The Legislature has enacted law
requiring that not less than two hun
dred and forty days of open session of
the Court of Common Pleas shall be
held by each Judge during the year.
unless all the business assigned him
be sooner disposed Of Another
good thing in the law is requirement
that said Judges, or a majority of
them, in each common pleas district,
at the time of issuing their written
order to the Clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas in each and every
county in their said district, fixing
the time of the commencement of the
terms of said courts for the ensuing
year, shall specify in said order what
terms or parts of terms of said
Court of Common Pleas shall be
held by each Judge of said district
in accordance with the apportion-
ment of labor between said Judges,
and that in arranging the division of
labor by the Judges, they shall, as far
as necessary, so arrange the same as

More Reform Democracy.

One of the directors of the Ohio
Penitentiary, under its new demo
cratic management, had nephew
whom he wished to provide for, and
he secured the services of member
of the House of Representatives to
introduce bill providing for the ap-
pointment of storekeeper at the
Penitentiary, with salary Of l,50O
a year. This bill came up for third
reading last Wednesday. 1t stirred
up hornets nest. Among others
who attacked it was Mr.. STONE, our
faithful member, who is reported as
follows:
Mr.. Stone said he was opposed to
the increase of salaries of off GERS,
either of the counties or States; it
was too late in the day for US, as rep
resentatives of the different sections
of this State, to say by our votes
upon this floor, that we are In favor
of filching from the taxpayers their
hard earned money to put it into the
pocket of this appointee.
Mr.. Speaker, L oppose this bill for
the reasons just enumerated; and
further, sir, l charge here, from my
place on this floor, that this man (or
rather boy-a near relative of one OF
the trustees has received for each of
the last four months one hundred
and twenty-five dollars per month.
Now, sirs, as l SAID a moment ago,
from my place on this floor, 1 charge
that upon the order of the warden
of the penitentiary, this pet of that
institution, has in the four months
last past, drawn from the treasury
the sum of two hundred dollars of
the peoples money, contrary to law,
which he is no more entitled to than
| am.
Mr.. Stone then read a duplicate Of
the order of Colonel Innis for the
payment of this money, saying it
was copy verbatim, ct literatim, ct
spellatim, ct punctuatim, and chal-
lenged any member upon the floor to
deny it.
He also said he did not oppose
the bill as a political measure; he
would scorn to do anything of the
kind. He did it because he owed it
to himself, to the State and the con-
stltuency he had the honor to repre-
sent upon this floor.
Here is nice job, all that some
good democrat may have a soft
place. The bill was postponed.

Democrats Opposed to Peace.

Democrats OppOseu 10 o"oo'
Efforts have been in motion for some
weeks for restoring peace to Louisi-
ana. Finally, plan was agreed upon'
receiving the endorsement OF the lead
inc men of both parties in that State.
This was, first, to reseat the democrat
ic members of the Legislature elected
and thrown out by the returning
BOARD. and second, to recognize Kel-
logg as the Governor. Resolutions
embodying this arrangement were
presented to Congress and recon-
mended by majority of the Louisi-
ana Committee. Three days before
adjournment they were brought be-
fore the House for action. Now let
the country mark the result. Not
withstanding prominent Louisiana
Conservatives were upon the floor ap-
pealing to their democratic friends
not to defeat the consideration of the
compromise resolutions, yet the result
was, save in two or three cases, the
vote of the democratic members was
solid against both consideration and
adoption of the resolutions. Thanks,
however, to the Republicans, they
were passed, and now comes the in
telligence from New Orleans that the
effect there is acquiescence and
peace. Upon the passage of the res
olutions, George F. Hoar, the Chair
man of the Louisiana committee,
said: 81 regret that our friends of the
other side should have voted in solid
column against permitting a PROPOSE
tion to give peace to Louisiana, even
to be voted upon" The desire of
the democratic members seems to
have been to keep Louisiana in a
state of anarchy as nest egg for the
Presidential campaign of 1876. They
were willing to sacrifice the peace
and even the lives of the people of
that State, to mere party advan-
tage, as they supposed.
This action against the restoration
of order and peace in Louisiana, by
the democratic members of Congress,
shows their lack of all principle or
motive but that of mischief and de-
struction. 1t is an astonishment to
the country. 1t cannot be defended.
Even the Independent press speak of
it as ga grave political blunder," and
the Cincinnati Commercial adds this:
The fact that the democrats in Con-
gress opposed the measures adopted
for the paciticatioR of Louisiana will
not insni1e public confidence in the
motives of that party.
1t is not necessary to have an ex-
ira session of Congress to develope
the mischievous and destructive char
acter of the democratic party. The
few local victories of last fall have
done that most effectually. 1t has
learned nothing since 1861, and it
don't desire to learn anything. 1t is
tied to issues long since dead, and it
will be happy day for union, peace
and freedom when it is buried, with
those issues, in the grave of public
indignation.

The present Congress has done
two things that promise peace in the
South during the present year: 1t
has adopted compromise measures as
to Louisiana that are accepted by the
leading Radicals and Conservatives
of the State, and refuse to disturb or
allow the Administration to disturb
the existing State Government in
Arkansas. There is a prospect that
no further serious troubles growing
out of reconstruction will arise, and
we may, therefore, anticipate period
of peace.-Cin. Com.
And the country should not forget
the important fact, that the demo-
Gratis in Congress voted against the
pacification Of Louisiana. The cred
it of peace in that distracted State is
due wholly to the Republicans.
