OHIO LEGISLATURE.
The two most important things
to bo done during this session of
the Legislature is the election of a
United .States Senator, and re-dis
tricting the State. The Legislative
caucus held last Thursday evening,
in which Senator Sherman was re
nominated, insures his re-election
The open 'and frank manner in which
this was done, and his large majori
ty, goes to show that Sherman's
strength is great, and that the peo-
pie nave commence-in mm as a
tried servant The caucus, contrary
to the general rule,was thrown open
to all. Both houses of the Legis
lature are getting ready for busi
ness.
A joint rosolution was introduced
from the Senate on Saturday provi
ding that a committee of seven from
the. Senate, and on motion of Mr.
Bradbury nineteen from the House,
be' appointed in re-districting the
the State. Carried by 62 to 9.
KU-KLUX TRIALS.
At Columbia, South Carolina, the
Ku-Klux trials arc finished for the
present Forty-eight Ku-Klux from
Spartansburg county, who confessed,
. were sentenced to imprisonment
ranging from one month to two
years. The Petit Jurors were final
ly discharged by Judge Bond, who
it is expected will leave to-morrow
for Baltimore. The Grand Jury
sits for a few days longer. Kb de
cision has yet been made in the Me
Masters case.
PROTECTION.
Even while the Ku-Klux are stam
ped out in South Carolina, the ap
pear in Kentucky, where they have
signified a determination to drive
every negro from Enyette County.
The day is past in which such
threats can be seriously made. The
defenseless people of the South,
black or white, have the Govern
ment of the United States for their
protectionj and it may as well be
understood that they will be defend
ed even if it takes the whole power
of the nation to do it.
RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
War between Russia and Japan is
one of the possibilities of the near
future. That the Japanese govern
ment has taken no active steps as
yet to resent the seizure of the Is
land of Saghalicn is by no means
to be construed as a pacific accep
tance of that act by Russia; and the
removal of her center of action in
those seas b' the latter power from
the port of Nikolaievski, at the
mouth of the Amoor, to that of
Vladivostok, close to the Chinese
frontier, and practically in Japncsc
waters, will, it is thought, bring
about a collision. Th more
wc hear of the Japanese, however,
the more "knowing" a people they
seem to be, and perhaps they have
the rare wisdom not to bark before
they arc ready to bite. When the
steam fleet they are building is fair
ly afloat, that time may, in their
judgment, have arrived.
PERSIAN FAMINE.
No very general movement for the
relief of the famine struck people
of Persia has ever been made in any
part of the civ lized world, though
some spasmod ; action has been ta
ken in parts of Europe; yet, accord
ing to late accounts, the famine is
unabated in its terrors, and the con
sequent suffering is" undiminished.
Previous contradictory reports may
well be set aside, for the latest state
ment seems worthy of credence. Is
it not time that the Christian world
did something for afflicted Persia?
CUSTOM HOUSE FRAUDS.
Despite the persistent efforts mad?
to create the impression that the
committee of Congress appointed
to investigate Custom House frauds
would not honestly perform the
work assigned them, they are evi
dently unearthing evil practiccs,and
seem to be thoroughly in earnest in
searching into any evils that may
attach to the order system. It is
clear that they arc inspiring intense
anxiety among the gentlemen inter
ested.
GERMAN FLEET.
It is now believed that a German
ileetwill visit this country some
time next summer, while on its way
to South Americx This fleet- will
consist of four powerful, first-rate
vessels fully armed, equipped and
manned, and it should meet with a
warm welcome from America. But
it is said that the object of the ex
pedition is twofold to overawe
Brazil and Venezuela. It is scarcely
necessary to state that all America's
traditions warn usjthata close watch
must be kept upon this warlike ex
pedition, and Prince Bismarck
should be reminded that, while his
authority may be, paramount in Eu
rope, "there are limits beyond which
he must not venture on this side of
the ocean. It might suit that great
man's plans to have a little, unim
portant war across the seas, which
would serve as a school for the Ger
man navy, which was somewhat ig
nored in the late war with France.
but the advantages which might
thereby be gained are scarcely
greater than those he is sure of, by
holding as aloof from America as
nature and the American policy
have decreed.
DISGRACEFUL MUDDLE.
arrcst of Warmoth
The Louisiana muddle has be
came worse mixed than ever. The
Democratic members of the Legis
laturc and those siding with them
made affidavit under the Ku-Klux
act that Governor Warmoth and his
colleagues in he State Government
siding with him, together with his
adherents in the Legislature, were
combining and conspiring to pre
vent the execution of the laws. The
United States Commissioner issued
arid-twentjisix others, and the writs
were served by the U. S. Marshal.
The next step was the movement of
the Warmoth party upon the State
House, which they occupicd,and by
impressing some stray Democratic
members who could not escape in
time from the neighborhood a quo
rum of the Legislature was formed,
the proceedings of the other faction
in the Legislature declared null and
void and a new Speaker elected.
The anti-Warmoth faction, headed
by Speaker Carter, held a meeting
in another place and declared the
Warmoth party in the State House
not to be a legal Legislature. Plans,
it is reported, were concocted for a
movement in force upon the State
House. The police, militia, and U.
S. troops arc all under arms, but on
whieh side their power will be used
is not clear. It is reported that the
President has rebuked the United
States Marshal for arresting Gover
nor Warmoth.
It is a disgraceful state of things,
and no credit attaches to either side
in the controversy.
JAMES FISK JR.
The cowardly and cold-blooded
assassination of Col. James Fisk
Jr. in New York, on Saturday, will
cause much comment through the
whole land, for no man in the coun
try was more universally known,his
name, by good and b' evil, having
been made as familiar as a house
hold word, xne deceased, had an
eventful life, one full of changes of
luck and fortune, and died the pos
sessor of immense wealth. His as
sassin is a man of wealth, too and
associated by marriage with some of
the best families in New York.
Frail woman was at the bottom of
the murder.
EIGHTH OF JANUARY.
It is a suggestive thought that
the Democrats assume entire owner
ship of the 8th of January anniver
sary of the battle of New Orleans.
Gcn'l. 'Jackson, one would think,
was all the military hero the coua
try ever had worthy the honor of
Democracy. Is it also a little sin
gular that whi 2 they arc enthusi
astic in their , raise of 'old Hickory'
ol the past, .aev arc cxcceilinp-lv
wicked in their denunciation and
o
abuse of living military heroes,
whoso names will shine brightly in
history through all ages.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
The Democratic caucus met Mon
day evening to consider the Senato
rial question. After balloting, G.
W. Morgan was declared the nomi
nee. In the meantime they arc to
stand ready to receive advances from
anti-Sherman men relative to a com
promise candidate.
The feebleness of tho Thiers gov
crnmcnt is alienating from it the
sympathy of Europe, and seems to
bo engendering the contempt of
Germany. This is another step to-1
wards absolute failure. Wc have
little doubt that a change must oc
cur, ere long, but whether in favor
of the Orleans or Bonaparte family
remains to be seen.

ALONG THE LINE.
No. V.
Having a few hours before train
time, wc called on the editors of the
Davenport Gazette, and spent a half
hour or so in general conversation.
This office is well fitted up and the
proprietors are meeting with great
success financially and politically.
The paper is a good one.
Passing along towards Chioago
and a short distance from Rock Is
land, is the town of Moline, one of
the heaviest manufacturing towns
in the West
At 10.20 P. M. we left Davenport
for Chicago, at which city we arrived
the next morning. The weather
was cold and stormy with a slight
fall of snow.
In consequence of being detained
atthc hotel wc missed the train and
were obliged to wait till evening,
when wc started for
PLYMOUTH, IND.,
At which place we arrived at 8:45
P. M., and put up at the Empire
House, kept by J. E. Fleming & Son
formerly proprietors of the Empire
House, Millersburg, and arc well
known to citizens of this countyJme
This house, ibeing located near the
depot, on the main street, and kept
as it is in first-class style, makes it
as it should be, the headquarters for
all travelers. The Messrs. Fleming,
assisted by their accomplished la
dies, spare no pains in their efforts
to render their house all that may
be desired by a stranger. The house
is doing a large business.
Mr. Fleming and son have our
thanks for showing us around the
town as well as for other favors ex
tended. Y e visited the new court
house, now being built, which, for
cheapness, convenience, comfort, as
well as beauty, will have few equali
in the Western or Middle States.
It is built of briclc and Jolict stone.
containing offices for the county of-
ucers ana a court room. The build
ing is fire-proof, has two stories and
a basement, and is located on high
ground, overlooking a vast scope of
country, it is a credit to the county.
Plymouth also has some very fine
store-rooms for a Western town and
supports two very respectable county
papers, has a population of about
d.ooo, has two railroads with a pros
pect of a third. This county has
one drawback, it is slightly Demo
cratic, but will, like many others,
see the error ot its ways and come
out clean handed some day.
Friday noon we started for home,
well pleased with our visit at Plym
outh and our stay at Mr. Fleming's.
WARSAW
Is another of the growing towns of
Indiana, has a good conntry snr
rounding it, is a good business point,
with lair railroad labilities. At
jioxroeville
We met with the only mishap during
onr trip W est As the train was go
ing along at a pretty rapid speed, a
two-horse team was run into, which
was in. the act of crossing the track,
instantly killing one horse and so
crippling the other that ho had to
be killed instantly. Thus in less
than three.minutes two horses were
killed and some man out of pocket
several hundred dollars. The pas
sengcrs did not know anything of
the occurrence, the shock not being
felt, until the tram stopped and the
conductor and others started back
to see what damage had been done.
Whether tho team was in the act of
running away or the driver attempt
ing to cross the track before the
engine, was the cause of the acci
dent, we did not learn.
All r ight again, and away we glide
to tho cast as though nothing had
happened. The old "iron horse" is
a very stubborn fellow and generally
has his own way, defying everything
that it comes in contact with.
As you proceed eastward, on the
P., F. W. & C. R. R.,you see here
and there some poor land, but, as a
whole, the road runs through a good
country and penetrates some of the
nchest'and best portions of Ohio.
Night brought us to our home.
Wc'have thus given a running de
scription of our flying trip to the
West, and only wish -to say some
thing as to the
CLASS OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE WEST.
We have heard it said and inti
mated that, generally, it was the
ignorant, shirtless people that gen
erally emigrated west, while we
admit that in the west as in the east
can bo found people of all nations,
conditions and colors, wc believe
there are less of the shifting, mouth
to mouth class, in proportion to pop
ulation, in tho west than in the east
A man or family that think they will
go west and live there without work
ing or doing much, miss their calcu
lations very much. It is work, en
terprisc and energy that has made
and is making the west what it" is,
and that is the kind of people sought
after and desired there. A loafer
has few friends. Go into any of the
western towns and you see every-
Doav uusy, anu a more cheerful.
pleasant and accommodating people
cannot do lound auywherc.
Winter-is of course rather an un
pleasant time to vi3it the western
prairies, but sitting by a warm stove
and having good company there is
no occasion to be lonesome.
The west politically, as a general
thing, is Republican, which, of
course, accounts for its prosperity,
for never was our Government on
sounder footing or on better terms
with all foreign nations than it is
now under the rule of the great Re
publican party. It is this party that
has made the Great West what it is,
bv offering great inducements to
emigration, not only from eastern
states but from foreign couutrics.
But it takes people of all classes and
conditions to make a great country
likc this, and it would also be a great
uimuiuiui: io una people were tucre
but one political party.
inc west is quite jealous of the
east, and therefore strains every
nerve toward progress, and is well
compensated too for what it does in
tins direction, jjiu some of our
Eastern and Middle States, and es
pecially somo of the towns iu those
States, show tho same spirit, there
would bo less old fogyism, towns
would prosper better, and sometimes
find less difficulty in securing rail
roads than they do now. Indeed,
wc are of the opinion that if some of
our old towns here in Ohio, could for
single week watch the stir and bus
tie of a busy western town, many of
them would awake from their slum
bers and show a spirit of new life.
But wc will leave our readers here,
and if they have been benefltted by
aii3'tliing wc have said, nil well, if
not, wc presume it is all well also.

Inaugural Address of Governor R. F.
Noyes.
to add the remark.that some amend-
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: In accordance with the expressed will
of the people, I appear before you to
day to take the oath of office, and to as
sume the duties of Governor of Ohio.
I do not fail to appreciate the impor
tant trust confided to my charge, or the
bonbr too little merited,of being select
ed as Chief Magistrate of a State, num
bering nearly 3,000,000 inhabitants, and
holding high rank in the nation on ;ac
count of the intelligence, virtue, and
material prosperity of its citizens. It
Unfortunate that the emergency of our
civil war, and the heavily burdened
years which followed it, have passed
away, so'that there -is less need than
formerly, of those high administrative
abilities, and that experience in politie
aljaffairs which made the State of Ohio
pre-eminent, when exercised by my
predecessors. While I may not expect
to rival them in successful administra
tion, I shall hope not to be outdone, in
zeal for the public good, and in honest
effort to promote the best interests of
all, over whom Tarn called to preside.
To this end, I invoke the support and
co-operation of the law-making branch
ol the state government-
Propriety and prevailing custom
make it the duty of the retiring Govern
or to communicate to the Legislature
such recommendations as in his judge
ment may; be necessary. This service
has been so well performed bv Gov.
Hayes, that I do not feel called upon to
repeat or modify any ofhis suggestions.
It may not be improper, however, for
menrto "extsttng legislation seems to be
desirable with reference to the manner
of selecting runes in our courts. The
habit of filling the panel largely from
bystanders, who are present in the
court-room for the express purpose of
serving a3 jurors,opcns tne uoor lor cor
rupt and dishonest practices, at vari
auce wiin puuuc morals, anusuDversivi
of justice. It is feared this evil is too
common, especially in large cities, an
your attention is respectfully invited to
the subject.
There does not seem to be, at this
time, any pressing demand for exten
sive legislation; and I therefore con
gratulate the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives upon the prospect of t
short and harmonious session. Inas
much as the Constitutional Convention
will assemble during the present year.
and will, undoubtedly, make mauy
changes with regard to ti. i powers and
duties ol tne legislature, enactments,
otherwise might seem to be desirable.
may well be deferred for .e present.-
It is a great satisfaction ,o know that
the internal improvement and develop
ment or the State are being carried on
succcsfully, by individual enterprise
and private capital. Itailroaus and tel
egraph lines are being rapidly extend
ed rapidly extended iuto parts of the
State heretoiore more or less inaccessi
ble, whereby districts rich in coal, iron
and agricultural resources, are brought
near to ready markets. Our multiplied
industries are inviting labor from other
States, and furnishing employment and
homes to emigrants from other lands.
Towns' and cities are being built with
unexampled rapidity. The finances of
the State are in a prosperous condition,
since the public debt grows smaller and
the burdens of taxation lighter. Edu
cational advantages are brought to tiie
doors of the poorest and humblest citi
zens, and the common schools of Ohio
are perhaps second in excellence to
those of no other State. It is our great
nrivelcge to guard them with icalou:
care, as nurseries of the brain and the
heart of our youth.
While neighboring cities and States,
have, within the past year, suffered al
most unpreceuenteu anuetions,anu nave
been subjected to appalling disasters,
kind Providence has dealt gently with
us,and has crowned our lives with pros
perity.
Gratefully remembering all our mani
fold blessings, I am now ready to enter
upon the discharge of new duties,in the
position assigned me. If, at the end of
my official term, I shall be permitted to
return to private life, bearing with me
tho respect and good will of the men of
all parties and conditions, in the meas
ure enjoyed -bythe distinguished gentle
man wuu to-uay uiusj uu uiiiciuuy laru-

Mr. Colfax and the Vice Presidency.
The South HenilJlcgiste'rof Jan
4th,has the following concerning vice
President Colfax, whose home is in
that place
The last issue of Harper's Weekly says
that Mr. Colfax has frankly admitted
that notwithstanding his avowed inten
tion to retire from public life at the
close of his present term, yet if a nom
ination is oflered mm by the Itcpubli
can Convention, he will feel bound to
accept it, and it further says that the
nomination would proDauiy oe accept
able to bun.
"We have heard Mr. Colfax express
himself freely and frankly on his in
intention to retire from public life at
the expiration ol the time lor wlitcn he
was elected, and of his earnestness and
desire to do so, there is not the least
doubt, and he has many reasons for so
doing, no received eignt nominations
by his party for Congress , and three
unanimous nominations by his political
associates in the House of Representa
tives for Speaker. He was nominated
for Vice President on the ticket with
General Grant in spite of geographical
locality, over many distinguished com
petitors. When clectedjhe announced to
his most intimate friends that there he
intended to halt, and after he had serv
ed that term not to be aspirant to that
or any other othce. His greatest- am
bition was satisfied, and he had no de
sire to take a step higher.. Twenty
years of political, support was as much
as nc couiu expect, and nc claimed that
at the next -National Convention, with
Gen. Grant as the nominee for Presi
dent, the East or South bad a right geo-
eTapnicaliy, to expect tne second onice
and he would cheerfully support the
nominee, and labor as a p ivatc citizen
lor tne principles lie hat so earnestly
maintained.
Another reason for Mr. Colfax desir
ing to retire to private life is that he is
by no means a wealthy man, in the com
mon acceptance ot tho term. From the
day he became Speaker of the House un
to the present hour his expenses have
exceeded his receipts. The Vice Prcsi
dent has to live in Washington in :
style becoming the second highest offic
er in mo nanon,anu on me prcsentmca
jpe salary, nearly one-half of it goes
for house rent alone. Every man likes
to lay up something lor a 'rainy day.'
Mr. Colfax is an excellent business man
and has many good oners awaiting ac
ceptation when his term ends, at hicrh
salaries, some of which he would no
doubt accept but a desire to live in this
city, where he has been a citizen for
over 30 years, and for whose citizens he
has had such a candid and earnest
friendship and regard. Accordingly
last year ne invested largely in a lurnl-
ture factory and a chair factory here.
and has accepted the Vice Presidency of
cacn company.
Mr. Colfax supposed that there would
be no trouble in his retiring to private
Me and their labormg lor the party
which had placed so much confidence
in him and had crowned him with so
many honors. But when there is such
a strong desire manifested in the party
to again place mm on the ticket with
Grant, a desire that reaches from Sena
tors down to the humblest iu the ranks,
we do not see how he can reject the
nomination, or, as has been said, throw
it back in their faces'. Harper's Weeilii
judges him wrongfully when it says the
nomination would ucaccrptauic to mm.
We know that his greatest wish is to re
tire to private life, but wo believe also
that It would bo wrong for Mr. Colfax
to reject an unanimous rc-nominatlon.

tins morning James Fisk Jr., expired,
All that unremitting medical skill and
attention could do had been done,but of
no avail. Jay Gould was in attendance
from an early hour this morning. The
news of Fisk's death spread rapidly and
everywhere produced a proloiind sensa
tion of regret. All aspersions that his
enemies had heaped upon hi3 character
were in the moment lorgotten, and only
his noble qualities of head and heart
.were remembered. The scene in and
ayoHUif jfte;roomi.where the body lay
was .toucningm tue extreme, it be
came, necessary to admit up-stairs only
those'Jwho came on business. Later iu
the afternoon, prior to tho removal of
the body1 to d isk's late residence, the
gcneralpublie were admitted to view
the body.
At six o'clock this "morning the first
ominous.change appeared in the patient,
aitiiougn not pernaps tne lirst indica
tion ol his nnal end. llo grew a little
restless, ins lace snowed greater pallor,
and his breathing became less easy and
regular, un ieeung nis puise ur. t inn
er found it was.more rapid,-very nearly
one nunureu. At nan-past six uol
Fisk said something in a broken tone,
and then closed his eyes. The change
in his face became more apparant, the
pallor more ucatiuiKc, and moisture
appeared on his forehead. The pulse
was over one hundred and the doctors
stood by the bedside, watching the pa
tient attentively. At seven o'clock it
was first announced that he was fast
sinking, and that danger of the sudden
ending of intense agony was very great
His pulse was at this time 130. Dr.
Fisher went down stairs in a hurried
manner and asked something of the
night clerkand went back again. He
looked very anxious.
At a quarter past 7 jars, t isk arrived
She was admitted lirst into an ante
room, and soon afterward into tho bed-
rtiom. Mrs. Fisk was terribly agitated
at the bedside of her .husband. This
scene was the most heart-rending that
had yet taken place, and those present
could not suppress there emotions. Tho
doctors were appealed to by his wife to
give somo little hope, but they gently
indicated that they dare not say there
was any chance oi me. nsK was not
much moved at moments when he was
cognizant of his surroundings, but
seemed never deserted by that coolness
and fortitude which he displayed when
urst shot.
At eight o'clock there was little
change. At half past eight the doctors
consulted, 'and at nine o'clock the sup
pressed excitement about his bed was
inmost too intense to bear. At half past
nine the menus wcra permitted to
go to his bedside, and he thanked them
for coming. After this the rapidity" of
uei-uuu auuneu iLcii more strongiy
than at any time before. At ten o'clock
were w as an eager anu nusueu WI11S
pering, as it was told in every car that
uieenu'was sureiy drawing nign. At
half past ten he lay scarcely knowing
mat. mere was any ministering to him.
Ho turned his face to the wall, noticed
no one, anu ceased to Drcathe at quar
ter of eleven.
The body will be conveyed from his
iare resiuence, jo. uia n est xwentv-
Third Street, to the Xcw Haven depot
at two o ciock iuonuay aitcrnoon. The
funeral will tako place at Brattleboro,
Vermont,, fruesdav atone r. M. The
brigade to, which.the Ninth regiment is
attached has been ordered out to escort
the remains to the depot to-morrow,the
mm acting as special, lnner.il escort,
Officers of the brigade will wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty
days.
Stokes was taken to the Tombs this
morning and placed in a cell on the
second tier, where tho worst criminals
ire conhncd. When he heard of Fisk's
death he expressed regret, and said he
did the deed in a state of frenzy. Tiie
indignation ot the public finds vent iu
general wlh that tho criminal mav
bo tried, convicted and hanged without
ticiay.
