SKINNED MIX Legislation.

The Seneca Adterhser, in its last issue,
gave to its readers the following editorial.
1t is probable that in history the majority
members of the present Ohio Legislature
will be known as "Skimmed Milk" Lcgis.

An Unexpected Champion OF
State Rights.

Senator Hale, in the course of very ef-
fective reply to harangue of Charles Sum
ner against the Camden and Amboy Rail
road, uttered the following admirable senti-
ments: ...
II do not want to strike giant blows at
the rebellion, which, when they put that
down shall annihilatc the Constitution and
all State rights, SO that everything shall be
consolidated into one dcspotism.
"Mr. President, | have not been one of
those who have been loud or strenuous or
pcrsevering the assertion of the rights of the
States, but | believe that the existence of
the States and the proper preservation of
State sovereignty, State rights, and State
power are as necessary to the successful OPP
Grafton Of the system of our Government as
the L non, and if one or the other is to be
destro cd it had better be the Union than
the States, because ifthe Uuion is destroyed
and the States left, we then have civil gov
ernment and institutions left for recuperat-
ing and reconstrncting Union; but if the
States are destroyed and all swallowed up in
one military despotism, there is nothing left,
there is no nucleus around which the friends
of free institutions may rally"

Chief Justice Chase has ExpGsls-
ed Negro Suffrage.

Under date Of Washington, February 81,
the correspondent of The st. Louis RcpuJ-
kcun wrote:
''rhc third anniversary meeting of this
association, was held last night in the Hall
of Representatives, and drew together a
large cOncourse of whites and blacks, who
Unfortunately occupied seats on the floor
and in the galleries. 1t was social ming
ling of the races that must have gladdened
the hearts of the miscegenationists, who
have been wont to complain that the ne
gloes are backward in claiming their rights
for on this occasion the colored element of
the congregation largely predominated, and
evidently felt its superiority, notwlthstand-
ing the whites were sustained by the digni-
ty and talent of Chief Justice of the Su-
prene Court. several Senators and score of
members. The negroes were particularly
proud IF their choir; the singing of which,
to tell the TRUTH was the best part of the
performance.
Speeches were made by Chief Justice
Chase, presiding, DIR. Tompkins, an En-
gli>h Abolitionist. Theodore 'Tilton, Editor
Of The Nc.o York Independent, and Rev.
John Mitchell, Of New York. In the course
of his remarks, Mr. Chase declared that all
that was now wanting to enable the black
man to realize the full rights of freedom,
was the privilege Of the electiue franchise -
Said he, 1T only remains to arm him ,cith
the ballot" and in this all the other speak
ers expressed their concurrence, much to
the expressive qualification of the colored
people, who no doubt foolishly imagined the
efforts of such men as were then addressing
them, would be able to elevate them to So
o;al opd roltical aoualitv with the whites "
When we embarked in this war, we alleg-
cd that the only purpose by which we were
animated, was to restore the Union. Not
succeC ding satis sfactorily, men assuming to
be divinely inspired, insisted that it was ne
cessary to succeed to promtate the Lord by
proclaiming freedom to all the enslaved of
the African race living in the States and
Territories over which the Federal Govern
ment haG rightful jurisdiction. 1t is now
claimed that suffrage must be conferred upaa
on the BLACK man" 1t is not improbable
that in few months, any one who shall dis
sent from this proposition will be denounc-
cd as "disloyal' and as sympathizing with
treason. 1t is not long since Wendell Phil
lips said that our people would be glad to
confer the privilege of suffrage on the black
man" before the War is over. II the peo-
pie shall, at the ensuing Spring and Fall
elections, give to the Administration party
candidates such majorities as they gave to
them last fall, efforts undoubtedly will be
made to amend the Constitution of the D.
nited States, eonfering this privilege on the
black man." The next step in order will
be to give favor to measures contemplating
the commmgling of the white and black
races. - Ohio Statesman.

Democratic InfldeIs.

1nelc are Salu 10 De some people VINO arc
utterly discouraged in respect to their coun-
try, and desire to emigrate to Mexico and
become subjects TO little Austrian Max, who
Is about to regeNerdte Mexican moDgrels,
and to found permanent royal dynasty
in that interesting country. Now, We de-
sire to say few words to these people, not
based on any theory or speculation, but on
fact, and our absolute personal experience
of the matter.
But first, we must be permitted to say
that these desparing people are unworthy
the name of American when they thus pro
pose to abandon thoir country in its hour
of peril and danger. They assume that it
is useless to contend against these dangers
that Abolition cannot be overthrown---
and, therefore, they might as well submit to
destiny at once, and get out Of the way OF
ruin.
Of course they are not, and never can be,
Democrats; for Democrat believes that
Democracy is true, natural, immovable, and
everlasting; and, therefore, whatever the
obstacles in the way, or the dangers sur
rounding it for time, it must finally con-
quer, for truth is of God, and lies belong to
the devil In the second place, they are
Abolit onists, or practical believers in Abo-
lition, for their belief, that it cannot be over
thrown or expelled, carries this with it as a
necessity. Democracy is equal rights for all
who belong to the State or political commu-
nifty composed of their race or kind; and a
Democrat processing this, and knowing that
it rests on the natural equality, fixed by til !,
hand of God, never despairs Of the Repub-
lie or the success of Democratic institutions
Abolition assumed to abolish the distinc-
tions of race moulded and made by the
Almighty Creator, and forces white men
and negroes to live under the same condi-
tions; and therefore, unless creation is a
mistake, and "Old Abe wiser and more
powerful than Jehovah, it must fail, of
course.
But we desire to say to these unhappy
political infidels, who beliese in the potency
of Abolition, and that old Abe will carry the
day against the Almighty, that even if their
belief were well founded, Mexico offers no
asylum to them. On the contrary, Mexico
is Abolition nooo realized, and just where
old Abe would reach hundred years hence,
if the rebels are crushed, and his march
was uninterrupted. Finally, VIC desire to
say that while the mining States and east of
the Sierra Madra might sustain a certain
amount of white population, on the table
lands and valleys Of Mexico, the white man
can no more become laborer or producer
than oranges can grow at the north pole;
and therefore, unless they can live on air,
and are willing to marry their children to
negroes, and aid us to overthrow Abolition,
and save our glorious country. Day Book.

The Cost of ReyeMuc C0liec-
tfOna-

The Philadelphia Press states that "the.
internal revenue staff is at once too numer.
Gus and too costly; that three men are en-
ployed to do the work Of one, and that the
salaries and other emolumcnts Of Office are
exorbitantly great. y
The Press AYERS also that there are men
willing to contract for collecting the whole
interal revenue, income tax included, for
two per cent; whereas the actual cost under
the present corrupt and extrayagant man
agemcnt is over scrtn per cent: ..t
I'm this city Of Philadelphia, each Of the
four collectors Of internal revenue receive
salary considerably larger than the Vice
President of the United States, or any or
every member of the cabinet, is allowed; in
deed, considering that to this salary may bo
added q percentage on the sale Of stamps,
and that each recipient is under no necessi-
ty, as at Washington, to exercise a liberal
hospitality and make certain display, each
internal revenue collector here and in other
great cities, is much better off, in a pccuni,
airy manner, than the Vice President, /, ach
cabinet minister, the Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court, and most of our embassa-
dors to foreign countries. Ina point OF fact.
one active, intelligent, trustworthy person,
'WitH TedeoHaUle UuC hoL dosuTuly large
compensation, ought to be adequate to su-
pervise, as collector, the internal revenue
taxation even Of such great cities as New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore,
&c."
These are frank and honest admissions,
that do credit to the journal which condemns
its own party in making them. Three off,
GERS where one is needed. three thousahd
where one thousand would suffice, thirty
thousand Office holders where ten thousand
would do all the work; and tho cost Of col

From the Holmes County Farmer, March ..
Greatest Discovery of the Age!-
EneXhaustabIe soap Mines!-
Holmes County Ahead!


An unexplored cavern has long been
known to lie under Hon. d. p Leadbetter' S
farm, in Mechanic township. The cavern
has for generations been known to be hid
ing place for wild animals. Upon one occa-
| sion, some fifty years ago, white man and
an Indian entered it on an exploring expedi-
ton, but they never returned. A few days
ago plan was adopted by which the mys-
terious cavern might be safely examined
Very long ropes were procured, one end at
tached TO the body of each of the explorers
and the other end held by parties outside,
The explorers were in the cavern six hours
and twenty minutes. We have neither
| time nor space TO minutely describe the
many interesting discoveries. Many rooms
were found, profusely decorated with the
cunningly devised workmanship of nature;
an immense number of animal bones and
several human skeletons were observed by
the party; but more wonderful than all,
sbout six hundred yards from the mouth of
the cavern the party came upon remarka-
Bile Soap Mine, the vein being feet 10
inches thick and composed of the very best
quality of hard soap. In the immediate
vicinity of the mine, we'll was discovered
which will yield all the soft soap that can
be taken out of it.
There seems to be no doubt that this great
deposite of both soft and hard soap will
prove abundantly sufficient to supply the
whole country for an unlimited period, and
1t will produce a great revolution in the
soap. p.making business.
A joint stock company has been formed
for the purpose of working the mines A
railroad will be built early in the spring from
the mines down Sand Run to its mouth, and
hence to Milersburg, for the purpose of
carrying the soap to market. The following
are the officers of the company:

One hundred mechanics are wanted to
make boxes for the hard soap. One hun
dred and fifty good coopers can have con-
slant employment making barrels to contain
the soft soap.
We have tried the soap and have no
hesitancy in pronouncing it of the beat quail
ity-for superior to the ordinary country
soap, and preferable to the popular rosin
soap.
The stock of the company is in shares of
500 each. The stock is all taken On
Saturday last S., 900 was offered for single
share We think parties foolish for Offering
such prices notwithstanding share will
Weld a fortune in year or two, There are
other caves in the neighborlpod, and we
have no doubt other rich deposites OF soap
will be discovered at an carly day
When the soap, coal and oil of Holmes
county become fully developed. it will be
one of the richest counties in the United
States.
We shall give further particulars of the
soap business in week or two. Those who
wish to, can see specimens of the soap at
