THE LOCOFOCO WAY.

In 1898, the Wings had a small
majority in the Ohio Legislature. There
was a Senator TO elect to fill the vacan>
cy occasion by the appointment OF Gen,
Harrison Minister to Batoga. The two
Houses had passed a resolution TO 60 in
10 an election at 8 o'clock P NJ, and
then adjourned for dinner. When the
Senate met to 90 into the election, it
was Without a quorum, the Locofoco
members having absented themselves!
The Sergeant. at arms was sent for them
but he only found three members who
refused to attend. They skuIked from
duty in violation oflhe resolution Of the
majority and thus defeated IN election
for that time! They refused to attend
10 duty, under their own law, but they
contrivedNo hold on to The power they
had abused-Mey did not resign! That

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-GREAT
LOSS OF PROPERTY.


From The NelO York Erpress, June |.
About haIEpast o'clock this morning
fire broke out in the large book pub
fishing establishment Of Messrs. } &. J
Harper, at No SO, Cliff, between Ferry
and Frankfort streets. 1t is Impossible
TO ascertain the amount of damage, but it
is estimated at between $4,000 and
100000. The amount of insurance is
something like $4,000, principally in
The Equitable, Bowery, Mutual Safety.

of The Hartford Offices, the mans Of which
we did not learn. The loss sustained is
principally in stork; the building with

supposed to have sustained but very slight
injury. Their Stock was unusually

A CoINCIDENCE.-We published some
two or three days since Mr. MADIsoN's
comments upon that article Of the Con-
stitullon which makes it the duty of the
United States to protect each State on
the application Of its Legislature, or of
the Executive when the Legislature can
not be convened, against domestic vio-
Ience. To illustrate this article Mr..
MADISON supposes case 10 arise IN
which, by the terms of the Constitution.
it would become obligatory upon the
Federal Government to Interpose to pro-
tect the State, and the case so put bears Il
very remarkable resemblance to what has
actually occurred in The State of Rhode
Island. 1t is scarcely less singular that
in the discussions upon this same ari-
Gle in the Convention, the conduct OF
Rhode Island at that time was urged as
reason why such power should be
vested IN the United States. The record
