When one reads the Times-Chronicle he can't help admiring the Cincinnati Gazetteand vice versa. Whichever one you read last, you can't help feeling that the other grows brighter. The good Deacon Richard Smith is just like a mule every time the gad thwacks him he kicks out behind In exactly the same place, whether his tormentor is at that or the other end of him. By an announcement in this morning's State Journal it will be seen that the Ohio' Agricultural and Mechanical College will be opened for the admission of students September 17 of the present year. We are requested to ask that our Slate newspapers make general notice of this fact, in the interest of education, and that they state further that full particulars may be had by addressing at Columbus, Ohio, Joseph Sullivant esq., Secretary of the Board of Trustees; II. S. Babbitt, Treasurer, or Edward Orton, President of the College. The Sunday News picks out one phrase from our translations of the Westbote articles, and gives it special prominence, omitting a compliment to the English papers generally of the city. The phrase contains the immortal name of the "Sunday News." That is what makes it golden. All the rest of the Westbote's articles are totally ignored by the News, and it does not even make its acknowl edgments for, our translation. Thia is rather a constipated style of liberality. If the State Journal had been guilty of the same pettiness the Sunday News would never have known that its name was mentioned bv the Westbote. The editor pf the Sunday News might have saved much space for other twaddle, if he had reflected that the city advertis ing is required by the contract to be given to a daily paper. Under the general laws of the State, no ordinance could go into effect for two weeks after its passage, if published in a weekly paper the law requires not less than two publications. In addition to thia there Is the considers' tion that there is grave doubt whether publication required by law may be legally made in a Sunday paper. Litigation on this point was threatened, if not begun, against the city, when a former contract with the Sunday News was ter minated. It was held that, as the law did not recognise contracts executed on Sun' day, and did not recognise Sunday as in any way a legal day, therefore a publica tion of ordinances made on that day was of no legal effect. A Sunday paper is not legally a "weekly" paper. Sunday legally dies non, and a paper published oa lAal day only is paper published liter ally on no rfay, in the eye of the law. There la no legal refinement In this, but it straightforward logic. As to the publication, abstractly considered, the law recognises three kinds: When there is no newspaper published in the corpora tion the notioe may be published by post ing the manuscript copies; by the same reasoning, when there is no daily, weekly newspaper will do; but in a city - worthy the name of city, where every one is justly supposed to take same daily pa per, the law implies that the publication shall be made in paper of that class. Our City Council has the wisdom to see thia point, and has ordered accordingly. That is all. The ludicrous farce of having the "Offi cial Paper" receive pay for republishing stale report of the daily papers of week ago, will not be repeated: The Council might a well pay for publishing a last years Almanac. Publication n daily paper gives opportunity for doing business oa city basis it we wish to go keck to village ways lctns hare the city business buried in a weekly. APPORTIONMENT. Perhaps no one of the standing committees of the Constitutional Convention has a more difficult task to perform than that on Apportionment and Representation. It consists of twenty members, one from each Congressional district, with Dr. Darsey of Miami as its chairman. It has held for some time past daily sessions, sometimes protracted and of a heated controversial character. The principal novel schemes ' considered by the committee have been the propositions of Messrs. Baber, Dorsey and Woodbury, heretofore noticed in these columns. After discussing these for some time, the committee agreed to take up the article (XI) in the present Constitution, section by section. Though no definite action has yet been had, it is understood that the majority have agreed upon the following modifications of that article : The first Bection is so changed as to pro-vido that the ratio for Representatives shall be the quotient of the whole population of the State divided by one hundred and five, instead of one hundred as at present. The second section in also modified so as to provide absolutely that every county shall have one Representative, leaving out of the section as it now stands the words, " having a population equal to one-half of said ratio." It is also provided that every county containing the required ratio and onehalf over, instead of threefourtha as now, shall be entitled to two Representatives. The residue of the section remains as at present. The third, fourth and fifth sections of the article relating to what are popularly known as " floats," are struck out. The Senatorial ratio will, it is thought, be fixed at the quotient arising from dividing the whole population of the State by thirtyseven, instead of thirtyfive, as provided in the present Constitution. The committee has at present under consideration the perplexing problem of a division of the State into proper Senatorial districts. We hear it intimated that probably no material change will be made in this respect, but that the present districts may be substantially retained. But what the report of the committee will ultimately be is as yet almost as much a matter of conjecture with its members, as with the public. Commencement Week at Gambler.

The Medina Gaiette of the 20th says A storm of hail, wind and rain swept through the northern part of this county last Monday afternoon, doing considerable damage to property along its route. In some places bail leu to the depth of four inches. The wind was a perfect hurri cane. Fences, trees and orchards were scattered and torn up, and in some instances corn just ready for the cultivator waa completely ruined. 1 he storm passed through Brunswick and Hinckley and traveled southeast. Mr. H.Chidsey, who lives on the town line between Brunswick and Hinckley, was sufferer to the extent of perhaps a thousand dollars. His barn, a building ZZ by as reel, waa moved eight inches: the trees in his orchard were twist ed off, his fences laid low, and a great deal of valuable timber blown down in his woods. The doors of his house were blown off their hinges and carried through the house. The Washington 8tar aaya that the weather is getting so warm and debilitating that members of Congress can't make an their minds to give up their back pay.

No other members of Ire House have returned their pay, ami the number from that body on Treasurer Spinner's list remains at 32. Additional testimony in the Polaris investigation it published.

Peace Commissioner Meaeham, who Narrowly Eecaped Canny' Fate, tell Ibje tttorjr of l lie Maosaera HI Idea or the Beat Indian Policy. New York. June 21. W. P. Mea eham, Chairman of the Peace Commissioners to treat with the Modocs, and who narrowly escaped the fate of his associ ates, General Canby and Dr. Thomas, is in this city, on his way to fort Klamatb, where a military commission for the trial of the captured members of the band will sit. Meaeham can make no use. of his right hand, the nerves of which were paralyzed by the ball through the wrist and forefinger. His left hand is twice the natural site. Ihere still remains a slight war on his forehead from the ball, and from some cause a lump is on the right side of the head. The other wounds received on the ear, in the Bide and elsewhere have entirely healed. ' ins story ot the treachery wnicn re sulted in the death of Canby and Thomas is but a reiteration of that already told. Meaeham says lumselt and the other Commissioners had full information of their fate in the start, but as Canby and Thomas would not accept the warning he could not remain behind while they went into danger. It was Captain Jack who gave the siguW for the slaughter and shot General L'anbv, while old oconchm at tended to himself with pistol and knife. Of the issue of the forthcoming trial lie expresses no doubt but that the Modocs who participated in tne assassination win be convicted and executed. The effect ol a virtual acquittal or pardon after con viction would be disastrous. With such a result beiore their eyes the turbulence of the other tribes could not be restrained. The white men who massacred the Modoc prisoners should be' hanged, Meachem thinks, on the same gallows with the Indian murderers. During the war, the Modocs killed and wounded about three soldiers for every warrior in their lorce, at no time numbering more than sixtyfive; and that, during the first three days' fight, the band not only held out against eight hundred troops armed with every appliance ol modern warfare, but kept a passage open for retreat, which even the Warm Spring scouts could not close. Meaeham advises that those not guilty of participation in the massacre be remanded to their reservation; that to distribute them among the other tribes would be a punishment to some only. His idea of the best policy for the future is, that all tribal lines be abolished, and IM toe Indians be made amenable to the laws, and be placed on the same footing with other members of community. CHICAGO. An Uncommerelal Transaction-"- Trick In the Corn Trade. Chicago, June 21. During the past week a number of bins of No. 2 corn, amounting in the aggregate to about one hundred and fifteen thousand bushels, in two of the elevators here, have been post ed on 'Change, as 1b required in such cases, as out of condition, being heated. The natural effect on the corn market has been to create an unsettled feeling and depress prices, and yesterday No. 2 corn sold at twentyseven cents per bushel cash, wnicn is the lowest point touched in this market for twelve vears. There has been consid erable feeling aroused among operators in corn, and charges have been made on 'Change and in the city press that the corn posted as heating was traudulently posted for the benefit of certain parties, and to the detriment of the trade. A resolution was introduced on 'Change to day, which, under the rules,lies over until Monday, providing for the appointment of a committee to investigate these charges, and if thev find that there Is good ground for them, instructing the attorney of the board to ascertain if there are grounds for legal proceedings against the parties making these postings.

A Herald special, dated Biarritz, June 21, says : Serrano, Marios, Cabal laro, De Rod as, Ga-vunde, Sagosta and others, residing here and in the neighborhood, are endeavoring to organize a moderate party and secure possession of the Government of Spain. They have made overtures to the Carlists and to the regular regiments now in the Republican service, intending, if they secure a sufficient force, to march on Madrid. Propositions of this nature were made to Etio, Dorregaray. Lizzanru and other leading Carlists, who all refuse to have any relation with Serrano or his partisans; but it is believed that many of the regular regiments of the Spanish army are now in the interest of this conspiracy. The party pretends to favor a Unitarian and Conservative Republic The Carlists were told that should they not accept the proposition the Northern provinces will oe abandoned to them, and the troops withdiawn to the southern side of the Ebro river until the re-establish ment of material order in Spain proper, when invasion and s war of conquest against Navarre and the Basque country will be undertaken.

THE MISSION OF THE SHAH EXPLAINED New York, June 21. The London Telegraph of the 0th has the following special : "Berlin, June 7. To-day I have received from high authority certain infor mation in regard to the European tour of the shah, which cannot tail to be of interest to your readers.
