The Democrats in Congress- were, Of
course, highly indignant at the decision
in the contested election case of Van
Wyck verats Greene, and on the an
nouncement of the vote giving M. Van
Wyck. his seat, several members On
that side of the House expressed their
disgust 10 terms which the Speaker
promptly repEoyed, as they deserved.
Democratic newspapers re,echo, those
angry protests against Mr.. Greene's
removal, and threaten his re- election
on the frst opportunity. But the pro
tests einot arguments, and the elec-
tion Of Mr.. Greene on 3 future occasion
will not prove that be was legally elec-

the evidences Of fraud at tile electioniu
I 1868 are overwhelming Nearly one
thousand persons were illegally natu-
ralized in a single county Of the XIth
District during the two months prior
! to the election, and though the same
frauds were practiced on tiIe Same e4-
tensive scale throughout the District,
Mr. Greene was returned by majority
of only 393, Moreover; these sans
frauds were perpetrated throughout the
State, and affected not only the Con-
| gressional but the Guberhati0nal and
Presidential elections. y For days past

doubt, gave the State of New-York in
the Presidential contest TO Horatio Sey-
mour, and placed John T. Hoffman in
the Governors chair. If justice could
be dispensed in the Legislature as it has

The Sandusky Register in a lengthy
article condemns the course of Gov
ernor Hayes, in pardoAing so many
Of the Penitentiary conviets-forty-
seven, during the year ending Nov.
18th. 1869. Its exceptions are
well taken. If the good Of society
requires punishment to be inflicted
for crime, it equally requires that its
full measure be enforced, in Or
der that the law may become "a ter
ror to evil doers." The severity Of
the punishment provided, does not
deter the lawlessfrom the commission
of crime so much as the certainly
that the punishment provided will be
mated ont to the offender. There
are exceptions Of course, where new
testimony may. be discovered to nit
lgate the offence OF the prisoner.
But the verdicts of juries and the
decisions of Courts. after afull hear
ing of all the testimony which the
defense submits, should be regarded
as final, unless upon the best Of rea-
sons, among which one Of the most
powerful should be considerations Of
public good Society has claim to
consideration, as Bell as the interest
ofthe sriminal, and it should not be
lightly disregarded. Wepresume the
GovernoY exercised his clemeney
from the best of motives. But even
these may sometimes be carried too
far.

tire sincerity and spontsneouness.
Prince Arthur il about . feet in hight, has
very light and clear complexion, Fnddy with
apparently perfect health. His hair is light
b9oWn, worn smooth and straight, parted On
one side. The nose is lsEga and apquili1e,
and the middle part of the profile little 600
prominent for perfect symmetry. The lower
part of the face is little too light built for
muscular strength, and for keeping with the
nose. His character one would say, is more
sprightly, moral and tasteful, than strong,
passionate or selfish. In word, he is nice,
healthy, pleasant, elegant, ingenious appear

gets away from his present evidently jpdicious

character will prove sufficient barrier against

Two dinners by Minister Thornton and one
by the President, have 50 far been given in the
Princes honor. The Prince attended an Epis-

afternoon, took all the kind of exercise or

to act childishly, and because they
are complained offor burthening the

all kinds of frauds, would make the

probably hoping, thereby, to prevent

The Secretary ofthe Treasury has
directed the sale Of 100000 gold
per week, during February, and a
purchase of 100000 bonds, every
other week, for tn Sinking Fund.
We are glad to sec the Secretary per
sist in the determination to sell the
surplus gold in the Treasury, but
regret that the total proceeds Of sales
are not at one invested in bonds, so
as not to disturb the volume Of cur
rency. We have none too much in
circulation now, for the wants of the
country, and the course proposed
would be a virtual contraction st the
rate of over 100000 per month.
We trust the Secretary will not fur

DEAR JOURNAL:
A bill introduced By General Potts
70 increase the SALARY Of Supreme
Court Judges iron three to Eve
thousand deIlars, was put upon It's
passage in the Senate TO day.
The measure was warmly discus
sed.- such men az Root Odlin,
Dunbar, on the Republican side, and
Daugherty, of Fairfield, and other
able Democratic members argued
in favor of its passage
It was resisted by others, without
reference to party, on the ground,
that, although the present salary may
not be a full compensation, the
judges had got along with it through
times when gold was 2,6g and prices
higher than they are now. That
now by the approach Of specie pay
ment, and consequent cheaper living,
it would not be absolutely necessary
to increase their pay. The times
demanded retrenchment; there are
other bills to increase the pay of
other officers. and this bill would
open the door, and they would follow
through the Senate. Taxes are high
and by reason of the extravaganza Of
the last general assembly, must be
higher. Under these circumstances
it would be unjust to the taxpayer,
to burden him now, with more taxes
to pay additional saleries.
These reasons induced a majority
of the Senate to vote against the bill,
and it was indefinitely postponed, by
a vote of q, to II.
This is start in the right direc-
ton, and any measure which looks
to the imposition of further burdens,
on the tax payers of the State, excep-
ting such as are indispensable, will
have rough handling and stout
resistance, in the Senate.
There are few men, Of both parties
who seem to have no real sympathy
with the masses of the people, and
betray total ignorance ofthe strug-
giles they encounter, for a comfortable
subsistence. They would crush the
common people, that the state might
be grand, when in fact, the only true
grandeur ofa state, is a wealthy,free
and enlightened people.

SATURDAY, 99th.-When the sol
diers Home was established, at Day.
ton, the General Assembly passed ar
act allowing inmates, who were resi-.
dents Of Ohio, and others who reside
there one year, to vote. This Law
the Democrats Of the last assembly
repealed. To day that right was re
stored to them, so far as the action
oc the Senate could do il. A bill fol
t 'e purpose, after much discussion
was passed by vote Of 21 for it and
2 against it. The remarkable event
in the passage of this bill is the fact,
that the Democrats present, except
ing two, voted for it.
Here is complete change of
front by the Democratic party on
this subject. They tasted the bitter
fruits of their OVID illiberal, spiteful
policy, towards the soldier, in the
defeat Of last fall, and have, when
too late, found that meaness and spite
don't pay. Not that they hate the
soldier less-but that they love sue.
cess, more than they love rebel Dem.
ocracy.
Thus they show their love for sol.
diers; and by next October, you will
hear them expatiating on the exec
lence oftheir African fellow citizens
To day the Hon. Lew Campbell, Of
Butler Co. let cut some pure Demo
eracy. The Vice President of the
United States, and nearly all the Re.
publican members of Congress, had
transmitted a congratulatory address
to this General Assembly, through
the GeYerpor, for passing the 10Th
amendment, It was received YES
terday, with a message from our
executive R. B. Hayes. This morn
ing, Campbell moved that the jour
nal be corrected, so as to show that
this message and address should not
be recorded. In speech, support
ing this motion he declared, with
powerful emphasis, that he should
tell his constituents t9 disregard this
10th amendment, as aullttg, it being
unconstitutional in itself.
