Anniue sary Dinner, &c. &c.
The Ohio Legislature is again in session, and the
great currency questions which agitate the state
about to be decided. The Hon. JAS j. Faren is re-
elected Speaker of the Senate, and the Hon. John
CLANCY, lately M. c., is elected Speaker o the
House of Representatives. Mr. Byngion, the father
Of "Byington's Bill" and MIR. McNulty, were the
competitors of Mr.. CLANCY. The success of Mr..
CLANCY is looked upon by the wings as conserva.
tive triumph, as indication that the banks will
be gently dealt with but, in my opinion, has moth
ing to do with that matter. Messrs Byington and
McNulty are both very young men, and somewhat
radical certainly, although possessed of excellent
abilities; and the House, in electng Mr.. CLANCY,
was doubtless actuated by desire to give the post
Of honor to a gentleman whose age and experience
would give more dignity to its character and weight
to its deliberations, than youth. however able.
A bill directing the appalsement of personal pro-
perty. before sale, when taken on execution, has
been introduced, also bill to district the State
for Congressional representation. A bill to repeal
the law relative to fugitves from labor from other
states, commonly called the " Black Law" has
passed the House of Representatives. by vote of

since, by democratic legislature, at the instance
OF Kentucky, to enable the latter to reclaim the
slaves whom the abolitionists were constantly enti-
cling away but the stump orators of Kentucky have
since 1910, lnterfered so much with our elections
that sufficient number OF democratic members OF
the House was found. joining with others, to pro-
duce the great majority for the repeal of the law
which have given above.
We had great times in our city yesterday. It was
the anniversary of the Newark Institute which

Lucius Case, Esq, delivered Grafton, contrasting
our republican institutions with those of monarchi-

attention. The address of the eloquent gentleman

as might be expected, characterized by eminent

Demosthenic eloquence, veins of quaintest humor,

even an audience accustomed to hear these gentle
men on other occasions.
The debate being concluded, the Institute took

called on by the. sobriquet Of 81 JUPITER Tonans,'
which had been given him by some on account of
the leading and distinguished part he took when
member OF the Ohio Senate. The cheering was so
great and enthusiastic when Mr.. Taylor rose to re-

cheering 70 subsde, he made in pantomIme mo-
