Our announcement last week that
the lower House of the Legislature has
decided against building IN addition
al Penitentiary must now be with
drawn. The vote by which he meas
ure failed to pass was reconsidered and
has been reversed since our last wri-
ting.
There is a widespread conviction
that there is no pressing and imme-
diate necessity for a new Prison at this
time. The reformatory systemwhich it
is proposed to incorporate in the new
institution may be adopted in the old
one without additional outlay from the
-ssseasury, and may thus be put to a
practical test without the great expense
of establishing an entirely new and sep
arate institution. If this system would
be good for the prisoners who would be
confined in a new Penitentiary, it is
good for those now occupying the old
one. We are reliably informed that
the introduction of reformatory class
ification and treatment in the present
Penitentiary is entirely practicable,
and may be carried out without delay
and with no expense beyond the or
binary proceeds of prison labor. Let
this plan be tried first and we shall then
have from its practical results clear
understanding of the propriety of
erecting an additional reformatory
prison.

fall into the hands of United states
GeoIogist, A. r. ROessler, and we ''went
through the geological cabinet. There
is no appropriation devoted to the gath=

as a consequence the specimens are
mostly from companies interested in
having themselves represent here. at
least half of the specimens are from the
mining districts of the Pacific slope.
Ohio has most beggarly exhibit, of
few coal specimens and half a dozen
pieces of ffOSsiliferiOus limestone. When
it is considered that learned men of
other countries visit this cabinet to OBJ
tain knowledge of the country, you
may share my feeling of disappoint-
ment that our great State is no better
represented. Our vast mineral wealth
is only limited at in the specimens
shown here. Mr.. ROessler was much
interested in hearing that our Legisla-
ture had provided for survey of the
State, and he hopes to be remem bered
by the geologists in charge. Speci-
mems NAV be sent to him free of charge

private collectors will do something TO
assist in filling up the bare shelves of

\ REMARkABLE OPERATION.


Rev. Mr.. Milburn, the blind pr acher
who went to Europe for the purp lse OF
receiving surgical treatment for the res
toratiOn of his eye-sight, may vet re-
cover his vision, at least in part. The
operations to which he has submitted,
and is still to undergo, are extraordin-
ary in their character. On the 9th of
December last, Professor Grlefe, of
Berlin, cut hole in his left eye, insert
ed hook, and drew the iris from the
old pupil with which to line new one,
and then trimmed the edges with scis-
sors. This process occupied nearly five
minutes. The eye did remarkably we'll
for about twelve days, but for some I'M
explained cause interior Inflammation
then began, which soon threatened dis
organization and the entire loss of the
organ. A few days after, Mr.. MilbuTn
was suddenly seized by violent attack
of what the ply sicians pronounced to
be the Inflammation of the right lung,
which soon placed him in critical con
9itton. While this disease was nt its
helght, however, strange TO say, the
eye oegan TO improve. and its intiam-
ula'lon soon abated. After his recovery
Graefe examined the eve, and fund
G1at the crystalline lens is Opaque. To
remove this it will be necessary 10 ruu
the knife along the whole lower or nm
per margin of the eye, and to remove
the lens by pressure or the use of hooks,
This it VIII not be safe to do for several
but there is a definite prospect
that should the operation be successful,
at least partial recovery. of sight will
be the result. Mr.. Miburn will remain
in Europe until this is done aud in the
meantime will make lecturing tour in
England.

FITTING END TO 4 ROBBERY

james Brown, one of the robbers of
the Treasury of COshocton county, in
1858, was convicted last week. Brown
banker, conspired with KetChhm, the
Treasurer, to take she county money,
about $22, 900, and to give it the appesr-
ance of a robbery, Ketchum was left in
the Office bound and gagged. He was a
Democrat, and there was than DEM
oeratic Legislature in Ohio-a visitation
which comes once in ten years-Which
in most suspicious haste passed an act
to relieve the Treasurer. Upon this he
had the effronteryto sue the State Jour
nal for libel because it commented on
the suspicious circumstances aud re-
monstrated against this hasty action.
This suit was continued along for years
and finally allowed to die. The coun-
ty spent $40, 900 in trying to ferret out
the robbers. At length Ketchum quar-
relied with Brown because he kept the
lions share, and exposed the whole af-
fair. BrwOn is said to be worth $780,
600. He was sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary, and to pay a fine OF

LESSONS OF THE CONNECTICUT
ELECTION.

The New York Sun, under the above
head, gives the Democracy some hints,
which, however, they will probably not
have the good sense to act upon. After
stating that the Republicans had cleo
ted the State ticket, a majority of each
branch of the Legislature, and three of
the four members of Congress, the Sun
says:
The only issue of the canvass was the
ratification of the fifteenth amendment
to the Federal Constitution, which con-
fers suffrage upon all men throughout
the Union, irrespective of color, Cline,
creed or condition. The Legislature to
be chosen was to pass upon this amend
ment, and the Democracy kept up
hot fire upon it from the beginning to
the end of the campaign, while the
Republicans as warmly supported it.
The verdict rendered by Connecticut
on this issue is significant. That State
has always opposed negro suffrage, hav-
ing twice or thrice voted it down at the
polls by decisive maiorities, the last
time only three years ago. But her
sensible, practical people desire to see
the end of this long and bitter con-
troversy and therefore having recon-
sidered and reversed their oft-recorded
opinions. 1t seems to us that this re-
suit in a State which is naturally con-
servative, and was the last of the New
England States to break its connection
with the Democratic party, and the
first to renew it, should teach that
party the folly of longer resisting the
final settlement of this vexed qestion.
Doubtless a large number of those citi-
zens of tue land of steady habits who
have Just voted to adopt negro suffrage
have done so not because they like it,
but because they regard the matter as
having been practically disposed of by
it's adoption in the Southern States, and
look with something very like con-
tAU1ENf 17nOFa tho afFarf IN IgnavN nm tho
the North.
Another sentiment has also impelled
them to this course. They know that
further agitation on this theme diverts
the public mind from the considera-

SsLERERTY MAKES BROTHERS
OF US ALP


Duringa stay of few months abroad
in 1862, I visited Ireland and spent a
day in Dublin. / felt Especial interest
in that city, connected as it is with the
history of the many struggles of the
liberty-loving Irish for their political
freedom. Moreover, in the day when
O'COnnel1 and his compatriots plead
for tthe Repeal of the Union," I tried
my Yankee tohgtte in advocating the
claim of Ireland. Hence 1 felt the
greatest interest in anything connect
ed with the memory of ''the Great gil
tator," and at my earliest moment paid
a visit to the ground where he lies bur-
led. 1t was plain vault in a hillside
in the cemetery, although was told
by an old sexton that a beautiful mon
ument, then in course of erection in
another part of the yard, was for
O'Connell.
As stood in front of the iron door
which hid all that was mortal of 1.-The
Great COmTnoner,' - noticed q mound
close by with a cheap, plain slab at the
head of it, on which was this inserip-
tion: ''Sacred to the memory of
Thomas Steel who departed this life
-, aged years." I well remem-
Der Tom Steel (for we nickname those
whom we lOVe-as we say Tom Moore
and Bobbie Burns), and if my reading
was correct, he died a martyr for hber-
ty. remember still more that he was
Protestant. So, turned to the old
man who stood by as I read aloud the
brief record on the stone, and asked
with an assumed tone of surprises
''Was not Steel heretic?"
'sFaith, he wasp responded the man
with great emphasis.
"And, y said 1, sis not this consecra-
ted ground7"
'tIndade it is, )" he answered.
''And was not Daniel O'ConnelI a
| good and faithful son of Holy Mother
| Church ?'' continued.
"He was, he responded ''didn't he
have the blissing of the Pope him
9sNow,'' said I, 81 am heretic and a
! hereto priest; but judge you from
your own standpoint. Why do you let
| hereto lie in sacred ground ?'
| never knew the quick wit proverb-
| ial of the nation to fail in an answer,
but never heard a better answer than
that day from the lips of the old sex
| ton.
ssYou see,'' said he, ''Daniel O'Con-
nell was for liberty %
s'de was the Great Agttator,'' I re-
piled.
"And you know Tom Steel was for
| liberty -
"He was a martyr,'' said 1.
And then with look and tone be-
yond my description, he added:
8YoU KNOW Liberty MAKES BROTH

That is the grand keynote of true

echo the voice sounding from the GEM
etery in Dublin, whether it throbs un-
der fustian or satin, is the heart of a
traitor and tyrant. thought the
old sexton had sounded the watchwOrd
for our nation, and not ours only, but
all who love liberty.

The antediluYian concern known as

sensitiveness toward the Survey lest
it may result in showing up its own
true chronology and fossiliferous rela-
tions. The Farmer exhibits reck-
Iessness of truth not becoming its age
when it represents or rather misrepre-
sents that the law aut horizes an expense
for the survey of $50, 600, and that ''the
additional cost for engraving and print

amount to as much more" The entire
expenditure, authorized for the three
years work is only Sal, 200, whereas

survey, and though it was begun many
years ago, she still finds it profitable To
continue it. As to the "cost of printipo.
engraving and other subsquents,' ;, fo

A great calamity occurred at the
mines at Gold Hill, Nevada, on the 7th
inst, by some of the mines taking
fire. The shafts becoming choked
with smoke, ventilation was stopped
andIarge numbers ofthe miners are said
to have perished from suffocation. The
catastrophe is the most terrible that
has ever occurred in the mining count
ry on the Pacific coast.
