Last week we mentioned the shooting
of one child by another, in Chillicothe
We copy the following from the Gazett
of that city We do so that parents anC
others may take warning, and be more
careful that children do not have access
to fire arms. 1t is a most reprehensi
ble custom for boys, and even men, tc
carry pistols and revolvers.
The Gazette says:
On Sunday morning last the citizens
residing in the neighborhood of Ingham' s
paper mill, were electrified by the report
| of terrible accident that had happened
at the residence of Mr.. Andrew Hellman,
on Franklin street The circumstances,
as we learn them from the Marshal and
attending physicians, are as follows:
Mr.. Hellman is a fireman at Ingham' s
paper mill, resides on Franklin street,
and among his olive branches was pos
| sessed of bright eyed little boy about
seven years old. and little girl of FIVE
They have an older brother about 20
years of age, who, it seems, had been
careless enough to carry a loaded pistol
III his pocket. On Sunday morning the
little boy, by some sad mischance, seen
the handle of the pistol protruding from
the young man S pocket, and taking it
out, went out into the yard to show it to
his little sister. While they were hand
ling it the pistol was discharged, the ball
entering the brain of the little girl at a
point just above the left eye. The
shot alarmed the parents, and they
fastened out to see their little daughter
lying unconscious upon the ground,
minute, round, clean cut hole in the
forehead, from which few drops of
blood were trickling telling but too plain
ly the nature of the accident. Drs Wad
die and Scarce were summoned, and
they both responded to the call. The
ball remains imbedded in the brain at
such distance as to preclude the posi-
bility of removal At the time of writ
ing, however, the child had rallied from
the shock, but the greatest danger is
apprehended from the Inflammation
which is almost sure to follow. We sin
cerely trust this will prove an efectual
warning to the young man, and to all
those who are in the habit of carrying
loaded pistols in their pockets. 1t is
practice from which good seldom results,
and by which great injuries are frequently
done. 1t is an unnecessary practice, as
a man does not have real use for pistol
more than once or twice in a life time.

The laws passed by the Democratic
Legislature are now being printed, and
sent out in installments as they are
printed. Some good acts were passed,
but the session, as a whole, was failure.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading
Democratic paper of the State, has this
to say about it:
In bidding adieu to the Ohio Legisla-
ture in regular session assembled our
grief does not refuse to be consoled. 1t
has been deliberative body without a
leader, without following for the ap-
proaches toward leaders it has developed,
without consistency, and its session has
been barren of benefcent results. 1t
has passed very few wholesome laws
They might have been enacted in thirty
days. The most important measure be-
fore the General Assembly, perhaps was
the Redistricting Bill We originally
advised against the injection OF this
question into the politics of the State,
urging that it would defeat ends more
important for the sake of securing those
less so. The caucus thought differently,
and after the hands were put to the pillow
we did not advise looking back We
would have averted the wrangling which
of the measure. The action of the Leg
islature, more particularly of the Demo
cratic party upon this proposition has
been a miserable faScO. The attempt to
redistrict was made when it should not
have been made, and dropped into
wrangling when it should have been con-
sistently pursued. The Democrats were
in majority in the Legislature, but
their majority was dissonant flock of
boys that could never be made to cohere
upon any question. Had the Legisla-
ture, or Assembly passed the necessary
appropriation bill and spent the re-
mainder of the thirty or sixty days, be-
yond which limit its session should not
have been prolonged, in unmaking
rather than in making laws, it might
have earned the respect of the Demo
cratic party and of the people of Ohio
But it has rendered little valuable SER
vice to either the party responsible for
its actions or to the people of Ohio, on
whose behalf it has been acting 1t has
frittered away the money of the people
in abortive attempts to make a pretense
of doing something. 1t has worked about
two or three days a week. 1t has added
scarcely anything of value to the statutes
of the State. 1t certainly has done no
thing which could not have been done in
thirty days as well as in one hundred
We may be doing the Legislature injus-
tice, for, on reflection, we believe that a
law was passed to prevent the use of
ferrets in catching rabbits, and that must
have occupied the attention of the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Ohio for
nearly thirty days. But forty days still
have been wasted. Even some of the
best members from Hamilton county
failed to represent their constituents on
one of the leading questions before the
Assembly. The session of the Legisla-
ture, which closed Monday. neither rep
resenting the party supposed to control
it, nor working harmoniously in the in
terest of all the people, for whom the
laws are supposed to be made, must be
pronounced failure.

From the New York Tribune
The Western Railroad Trouble.

The vexed question of the right of a
Legislature to fix railway tolls either by
direct enactment or by commissioners,
is likely to reach through the Wisconsin
controversy an authoritative and final
decision. The Wisconsin railroad law,
which the companies have resolved to
resist, was passed in obedience to the
demands of the agricultural class, and
embodies almost all that the Grangers'
party has ever asked of the State in the
way of Legislative restriction. The three
commissioners appointed under it are,
one an eX-agent of the State Grange an
other Secretary of the State Agricultur-
al Society, and the third, editor of a
newspaper These Commissioners have
prepared inflexible schedules of maxi
mum tolls for freight, making great re-
duotion from the present charges, and
apportioning rates in all cases strictly
according to distance, The new tariff
was to go into operation the lst of May,
bat the railroad companies refuse to
abide by it, and propose testing the con-
