ECONOMY AND REFORM.

The Ohio Legislature spends a good
many thousand dollars every year in
time consumed in efforts to economic by
cutting down the price of printing. They
are ready to economize to any extent in
this direction. Now let the press be
heard from, and tell Honorable members
where they can economic to some pur-
pose.
We believe the members are paid FIVE
dollars per day for every day, Sundays
included, whether they are at Columbus
or at home.
In the report OF the Auditor Of State
we find the cost of the present Legisla
ture for its first session, that of 1876
On page 22S is the following:

Contingent expenses Of Legislature. 1000 "
Grand so
Nearly one hundred thousand dollars
for the first session. To this must be
added the enormous sums for stationery
and printing, and scores of other ex
penses, which we have not space now to
enumerate.
One Of the vilest swindles is the mile
age grab. The Auditors report shows
that at the first session the members OF
tho House received for mileage the sum
of S3,257 50. and the members Of the
Senate 81, ,125 ~. This is four times as
much as the real cost Of travel, and the
truth is, it does not cost the members q
cent, as they all have passes on the rail
roads. Are they in equity and good
conscience entitled to this money!
1t is curious to look into the items

ourraEe By negroes.

On Wednesday evening last complaint was
made TO Esq. Naudain by James Smith and
his wife Kate, that an assault and outrage had
been committed BY negroes upon them. On
their description, a negro named Sam'l Cham
bers was arrested and subsequently identified
by the woman as one Of her assailants. The
evidence as elected on hearing before Justice
Naudain was in, effect as follows On the even
ing in question the negro Chambers overlook
the Smiths near Derrickson's Corner, about
half mile from town, and asked them if they
were looking for work. Being answered in
the affirmative Chambers promised to obtain
places for them on a neighboring farm, and
told them to remain at the corner until be
could put his team. which he was driving,
away and he would come back and take them
to the promised place. About dusk Chambers
returned accompanied by another negro. The
negroes then led the way through a corn field
toward the residence Of Governor Cochran.
When about half way across the field the
negroes ordered Smith to go back, which he
refused to do alleging that the woman was his
wife and he would not leave her with them
One of the negroes then knocked him down
with loaded whip leaving deep cash in his
head an inch long. They then took the woman
further into the corn and threatening her with
death if she made any outcry, they both, in
turn. brutally outraged her person. 0n being
released the woman made her way back to her
husband and both returned to town and made
complaint as aforesaid. Chief-ofPolice Roth
well being notified at once went in pursuit of
the negroes and captured Chambers at the
house Of Mr.. Robert Whittock and brought him
to town, where a hearing was given him be-
fore ESQ. Naudain, with the above result, and
he was committed to New Castle to await the
action of the Grand Jury. James Smith and
Kate Smith the complainants were also com
mitted in default Of bail as witnesses. Two
other negroes, Jim Roddel and Jim Bayard,
were also arrested but as they denied that they
were Of the party that assaulted her they were
released.
The Smiths are tramps and the negroes are
residents Of the neighhorhood. Chambers has
always hitherto born pretty good reputation
as a farm hand. The affair created quite lit
tie sensation. The trial was held in the porch
Of the National hotel in the presence Of "a large

Some of our growers seem deteanined not
to yield in their demand for cheaper trans
portation for fruit Several gentlemen ia this
vicinity who have for years been heavy ship
pers by rail are now carrying their peaches to
Odessa and shipping them to Philadelphia BY
barge, under the convoy of a steam tug,
which runs daily from that place. Some Of
these gentlemen haul their peaches from right
alongside Of the railroad, making haul of
three or four miles where less than half
would reach the cars. The inducement
for this is the difference of freight. From
Odessa to Philadelphia the freight by boat is
six cents per basket, the peaches being deliv-
cred at the wharves, and there is seldom any
carriage TO pay on them. By rail the freight
is eight centsand the carriage four-makinga
difference between boat and rail- Of six cents q
basket.
From the neighborhood Of Smyrna and
Clayton many growers are carrying their
peaches to Rothwell's Landing and Bombay
Hook, whence they are carried to Philadel-
phia by The Pierrepont, at the rate Of Eve
cents per basket, and no carriage, and from
points further down the river we understand
that peaches are being shipped across the bay
TO Bayside, on the Jersey side, whence they
are carried per the N. J. Central railroad to
Jersey City. What the freight is by this
route we are unable to state.

John, Oliver and James, sons of Isaac Yansant,
who resides just over the Maryland line, near

the horse, which was usually very gentle, took
fright, and commenced running and kicking,
when James who was sitting on the front part
driving, fell out, and one Of the wheels passed
over his back injuring him so badly that he
died the following day. John jumped out and
had the breath knocked out Of him, for the
space of minute or two, but luckily was not
seriously injured. Oliver fortunately escaped
unhurt. The horse passed out Of the bars and
ran nearly mile before it was stopped. DR..
Henry, of Newark, was called to attend the in

was about l2 years ofage, and was a very prom
