414 THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL. The Martha Washington Case Prisoners. We learn from the Louisville -Courier that these individuals were landed from the Tel egraph No. 3, about 10 o'clock Thursday night, when an omnibus was in waiting which took them direct to New Albany, where they were transferred to the JNew Orleans packet, B;dle Sheridan, offer mid night, and that boat got under way imme diately. Lyman Cole was taken aboard at Madison. The Courier gives the following particulars : " Officer Bruenhad six aids with him, and great praise is due to. the officers who plan nad. and carried the arrest into execution, for their proinptn?ss, and the great adroit ness, and ability with which the whole affair was conducted. Every detail was arranged and carried into successful execu tion most admirably, and there is no doubt that the whole posse, will be surely delivered to the authorities of the State of Arkansas, to stand their trial for murder and arson. Every effort was made bv parlies in Cin cinnati to stay the arrest, and writs of habeas corpus, and bail writs were issued from all quarters, but to no effect. The ce lerity of the. movements of Burton and Bruen frustrated all efforts to clog justice of its dues. The. police, of this city were tele graphed Thursday evening to arrest William Kissane at all hazards, and the officers were. flying around in all directions' to make the arrest. Thv knew of his connection in thj Martha Washington disaster, and without well-knowing on what order the arrest was to be made, they were all anxious to catch' him, but he was in good hands, and in safe keeping far away. Mr. Shurrager and others of Cincinnati, who are bail for Kissane and others, arrived here yesterday morning in search of the parties, and in the hope of rescuing Kissane from the clutches of the officers. They were too late, but proceeded to New Albany, and, we believe, got out a writ of habeas corpus upon learning that the parties were on the Belle Sheridan on their way to Arkansas. They did not give up the cause, but got on board the Ben. Franklin, bound for St. Louis, in the expectation of catching the BalleSheridan before she gets out of trr Ohio river. It is to be hoped that nothing will intervene to thwart justice of its dues, and that the guilty may be punished. Suee Receipt for Happiness.

The Dayton Empire thus speaks on the proposed sale of the State's interest in the Public Work? : In our judgment, nothing short of a fale of the Public Works will remedy the evil complained of. There is too much ma chinery about them ever to be prop tl v reg ulated by State authority. They will, in the hands of .the State, continue to b; an in creasing source of expense and pl-rplexily, while under the control of individuals or a company, they will be a source of revenue to the State, and at ihe same time relieve it from all responsibility in regard to their ranagement. We. know there is a diversi ty of opinion among the people of the State on the subject, yet we are firmly of the opinion that the day is not fur distant when, by a vote of a large majority of the electors of Ohio, the question will be decided iu favor of a sale.
