TIE RETRInUTIoN.

An exchange thus truthfully details the
retrb0tion that has overtaken the leading
spirits in the murder of that innocent wo-
man, Mrs. Surratt. Read it and hand to
your Republican neighbor to read also,
and to ponder over:
How wonderful, how feslful has been
the retrbution Of Heaven upon those en-
gagged IN the murder of that poor widow
Surratt Had every one Of them been
arrested, condemned and put to death by
the agency Of human law, the effect would
have been much less impressive. Preston
King, then q Senator Of the United States,
when the daughter Of Mrs. Surratt at
tempted TO appeal to the President in be-
half Of her condemned mother, rudely
thrust the wretched girl aside and would
not let her pass into the executive cham
Der, and she vas driven back into the
street shrieking in despair

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.

a message was received from the Gov
ernor, transmitting a communication from
Vice President Colfax and the Republican
members of the q. S. Senate and House of
Representatives, rendering their congratu-
lations on the adoption Of the resolution
ratifying the Fifteenth Amendment by the
Ohio Legislature.
Mr.. Campbell said that when the reso-
luton had been adopted he hoped the
question was at rest, but it now appeared
that this document proposed to open up
again the bitter controversy which has
passed, and excite again the partisan ac-
rimony which he had hoped would be al
lowed to slumber He regretted that the
Governor had seen proper to send this
document to the Legislature. He did not
think that the men who had signed it had
any right to intrnde it upon the General
Assembly. He believed that the resolu-
ton had been adopted, not only in oppo-
sition to, but in contempt of, the will of
the people. In his opinion the resolution
had been adopted in both branches of the
Legi stature by the vote of members who
| had no right to vote upon the question
He regarded the thrusting of this commu-
nication upon the General Assembly, at
| this time, as nothing less than an insult
| 70 IlOSe WAO iaO FotSH aBA4LlSI Inc TcsO-
/ luton,
Mr.. Root moved to lay the whole sub
/ ject on the table.
Mr.. Campbell moved that the message
and communication be not entered on ths
journal.
The motion was not agreed to.
Mr.. Woodward moved they be spread
at length upon the journal.
The motion was agreed to.
In the House, after various motions on
the message, this balderdash about the
colored amendment was laid on the table
The following bills passed the House.
| To provide that deeds given by the
State of Ohio shall be prima faeik eYi
dence IN courts Of justice.
To authorize township trustees to con
tract for the repair of roads, road cross
ings or bridges, and to levy special tai
] for road and bridge purposes.
