Ohio Legislature.

The bill for the relief Of Rober
Stewart, late Treasurer of this coun
ty, passed the House Of Represent
atives on the 18th inst. In tn,
Morning Journal Of the 18th, WI
find in the Legislative proceedings
the following:
Mr.. Kerr, of Fayette-H. B. 1853
For the relief of Robert Stewart
late Treasurer of Fayette county
Ohio, was read the third time.
Mr. Kerr, of Fayette, explained
the circumstances of the robbery
of the Treasury of Fayette county,
and stated that Mr.. Stewart had
paid the amount that had been alb
stracted from his safe, being about
$4,000. The integrity of Mr.. Stew
art had never been questioned, ant
a very large number Of the citizens
of FaYetto county had petitione(
that this money mightbe refunded
by the Commissioners, to Mr.
Stewart. These petitions wert
gotten up by all classes Of citizens
without ref renee to politics. I'm
der the circumstances, he trustee
the bill would pass.
Mr.. Hughes, of Highland, was
satisfied the claim was just, and
hoped the bill would pass.
The yeas and nays were called
and resulted--yeas 81, nays II. So
the bill passed.
The bill authorizes tho Commits.
sioners of Fayette county to levy n
tax to refund about $4,000 to Mr.
Stewart, which was stolen from the
treasury safe during the term Of
his office as Treasurer Of Fayette
county.
The bill, we presume, will pass
the Senate. The Commissioners, it
will be noticed, are authorized, not
required, to make the assessment !;
consequently, the responsibility of
making the assessment will fall
upon them, if the bill becomes q
law.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT We are in
debted to w. C. Gould, I'd Assist
ant Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, for copy of the Report
of the Joint Select Committee Of
the Legislature on the subject Of
erecting an additional Penitentiary
in this State. Several towns and
cities have made liberal offers foI
the location of this proposed insti-
tuition in their respective localities.
There is no doubt but each of
these places stands in need of a
Penitentiary in their midst-and
they ought each to have one for
their own use.

STAMPING CIGARS, The Interna
Revenue law Of July 20, 1868, pro
vides that on and after the first da,
of April, 1863, all cigars shall be
packed in BOXES NOT BEFORE USED
containing, respectively, 25, so, 100
21O and 500, and shall be deemed
and taken to have been manulac.
tured or imported since July goth,
1868, and shall be re stamped with
tax paid stamps. Every manurac-
turer ofcigars shall burn into the
box, with a metal brand, his name
number of cigars, number of his
lnanulactory, district and State, and
shall paste thereon printed notice
forbidding the use Of that box or
package again under q penalty of
800, and Imprisonment, and shall
atllN the stamp denoting that the
tax has been paid
Any person who shall sell, or Of
fer for sale, any cigars in any other
form than in boxes, or who shall
pack in any box any cigars in ex-
cess Of the number provided by
law to be put in each box shall, up.
on conviction, be fined for each of.
fense not less than $1,000, and be
imprisoned not less than six months
nor more than two years The fact
that the cigars in the hands of deal
ers have on the boxes the red
stamps, or any of the old stamps,
denoting that the tax has been paid,
will not answer--tho box must have
on it the new black tax paid stamp.
