Idiotic AsyIun-VNhatSa Say the PeO.
oa t ple of Columbus?

Senator DEvIN has on foot scheme that
he wants carried through the Ohio Legisla-
ture.1 Weunderstand that his father-in-law
has at Mt. Vernon very fine private resi-
dence-perhaps the finest in Middle Ohio.
The Senator wants Ohio to purchase it at
sum of about $4,000, and turn it into an
Idiotic Asylum. Our information is that it
is not suited for any such purpose. Weun-
derstand further, that the State has within
mile and half of the City of Columbus
suitable tract of land, bought expressly
for that purpose. To make a purchase else
where of any property for that avowed
purpose, is simply squandering money.
This is matter in which the citizens Of
Columbus are interested. Let them put
their seal of condemnation on it, by voting
the Democratic Ticket on Monday. The
triumph of that Ticket by decided major
ity will cause the Legislature to pause con-
siderably before they pass bill to thus
squander the public funds to benefit pri-
vate individual.

Won,t n he Jolly d?

Won't the men who occasionally take a
social glass have jolly time Of it as soon
as the Senate passes the House bill prohib-
iting any building to be used in which to
sell liquor? Ithas been stated that the only
class of people who drink liquor are Demo-
crats-excepting Vice President JOHNSON,
and it is even intimated that Governor
BRoUGH takes a 'smile" occasionally-and
as they thus pay the Administration apretty
heavy revenue they otherwise would not
pay, just now this sort of legislation is not
very patriotic. Probably, it may have
tendency to make corn cheaper and the
farmers taxes higher. Coercion is the
great panacea to make States devoted to the
Union-why not to make men moral, yirtu-
Gus and religious? The success of the
Administration candidates on Monday will
be regarded as an Endorsement of this sort
of legislation.

$4,000 for n Nigger.

ASenator yesterday furnished considera-
BILE merriment to persons in the rotunda,
by passing remark he made touching the
great painting of Mr.. POWELL representing
Commodore PERRY's victory on Lake Erie.
In 1867, we believe, the Legislature made
an appropriation of $4,000 to pay for this
painting; but in consideration of the in
flated prices at the time it was painted, Mr..
POWELL feels compelled to ask $4,000 for
1t. The Senator referred to glanced at the
picture and deserted negro in the back
ground, and remarked, swell, ten thou
sand dollars for a niger" The crowd at
oncesaw the point and enjoyed the joke ex-
ceedingly. We do not recollect whether a
negro figured on the occasion of PERRY's
victory; but no matter; he now figures in
almost everything, and why should he not
figure in historical pictures that are now
being painted? In this particular Mr.. Pow
ELL has made happy hit, as "the sequel
will show"

why should mot Democrats Profit
by tine Suggestion


AL over the State, where the Admins
tration party has q majority, earnest apr
peals are made by their journals to make
the most strenuous efforts at the Spring cleo
tion to elect all their candidates. The Day
ton Journal uses this language:
''Voting the straight tickets the only prin-
ciple upon which party can be perpetuat-
ed. Scratching a candidate Is like neg
lecting a brigade in line of BATTLE"
1t will be seen from this paragraph that
scratching Tickets is reprobated in Admin
istration localities. Ifit is not proper for a
member of the Administration party to
scratch the Ticket where that party Is In
the ascendency, why should Democrats
think of doing any such thing? Do they
not feel the Importance Of perpetuating the
party? And as the party can only be per-
petuated by ''voting the straight Ticket"
no consideration should induce them to
vote a split Ticket. Neither In Cincinnati
nor Dayton, nor Cleveland, nor Toledo, nor
Sandusky, nor Chillicothe will members of
the Administration party split their Ticket.
Is this fact not conclusive argument why
Democrats should adhere to their party
nominations with the same unswerving
fi0eiltV! Jt

Its strangene.s Accounted For.

The Washington Chronicle, in the following
paragraph accounts for the strangeness OF
an immense army not succeeding better in
crushing out the insignificant army Of the
rebels:
sit may seem strange to many that with
so large an army as we have, we do not
crush the puny force opposed to us. 1t
must be recollected, however, that our op-
erations require large army, for we have
an enormous amount of territory to occupy
and guard. The series of operations now
in progress is certain in the end to effect
the object desired; but the plan which has
taken so much time to eliminate cannot be
hastily carried out. The rebel armies are
losing more by this long inaction than they
would in great battle"
Under these circumstances, is 1t not bet
ter to concur with GREELEY in the proprie-
ty of the President now concluding Peace
that will obviate the necessity of keeping
I'D this immense force?

why mOt Vote for n Further Re
siG dnctiOm of Prices?

We take it for granted, that almost every
person is gratiied over the great reduction
that has recently taken place in the price of
dry goods, provisions and groceries. Poor
people are certainly gratifed. The reason
for the decline in the prices of these things
is, because of belief that through the tri-
urnph Of our arms we shall soon secure
Peace. II is che prospect or hope of Peace
that runs prices down, and when Peace
shall have been actually secured, the price
of everything that enters into the matter of
living will be further reduced. The poor,
at least viii find living much more easy.
Why should they not, then, say, by voting
for the Democratic Ticket on Monday, that
inasmuch as Peace is now practicable, Pres
ident LINCOLN should restore 1t without
further delay2 iola 30 .6rol5laa

Xrnp6rlant Action by the House of
SIseprcsentatives I'm Relation to
,fhe, sale or Liquor.

SIsepresentatives i'm Relation to
afhe, sale or Liquor.
Yesterday the House of Representatives
passed q bill, the object of which is to ef-
fectually do away with the sale, and, conse-
quently, with the drinking Of liquor. The
bill prohibits the owners of property from
leasing 1t to be used to sell liquor in. 1t
provides, farther, that the costs and fines
that may be assessed on persons who shall
violate the law by selling liquor shall, in the
event of their non-payment by the offender,
be . lien on the property in which the
liquor was sold. We thought that the pass
age of bill by the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture disqualifying liquor dealer from serv-
ing on Jury was sufficiently puritanical;
but this action by the Ohio Legislature is
even more SO. Personally, this sort of leg
islation does not affect us. The next move
ment may be, to prohibit theaters and to
require people to 60 to church regularly.
We do not understand, exactly, why this
bill was passed at this time, unless it was
to take the sense of the people at the April
election, SO that the Senate can act under
on it. 1t is privately stated, that
il the Administration candidates shall be
elected this thing Of liquor selling and
liquor drinking will be stopped. In short,
that they will make out of our city sort of
second Paradise.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House bill amending the general tax
law, passed April 8, 1859, was lost upon It's
passage for want of constitutional major
ity in its favor, the vote standing IL yeas
to nays. ~ MA. ~ 4
Upon motion of Mr.. West the vote was
reconsidered. The question recurring upon
the passage Of the bill, Mr.. Converse moved
to refer the bill to select committee OF one,
with instructions to amend by inserting,
after the word stocks" the words, land
the other assets of the bank taxable by the
general laws of Ohio" The motion was lost
by the following vote:

NAYS s-Messrs. Bates, Cranor, Curtis, Dev-
in, Hall, Howells, Humphreyville, Jami-
son, Maginnis, McBurney, Newton, stan

On motion of Mr.. Maginnis, the bill was
referred to him, with instructions to insert,
after the word State" the words and all
assets of the bank not exempted from taxa
tion by the laws of the United States"
Mr.. Maginnis reported the bill back
as instructed. The Question now.
being upon agreeing to the report, It was
decided In the negative by the following
vote: ~. II

The bill was then passed, no one voting
in the negative. The principal feature In
this bill as passed into a law is, that 1t pro-
vides for the listing and taxation of "all
shares of stock in any national bank loca-
ed within this State, whether held or own |
d by residents or non-resldents OF the

THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made of;several hundred little
pieces, screwed together, the body Of the American
Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No jar in
