Pillsbury and his associates without
ENa5i1nS tho laws delay.
A bill has passed the Senate for q
codification Of the laws of the State
LAND COMMISSIONERS.
Much Of the time of the House has
been consumed in tho discussion of a
bill for the appointment Of q Board OF
Land Commissioners, and the substi-
tutc therefor reported by tho commit
tee appointed in furtherancc of the
provisions Of an ordinance passed by
the late convention. It is generally
conceded that such board will be OF
advantage to the people of the State
if specially charged with the purchase
of cheap arabic lands and resale of
them in small farms. Tho only point
Of dispute was the manner Of appoint
ing these commissioners and the COM
pensation they should receive for their
services.
The original bill contemplated the
appointment of three commissioners,
one of whom was to attend all sales of
land in person, and under the direction
of the other two make purchases and
rcsalcs. lie was to receive rs COM
pcnsation for his services fec Of ten
dollars for every title which he issued,
while the other two commissioners
received per diem Of six dollars
whilst the board was in session. The
substitute differed from the original
bill only in the compensation Of the
travelling commissioners, which was
fixed ut $500. No conclusion was
reached. 1t is understood that
DcLargc is the aspiring candidate for
tho position Of chief commissioner.

only was the Church crowded to utmost
capacity, but even tho Church yard and era
in front were thrsngsd with sorrowfui
friends and fello W Citizens all anxious to
show their deep appreciation OF the depart
cd patriot-Caroliua's true, incorrxpt,b'e.
faithful son. The m ale citizens, with the
teachers and pupils Of the several schools,
formed in procession, and received, uncov-
cred, the funeral eortrge upon the public:
square. Moving from thence to Trinity
Church, the procession Was met by Rev. F..
T. WALKER, officiating clergyman, and as
he read the Introductory sentence Of the
sublime burial service of the Episcopal
Cburcll, the grand, solemn strains OF BEET
IIovEN's Funeral March, iSulla naorte dun
Eroe, resounded through the sacred edifice
mingling its mosns with the bitter plant
Of human woe.

TEXT AND APPLICATION.

The North American Review gives
us the following dialogue between a
clergyman and female parishioner.
" Parishioner. amazes me that
ministers don't write better sermons.
I'm sick of their dull, prosy affairs.
"Minister. But it is no easy mat
ter, my good woman, to write good
sermons.
Paris hioner but then you
are so long about it. I could write one
myself, in half the time, if l only had
the text.
Minister oh if text is what
you want, l will furnish that. Take
this one, from Solomon " It is better

AT 155 BROAD STREET, BY
j. MADISON DRAKE.

CONFIDENCE IN ONES SELF When a
crisis befalls you, and the emergency
requires moral courage and noble man
hood to meet it, be equal to the re-
quirement of the moment and rise su-
perior to the obstacles in your path.
The universal testimony of men, whose
experience exactly comedies with yours
furnishes the consoling reflection that
difficulties may be ended by opposition.
There is no blessing equal to the pos
session of q stout heart The magni-
tnde of danger needs nothing more
than greater effort than ever at your
hands. If you are recreant in the hour
of trial, you are the worst of recreants
and deserve no compassion. Be not
dismayed or unnamed, when you
should be bold, daring, unfiinching and
resolute. The cloud whose threaten
ing murmurs you hear with fear aud
dread, is pregnant with blessings, and
the frown whose sternness now makes
you shudder and tremble will ere long
be succeeded by smile of bewitching
sweetness and benis nifty. Then be
strong and manly oppose equal forces
to open difficulties keep stiff upper
lip, and trust in Providence Great
ness can only be achieved by those
who are tried The condition of that
achievement is confidence in ones self.

Recent Deaths OF Three Dis
tInguished Democrats.

Within tho past two weeks, tho
Democracy Of Ohio have lost by
death three distinguished men whose
absence from the conventions and
consultations Of the party, will be
noticed. The first of these was that
pure minded and patriotic man,
Thomas ". Koy, Of Cincinnati, who,
within recent years, has twice stood
on the State ticket as tho Demo
cratic candidate for Supreme Judge.
| Col. Key was volunteer aid on tho
staff of Gen. Mcclellan, and was tho
tried and confidential friend Of that
distinguished officer from the first
TO the last day Of his service. Fol-
lowing the death of Judge Key,
was tha; Of Senator Stambaugh, of
Tuscarawas, who has been suddenly
snatched away whilst brighter hon~
ora yet awaited him. Mr.. S.ambaugh,
like Col. Key, was a Wing during
the life of that party, but for ten or
twelve years past, has been in cor
dial union with the Democracy, and
IN the campaign of 1860 Was their
candidate tor attorney General of
Ohio. The last of the three emil
nent mon whose death we are thus
called upon TO chronicle, 10 Hoa.
Edison b. OIds, former Representa-
two In Congress- efrom this district.
During tho past thirty years, fe'v
mon OF any party in OHIO have been
more prominently before tho public,
He was a gentleman Of strong men
tai power and untiIing application.
His qualities were all Of positive
character, and whether as mem-
ber o. n church session, a village
council. or the legislative halls o.
the State or nation, his presence
was sure 10 be fit. IIis most wicked

"EEard Tlmes.'' and "Lev Us

In looking over our exchanges
for some time past we have have
noticed the universal complaint OF
"hard times"
Why is thisp Every one seems,
with few exceptions here and there,
TO feel that tho times are hard.
Money is scarce and difficult 70 pro-
cure. That many men who are able
and willing to work are out Of ems
ployment. That capital is dorment
and labor unemployed.
The cry of political demagoguee
during the last campaign was "Let
us have peace. We would ask
what is this "poace" to which we
wefe invited Tho laboror, the far
mer, the mechanic, tho business and
professional men, all alike feel that
We have fell upon "hard times" and
that there Is no prospect, with the
party now in power, TO make them
better.
A largo public debt, constantly
increasing, through extravaganza
corruption, thievlng and peculation
makes every one, in all occupations
and business, except that of bond

favorites, TO feel and know th,
