The Working People.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch reports that there
is prospect of another lockout in the glass
works of that city. The proprietors of
several of the glass factories have closed
their works, and intend to keep them closed
until their employees agree TO reduction
of wages. 1t is reported that some twenty
five workmen have been discharged from
the Bordentown IN. J.) Machine Works on
account of the want of employment. The
Louisville Journal says that there are more
unemployed people in Louisville now than
at any time within it's knowledge, and the
Neao Hauen Register says that more men are
out of employment to-day in New Haven,
than at any previous time in the last ten

To the Editors Of the Ohio Statesman: a@l
GENTLEMEN: In your columns of the
18th ult., appeared an item, copied from the
Woodsfeld (O.) Spirit of Democracy" which
reflects very severely upon the manage
ment of. the Central Ohio Lunatic Asylum
in the case Of a recent suicide in that insti-
tuition.
The spirit of the ssSpirit" is easily explic-'
able by reference to the files of your paper
about the 10Th of January last, in which
among the locals may be found notice of
an amputation performed by Prof. Hamil-
ton upon patient in the Asylum, and mem
ton of the fact that the patient. with two
others, had been confined in the Monroe
county Jail to await removal to Columbus,
and that all three had their feet or other
portions of their bodies frozen whilst thus
in Jail. 500.
The officers of the Asylum have paid no
attention whatever to this item from the
Spirit" knowing, as they do, that to any
one acquainted with suicidal insanity the
charges made against them will appear
simply absurd but for the benefit of those
who have confided their friends to the care
of these officers, beg leave to state the fol-
lowing, which I have gathered from the
books of the Institution, to which have
been allowed access lately: f.f
During the year ending November 1st,
1867, there were under treatment in the
Asylum Jiue hundred and one patients. From
this number there were discharged recov-
cred one hundred and t,centy Jfve, and only
fifteen died. Since the 1st of November.
1863. there have been received into that in
stitution from Monroe county t,oenty four
patients. OF these have been discharged
recovered, ten discharged improved, three.
discharged unimproved, too died, three
OF these deaths one was that by suici de !;
another was from frozen feet upon which
gangre enc had set in before the man was
brought to the institution. In the Asylum
for twenty months past there have been
constantly under treatment from thirty to
forty patie nts with suicidal tendencies
Within that time but this one has succeed
ed in self-destr uction. They who have
been with the suicidal insane and know the
desperate persistency with which they pur-
sue their fatal purpose, will be very far
from blaming the management of an insti-
tuition that can show such record as this.
In the case in question we do not wish to
drag before the public the sad details
Suffice it to say, that no fault could be
attached to any person for the patients
success in his designs; the occurrence was
such an one as will sometimes take place in
any Asylum in spite of every possible pre-
caution. x.

A Radical Delegate to the Abolition
black and tan Constitutional Conventions,
drew up an ordinance to divorce all who
participated in the late civil War, which
he induced negro delegate to offer. On
a point of order, it was ruled out. This
precious document is as follows:
By the late rebellion all who
participated therein In the State OF Ala
bama, were guilty of treason: and whereas,
treason being the greatest OF crimes, IN,
wolves all others, and should be punished
with forfeiture of all rights, privileges ana

wolves one of the most valued of social and
legal rights,
Therefore be it ordained by the people of
Alabama. in Convention assembled: That
all who participated in, or orsympathized with
the late rebellion againstthe United States,
are guilty of treason, and are hereby de-
clared to be traitors, and are hereby de-
clared to have incurred all the penalties OF

to such criminals; and whereas, such trail

to them should be absolved in law from all
obligations of every kind, moral, social,

further ordained, That any woman who
may have entered into the bonds of mat

hereby, authorized and empowered to file
in the Probate Court of the county in

GOOD suxrestiou,.

Several days ago the Cincinnati Enquirer
made q couple of suggestions we consider
most wise, and, therefore, give to them eur
hearty APPROVAL We observe that the In
dtanapohs Herald likewise gives to them
strong appreciation. The Democracy of
Indiana meet In State Convention at Indi-i
annapolis on the 9Th of January for the same
purpose that the Democracy of Ohio meet
in State Convention on that day IN Eoiam-s
bus. The suggestions. therefore, are equal,
ly as applicable to Indiana as they are to
Ohio. ,.....-..-......
The first stsuggestion is, In view of the cir
cumstsnces, that Senatorial and Congress
sional Delegates to the Democratic Nation
al Convention are to be chosen at the State
Convention, that the Democracy of the re-
spective counties see to it that their best
men are sent up as Delegates to the State
Convention. The more eminent the Del
egation is for ability and character the
greater the influence it will be enabled to
exercise in promoting the nomination of
Ohio's choice for the Presidency. That
such Delegation may be chosen it is nee
essary that each county send its picked
men up to the State Convention.
The other suggestion that the Enquire,
has made is, that the men put in nomina-
tion for Electors be men who are good pub
lie speakers. Each Elector should have
the ability to ably discuss, and who will
take pleasure in discussing, the issues BY
which the Democratic and Republican par.
ties are divided. As all of our public
lspeakers will be expected t, do q very
large amount of public speaking in thu
Icampaign we are now about to enter upon
as they did in the past campaign. it is par
ticularly appropriate that the Elector
should be chosen from their ranks. 1t will
serve as a recognition of their services II
the past and will stimulate them to a cheer
full and vigorous participation in the ensu
ing Presidential canvass. Ohio will be tn
battle-ground. As goes Ohio so will goth,
Union. Hence, 1t is necessary that ever,
efficient Democratic speaker in the Stat
should betimes be enlisted in the cause o
the country's redemption and aseffectiv
a way as possible to do this, is to maxi
Electors and Delegates out of them. Th,
candidates for Con gress will likewise, un
doubtedly, be distinguished for their abili
lty. With first class men for Delegates Il
the National Convention, for Electors ant
for Members of Congress, such a powe
will be put into successful operation as vii
assuredly achieve success for the Demo
cratic party. -..-.-- --..-.-

Nothing More TO he Heard of the
Measure.

The special Washington telegram of the
Cincinnati Gazette, says:
THE House Judiciary committee has not
yet formally considered Kelsey's bill sus-
pending civil officers, against whom articles
of Impeachment are presented, but 1t Is
known that a majority is opposed to 1t, and
now that the case against the President has
been disposed Of it is probable nothing
more will be heard of this measure"
This is the bill that was to create vscan-
cy in the Office of President, as soon as the
impeachment Resolution passed the House,
and before that officer was tried the con-
viction and punishment to precede the trial.
As the House failed to impeach, the Ga
ze,te says, nothing more will be heard of the
m maasure. This is to be taken as an acknowl-
edgement of the fact by an impeachment
organ that the project was to be passed
merely to put BEN WADE into the Presi-
dency.
