The Ohio Legislature and the Banking System
Failure Of the attempt to Extend for Sir Months
the Charters of the Banks-Gaieties Of Necarh-
Religious Discussion, &c.
The Ohio Legislature, now in session, has not yet
passed any acts relating to the currency question,
the most important which will claim the consl
deration OF Legislators, but it has disposed of
much local business An attempt was made to pass
bill to extend, for six months, the charters of such
Banks were to their existence on the first of
January, which came very near succeeding The
bill passed the Senate by the following vote -
Yeas N-Nays6. OF the yeas, IL were democrats
and 10 wings of the nays, 4were democrats and 2
wings. The bill was rejected in the House of Rep
resentatves by vote of yeas 32-nays 49, Yeas,
80 democrats wings; nays, 10 democras-2S
| wings. The wings endeavored toprocure recon
sderaon of the vote, in order to pass the bill; but
Messrs. Byington and McNulty, the leaders of that
portion OF the democratic party which opposes any
favor being shown to the present banking system,
exerted themselves so skifully, and took such adj
vantage of their superior knowledge of the rules as
finally to prevent the passage of the bill before the
first OF January and consequently before the expi-
ration OF the charters Of those banks included in
the bill The debate in the House on this bill was
very warm and animated and attracted an audience
as large as could possibly be crowded into the lob
bes. Messrs. Byington and McNulty undoubtedly
| showed themselves possessed OF superior abilities
| a fact admitted even by those moderate men who
condemn their violence and radcalism. The vote on
the bill to extend the charters of the banks for six
months has proved at least thinsthat is that
| majority-and large one, too-of the democratic
party in both Houses of the General Assembly is in
favor of banking system of some kind. The object
OF that majority, IN trying 10 pass the bill In question
was TO gain time TO pass banking law which those
Banks whose charters expired on the LIST Of Janua-
ry would consent to bank under; and this, it was
supposed, could be effected before the end of SIX
months.
DR.. Odds, of Pickaway, is the leader of the demo.
cratic majority and Chairman of the Committee on
Banks and the Currency. He has just introduced
bill to regulate Banks, which sets forth his views on
the subject Of banking. Ii is not published as yet
Newark has been unusually gay for the last week
Parties OF every kind are rite. New Years ball
which took place the evening of the I'd January
was very agreeable and pleasant, and most hume.
rously attended, and was followed the next day by
two Dutch balls in different quarters of The city
religious discussion, between Mr. Flanders a cler
gyman protesting Unversalism, and Mr. Barnes,
Methodist preacher, commenced on the evening of
the Sd inst. The Supreme Court room, capable of
holding about six hundred persons, filled to
OVERLOOKING, and many went away unable to obtain
even standing place. The discussion continu-
ed last night, before large audience.
The weather is unusually cold, just at this time
favored with snow but twice this season sufficient
for sleghng, and that of very limited duration but
we trust that the winter advances, we may have
opportunity of signalling our love for that
amusement.
