TIE New ScHcoL BsLL--Arprehcn
~ioas are beginning to be entertained that
thu Legislature Will adjourn vi.hou: pas

ported BY the committee If twenty-five, a
-yncpsis If which We gave in our last pa
per: has been slumbering in the Senate for
several days past, and, as the Legislature
has only few more days 10 work in. il is
feared that the I'LL VIII be lost OWcc-
siona0lc a. the ill may be il many re
spccts, Tie Senate viii incur grave re-
sponsibility BY allowing it to be defeated.
The position assumed y Mr.. Nicolai, Of
Baltimcye county, while the bill was on
It's passage in the House, We take to be the
true one. The bill he said, was objec-
tionable in many features, but knowing
the great anxiety Of the people Of the
State in reference to the establishment Of
a public school system. he would have to
waive his objections and vote for the bill.
as it was So late in the session that if the
b.ll now presented should not be a Rted,
he feared that the Legislature wound fail
to pass another.
Since the Above was in type, We have
noticed that the committee on education
in the Senate, Mr. Maddox, chairman,
has reported substitute for the House
bill, the leading features Of which are as
follows. 1t amends the House bin 50 as
to leave to the county boards the selection
Of the school books for their counties, and
therefore abolishcs the State Board and
the State Superintendent, and conflcs
the duties Of the latter 10 the principal Of

The attention of the Republicans Of Ohio is
most earnestly invited to this call in the
hope that it will receive their prompt atten-
ltion. - sFT # E--a . ~
The campaign of 1858, in the issues 1t in
wolves, is one of the mosl, ii not the most i'm
portant we have ever been called upon to
engage in. Many of the questions growing
out of the war are unsettled. Their proper
settlement depends entirely on The Republi-
can party, and our defeat In this campaign
will be the surrender of the Government into
the hands of the party which brought en- the
war. Shall the destructive policy of that
party again become the policy Of the nation?
We must judge our opponents not by their
present pr, lessons alone, but by their past
actions, lie IA influence which in 1851
precipitaiea Ii. 4.,iieilion, and for four years
gaged irea."i.G.e war, still rules lis coun-
ellis, and will shnl-e lis policy should 1t re-
turn to power. In illustration of this, we
have the action Of the majority in the pres
ent General Assembly, in resembling the rat
lifcation of the Constitutional Amendment
and the proposed instructions 10 our men,
bers of Congress to vote for the repeal OF the
Reconstruction acts.
We must have patience in the labor Of Re-
construction. 1t is not the work of a day.
The Vaccinations of a perhdiOus Executive,
aided by powerful and determined party,
largely composed of defeated rebels, have
served to delay the execution OF he wishes
of the loyal majority of the country. but can
not prevent if il we are as faithful 10 our
trust in the future as We have been in the
past. r--.
Eeverses may meet US in the execution OF
our policy now, AS they did during the war,
but they must not cause us 10 faIter In the
course marked out. Rather should they
nerve Us 10 renewed energy and more deter
mined effort.
The result of last falls election has been
most happily modified by the recent glorious
victory won by the gallant Republicans of
the Eighth District. Let their sprint animate
all the Districts. and the campaign of 1858
will be rs cheering in its results as those of
1858 and 1864.
Very truly, your friends 10 the cause,

"James P. Thomas, a barber, and
Miss Antoinette Rutger, both color
ed, were married at ST.. Vincent S
Church, st. Louis on Tuesday. The
bride has property and money to the
value of 100000. The husband is
also worth nearly the same amount.
He presented the wife with check
for so, 900, as wedding gift. The
bridal veil cost $3.50, and as she
wore ear rings costing $4,000"
The above is an internal outrage
upon the rights and privileges OF
the white race. How long will the
people bear such things? when will
they arise in their might and put
the nigger under footG Are we idly
to see a niger in his own right
worth s4O0, 900 and negress ditto ?
Shall they marry like white folks !
shall the check of the bridegroom
be honored to the amount of 10000
and shall the black bride be allowed
to wear expensive.veils and ear rings
worth $4,000? Such things are wor
thy of notice. White folks arise !.
Assert your rights while there is
yet time!

members of the General Assembly OF
Ohio, inviting and urging the people
to attend the State Convention,
March 4th. All persons attending
will be allowed seat in the Conven-
tion, although Hancock County is al
lowed but five votes. Why cannot
our county be well represented there?

COLUMBUS, o., FkB. Is, '6s.
Secretary Of State.

EDS. JEFF: While nominations
for the various State offices, to be
filed next Fall are in order, / would
call the attention of your readers to
the name of CENT r. Sherwood, OF
Bryan, Williams County, o., who is
a candidate for the position of Sec
retary of State. The history of the
General is similar to that of q great
many of our best soldiers. He en-
tered the service as private and
filled all the intermediate grades up
to Brevet Brig. General. Serving
well and honorably during the three
months service under Buell. in Ken
tucky, then under Rosecrans in Mid
die and Burnside in East Tennessee,
he wound up by accompanying Sher-
man in his march to Atlanta and Sa.
vannah. While the claims of estima-
BILE citizens are being advocated. no
ore has a better claim to the office
than Gen. S. Fully competent to
discharge the duties, affable, courte
ous and tip top stump speaker, it
is hoped he will receive the nomina-
ton he so justly deserves.

VIM. Mungen, while atllone che! last
time, insdyertensly let drop before a
the programme OF the
Democratic members of Congress in
relation to the question of finances.
He said that they had agreed to
keep comparatively quiet upon the
subject during the present session of
Congress, in order that the Republi-
can members would rest in qniet, but
as soon as it adjourned general
rumpus was 10 be kicked up" The
Democratic members Of Congress
were to take the stump. the news

unison with them. and . general on
slaught Was 20 he made, upon the
bonds, upon the National Banks, upon
taxation, &c Il was Tor IS to be,
charged that the Republicans had it
in their power-haying had ma
jority in Congress-to ereatlyrelicve
the people OF taxation, to tax the
bonds ana to do away With National
Banks but that they did nothing.
Oc coarse in this proGrsmme Dem
ocrats seemed TO think that the Re
publicans in Congress were asleep
and would not wake Up till it was to
late. Fortunately, 2epnbliean Con
gressmen have scotciiel at least d
part OF this programme, but wliethe,
they will 90 TIE whole length of pass
ing law--if such q thing can prop
parly be done-to tax bonds, pay 3
portion of them in grceubacks, etc,
etc, yet remains TO be seen.
Saying nothing as to whether it is
right or wrong, many-we had al
most said a majority of the Republi
cans in this section-are in favor ot
doing away with National Banks, tax
ing bonds, and issuing more green
backs. For our part, webelieve that
the national debt, as a whole, shonld
be paid off just exactly as it was con
tracted to be when created. Tht
natioHal honor demsnds it. Portions
of it may be erroneous and bear heav

HOUSE, 17rH INST.
The usual Monday batch of bills,
memorials and resolutions was pre-.
sented. Mr.. Bingham introduced a
bill for.the restoration of Alabama
After reciting that large majority
OF the votes given at the late election
were in favor of the Constitution
and that 1t was defeated by a com,
bination of citizens whose intent was
to prevent the restoration of the
State, the bill provides that the State
Legislature just elected shall be con.
vened as soon as practicable, and
upon the ratification by it of the
Fourteenth Article of the Constitu'
tion of the United States, proposed
by the Thirty ninth Congress. and
the establishment, by law, of impair
tial suffrage within the State, as au-
thorized by the Constitution of Ala
bama, the State shall be admitted to
representation in Congress, in &C
Ecordanco with the laws of the United
Safes. The bill was referred to the
Committee on Reconstruction. A
resolution offered by Mr.. Payne, of
Wisconsin, to pay some defeated
contestants for seats in Congress
$4,000 apiece was promptly voted
down. The Committee on Foreign
Affairs was authorized to report
back the bill on Citizenship's Rights
at any time. Mr. Myers, Of Pa

other attempt to get the Wooden
Screw patent extended. The House
went into Committee Of the Whole

off several Of the South American
missions was defeated. An appro-
priation for a mission to Rome was

consular agents and Woo eonsuls,
when exceeding $1,000, shall be
paid into the Treasury. The bill
was then reported to the House and
passed.
