REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE ONO Leg
ISIATURE.


The Ohio Legislature adjourned on Mon
day ldst, May ls, until the 23d Of Novcm
Der next.
II will he remembered that gentlemen
comprising the majority Of that body, aud
the party to which they belong, made econ
Omy, retrenchment aud regard for the pub.
lilo interest, their battle cry in tho political
contest last fall. In that campaign they ex
mtingly exclaimed to the constituency Of
this Stae, only place MS who represent
the Democratic party in power, aud VIC
will show you The true virtues of patriot
ism by practising economy, aud advancing
tho public iAierests.'
Well, tho people of Ohio granted that
very plausible request. They have placed
these delectablo patriots in power, and
now after a fair trial through one long and
tedious session, the constituency of the
whole State bavo realized tho force Of the
adage, They who SOW to the wind, shall
reap tho the whirlwind." Nover before IN
the history Of any State has there beeu
such a tornado OF devastation manifested
by the uprooling OF statute, and even con
rliiutional laws--merely for party pur
poses and selfish ends
The acts OF the Ohio Legislature, during
the late session, has furnished satisfactory
evidence, that the blatant outcry last fall
was mcre buncombe. OF that there can be
10 mistake. Indeed the measures passed
10y that body are such as reflect ON the con
vcirusncss of education, of morals, and OF
Justice. With thcm Legislative action has
boen mere party trickery their blatant cry
of economy has proved to bo a farce; and
their palaver on the subject of patriotism,
is manifcsily humbug. OF that tho peo.
lie arc now generally satisfied, aud the
time is now anticipated when the errors
aud the ncgligonces of last fall shall be re-
doomed, aud by their emphatic voice at the
ballot box, these demogogues, and their
acts will he cxecrated.
As an illustration of Democratic economy
ws copy tho following from tho Columbus
.Iournui;
"By the adjournment of tho Legislature
last Monday this State has had just o
hundred aud seventy-ihroo days Of Demo.
cratic legislation during one year. This is
rot bad for retrcnchmcnt Legislature, in
view Of tho fact that the longest session OF
Republican Legislature toy ten years was
ono hundred aud twenty seven days. Aud
this was in 1861, when tho session was
prolonged to provide for tho exigencics Of
the war--thc equipment aud support OF
troops, &c, &c,
Tho appropriation for the per diem aud
mileage alone OF members and officers. up
10 the present timo is ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. This docs not
embrace the enormous expense for station.

Last year the appropriation of tho Re.
publican Legislature for the purpose sim

thousand dolhrs--a difference of FIFTY

LET ACTION DE THE MOTTO.


The disappointment resulting from TIE
non,convietion of President JOHNSON, oL
the indictment contained in tho Elevouth
Article Of Impeachment has already given
place TO the firm determination to meet
that issue by diligent action and reso'
lutte policy in the Congressional aud Pres

The process by which the temporary
success Of JouNssN has bean achieved, is
too plain to need comment Tho New
York World openly and boldly proposed
to raise ten millions of dollars for the put
pose Of buying Republican Senators, How
well that plan has succeeded may be judged
b. tho statements made by the correspond

THE CHIMNEY CORNER. BY Christopher Crowfleld,
author Of blouse and Home Papers" and "Little
Foxes"
Christopher Crowfeld is the nom de plume OF Mrs.
Harriet Beecner Stowe, under which is discussed, by
the way Of dialogue in the CHIMNEY Corner, num-
Der Of subjects Of a social domestic and political
character. In the work before US there are great
many critical and just remarks on the fashions and
folies Of the day and Of the reforms needed In our
domestic and social habits with good deal Of excel
lent advice In this respect 1t is useful book and
may be read with profit. The style is simple and
natural dialogues should be- and is good deal after
the Of Sunday school exhortatons But II any
one expects TO find anything OF the interest sensa
ton In this work In that other one Of Mrs. Stowe
{" Uncle Toms Cabn'D, they will be disappointed:
Mrs. Stowe reached the climax Of her capacity and
fame In Uncle Toms Cabin" There are, however,
all the traits OF her New England education and
prejudices and Of her radicalism In the "Chimney
Corner as In her first work. The negro, the rebels
Congress, the President and great deal more OF
party and sectional nature, all in true New England
radical STYLE dragged in through the three hun
dred pages of moralizng dialogue. In spite OF these
defects the work Is calculated to do good and Mrs
Stowe may be pardoned for them II she succeeds In
reforming the taste and social and domestic habits
Of her New England countrywomen

Our Abyssininn Correspondence

On Monday and on yesterday we published
long, able and interesting letters from the pen
OF our special correspondent at the head
quarters of the British army in Abyssinia. It
is in no spirit of selfadulation we say it that
no such letters for fulness and accuracy, not to
speak of the speed with which they have been
brought to us, have been printed in any Eng
lish journals. We have already been ahead of
the London Times and the British War Office
with our telegraphic dispatches. It is but
truth and justice to say that the information
which it was in our power to give at head
quarters in Great Britain has been gratefully
received and graciously acknowledged. There
are points in our correspondents letter which
will be as fresh and as startling in London as
were our telegraphic dispatches.
1t is manifest from the letter of our CORE
spondent that Sir RobertNapier, notwithstand-
ing his evident power to command men and
the certain success which awaits him, has
the release of the prisoners. If he does not
succeed in rescuing the prisoners at once the
rains and floods will be upon him and he will
find it hard to maintain his position and i'm
possible to march back to the sea. There is
one remark which our correspondent seems to
have caught from the lips Of Sir Robert
Napier himself and which Enthusiastically sh ows
that other motives than that of rescuing the
prisoners gave shape to the expedition. This
is England's usual custom. The apparent
motive is never the strongest in determining q
course of foreign invasion. The conquests Of
England have no doubt often marked the
progress of civilization; but whether this
Abyssnan invasion is to result in conquest or
to prove gain to civilization are questions as
vet of somewhat doubtful solution

The terrible accident on the Erie Railway, a
full and graphic account of which we publish
this morning, equals in its distressing details
and terribly fatal result any Of the calamities
that have preceded 1t for many years past. From
the most reliable sources the deaths are re-
ported to be likely to reach thirty to forty,
while large number of persons are severely
injured and many of them will be crippled for
life The accident unfortunately happened at
one Of the worst spots on the road and as at
Angola the cars were precipitated over pre-
cipice from which few feet, one way or the
other, would have saved them, so in the pre-
sent case the exact place where the disaster
occurred was the most fearful and dangerous
for many miles east or west. The height Of
the embankment down which the unfortunate
passengers were hurled was little over
seventy feet, and the rough character of the
rocky ground rendered the injuries of fearful
description. Indeed, 1t is amazing that the
instant destruction of life was not even greater
than is reported. The most heartrending fea-
lures of the calamity were the burning of the
sleeping car and the horrible fate of those poor
creatures who, probably only wounded by the
fall, persisted in the flames. The character
of the accident was such as to neces-
sarily incapacitate those who fortunately
escaped with only trihing injuries from
collecting their presence Of mind sufficiently to
render prompt assistance to their fellow pas
sengers. However, nothing that could be
done to relieve the sufferinrs of the wounded
as soon as they could be reached, was ne
| elected; and the officers and employees of the
road and the citizens of Port Jervis and the
vicinity are said to have been untirng in their
efforts to render every assistance and comfort
in their power. The cause of the accident was
a defective rail, which broke as the engine
and forward cars Of the train passed over 1t,
and thus far we have heard of no blame being
attached TO the company.

Tho Hell Gate Pilot Lave.

In the Assembly on Tuesday the Hell Gate
Pilot bill passed to q third reading, with an
amendment repeating the section authorizing
pilots to tow vessels through that channel.
This tinkering of the laws relative to He'll Gate
sprung out of the rival interests of the tugboat
men, the pilots and the ship owners. The
provision authorizing the pilots to collect half
pilotage from ship captains who refuse to
employ them was objected to by the shipping
interest. The tugboat men, of course, were in
favor of any clause which would throw bust
ness into their hands. Now, all this legislation
about He'll Gate is very petty and insig
nificant thing. There is very simple way of
getting rid of the whole business, and that is
by clearing the channel of the dangerous rocks
which obstruct navigation. Then we would
not be worried with either legislation or COM
plants from pilots and tugboat men. If the
general government does not feel it a duty to
clear out this important entrance to the me-
trOpolis, let the merchants and ship owners of
New York do it themselves. 1t is worthy of
note in regard to the interests of the pilots and
the tugboats, that large number of these boats
are owned in other cities-Troy, Albany,
Jersey City, Philadelphia, and many of them in
Connecticut-and the money they earn in our
waters is spent elsewhere. Not so, however,
with the pilots-they are New York institu-

The first article of impeachment declares
that Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, on certain day, in the city of Washing
ton, unmindful of the high duties of his office,
&C., did unlawfully and in violation of the
constitution and laws of the United States,
issue an order for the removal Of Edwin M.
Stanton from the Office of Secretary Of War,
and that by so doing ''the said Andrew Johnson
did then and there commit and was guilty of
high misdemeanor in Office" Mr.. William Pitt
Fessenden, the learned Senator from Maine,
who has sat in that august body for some
eighteen years, and not very long since occupied
the position Of Secretary of the Treasury, will
be required to pass judgment upon that article.
Can he say upon his oath, and with the full
consciousness of the responsibility devolving
upon him as a long tried and trusted represen-
tative of his State, that Andrew Johnson is
indeed guilty of the charge there laid down
that the removal of member of his Cabinet
whose presence in his councils was not endur-
able, was high misdemeanor and an attempt
to overthrow the government
In any ordinary court of justice, when an
alleged criminal Is on trial, the jury are for
hidden to hold converse with any one upon the
case before them. When the trial is concluded
they are locked up until they find verdict or
are discharged yet in the case of the Presi-
dent we find the jury of the Senate most
indecorously expressing their opinions openly
as to the testimony and the probable result,
and even consulting with the prosecution in
the court room and the adjoining Hobbies.
Any intelligent juryman in one Of our courts
would have self-respect enough to keep his
own counsels while the trial was pending. If
such practices are permitted in the Senate
chamber what chance of justice or law is
there for President Johnson? How, therefore,
in view of these circumstances and the shallow
ness of the accusation, will Mr.. Fessenden
vote when the question Of guilty or not guilty
Is put to him

The Herald's Advertising Business-A Quad

The pressure upon our advertising columns
yesterday necessitated the issue of quad
ripple HERALD, or paper double the size of
our ordinary sheet. The purchaser of copy
of the HERALD yesterday morning, therefore,
obtained for four cents sixteen pages of matter,
comprising, in addition TO all the news of the
day from every part Of the world, over fifty
one closely printed columns Of advertisements,

occasions in this country that newspaper has
been compelled thus to double its capacity in
order to meet the demands of advertisers.
The London Times, which occupies in England
similar position to that filed by the HERALD
in the United States, is frequently driven to
such necessity; but there the principle of
advertising is better understood than IL has
heretofore been in this country, and the
business men as well as the general public Of
England have long since satisfied themsev es
that the best agents that can be employed in
any business transactions are the columns of a
