LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY.

The present Legislature are undoing
much that has been done By their pre-
decessors, demolis hing many enactments
of deabtfnl propriety, which have found
their place on our statue books The
"dog law" that proli6 theme for debate
which has been the subject of so many
speeches and amendatory bills, and the
mysti6cations of which have puzzled the
brain of so many law makers, has at last
gone by the board, both branches of the
Legislature having passed bills repeating
all laws on the subject A bill has also
been passed and published repeating all
laws granting State bounty for killing
wolves, wild cats AMI lynxes.
a bill has passed she Assembly repeal
ing the dance house law of last winter,
and:a bill to repeal chapter los of the
general laws Of 1867, EMIT led Gan act to
disqualify liquor dealers from holding
the Office of justice of the peace, and for
bidding the holding Of courts Of justice
in houses where liquor is sold. - Il
These two bills were those which have
occasioned SO much complaint on the
part of the Democrats during the past
year, but the vote by which they were
repealed in the Assembly showed that the
Republicans were in no way committed
to their support. =
a resolution in regard to correcting the
records of the War Department by ex-
spunging the names of persons enormously
enrolled as deserters, called forth consid
cradle opposition from the Democrats in
the Assembly, but on its 7Rnal passage
they all wheeled around and voted for it
fearing probably to place themselves on
the record against the resolutions.
4 resolution has passed both branches
Of the legislature, declaring it to be the
duty of the general government to pro
tcct American citizens in the enjoyment
of all their rights as such while sojourn.

Immigration from the Canadian
Dominion to the United States has been
SO large within the past few months that
the Canadian authorities manifest signs
OF alarm. In the Legislature Assembly
at Quebec, on Thursday last, notice of
motion was given that the Committee on
Emigration be instructed "to inquire into
the primary cause of the emigration of
citizens from the Province of Quebec to
the United States, and that necessary
means be taken to prevent the same"

ing the power they have unfortunately
obtained in the Ohio Legislature:
The Copperhead Legislature of Ohio
has gone into the clark lantern bust
ness in a lively manner. Two schemes
which they intended to force through in
the dark, have come to light just in time
to be defeated. The part was to throw
The Republican city government of Cleve-
land into the hands of the Democracy by
the anti-redistricting bill, which was con
cocted in secret, passed through the SEN
ate by some hecus-pocus proceeding, and
the record of such passage carefully sup
pressed. That brilliant Democratic soap
bubble was punctured by the passage of
an ordinance to defeat it by the Cleve-
land City Council. The other scheme
was the passage of a law to deprive the
students of Wesleyan University, at Della
ware, Of their right to vote at the Con
gressional election next Mondav. The
bill was to be rushed through both
Il ouses under false title, with the hope
thatits real character would not be de-
feated. That little game also was spoiled.
The fact of such a bill being secretly
printed leaked out, and the Republican
members, believing in the principle of
fighting the devil with fire, played sharp
by staying away from the Capitol, The
Democrats, not being prepared for this,
were not all on hand, there was there
fore no quorum, and the scheme failed.

JOHN LITTLEJOHN.
BY CHARLES MAcKAY,


John Littlejohn was staunch and strong,
Upright and notwithstanding Wrong;
He gave good weight and paid his way,
He thought for himself and he said his say,
W henever q rascal strove TO pass
Instead of silver, money of brass,
He took his hammer, and said with q frown
'"THE COIN Is sPURIoUs-NAIL IT DOWN"
John Littlejohn was firm and true:
You could not cheat him in 1.-TWO and two. :"
When foolish arguers might and main,
Darkened and twisted the clear and plain,
He saw thro' the maZes of their speech
The simple thought beyond their reach
And. crushing their logic, said with frown,
''THR COIN Is sPURIoUs-NAIL TrDowN.'
John Littlejohn maintained the right,
Thro' storm and shine, in the worlds des-
pite,
When fools or quacks desired his vote,
'Dorsed with arguments learned by rote,
Or, by coaxing, threats or promise tried
To gain his support to the wrongful side.
'cNav, nay," said John, with an angry
frown,
1.-THE ooIN Is sPURIOUs-SAIL IT DOWN.
When told that events might justify
A false and crooked policy,
That a decent hope of future good
Might excuse departure from rectitude,
And lie, if wkite, was a small offense,
To be forgiven by men of sense;
''Nay, nay" said John, with sigh and a
Frown,
''THE COIN Is sPURIoUs-NAL IT DOWN"
Whenever the world our eyes would blind
With false pretense of such a kind -
With Humbug, Cant and Bigotry-
Of q spurious sham philosophy o.
With Wrong dressed up in guise of right,
And Darkness passing itself for Light,
Let US initiate John, and exclaim with a
frown,
''THE COIN IS sPURIoUs-NAL IT DOWN"

Adolphus Rogers, of Northwest town
ship, Williams county, was arrested
last winter for keeping an illicits dis
tillery. He agreed to report at Tole-
do before the United States Commiss-
ioner on the Saturday following his
arrest, but instead of so reporting he
went to Canada, where he remained
until after the session of the United
States District Court at CleavlaAd.-
Upon his return he was arrested by
United States Deputy Marshal Fisher
and taken to Cleveland for trial, a:
the June term. Last week. he receiv-
ed his sentence. He was fined $4OO
and costs, which will amount to about
5000 more, and sentenced to four

watched the process of marking barrel heads
in Touring mill in WinCna, Mimi, stole
in one day, and, taking possession of the
stencils, ornamented her blanket with the
words, '.Ellsworth'iChoice," and paraded
the streets,ip great delight but to the disgust
of Mr. Ellsworth, who is a bachelor, and
lias made no such choice.

Constitutional and Sound.

The enunciation by Senator Davis,
the other day, of his views on the sub
ject OF the Constitutionality OF the
strange doings about these times, de-
serves the attention OF every white
man in this Union. He claims that
the man who receives, at ths coming
election, the greatest number OF white
votes in the United States, is the mPn
who will be Constitutionaliy elected
President de j1tre, and that white men
will see to it that it be made de .facso.
Thus is embodied, in few words,
the gist of many arguments which
have been put forth and elaborated,
in various ways, by the Democratic
press, for months past. Senator Da-
Wis does not, any more than we do,
believe in Radical accomplished
facts; or that because a Radical Con-
gress, holding by base trickery and
unblu shing frauds two thirds of Con-
gress, only for time, have a right to
establish & perpetuata unconstitution
nal measures, tending to destroy the
last vestige of free government.
The brazen effrontery- of such polite
clans as Stevens, Butler and Sumner,
backed by such writers as the unscrup-
ulous Greeley and Forney, may cause
them ts think the people are cravens,
and that they can easily be brow bea-
ten and borne down by big words
and two-thirds majority. These
gentry will learn something in the
schoofof experience within the next
year or two. The army canpot even
with thousand General Grants be
put in aAtagOnism with the white
opeple' of the United States. The
whites must and will rule thes coun-
try, and Radicals and negroes had bet
ter understand it so. The sooner they
do the better for ali, of both IA cs. Il
