PROCEEDINGS OF PTHELEGISLATURE z.
JAN. l2.-In the Senate Mr.. Griswold in
troduced bill relating to guardian and ward.
1t authorizes guardians to sell the property
of their wards at private sale, and restrain
such sale or such property either at private
sale, and restrain such sale of such property,
either at private or public sale, at less than
the appraised value.
In the House Mr.. Boynton's bill to amend
the code of civil procedure WAS passed, to so
amend Section III, of the code of civil pro-
cedure as to authorizs defendants under ar
rest in civil cases, to move to vacate the
order of arrest at any time before judgment.
Mr. Lockwood offered resolution declar-
ing that poll taxes are grievious and oppres-
sive, and contrary to the Constitution Of
Ohio, therefore, the law requiring two days
labor on the highways ought to be repealed.
Laid on the table.
JAN. 14-In the Senate bill was intro
duced to authorize County Commissioners to
construct roads on the petition of a majority
of the resident land owners and taxpayers
flong the line and adjacent to the roads.
1n the House, Mr.. Greene, of Washington
county, offered a resolution to the effect that
Congress in passing, over the President s
veto, the suffrage bill, giving the right Of
franchise to all loyal citizens in the Dis
triot Of Columbia, irrespective Of color, mer-
its and receives the thanks Of this General
Assembly. sf-H
Mr.. Trumbull gave notice of purpose to
discuss the bill, and it was by rule laid over
for one day,

Congress has passed both the Ne
bryska and Colorado hills as amended
forbidding them to restrict the right OF
suffrage. 1t is only Ettle more than
twelve years ago that a Nebraska billn
revolutionized the country. In 1854.
that famous measure sent the Demo
cratic party to the tombof the Cauplets.
To be sure, it did not 60 "all at once"
Party drill, old associations, etc, gave
it show of vitality for some time, but
it really died of "Eebrasky," aud was
buried. That was the beginning of its
end. The Nebraska bill now on the
tapis gives ominous forbodings that
''history moves in eircles;" that it re-
peats itself about every dozen years,
these fast times, or such a matter. Po-
litical power is based on the quick-sandy
foundation of color. This relic of bar
barbarism ought not 10 be tolerated in
an age of civilization. We know that
many State Constitutions have similar
provisions. But they were framed long
ago. Many State Constitutions, not
long ago, recognized slavery, too. The
fact would be just as good for the ad-
mission Of a slave State into the Union,
as for the admission of one with white
qualification of franchise. The abolition
of slavery, was the abolition of all poiti-
cal distinctions on account of race or
color.

uRIAH HEAPTSH.

A paper published in Sandusky City
NOT by any means the Register-has
been writing up Mr.. Edmund &. Ross,
now U. s. Senator from Kansas, who
was at one time, it seems, resident of
SanIusky and printer by trade. Mr..
Ross was so unfortunate as to have been
an office associate of the editor of the
paper to which we allude, and this fact
is given considerable prominence in the
editors article, AS will be observed by
this:
The writer of this was intimately acquaint-
ed with Mr. Ross, and knew well his worth.
We have raced with him more than once at
tbecase, and in type-settius he almost always
iistanced u.s. as he has since SO signally out
run Us in the race for distipction!' !''
Such candid acknowledgment of in
Geriority is certainly praiseworthy, aud
viii no doubt cause melancholy feeling
for the tumble writer 10 stir in Ar. Ross
breast. No one could have been more
astonished than Mr.. Ross himself at his
appointment to fill the vacancy as Uni
ted States Senator by the Governor
of Kansas, and he probably knew well
enough, as everybody else did, that he
received the appointment not on account
of his prominence or ability or influ-
ence as public man, but for the very
reason that he had none of these quail
ties.
The Sandusky editor, however, ''cau't
see IT. in that light, and after the above
charming sample of selfdepreciation,
gives US a touch of ''hefty praise"
which is unsurpassed, whether viewed
architecturally or geographically:
''The highest collegiate education Sena-
for Ross ever obtained wss received within
lhs walls of the Sandusky High School, and
TO that institution, then under the suPervi-
zion Of our present Superintendent, is due the
credit of giving the last scholastic touches to
nne of the finest ornaments that now decorate
the highest branch Of our National Legisls-
ture."

tFor the frenoHt journal,
RidfamIo.

Ridiculs be.rs very di.rsputabls name
in society. 81 ~
II, rs general thing, falls from the tongue
Of persons who desire their names to stand
frat among those Of society.
Yet that chronological organ of mirthful-
ness predominates so largely, that these IN
dividuals have no control over their invidious
feelings, and make remarks in q slurrirg
manner, with reference to others more spot
less and more innocent than themselves.
Ridicule is often the weapon of persons
who desire to hold high positions in worldly
affairs, and who suppose that they can gain
a high reputation by finding fault with and
eriticising the errors of others.
II makes us unpopular with friends and
associates, who always fear the satirist. 1t
may be that no harm is meant by the person
who sets himself up for censor, but the keen
edge Of the weapon goes home and wounds,
and % it turns cut that the warmeet friends
are secrstly-if not openly alienated and the
corps Of companions grows one the less.
The ridieule offools il to be feared, no. that
Of wise men. True moral courage asn never
be scoffed out of good resolutionf
The legitimate objects at which the weap-
ons of ridicule may be aimed are foolish
assumption, petty pride and open or conceal
ed vices. II is well sometimes to trip up the
heels of folly or to smite the cheek Of ridicu-
lous pretenes. II. We ridieule only mean,
proud and foolish actions or vice in its thou
sand forms, we shall do well

THR rEsr oArH DECISION.

Following closely on the heels of the
extrajudicial opinion in the Milligan
case, the majority of the judges of the
Supreme Court of the United States
have decided "that the law of Congress,
passed in 1852, requiring attorneys at
law to take an oath, before being allow
cd to practice in the Courts of the Uni
ted States, that they have never volun-
tarly participated in the rebellion, OF
taken up arms against the United States,
DC, is unconstitutional and void, and
that State laws, similar in character, are
also unconstitutional and void"
The pith of the Objectionable feature
of this decision is this, that Congress,
invested as it is by the Constitution,
with the sole power to establish the tri-
bunals of the United States, to limit
their jurisdiction, or extend it at pleasure
to create and abolish Courts, as in It's
judgment shall seem best-Congress, so
clothed with Constitutional authority,
cannot, according to this decision, ex-
clude red-handed traitor from practis-
ing in one of these very Courts into
which it breathes the breath of life,
which is dependent upon it for its juris-
diction and the very breath of its exist
ence. Chief Justice Chase aud two Of
the judges dissent from this opinion,
but their dissent is powerless to prevent
the mischief that will follow.

HOW TO GET RID OF THE NATIONAL
DEBT.

The N. Y. Post suggests the following
plan of getting rid of the National debt j:
There are twenty millions of people in
the North. If each one of these would
destroy fve-cent currency note daily
it would amount to million of dollars
in a day towards the removal of the
national debt If this were done every
day for year it would diminish the
debt by three hundred and sizty-ive
millions of dollars yearly, which is more
than the whole internal revenue produ-
ces. We know a man who thinks it is
his duty TO burn five-cent bill every
day on this account, 1t is less than the
tax on q glass of whisky.

eEA new and dangerous imitation of the
