The Seneca Advertiser, in its last issue, gave
to its readers the following editorial. 1t is
probable that in history the majority-mem-
bers of the present Ohio Legislature will
be known as "Skimmed Milk" Legislators,
and yet the people, under the delusion that
they are serving the cause OF their country
may elect majority to the next Legisla-
ture that will not have the merit of having
the capacity of even skinned Milk" Leg
islators: .y.,. f,.-Er
In order to give our readers some idea OF
the manner i'm which the Abolition Legis-
lature of Ohio spend their time aud the
money of the people, we would call their
attention to a certain bill that passed the
House of Representatives, and is now be-
fore the Senate. The bill was introduced
by a Mr.. Woodbery, of Geauga county
It proposes to assess a fine OF twenty dol
lars upon every person who shall sell or
offer to sell SKINNED milk" or who snail
retain that part of a milking called strip
pinqs." 1t passed the House in that shape.
when it came before the committee OF the
Whole in the Senate, several amendments
were offered by Democrats, one OF which
was, to insert after the word ''milk'' the fol-
lowing .sOr milk that was milked on Sun
day, or by any slave or slaves, contrary to the
late amendment of the Constitution OF the
United States" Coming from distoydL
source, the amendment was voted down, OF
course. Another Democrat moved to strike
out the letter 'g" in the word ''strippings,"
so as to give it true Western Reserve
twang.
When the bill was afterwards reported
back to the Senate, Lang, of Seneca, moved
to insert new section as follows: "Sec 8.
All fines collected by virtue of this act,
shall be paid into the Treasury OF State ior
the use of the American Colonization Socie-
ty,n Mr.. .Gunckel, from Montgomery, NOV
ed to amend the amendmentby striking out
.American Colonization Society,"" and in
serting in lieu thereof "The Vallandigham
FUND.- Mr.. Lang accepted the amendment
and the Senate refused to adopt the section,
but referred the bill to the standing COM
mittee on Agriculture! Ju
"This is the way the corn went" as Coy
ernor Medill used to say. At time like
this, when the storms of war shrek around
our dwellings, and the Provost Marshal raps
at every door for conscripts; when sugar,
coffee, tea, butter, pork and beef are
strangers on the poor mars table, when
taxes are piling up mountain high and the
nations future looks dark, one hundred and
thirty grave and sage Legislators spend time
and the peoples money over "skimmed
milk.n ..:L-..

of this time he was jealous and able supporter OF

was the same year elected Representative In the

called, which vote brought upon him such weight
of Iium from his constituency that he was not re-

he was again chosen to represent the county. such

Washington City, which he accepted, and continued
in it some eight or nine years, when he returned
again to Columbus. But being now advanced in

to refer with pleasure to the fact, that both as

his vote on the BLACK Laws, he prided himself that
he had been thirty forty years in advance Of pub

As an Editor, Judge Smith was able and fearless
in advocating what he believed to be right, and
condemning the wrong. In his private character be

When we embarked in this war, we al
legged that the only purpose by which we
were animated, was to restore the Union.

ferred upon the "black man." 1t is not I'M
probable that In few months, any one
who shall dissent from this proposition will
be denounced as ''disloyal" and as sympa-
thizing with treason. 1t is not long since
WENDELL PHILLIPS said that our people
would be glad to confer the privilege of
suffrage OH the "black man" before the War
Is over. If the people shall, at the ensuing
Spring and Fall elections, give to the Ad-
ministration party candidates such maiori-
ties as they gave to them last fall, efforts
undoubtedly will be made to amend the
Constitution of the United States, confer
ring this privilege on the "black man, !" The
next step in order will be 20 give favor to
measures contemplating the commingling
of the white and black races.

The TrI.I of Gen. Paine.

The Louisville Journal of the I'd gives its
readers the following in relation to Gen.
PAINE and his trial: -R
1t is stated boastfully in the radical pa
pers, that General Paine, now on trial at
Paducah for maladm'nistration there, is
sustained thus far against all charges. III
General Paine shall be acquitted after an
evidently fair and full trial, no one will be
reader than ourselves to do him ample JUS
tice. We shall in that case be prompt to
unsay what we have said Of him upon the
strength of very strong testimony.
But a letter from gallant officer at Pa
ducah, who is very familiar with General
Paine's case, contains a remarkable state
ment. The officer says that, among the
charges sent to Washington by the Court
of Inquiry, against Paine, there was one TO
the effect that he ordered two men, a citi-
zen and soldier, summarily shot upon his
own responsibility without trial, and an
other to the effect that, of his own authori-
ty, he levied various sums, from $1,000 up
to $4,000, upon men and women In Paducah
and its vicinity. The writer of the letter
alleges that the Advocate General of the
United States, in sending to Paducah list
of the charges upon which Paine should be
tried, omitted those two very ugly ones as
well as others that could easily be proved,
setting down only such as might probably
be got over with ease; and the Judge-Ad-
yocate of the Court considers himself as
having no right to insert charges that the
Advocate General chose to leave out. The
author of the letter further says that the
important witnesses for the prosecution arr
away--,chp he knows not, and, that yerJ
strong outside pressure Is brought to bear
the friends of Paine proclaiming that m
will be reinstated In thirty days, and tina
his enemies will have need to- look to them
selves. II these things are true, the trial
30 called, is cheat, an imposition, hum

Wool Trade.

The wool trade in the East still continues
languid, and sales are effected with difficult
ty. Most of the holders are reported to be
disposed to make concessions, yet those who
have the backing are stiff. In New York,
sales of Michigan and New York wool are
being made at from 80 to Doc, while Ohio
ranges all the way from 95c to 81 10. Great
care is taken to withhold from the public
the figures at which sales are made, and
most reports now given are not entirely re-
liable. From friend who has just return
ed from watching the trade in New York
and the East, and who is well posted, we
get our figures.-Ohio Farmer, March A.
