The Legislature of Ohio passed a law during tho
present session, which will go into effect on the Ist
day of May, prohibiting the sale of spirhuoua li.
quore in leaa quaniines than one quart .
It repeals all laws by which courts, cities and
iowpa aro authorized lo gram license, for retailing
spintoons liquors.
ft forbids the aellmg of liquor by the small; to be
drank at the place where sold-
,It forbids the giving away or liquor, when to be
.drank at tbe place where given.
These, it will be perceived, are thorough provia
ipna against retailing liquor, against retail liquor
houses, and against houses whore liquor coo he ob
kamedforlove or money, 10 be drank where ob
tained.
The set imposes a fine Tor ihe first offence, not
exceeding $26, nor less ihau ®o • and for ihe second
an d third offence a similar fine is imposed.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is of the opinion that the
.. . act does not prevent the granting of license for the
sale of mall liquors or wines.
Whig papers are publishing a letter of
. . .Pen. Jades, the new Rhode Island Senator,,stating
that he is now in favor of the" leading Whig meas

In the House, to-day, the only matter of spe

the passage of a Joint Resolution making the'
pay of , the . members of the Board of Revenue
Commissioners equal to that of the members of
the Legislature. This is right; •> The laborer is

meagre compensation for, the duties, toils and vena

much mro-a-daya in legislation. A public ser

persons, and if it were possible to find men who
would agree to do the legislation of the Common
wealth “for nothing and find themselves,” there
would be those who would complain stilt
Look at the list of Private Bills passed to-day,

of the poor Transcribing Clerks. Theirs will be

count ofone of tho most dreadful tragedies it has eior
being our lot to record, from tho Paulding (Jasper eo ,
Miss.) Clarion of the Ist inst. We have no mind at
[present, cays the Baltiiaoro Sun, to comment
on the atrocities committed by the negro—lhoy are
100 horrible—but as to tho sammary justice executed
upon him, onr detestation of mob-law is too great to
admit of any justification of its ateroioe, especially
whero the statute is fully adequato to the emergency,
and ns justice is unerring in overtaking tho offender,
as was ouro to have been the case in this instance
To beard the lan's majesty, at any ume, is a rearful
precedent, aa that moral barrier, once overstepped,
the tendeocy downward is natnral, and the pretexts
for its disregard become more and moro trivial as oc
casion may offer. The Clarion says : 1
“Since tho time when tho midnight murder of ]
Dr. Longgon and family sent a thrill of horror
through tliia community, no event has created a
deeper sorrow and more pervading indignation lhaa
the assassination, on Tuesday last, of Mrs. Mary
Dixon,-Wife of John Oixoo, and her infant child, at
her residence, in tho neighborhood of William
Bridges, Esq., by Haley, s negro man belonging to
Mr. Zachanali Thompson, (the lady's father)—
Having been summoned on the coroner’s jury, wo
wont in person to tho seenc of the horrible tragedy
saw the mutilated Imdyofthe murdored woman,the
severed throat of her infant, aod witnessed, without
regret, the summary and terrible, butalill inade
quate expiation ol Ins triple and atrocious crime
by the monster. Tho revolting facts ore briefly these
“On Tuesday morning, Mr. Dixon, unconscious of
the awful doom imponding over his faftily, started
from home in quest of cattle. His little son, an art:
less child, a few months over two years old, start
ed fondly after him, pursuing him some distance
unnoticed by the father and undiscovered by the’
mother. Mrs. Dixon soon missed the boy, went
alter him and called to him to return. She ivas then
approached by tho brutal villain, Haley, who at once
offorei] such indigmtios as tho virtue and pride ol
i civilized woman resents and resista evon at tho peril
oflifo. She repelled the advances of the bestial
monster, yielding neither to threats nor disgusting
importunities, when lie felled h or to the earth.—
An outrage too abhorrent for montion—an outv
rago that stirs to unappeasable indignation overy
manly and sympathetic feeling in iho human breast
was thon perprctralcd upon tho porson of his victim’
by the incarnate demon. She asked, at the hands of
the fiend, life—life, that sho might prepare for her
solitary remaining hope—a rofugo for her crushed 1
spirit;m heaven I But the ruffian heeded her not • he
spurned the prayer ortho wife injured beyond ro’pa
ration, and boat her on the bond with pine limbs and
stabbed hor until she died I * • » The infant
was found about thirty steps from tho mother, its
throat cut twice with long deep gashes. * » •
“When Haloy was arrested his clothes wero Gain
ed with blood, and tho wretch attempted and did
throwaway his knife. After being severely whipped
ho made tho annexed confession. His implication
I of tho boy, Paul, is entirely discredited by the citi
i zoos of tho neighborhood, various circumstances
strongly lending to the exculpation of tho latter. On
Thursday about two hundred persona wero assem
bled, Including many ladies. Tbo guilt of Haley
was too manifest for doubt j and whilo indignation
was at us height, and the blood curdled at the vivid
recollections of the unexampled atrocity, it was pro
posed that Halny he burned to doath. To this prop,
osition there was not a mngle dtssonllent, if wo ex
cept the nfficere of the law, who, in cnmplianco with
their sworn duty, protested against tho Ulegali
*yol the act. All were eager for the instant and
signal punishment of tho worse than murderer. Ac
cordingly he was borne to a tree, chained to it,
and surrounded with light suil other wood". It is
worthy of remark that the slaves present evinced
commendable abhorrence of tho crime and the crim
innl, and assisted with alacrity in his punishment,
lye will not dwell upon the horrors ofthe monster’s
death-scene. Bat In simple justice, we would ob»
serve, that those who participated in burning tho ne
gro, in point of respectability and character, would
rank favorably with tho samo number of citizens in
any community or Stale.”
Tlio confession above alluued to wo do not tbiok
proper to publish. It contains a full acknowledg.
ment of guilt, but falacly implicates the other sor.
vant (Paul) as the murderer of the woman, while ho
killed the child. This wae evidently with the hope
of release from the slake. Tho confession was mado
and taken down while ho stood tied thoreto. In a pre.
vious confession he implicated no one, and it seems
ho had long mod Hated an outrage upon the lady.—

Tho following Isom an eachango paper, is well
worthy the consideration of onr citizens:
The deficiency of parks ahd promenades must now
be e serious drawback upon tho prosperity of onr
city. Men of leisure resort to those cities that of*
far the. most pleasure. Paris has everything that
can .delight the eye, engfge the imagination,- and
instrnct the heads of atrattgors> end, eonseqnentlv,
Pans Is forever thronged with visitors, from all parts
of the globe. More than eight hundred American
visitors aro constantly in that city, and expend there
more than 81,600,000 per year. A large portion of’
the men of letsnre of Britain are in Paris for pleas,
ure, and the prosperity of tho capital of Prance is
in no email meaaore doc to the pnhltc parks and pub
lie libraries. London has more grounds in one of
her parks,than in all the parks of all tho American
.cities combined. London is tho most bcantifnl as
well as the most wealthy city in Great Britain,
Hor-Hjdo park is almost as large os the original
limits of Boston, and makes one of the mostbeauti.
fal drives in the world. Then thorn ia Regent’s
Perk, very spacious,filled with flowers, nod shrnbbe.
rr, and ponds and villas; Kensington gardens ; Lin
coin-inn fields, and more than eighty squares, many
of them contain from ten to filtccn acres each.—
fhon there aro St. Paul’s, Westminster Abbey, the
Tower, the British Museum, and a thousand other
things tointcrcst and delight. It is tbeaelhiogsthat
make her tho centre of all the fashion, wealth, ge
nius and taste of the British empire. Sweep alt
Ihese away, *r com them into gold, and leave
nothing but docks, and brick and mortar, and Edin
burgh, Dublin and Bath, wnh their parks and
promenades, and the sweet hills end valleys of
England, would rob London of half her wealth and
fashion in a twelvs-mouth. Most of the wealthiest
men in London never made a dollar by merchandise
in their life. So it is m Pans and most of the capi
tals oi Europe.
The Pacific Hailiioad. Notwithstanding the
failure of Congress to give to tho State ol Missouri
the grant of linda for her projected railroads, wo
are .aesured by the St. Louis Republican that the Pa
cific Railroad will be commenced at an early day—
as noon as the drawings and plana are arranged—
and that it will be prosecuted with all the energy
possible. It says: ■
“The bill provides that firm millions of State j n ,
dehtedneas shall be issued for tho Improvement of
ihoPecificßsilroad, and a million and a half lor the
Hannibal and St. Joseph road. Tho individual, city
and county subscriptions will be more than a mil.
lion of dollars, so that there is an actual capital of
more than three millions provided lor tho commence
