THE E1GHr-HoUR Law.


The bill which passed the House BY a
a large majority early in the session, and
was passed by the Senate also by deeis-
i've vote, with few slight amendments,
did not become a law, and went over
among the unfinished business till next
session-the House having failed to take
it up after it came from the Senate. 1t
is an important measure, if adopted will
seriously disturb if not revolutionize our
labor system, and the attention of the
people will doubtless be directed to its
character during the recess, which will
enable members on re-assembling to act
understandingly in rejecting the senti-
nents of their constituency by their votes.
It is manifest that while members gen.
orally were not inclined to run risks of
loss of popularity by opposing the meas
ure, there was disposition on the part
Of each House to SHIFT the responsibility
of its defeat upon the other. We do not
think the people of the State generally,
whether employers or employees, consid-
er ten hours an unreasonable days woEk,
or that there can be much oppression
when that length Of time is not exceeded.
It is within the recollection of most
persons when it was not an unusual thing
to labor twelve to fifteen hours of the
twenty-four. IF a law should pass re-
ducing a legal days labor from ten to
eight hours, most persons would make
their contracts for work BY the hour
rather than by the day, and the result
would be no more favorable to the en-
ployee than under the present rule. Our
Representative. Mr.. HOugh. was one of
the few Who voted against the bill when
it passed the House, aud we have heard
no fault found with him for having so
voted.

A NEW CALAaTTY-THE BUTTER DIS
EASE IN NEW YORK-The New Y York
Citizen states that the cattle plague has
already made Its appearance in a mild
fern In this country. The cattle here, It
is reported, have not yet begun to die
from it IN its acute form, and with its US
ual disgusting symptoms when under full
headwsy but the butter Is peculiarly
offensive and siekening TO WhOmsOever
may partake oft In any quantity, emitting
a slight but positively loathsOme Odor
when held to the nose, and likely TO cause
giddIness, intense depression Of spirits
and general lassitUde.
The color of the butter gives no safe
criterion for sOundness, varying with diff
erent animals when differently fed or pas
tured The milk, too, Is of course affect
ed and made somewhat unhealthy by the
disease; but not so much so as the butter
(of which it yields very httle) IN which
the intense virus of the malady would
seem to be condensed and intensified
Many of our most distinguished city
doctors have Of late been called IN to at
tend patients suffering from the symptoms
we have already noticed. forming clearly
a new disease, bat one, which at first, they
knew not how to diagnose or classify IN
der any recognized head or family of NAL
aides.
This doubt has been at length unhap-
PLY dispelled By the scientific research of
! scme eminent physicians from Germany
and England, who had recent and eXten-
sive acquaintance with the rinderpest OF
cattle plague, In its varying and often
most subtle forms. and who are unani-
nous in expressing their belief that this
new disease. chiefly appearing in those
who eat butter carried from certain dis
tricts to the New York markets, is but
another manifestation of the cattle plague
i in one Of its earlier and milder forms.

THE COLvIN HoMICIDE.-The muir
der of Mrs. Colvin at Olmstead Falls,
Ohio, has been cleared up. It will be
remembered that the woman's husband
was arrested as the suspected murderer,
was charged with shedding IS crocodile
tears, &c. over the body of his wife
He has been confined in the Cleveland
jail until the present time, but he persis-
ted in declaring his innocence and charg-
ing one Mcdonnell with being the proba-
bic murderer, and he last saw his wife in
his company. As Mcdonnell had gone
to Ottawa, Canada, a detective was sent
there, and he now telegraphs that he has
found Mcdonnell, discovered on his per-
son proofs of his guilt, has secured his
arrest and is now awaiting a requisition
from the Governor of Ohio or Secretary
Seward for his rendition. When this in
telligence was broken to Colvin In the
Cleveland Jail, yesterday, he was nearly
crazy with JOY at his release from danger
and q horrible suspicion. The theory
now is that Mcdonnell robbed the house
of Colvin while the family were absent
and that on leaving the house he was
confronted by Mrs. Colvin. To relieve
himself from suspicion and secure his
paltry booty, he then, in the most brutal
and revolving manner, murdered the Wo-
man, the only witness of his theft.

REVENUE FROM THE SOUTH.-No fact
more clearly illustrates the rapid recOv-
cry of the southern States from the rU-
inous effects of the late fearful war than
the returns of revenue received by the
national treasury from that section Of the
country. These foot up nearly twenty
nine millions of dollars from April. 1865.
to February LIST, 1866. This is a large
sum to be derived from a country so des-
olated as the South was left by the war
and although many persons thought 1t
harsh in the governments to demand rev.
enue from people so apparently helpless,
yet our own idea was that the enforce
ment of the revenue laws at the south
would benefit those States rather than in
jure them. When the imperative neoes-
sity of raising money TO pay taxes brought
home to the southern people the fact
that they must resume work, they soon
began to to endeavor to arrange terms
with the freedmen. The enforcement of
these taxes has therefore compelled ac-
tivity in every branch of business at the
south.

NATIONAL BANK SHARES TAXABLE.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that shares in Nation
al Banks are subject to uniform taxation,
but cannot be any different rule from
that applied to by State Banks. The shares
of the State Bank in this State are not
taxable, being exempt by the terms of
their character. Whether such an ex-
emption would be extended to the Ma
tional Banks in this State, under the ru-
ling of the Supreme Court, is questiona-
Bile. We believe the character of the
State Bank of Ohio expires by limita-
ton On the first of May next.

HOMICIDE IN BUTLER CoUNTY.--A
fatal scene occurred on Friday last says
the Cincinnati Gazette, in the town of
New London, Butler county, which not
only sent CONSERVATION and grief into a
large circle of relatives and friends, but
greatly shocked the whole community.
A Mr. Mcbride and Mr. Mulholland
residing in or near the town, married sis
ters, and both had small families On
Friday, MulhOlland, accompanied by his
wife, rode up to the residence of his
brother in-law, called him out, and shot
him dead, alleging as his reason for so
doing, that Mcbride had been telling
tales to his (Mulholland's) wife about
his coniugal infdelity.
He then drove to Magistrates Office,
and wished to pay a fine for carrying
concealed weapons but he was very soon
arrested on the charge of murder

The Cleveland Herald says of crop
prospects in Northern Ohio, that there
has been great damage to fruit during
the late cold weather, and that in some
places the early fruits are entirely de-
stroyed. The injury to wheat, which, es-
pecially In some of the third or fourth
tier of counties from the Lake, was
thought to be nearly fatal, is not as
great as at first apprehended. Early an
tieipations of a great failure in the maple
sugar product are also found to be erro-
neous in a greater or less degree.

from Honduras. In payment for their
medicines, which are extensively sold
throughout Central America Among

are the rude images which have been ia
ken from the graves Of the Chiriqui chiefs
birds, turtles, serpents, bugs and rep
tiles done in solid gold. They carry Us
back beyond historic times, to periods
and places where barbarism reigned su-
preme. They seem to come here now in
mute appeal from the winding sheets of
their ancestors, to ask for the simple In
dians In the mountains, medical protec-
tion from cultivated skill, against diseas-
es which gather them up in too early
graves. Ignorant and unletlered as they
are, they have learned Of the white man
enough to know where to apply for relief,
and what will bring it. Our well known
tOWnsmen, above named, inform us that
they require their remittances from for
eign countries now to be made in silver
