II Columbus, January 2lst, I943.
Genilemsn:-Another week of legis-
Iation has closed. It has been one deci.
dedly Of business, and the dOcketS have
been we'll relieved from tho great mass
of local business under which they were
labOring. The question Of the currency
has been but little agitated. We have
had an occasional debate upon q petition
or resolution and almost every day a
skirmish upon the question Of individual
liability in oil corporations. Things be-
gin to wear, with the democracy, bet
ter and calmer aspect. There is dispO.
sltiOn, which is daily improving, among
the members Of that party, to wheel in
as said to you a week ago, upon the
common ground, and carry out the rledg.
es to the people, byG permanent, wise
and juAicious settlement Of the question.
| If thiABe done, all will be we'll ;-if not,
but that iS not yet, trust, suppose

visions Of tho general law Of last win
ter.
Speaking Of this law, you will observe
that Mr. Latham has made an explana,
ton, in the Senate, Of his language in Te-
latiOn to it. lie reported the bill he
says in good faith;-it passed the Senate
went to the House, and returned with
some ihirty.ssven amendments. Against
. majority Of these ha ed;-they
were rejected "a disagreement and cons
ference ensued, upon which he refused
TO act. Finally these prevailed, and
then he [ Mr. L. vOled against the BILL
As introduced, he was responsible for it.
-as passed he was opposed to it. These
opinions he has frequently expressed "a nd
upon this expression were the remarks
Of Mr McNulty, in all probability ,baSSed.
Mr. Barley has introduced into the
Senate another and still different bill,--
It is a modification Of the present law
and il rightly understand it, authorizes
the formation Of associations under it,
without q special act Of incOrpOration,-
but subject to all itS restrictions and pro.
visions. ...
Mr. Hszeltino's proposition has aSsum.
ed the form Of en- amendment TO LSlhsm's |
bill Of last winter. It sppeSrS 10 me 10
contain, as it now stands, all the essen
tal amendments that are required to that
act, and ct present seems 10 hsTmonize

cratic members. It was very calmly and
sbly discussed this afternoon in the SEN
Ate,--Mr Barley giving try in . very
able speech, for successful motion 10

make oil deeds for such lands hereafter :,

'hich case the tax purchaser has biz q
money, interest and costs restored TO n,
i'm. The best commentary upon the I.
Olcy and exPodisncy Of this measure, : :
the fact, gathered from the public re. r
Ords. that the amount Of revenue now Sl
