TThe Dispatch, in speaking OF
Mr. ONpERpoNK's bill to prevent
Justices of the Peace and Mayors
from being appointed Deputy Sher-
ifs, says;
The wisdom of such Il law is dem
onstrated in the selection of the
packed jury that turned loose a mur-
derer last week.
The idea that law which simply
provides that Justices of the Peace
shall not act as Deputy Sherifrs, has
any thing to do with packed juries,
could have originated no where else
than in the brain of bitter, unscru-
pulous partisan. 1t was no more
revalent to the subject of which he
was speaking, than it would be to
say that Mr.. ONDERDoNK's law was
the offspring of sound political wis
dom, instead, as. it was, the result of
mere partisan spite. Why, we have
known democratic Sheriffs to pack
juries, and they were not Justices
of the Peace, nor never had been.
And they will do it again, if the peO-
pie are so foolish as to elect them,
and Mr.. ONDERDoNK's law won't
way a feather against it. "Bah,
and fddlesticksl as Gen. Butler
said to Mr.. Farnesworth, in the
House of Representatives, a few
DAYS since.

b% The special elections IN 1ndi-
ana, authorized to take place for the
purpose of filing the vacancies in
the State Legislature, occasioned by
the resignation of the democrats, to
prevent vote on the Fifteenth Con-
stitutional Amendment, occurred last
week. The result is the return of
all the members who had resigned
The Republicans put no candidates
in nomination, except in a very few
counties, thus permitting the demo-
Gratis to have it all their own way
The vote was light.

81 We have hopes of the Demo
cratic party in Ohio. The Statesman
has come out as a rabid temperance
organ, and the Ohio Legislature stands
shivering on the brink fearing to
launch away in opposition to the Suff-
rage Amendment. Who knows? Be-
fore another winter the great Apostle of
Temperance, Sam. Cary, may be Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, and
kissing negro babies may be part of
the daily duty of Democratic candi-
dates. s.-.Sta te Journal.

The Methodist Book establishment,
in Cincinnati, came near being de-
stroyed by fire last week. The fire
caught in the engine room, and for
awhile the whole building seemed to
be in imminent danger, as the flames
spit forth rapidly from the second
story windows of the engine-room
on Eighth street. The Concern had
removed large quantity of matter
from the room, and but seven OF
eight presses remained.
The speedy arrival of the Fire
Department, and the rapidity with
which they turned on the water, was
the only thing that prevented g
most dangerous confagration. The
damage both by fire and water will
not amount to less than 81 800.

sg The report of the committee
of the Ohio Legislature, on the new
Penitentiary, pronounces in favor of
the establishment of a new State
Prison, but leaves the question OF
location to the Legislature. This
will probably, SO far as the location
is concerned, bring the matter to a
deadlock for this session.
