Bond Taxation.

The bill taxing United States bonds
has passed both branches Of the State
Legislature, the Senate having reced-
ed from its amendment to strike out
State bonds. The bill is now a law
so far IS Legislative action can make
it so. There is a triling difficulty in
the way. in the shape of United States
law, and the Supreme Court of the
State will assuredly have business pro-
vided for it whenever an assessor sets
about listing these securities for taxa
ton. But the Democratic Legislature
isn't troubled about such trifies as
constitutions or Supreme Court decis.
ions whenever a bit of party chican-
cry is to be put through.-CHreland

We regard this as n of the best
measures of the last session. The
question of equal taxation "a only be
disputed by dishonest men who de-
sire exclusive privileges. The ex-
emption of two thousand FIVE hundred
millions of United States bonds has

Still, Horace Greeley and his kith,

proposes to make no distinction on
account of race or color! If the ff-
teenth amendment should be adopted
by the States, under The c~oercive in

and his advisers, there is great dan

Increase of the Public Debt.

Secretary Boutwell, is being urged
daily to take some action in the mat
ter of providing a sinking fund, as
provided by the act of Congress of
1862. Nothing will be done, howev-
er, for some weeks, as he will have as
much as he can do until the close of
the fiscal year to get the department
and custow-houses in COED working
order. His official figures, however,
are still against any steps toward a
sinking fund. They show that from
November 1, 1868, the debt was in
creased twenty-five millions, and that
from November 1, 1867, to May ],
1869, the debt has been increased in
eighteen months, th;rty-seven millions
and a half of dollars.-Tslegraphic.
This is the sort of retrenchment
that characterizes the new admisistra-
ton. How much will General Grant
and the venal creatures who surround
him reduce the public expenditures ?
He set out to cleanse the Government
from extortion, by making an indis-
criminate removal of every one who
held office under his predecessor.
Never in the history of the Govern
ment has there been such prescription.
1t has been uniformly confined to his
own party; and the blow has fallen
upon those who voted to scourge the
country by placing him in office
These removals looked as if he really
meant to cut down expenses. But

An Execution in Pittsburgh.

Lane, the wife poisoner, was exc
cuted on Thursday, April %. Re
porters of the press visited him before
his execution, but he was more than
usually reticent. He however declar-
ed himself ready to meet his fate.
When asked if he had any parting
word to say to the people, through
the press, he quickly replied: 81 have
none. 1 have said enough about my
case already, for Pm to hang for it,
and that's ALL" The criminal has
been married six times, five of his
wives having died under suspicious
circumstances.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of Thursday

dence of being concerned on account
of any of his relatives. The only re-
lation, il fact, to whom he alluded at

to come up and see him before his ex-
ecution. Sheriff Cluley yesterday

to contain a photograph of the son,

Extraordinary Case of Memory.

The Buffalo Courier recalls an &C.
currence in the New York Legislature
about eighteen years ago, when the
present Secretary of State was the
wing candidate for the United States
Senate in place of Daniel S. Dickin-
son. The vote i'll the Senate was a
tie, but the unexplained absence of a
Democratic member gave the Wings
a majority, and Mr.. Fish was elected.
Strange as it may appear, a gentleman
strongly resembling this absentee
Democrat of eighteen years ago turn
ed up in Washington recently, and,
spurning all red tape circumlocution,
had a private audience with the Sec
rotary of State-the same MI. Fish
and soon after reappeared upon
Pennsylvania avenue with the COM
mission for a fat consular g~eneralship
in his breast pocket. This is a re-
markable case of memory in a politi-
clan, whose rewards as q class are
generally actuated by a lively sense of
favors to come, not past, especially
after so long an interval as eighteen
years.

The Associated pre- agent says
that Lane was formerly a slave in
Virginia. He served a term of six
yeals in the Pe~nitentiary for attempt

wife. He some months since embrac.

attended at his execution by the
priests Of that church. He steadily

The Long Island Railroad disaster,
by which six persons were killed and
fourteen badly MANNED, has evoked
another outburst of public indignation
over the culpable negligence that al
lowed a broken rail to remain on the
track, or the culpable parsimony that
laid rails made of worthless iron. The
New York papers are full of testimo-
ny, editorial comments, and communi-
cations on the subject, ringing the
changes IN railroad tragedies" rail-
road slaughters," and terminal in
difference to public safety" This kind
of thing is done semi annually, at
least, and what has ever come of it ?

Ohio Legislature.

This body adjourned sine de, on
Friday last, after n lengthy and Ia
borious session. Nearly fifteen hund.
red bills had been introduced during
the two sessions, a large majority Of
which, became laws. Many excellent
measures passed both houses, and are
now on the statute book. As is the
case, in almost every Legislative body
N the country, many measures OF
doubtful necessity, and purely e1per
mental in their character, have as.
sumed the form oflaw. Time and ex.
perience will doubtless remove all the
imperfections found in them.
One of the measures, most impor-
tant in its effects upon the interest OF
the laboring masses of Ohio, is the
Municipal corporation BILL" For a
long series of years our corporation
acts have been in great confusion, and
have been scattered through thou
sands of pages of our statutes, 80 that,
it was a task of great labor and diff
Guilty to ascertain precisely what laws
were in force, and what repealed.
This gave rise to much litigation and
bitterness /; and in judicial investiga-
tions, made the result extremely .un-
certain. The new code contains ev-
cry thing deemed worthy of preserva-
ton, and simpliies the forms Of prac-
tice, hereafter to be used.
The criminal code BILL" is also of
great Importance. This bill, though
not so lengthy as the former, will
make quite a volume. The best le-
gal talent of the Senate has been de-
voted to the perfection of the "new
criminal code" This bill makes no
changes in the laws defining crimes
offences, nor does it make it
sary to use forms of indictment differ
ant from those now in use, but re-
from some technicalities now
required. 1t relates wholly to crimi-
nal procedure, and not to the defining
of crimes. About two-thirds of it, is
re-enactment of laws now in force /;
but arranges the subjects in more sys-
order on the statute book.

August next.
