The New York Tribune, speaking of'
Mr., Francis Herman, the Senator that is.
to be from New York, says: "Mr Kerr-
nan will be in every way reputable
Senator. He is a man of unquestiope6,
ability, of pure life and stainless char,lc.
ter, He is incorruptible and unassaila-
BILE. His religion was a serious disld--
vantage to him when he was a candidate
for Governor in 1872. But the most de-
voted Protestant will scarcely be ready toA
deny that Mr.. Kernans faith is better
than no faith at all, and that has BEEN
the sole religious tendency of too m,nyy
of our Senators. Mr.. Kernan's electiuIr
is Governor Tilden'S triumph. Thus far
he has carried all the points with which,
he began his Albany campaign. More,
than ever it begins to look to his Demo-
ocratic friends as if he were the man OF
destiny"

THE SENATE.

AlLA1 OlIANAAL 1s
The Senate spent the entire morning
in the discussion of the Morris Senate
Railroad bill, relieving the Marietta, ,Cleve.
land 4 Pittsburgh Company from the
provisions of the regulating fares and
freights and quashing all prosecutionsnoN
in the courts against that company fol
violations of said law.
After nearly twenty hours had beer
spent in its discussion, this measure came
to a vote and was lost on its passage
yeas IS, nays II.
Mr.. Morris Senate bill restricting the
provisions of the act oflast winter in ref
erence to gambling to professional gamb'
lers, was passed.
Remonstrances were presented against
any change in the present liquor laws
and against the passage of the bill per.
mitting the trapping quail
Mr.. 0ren's House Fee and Salary bill
came up for third reading, and consid.
cradle discussion followed proposition
to substitute for it Mr.. Ferrall's labor bill
The substitute was finally agreed to.
The passage by the House to-day Of
Worthington's Senate bill abolishing sec.
ond trials in Common Pleas Courts is con.
sidered one of the most important actions
of the present Legislature.
THE HOUSE.
Petitions were presented as follows
Of2l9 citizens of Shelby county, for the
repeal of an act to establish joint sub.
district in said county; of 201 citizens Of
Stark county, for law to prevent the
spearing of fish in any of the waters oi
the State between the first day of April
and the fifteenth day ofSeptember; of 2G
citizens of Clarke county, for the reduc-
ton of the fees of county officers.
The House spent half an hour in Com.
mittee of the Whole upon the appropria-
ton bill.
Fourteen bills were read the second
time and referred.
A special message was sent by the Gov
ernor to the House in reply to Mr.. Gros-
venor's resolution of inquiry as to why
troops were called out duringthe Nelson
vile riots. In the message the Governor
says the troops were not in fact sent to
Jacksonville; that he was applied to by ].
Longstreth, w. B. Brooks and other op-
orators, saying that they intended to set
800 negroes to work in their mines and
feared resistance; that the Sheriff of Ath-
ems county refused to apply for aid al
though he considered the situation threat
ening; that the troops were ordered
merely to menace and terrify the miners
and prevent an outbreak.

One copy of a book published in Eng
land, in the year 1880, has found its way
into the United States. 1t is the Memoirs
af George the ~, containing history Of
all the scandalous passages in his life, to-
gether with an exposure of the corrup-
ton of his political administration. A re-
ward of $1,000 in gold has been offered
for the book in order that it may be sup
pressed. Gen. Grant would give larger
snm than that to have history of the
corruptions of his political administration
suppressed. The book is the property of
a young lawyer in Louisville, named
Fox, and of course is worth $4,000. At
least this is what the telegraph tells us
which may or may not be SO. There is
no doubt that the royal debauchee was
married to Mrs. Fitzherbert, which he
afterwards denied, and was married to
Caroline of Brunswick whom he treated
shamefully.

1t is said the February statement of
the Public Debt ought to show an in
crease of five millions, instead of little
over one. Warrants for payment of
claims have been held back. This doc
tering is to deceive the public. The N.
Y. Tribune declares that the United
States Treasury is about empty-much
worse than year ago. This may ac-
count for Grants demanding an increase
of taxes. But if, as reported, the Debt
was diminished twenty millions from
January 10 last November, Why the me-
eessity for an increase of taxes? The
suspicion is there is great rottenness in
the management of the finances.

The Tilton-Beecher case continues to
make progress. Since Monday morning
Theodore Tilton himself has been on the
witness stand, and yesterday Mr.. Beech,
er's attorneys commenced the cross-ex.
animation. Mr.. Tilton swears positively
to the confessions of his wife to having
had criminal intimacy with Henry Ward
Beecher. He related the various inter
views with Beecher and others-spoke Of
his inquiries as to the little boy Ralph
gave a history of the Woodruff publica-
ton and blames Mr.. Beecher with his
becoming intimate with the W0odhulls,
In fact it is evident the whole party were
considerably tainted with the abominable
stree love" doctrines of which the Wood
hulls were the champions. The crowd
in attendance continues large.

1t is believed that the anxiety of Grant
Butler & Co. to defeat Andy johnson for
the U. S. Senate really secured his cleo
ton. The following dispatch sent to a
member of the Tennessee Legislature
from Washington city by Congressman
Roderick Random Butler, of that State,
helped to elect Andy: "For Gods sake,
don't send Andy here, Would rather
have the deyi here than him. This is
what we all say, from President Grant
down. Don't put yourself down as CEN
surfing Sheridan and Grant. Sheridan
and Grant are right" Well, Andy got
through, and Butler, Grant & Co, are to
have the ex-President in the U. S. Senate
if he lives. The men who tried to i'm
peach him when President may hear
from him.

NELsE SEYMOUR of Dan Bryant's famous
minstrels is dead. His right name was
Thomas Nelson Sanderson, and he was
highly connected, being a son of Commo-
dore Sanderson, long ago Collector of the
Port of Baltimore; his mother, Mrs. San
derson, made with her own hands the
flag which was raised and prompted Key
to write the "Star Spangled Banner
This son died at the age of 40 years; he
was graduate of the Baltimore High
School, and afterwards Naval student
at Annapolis, but disliking that, and pos
sessinga nature given to rowing, he joined
Dan Rice first, as clown, and being an
excellent singer, he soon entered the
minstrel profession, in which he has con-
tinued since. He has long been with Dan
Bryant, and was. the greatest favorite in
New York.

1t is said that old Ben Wade and ex-
Governor Noyes both decline to run for
Governor next fall on the Republican
ticket, and that the leaders in this State
are now turning their eyes to ex-Govern-
Or William Dennison, now one of the
Commissioners of the District of Colum-
bia. If Mr.. Dennison had not accepted
the post of District Commissioner and
permitted himself to be used by the ring
he would make better material for cam
didate; but if the people of Ohio should
become convinced that he has been aid
ing amy of Boss Shepherds schemes, they
would express their indignation in an
emphatic manner, for the honest voters
here understand the character of the
Boss and his projects good deal better
than Mr.. Dennison appears to.

RESUME.

The Valley Railway Company presents
to the consideration of capitalists the
most direct practical line of railway from
the vast mineral deposits of Ohio to the
greatest distributing lake port.
The road possesses unsurpassed char
acteristics in its ahgnments and grades.
1t traverses the most populous and enter
prising region in the State of Ohio, a sec
ton which has increased in population,
manufacturing and material wealth, in
the last decade more rapidly and in great
er proportion than any other, and to this
enterprise, this thrift, the Valley Railway
will contribute the great motive power
to successful remunerative manufacturing
cheap fuel with facilities to bring to the
consumer the best of fuel at the lowest
possible rate.
The Valley Railway will make the
link in the shortest line of railroad from
Cleveland to Washington and Baltimore,
and connection with the vast railroad
interests of the Baltimore and Ohio Raj :
road.
Its terminal points, Cleveland and
Wheeling, are centers of vast iron and
other other manufactures with large cap
itals invested and are each noted for the
prosperity and enterprise oftheir citizens
Akron and Canton, midway on the line,
in the last ten years have grown from vii.
lagos to cities, and are in the front rank
of inland manufacturing cities in the
State.

A GAS BILL, we perceive, has passed
the Ohio Senate, offered by Mr.. Worth
ington, of Hamilton county, In the re-
port of Mr.. WIS remarks on the bill he
says that gas stock in "villages" was sell
ing at over 800 per cent. We must say
we have not beard Of anything like this
in any Village" in Ohio, and we do not
see that Mr.. Worthington designates one.
We have not observed Cincinnati gas
stock even, quoted at more than about
200, and we have no doubt that Mr..
Worthington, or any other party, can
buy all the gas stock outside of our large
cities at par, or thereabouts-much of it
below par. The bill provides that city
and village councils shall only give gas
companies privileges for period not ex-
ceeding two ye rs, and provides for an
appeal to the Court of Common Pleas.
The time, it appears to us, is too short to
allow of fair chance to the company.
We believe the public ought to be pro-
tected, but at the same time fair dealing
would require that the company's rights
be protected. Men will not invest in
gas business, especially in the smaller
villages and towns, without something of
a chance for their investment. The bill
may be all right for large cities, but it is
certainly too illiberal for the smaller
cities, towns and villages. A measure of
this Importance should not be hurried
too much, and we hope the House will
consider well, and act upon solid infor.

Die in whispered prayer,
Throughout the land-throughout the world

The white man into bondage hurled,
The colored man set freel
Cease Charity thy Christian deed
Love, leave thy happy home;
And hearts thatJoy, and hearts that bleed
Unto the burial come,
From every State from all the world,
To Freedoms grave we fee,
The white man into bondage hurled,
The colored man set freel
star is stricken from the SKY,
And falls in wavering light;
A sister States despairing cry,
Rings out into the night,
Let freedoms banner now be furled,
Proclaim the sad decree;
The white mans into bondage hurled,
The colored man set freel
Bright bayonets glisten in the sun,
And merrily rank and file
Follow the tap ofthe stirring drum,
With insolent, naughty smile.

A decided fiutter has been created IA
Washington circles by the New York
Suns exposure of the great Memphis &
Ell Paso swindle. 1t seems the swindle
has been we'll known at Washington for
some time. The bill to incorporate the
Memphis 4 Ell Paso Railroad passed the
House in 1869, and was pending in the
Senate when Congress adjourned that
year. Some twenty millions of the stock
was given to members of Congress, the
value of which depended on Congress
passing the bill. Fremont and his friends
put their fraudulent securities afoat on
the Paris Bourse, and received subscrip-
tions to the amount of $3,800,000. Baron
Boileau, Fremont's brother.in-law, died
in prison for the crime, and Fremont had
better remain away from France. The
fraud was too public to get through Con-
gress since. Schuyler Colfax, General
Schenck and other leading spirits were
mixed upin it.

d. L. KING, President:
Dear Sir:-Herewith please find state
ment of the progress of construction to
December l, 1874, and estimated cost of
complete line. The road was put under
contract from Cleveland to Canton in Jan-
uary and February of 1873, but owing tos
difference of opinion between the COM
pany and contractors the contracts weFe-
cancelled before the work was all com"
pleted. The grading on forty miles is 3.
finished, and all the bridges of any iu,-
portance are up, ex ept three, viz: One
at Cleveland and two at Akron, of sixty
six feet span each. 1t will require but a q,
short time to complete the otherstTu
lures as the material is now on the ground
for them. The arches under the Cleve-
land, Mt. Vernon & Delaware Railway
and under Market street, in Akron, are
completed. Only seven thousand moro
ties are needed between Cleveland and
Canton.
