages as charged above, is not half
90 hard on Father ABRAHAM as WENDELL PHIL.
LiRs has publicly charged on him time and
again, calling him an imbecile, q turtle, q
king-lOg and all such degrading epithets Bat
then Abolisionsts have ea,te-6Lanch to say
ahat they please. They cannot of course be
guilty Of disloyal practices.
General scHEHcE's action In the premises we
zee has stirred up something of hornets nest
about his ears. Judge LUDLOW, of the Phila-
delphia Court Of Quarter Sessions, q Jurist Of
high character, on Thursday, directed the
Grand Jury to lay aside ell other business until
they bad thoroughly Investigated this case Of
Mr.. BonrLu, and vindicated the authority of
the State. We see, too that q resolution is
pending in the Pennsylvania State Senate, an.
,horizing Governor CURTIN to go to Washing
ton and demand the release of Mr.. BonEAv
I. is expected to psss. In that case Ii will test
the backbone of the Governor; and the people
will see whether he has got the manhood and
pluck to stand up Tor their rights against ar
bitrary and usurped power, as the Executive of
State should do. General ScHEEcK, like his
superiors at Washington, is making history
tolerably fast.

The Probable Draft of Negroes.

Under this head tho Cincinnati Commercial
has tho following, Tho dsrkies are in for IL.
Their Abolition friends are after them with o
determination to make them fight, Eolsns
pOlsns. So let them hurry up the negro draft:
If the policy Of arming negroes is adopted,
and that seems to bs the tendency OF the times,
the probability of draft OF the able bodied
free male blacks, in the Northern and border
States, becomes q matter worthy immediate
and solemn consideration. The ceusus Of 1860
gives the following return of free male blecKs:
California 8 1877, Connecticut 4.l38, Delaware
9,6s9, Illinois 3 s09, Indiana 5,79l, IosA 566,
Kansas 2s6, Kentucky 6,l0l, Maine $50,
Maryland 39, ,746, Massachusetts 4, 4,469. Mlchi-
Gan 1867, Minnesota 1876, Missouri ], ,697, New
Hampshire 253, New Jersey 1912, New York
2S,l7s, Ohio lS.442, Pe-nsylysnis 28.373,
Rhode Island 1881, Vermont 37l, Wisconsin
$50. Total l56.0S2 Perhaps onethird OF the
male blacks may be called able-bodied, giving
US black men, to be drafted from, SIS ,327. We
presume not more than Al, 900 could be got at
and made available. In order, therefore, TO
raise force OF l6 600 blacks, and we shall
want that many in addition to the conlrabande
convertible into soldiers, it will De necessary 10
draft every third black man, or citizen with a
visible sdmixture of African blood, having
habitation In the free and border slave States.
This would seem pretty heavy for O start, bat
it would not be largely out OF proportion to the
number OF white men who have entered the mil
itsry service; and If the negroes, commencing
at this late day, would do their full share, every
other man Of them should 'go to the war"
As soon as the policy OF calling out our Black
Reserve is adopted, there will, of course, be ar
lees, they will bo allowed to volunteer, and
while they are about 1t, al! will be regletered,
pr eDaratory to the process OF drafting.

Great Speech of Hon. Milton sayIer.

Hon. MIToN SAYLER concluded bis great
speech In vindication of the rights of American
citizens, on Friday morning. 1t is conceded on
all hands that Il was one Of the sblest speeches
ever delivered In legislative body in Ohio.
Its conclusive reasoning, its inAexible logic,
and its faultless elocudon, characterized II at
once as most powerful aud eloquent effort. It
was unauswsrsble; aud the spologists of arbi-
trary power stood appalled, and dismsyed, sad
were unable to speak. /. reinspired the friends
Of Constitutional Liberty and Anglo, American
Rigbts, aud gave them fresh courage for the
impending conflict
Mr.. SAyLER began BY saying that the ques'
tion directly and properly before the House was
twofold, involving the right of the Chief Ex-
eoutive Of the nasion-lst, to arrest without
process Of Law, and %, to detain without priv
ilege Of kabsas corpus. citizens of the State Of
Ohio not connected with the military sesvice.
This right had been distinctly claimed by the
President in HE Message Of July 4, 1861, to the
extra session Of Congress, and had been exer.
cised toward some Of the States during almost
the entire period Of the present Administration,
though It found its complete and fnal assertion
10 the Proclamation of September "a, 1862.
Mr.. sAYLzh distinctly denied this right 10 the
President, and she following is q brief outline
Of his argument:
lst So far as this right exists at all, and 50
far as the writ Of habsas csryus may be sus-
pended under any circumsunces, the power ID
conferred by the Constitution upon Congress and
not upon the Chief Executive.
He argued this proposition--
lst. From the context of the Constitution
Itself
I'd. From the history of the writ, and the
established doctrine concerning It in Euglsndi
and
3d., From the uniform decision Of the courts
In answer to those members who yielded the
historical argument but affirmed that the pre-
roga.ivs of the President was greater in this
respect than that Of the Sovereign Of England
he replied that the revolution was war sgsipsi
prerogatIves, 30 set forth in the Declaration Of
yudepe pendenee, and IL was incredible that mer
| protesting against the tyranny Of Sovereign
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1863-01-31

desms the time is come when he should say 50
openly.
IT any additional proof were wanting that
the late so-oalled Republican party has become
thoroughly abolItionized, this voluntary repudi-
alton Of that organisation by q man who has
done more than any other In giving 1t success
and placing It In the seat of political power,
would amply supply the deficiency. He has la
bored to prevent II from falling under the con-
troll and guidance Of Dlsunion Abolitlonlsm,
but has failed, and now turns away from II with
disgust and loathiDg.

Close OF the Discussion In tho Horse
OF Rep on Arbitrary
Arrests.

The discussion in the House of Rspfesents-
tves on arbitrary arrests wee Resumed Oh Fri
day morning and contisded until noon. when It
was broughtto o close, Mr.. SAYLrR concluded
his able srs eloquent speech, and was followed
BY ": Cook and Mr.. GRiswOLD, tho latter Of
whom moved the reference of Mr. DREsEL's
resolution to the judiciary committee, where
It will sleep the sleep Of death, or be emascu-
lated, and then reported back in shape that
will defeat iss object, and thus be allowed to
pass. The spologists of arbitrary power are
afraid of an investigation. They will not per.
NIT it. The time will come, however, when
they will have to submit t, inquiry and inves-
tigation.

PAINFUL ACCIDENTAL bout Ii o'clock
yesterday forenoon, as Mrs. Ann Williams,
Of this village, and her daughter, Miss De
Haven. were driving down the road, just
this side Of Virgins mill their horse became
frightened at the street sprinkling machine,
which was coming across the bridge over
the mill race, and dashed off at furious
rate. He could probably have been stop
ped before any damage was done, had he
been kert straight on the road, but Mrs.
w, fearing the horses would rush into the
water, seized one Of the reins, and turned
him to the side Of the road, where, the
buggy striking tree, Mrs. w. was thrown
out on one side and her daughter on the
other. Miss De Haven was unhurt. be-
You'd few slight bruises, but Mrs. Will
Jams was dashed against the tree, and had
her thigh bone broken in two places. The
wounds were promptly dressed, and she is
now dong well, but her recovery will be
slow.--Platteville Witness.

Crops Generally.

Arriving at home from visit to Mil
waukee but al hour before publication, we
prepare short notice of the crops as they
appeared yesterday and to-day, from the
cars and stage and from information Of
persons acquainted along the way. Just
now more interest is taken in the crops by
all classes thar in the war news-interest-
ing and saving to our country as the latter
may indicate. In city and country alike
the anxiety about the crops is ever existing.
Some days ago serious apprehensions
were felt concerning the lice which appear
ed in the head of wheat, but nothing sen-
Gus is now dreaded from this cause. The
chinch bugs are damaging rather more
grain than we expected, but their ravages
will be nothing like so general as in form
err years. We still think their end is near,
and that they cannot last as pest beyond
the present year.
In parts Of the State, wheat and other
crops have suffered serious effects from the
drought; but in our part the loss will not
prove serious from this cause; our lands
are better adapted for resisting dry wealth
er blight than other western lands. An
unevenness of stand is perceivable from the
cars in all places east Of Madison moreso
than west of Madison. Part of field may
appear excellent and part scarcely worth
harvesting; one field looks prime, the next
midlling or worthless, and SO on through.
AS to corn and oats we have never
seen better average prospects.
