PARTY DISCUSSION.

We ore Ogain approaching ono OF
those oflen.rocurriug periods in which
tho interests Of the State demand q close
scrutiny into tho respective merits OF
parties and their candidates. There IS
one iaot upon which politicians seem

most charming unanimity in ascrIbing
intelligence 10 the people, whose we'll

no doubt are honest in these express
ions Of admiration, and their appeals 10
the good sense Of the people are suiil :
cient evidence Of tho sincerity of any
compliments they may choose 10 add,

and render an intelligent decision upon
questions Of public policy utterly i'm

The object Of political discussion
should BE- to awaken inquiry, and lurn'
ish ii with guide to the acquisition o.
truth. The people have the honesty to
form conscientious opinions, if they are
not mised by those who have secured
their confidence. The difficulty is, Ihii
confidence is too often misplaced. Pc.
li.ical leaders, when once entirely trust.

it is their province only TO enlighIen and

going on in public opinion all over the county,

of those who stand implic atsd in the rebellion.
We have seen that the Government has granted
them general amnesty and, following It's e1'

than our own, have greatly relaxed tho rigor
Of their test oaths and materially enlarged the

Sugar Prospects In Louisiana.

Steady and quiet is the advance of
small farmers into the cultivation OF cane.
In avery few years the country between
the Amite and Mississippi Rivers will
produce an aggregate of thousands of
hogsheads, all the result Of the enter
prise and industry Of the farmers on
small tracts of land Scattered around
at intervals, at the present time, are pla-
ces with twenty, thirty and forty acres OF
cane planted. These, will yield an av-
erage of from twenty TO sixty hogsheads
of sugar next fall, and bring great profit
to the cultivators. The true policy of
every farmer, on high lands or low lands,
is to ''get in" some portion of his land
in sugar caneH If not grown to be man
ufactured into sugar and molasses, the
product always bears high prices, and
the cane is fine food for stock. In an
other year there should not be one open
cultivablc place in East Louisiana upon
which more or less quantity of cane Is
not growing.-Baton Rouge, (La,) Ad

gCol. John c. Paxton, of this city,
as we are exceedingly pleased to know,
has Justice done him, at last-is restored
to his rank of Colonel, and is honorably
discharged from the army, from which he
was so summarily dismissed, in April,
1864, by Gen. Scammon, then in COM
mand in the Kanawha Valley. In the
special dispatches to the Cincinnati Com
mercial we find the following:
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Presi-
dent, to-day, after careful investigation,
ordered a revocation of the order i'll the
case of Col. John c. Paxton, of Mari.
eta, Ohio, which order had done SO
much injustice to gallant commander.
Nothing can be more gratifying than
this to the Colonel's friends, and but few
persons have as many friends; and his
old 'sboys" of the I'd Virginia cavalry
will now all throw their hats high-as
high as they did when Scammon was
captured by the rebels, and never got a
chance to return to the Kanawha Ma
rietta ReUtster.

COLUMBUS, April |, 1869.

COLUMBUS, April L, 1869.
1t has been some time since / have
written to you, but hope to be excused,
for the reason that nothing of general
interest has transpired here for a few
weeks.
Some few days ago Mr.. Lawrence in
troduced in the Senate Jill to repeal
the law creating the township of Lee, in
Monroe County. Yesterday a vote was
taken in the Senate and failed. Mr..
Lawrence has only done his duty in this
regard, and now it is conceded that the
matter is at rest.
The resolution of Mr. Ball, to build q
Reformatory Prison IS now being deba-
ted in the House, and there are many
lobbies here on the subject. 1t is very
doubtful as to the passage Of the resolu-
ton.
No time fixed for final adjournment
as vet. There are on our calendar fol
to-day, and for third reading, 65 bills,
and ,hree set for special order; any OF
the three will consume one entire day.
The 18th amendment to the Constitu
ton is made special order for to-day
We will vote the wind out of it this ses
sion and leave the fight open for the
election of Senators and Representative
next fall. You know the RAIDS always
claimed they were opposed to negro
suffrage, but there is not a man of then
here but will vote to fasten this abomi
nable amendment upon the people o.
the State, when they know it was votct
down by fifty thousand majority Of theil
own party. dEADLEY.

The following proceedings were had
in the Ohio Senate on the 3lst ult., rela-
ting to the repeal of the bill creating
Lee Township:
Mr.. Lawrence, the select committee to
whom had been referred s. B. 3O7-To
repeal the act passed this session crea-
ting the township Of Lee, in Monroe
county, reported the same back, and re.
commended its passage.
The bill was then read the third time,
and pending the question Of its passage,
the Senate took recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The President called the Senate to or
der at three o'clock
The question pending when the Sen
ate took a recess, being on the passage
of S. B. 4O7, to repeal the act passed at
this session creating the township OF
Lee in Monroe county.
Mr.. Golden addressed the Senate in
opposition to the bill.
AIr. Lawrence presented reasons
why the bill should be passed.
Mr.. Godfrey stated all objection TO
the creation of the new township OF Lee,
that it did not contain the statutory re-
uuirement of territory-22 square mics,
and made the three townships from
which it was taken of less dimensions.
Mr.. May objected to the act sought
to be repealed, because of its local char
acter, and because OF the haste with
which it was passed by the Senate.
Mr.. Carter thought the creation OF
new townships should be left where the
general law of the State leaves it, with
the county commissioners. -.
The vote on the passage of the bill
WAS as follows:
Yeas-Messrs. Berry, Brooks, Camp
bell, Dowdney, Emmitt, Godfrey, Girls
void, Hutcheson, Kenny, King, Law
renee, Linn, May, Rex, Scribner, Sted-
man, Yeoman-17.
Nays-Messrs. Biggs, Burrows, Dang
ler, Everett, Golden, Kessler, Linn, Tor
renee, oodworth-9.
! So the bill failed to pass, not having
received a constitutional majority in its
favor.
Mr. Lawrence moved reconsideration
of the vote The motion was laid OF
the table.
