NOT pI'CII AEGED-JUDGE BARNAKD'S ORDER
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1871-06-03
From 8prinEdeld,

The called session of the legislature has
thus far made but little Roadway in disposing
Of the IS subjects upon which the Governor
demands their action. Having adjourned in
April without completing their work, they
look upon it a. a sort of reprinand to be
called together to repair former neglect of
duty, and feel surley. The Governor also
madea mistake in asking them to legislate
on the capital question, without giving an
equal chance to its rival measure, the river
improvement. A compromise between the
two might have been effected had they been
placed on an equal footing but the attempt
to force through this and take . snap
judgment on the othes will be found danger
Gus experiment.
The capital men had address enough,
however, to get their bill first before the
house, and under the rules it thus gains pre-
eedence of all other business. The bill, Is in.
troduced proposes simple appropriation Of
100000 to carry on the work on the state
house; and to this bill Mr.. Turner has offer.
ed an amendment that the bill, when thus
passed, shall be submitted to vote of the
people before it can 60 into effect The house
has fixed next Tuesday, on which a final vote
is to be taken on the question.
The most sensible and business.lke propo.
sltion we have yet seen in regard to the peni-
Tertiary is the resolution of Mr.. Washburn to
invite bids for leasing the penitentiary for
term of not less than three nor more that eight
year.
Bills covering all the rest of the Is subjects
named by the governor to be legislated upon
have been introduced in both houses, read
first and second time, and referred to COM
mlttees. 1t is manifest however, that nothing
can pass, until the state house question is DIS
posed of.
Both houses adjourned over Thursday on
account OF the death of Senator Samuel X.
Casey. There we're few men better known all
over the state than Senator Casey, and the
state has had few men of broader intellect,
sounder practical common sense, and possess
ing bigger heart or more genial and
kindly nature.

months in favsr q the acceptance of the inevita-
bic past. and fighting the coming presidential
battle On live issues. il beginning to crystalizs
into the shape of formal platforms. as democratic
conventions are beginning to meet in different
portions of the country. The first convention to
take the matter in hand was that Of the democ.
raoy of Montgomery eeuaty, Ohio. at which C.
L. Vsllandighan, Is chairman Of the committee
on resolutions. submitted . very carefully pre-
pared series, the leading points Of which are:
l. Accepting tho amendments to the eonstitu-
ton ~ 6nAlities, We demand an old .fashioned
construction of and adherence to all its provisons
We are to fight to the bitter end against all sub
terfuges and lodging, against the attempts SO
constantly made to ignore the constitution as
whole, while protesting to sustain it in its amend
ments. The republicans have set up . negro and
hidden the Great Charter behind him. We want
no further nonsense of that kind.
2. Mr.. Vallandigham reaffrms the doctrine of
state rights. Not as they were claimed hy the
south with the right of secession, but the right
OF each state to supreme local control of its af
fairs within the plain, literal provisions of the
NO euohs VI Cou6icoo ~ Ceutr6ls
Use the government, and under one pretext or
another to work itself into the manag cement of
state affairs, is too dangerous to the liberties of
the country TO be allowed to continue. Every
government under the sun which starts from one
unquestioned central power is . tyranny, and it
BODIES no good to the people when republic
travels towards that central power from which
other nations are trying to escape.
There are many minor points of interes in this
platform, but the above have attracted the chief
attention.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania have Just
held their state convention, and in their resolu.
tions fully endorse and affirm the leading points
OF the Montgomery platform and now comes q
despatch from Columbus stating that the Ohio
convention on Thursday also endorsed it.
The radical press aud leaders are completely
obfuscated and alarmed by this democratic "ds.
parture," as they call it. They expected t. fight
the presidential battle of 1872 on the old Niger
issues, but this takes the wind out of their sails.
The New York Tribune says frankly that this
thing means danger, and warns its brethren that

The most afflicted city on the face of the
earth, just now, is Buenos Ayres. Ofits 20o,-
600 inhabitants, $4,000 have died within the
last month of the black vomit or yellow fe-
ver and $4,000 more, at last advices were
sick, of whom a majority will probably die.
All the inhabitants who have been able to do
so have left, leaving but about 10000 of the
very poorest in the city. The cause of this
fearful mortality in a city that was noted tor
the salubrity and healthfulness of its climate
is said to have been the neglect, o: late years
Of the cleaning and draining Of its streets.

FRIEDENsFEsr.-The great German peace
festival at Chicago on Monday was one of the
most notable pageants ever witnessed in the
Northwest. The participants in the festivities
are said to have numbered 10000. The pro-
cession was three miles long, marching eight
abreast, while the numerous flags, banners,
notices and other devices were simply amaz-
ing in point of number, artistic design, and
significant import. There was slight dis
turbancs in the regular movement OF the pro-
cesson ON account of its being overtaken by
terrific thunderstorm, but the larger part of
the column heroicaly stood firm
