The LegIslnlure in Cleveland.

No more auspiciOus day could have been
asked than Monday was for the opening
Of the great Sanitary Fair. The glad sun
shine overhead, the sacred memories Of
the day-everylhing contributed to make
the Inauguration an occasion long TO be
remembered.
The msjority Of the large and respecta-
bic body Of men who legislste for our
great and noble state, were present. To
see them at the table, on the street, in Ba-
zasr, Floral hall and wherever their
'Isweet fancy" led them, one would think
our legislators had a splendid capacity
for enjoyment and satisfaction with the
world in general. We trust that their
visit to our beautiful City Of the Lakes may
not impair their legislative functions, and
that they will return to appreciate more
than ever before the old maxim, 1.-THE
world is ruled too much" Let them 60
to work now and pass their bounty bill
Immediately, and their coed merits will be
still better appreciated.

The New Go.peI d s.. OIds Impeded.

A certain class Of Democratic Journals
enter a strong protest against tho action
of the Government in permitting Bishop
Ames, of the Methodist Church, and GER
tain authorities Of the Baptist denomin-
alton, to take charge of abandoned parish
es at the South, and aid in the restoration
Of the Union by putting loyal men in the
pulpit. The Copperheads declare the Go
vernment has no right to extend its pre-
negatives in this direction, and that it ss-
vors of Church and State. We think we
see where the shoe pinches. The Copper
heads expected to take charge Of these
abandoned churches, and start them with
the new religion invented by DR.. Olds and
Virgil E. Shaw, and elaborated by the emf
nent saints of the Chicago Times
and Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is nat
ursl that they should feel disappointed as
matters have turned out Had their plan
succeeded, they would have had oongrega-
tions Of rebels without the trouble Of con-
verting them. The preaching would doubt
less have been so near that Of the now in
gscious rebel priests, that the hearers
could not have told the difference, and 80
there would have been mutual satisfaction
in the ministrstions.

ConflseatIOn and the Amnesty,

A circular letter to district attorney
has been issued from the Attorney Gener-
ais office, setting forth that many persons
against whom criminal indictments, or
against whose property proceedings un-
der the Confscstion law are pending in
the courts Of the United States, growing
out of their participation in the existing
rebellion, have in good faith taken the
oath prescribed by the Presidents procls-
nation Of December last and have there
fore entitled themselves to the full pardon
and restoration of all rights Of property,
except ss to slaves, and where rights Of
third parties have intervened which that
proclamation offers and secures. The Pres
ident has accordingly directed instructions
to be issued to the district-attorney to dis
continue such proceedings when 1t is sat
isfactorily shown the oath Of allegiance
has been taken in good faith. 1t is not
necessary that deed Of pardon, signed
by the President, shall be produced, ss the
President would find il impossible to sign
SO many papers.

The ProFrsss % RecruilIng.

The most favorable reports come to US,
Of the progress which is being made In
ths work Of recruiting. The enlistments
in the State Of Ohio are very numerous
The young men are coming forward with
great .unsnimity. Our strength in the
seld is about 2OO,OOO greater than in jan
usry 1868. Since the -rst Of lsst Novem-
Der our army has been increased by over
10000 new white recruits, in addition to
sixty thousand negro troops.
Losses from disease during the coming
summer, will be less than heretofore. Our
Sanitary arrangements are complete
The old soldiers are tough and hardened.
The raw recruits will learn more in one
month now, than in six months in the be-
ginning. Our armies will be handled with
grester efficiency. Everything promises q
prosperous and successful campaign.-
1878 men in Ohio, have been mustered in.
to the service Of the Government within
two weeks, and 1S, ,93S have been obtained
under the new call.

Men wnnted In nIIssonrI.

The St Louis papers are advertising for
lsborers, and holding out the pay Of high
wages. There is no prospect Of Missouri
filing her quota, and heavy draft is in
evitable. Accordingly the enrolling Off
GERS in that State are busy preparing for
the event, which will come off in March or
April. All persons found in st. Louis or
other parts Of the State will in the mean
time be enrolled-and those who 90 there
for "work will stand q pretty fair
chance Of being employed by Uncle Sam.
Better wait till after the draft takes place
in that State before going to st. Louis in
search Of employment

We and upon our table 6 very ingenious
little pamphlet under the sbOve title. 1t
is printed by Sinclair TOussy, l2l Nassau
street NY. The questions and answers
are All sufficiently orthodox. Here are
the articles Of Belief;
Ibeiieve in one country, Ore Constitu-
tion, ore destiny; and in George B. Nc
OlolIsn, formerly Genersl-in-ohief of the
Armies Of the United States; who was
born Of respectable parents; suffered un-
der Edwin NJ. Stanton; was refused re
inforosmsnts, and descended into the
swsmps Of the ChickshOminyi he was
driven thersfrom by ire and by sword, and
upon the seventh day Of battle assembled
Malvern Hill, from whence he withdrew
TO Harrison's Landing, where he rested
many days he returned to thea Potomac,
fought the battle of Antietsm, and was
then removed from his high command, and
entered into oblivion. From this he shall
one day arise and be elevated to the Presi-
Dental chair, there to dispense his fsvers
unto ell who follow him, andiwhO firmly
rest upon the platform of the party to which
he belongs.
I also believe in the unalienable doctrine
Of State Rights; in the admission o.
slavery into the territories; in the illegal
ity Of the Confscstion act Of the econscrip,
ton, Of the suspension Of habeas corpus
Of arbitrary arrests, and of the PrOclama

Correspondence from New: Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, February Is,


THE MOVEMENT AGAINST NEW ORLEANS.
have been told just now that large
bodies of troops have lately been conoen-
trsted on the islands Of the Mississippi
gulf coast, with q view Of making de-
scent on Mobile. Three largetr snsports
heavily laden with troops went down the
river the other night, and large expedi-
ton has certainly gone to attack Mobile.
With this comes the renewal OF the story
that the troops at Madisonville are to be
ferried around to Pascsgolos. | should
be the more willing to believe this story
we're it not reported to have come from
the neighborhood called headqusrters.-
Secrets do not come from headquarters in
such shape. AS to the transports with
troops which have gone down the river,
one, at least, of them was loaded with fur
louehed troops going North to recruit
The others were probably going to Texas
to replace furlOughed troops which have
come from there.
Whether there be any intention to at
tack Mobile or not, it has certainly been
heavily reinforced, and a much larger
force than that which has been defending
Charleston is reported TO be within the
lines Of fortifcstion at the former place.
According to my views Of the real intent,
the confederates have been deceived by
the talk about attacking Mobile, and will
feel the effects of it about Atlanta sooner
than they expect.

The English radicals, headed by Messrs
Bright and Golden, are making good use
Of the time intervening before the assem-
bling Of Parliament, By advocating their
peculiar reforms in landed property. 1t
was the opinion Of the agitation Of this
question that drew upon Mr.. Golden the
wrath Of the Jupiter Tonans Of the English
press, and which resulted in the cele-
brated Golden Delane controversy, with
whose character the public on this side Of
the Atlantic is familiar.
The principal collective points Of the
attacks Of these two gentlemen are CON
veyancing and primogeniture.
For an Indefinite time the legislation of
England has been directed with view to
the Capitalization Of landed interests
The basis Of this species of law making
seems to have been the principle that the
distribution of lands among the masses is
| dangerous, and that in we'll regulated gov
ernments the opposite theory should pre-
vail. Hence the enactment Of the law Of
primogeniture, whereby, when man dies
intestate, his real estate goes to his Oldest
SON, instead, as in this country and most
other States, Of division equally among all
the heirs. It will readily be seen how, by
this course Of treatment, in few years
the entire land of England has become the
property of q very small minority.
In order to still further aid the project
of centralizing landed property, the law
has placed almost insuperable difficulties
in the way OF selling or dividing land
Thus, q man may wish to dispose Of few
acres belonging to his estate, but exeepi
under extraordinary circumstances, will
be unable to find purchaser, for the res
SON that the law of eonveysncing is sucl
that it may, and frequently does, require
years to make out q title, and further
more, that the cost of transferring the LAND
is frequently greater than the entire vslu
Of the land itself.
The consequences Of such state Of sf
fairs is easily imagined. A few thousant
people own all the land in England, Will
millions of the remainder fall into the con
dition of lsborers. The former enjoy un
limited wealth, and make all the laws tn
latter perform all the drudgery, pass thei
life in condition little if any better thal
that Of brutes, and have no participation
in the government further than to be pun
ished if they shoot pheasant, and burie
as psupers when they die.
