NEWARK, Co. y Feb 10. 1873
Tremendous Excitement IN Ohio Grapd (oN,;o,, -,
the House Of Representatives Great 600 ono OOO
Meeting in a Ro,o- Thrilling Ercitemeut -, a,e
NeVark Iaaitute, &c.
Since my last letter to you, MIR. Editor some very
exciting transactions have transpired in several Of
the most distinguished deliberave bodies of which
the noble State OF Ohio can boast. In our Legislative
halls, an attempt has been made TO censure the
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives, and an
other member, probably the most able Of that body,
actually has been censured by resolution the great
$2OO, 600 900 stock meeting of the citizens OF Lick
ing county, ended In row, and the sc ces sion of
the democratic portion of il and last, but greatest
the quiet of the Newark Institute, has been disturb
ed by of the most intensely exciting contests be.
tween two of its members, that ever occurred in
any age or cllme-a contest compared with which
the collision OF Mr. Byington and the Speaker in the
Assembly, was nothing. But to descend to partic-
ulars.
In the afternoon of February H. bill was under
consideration in the House, to prevent the firing of
cannon in public streets and highways. After the
ed by the House, Mr.. Byingon made several mo-
tons, to reconsider, call of the House. and an
adjournment; all of which the Speaker decided to
be out of order from which Mr.. B appealed but
which appeals the Speaker decided to be out of or
der likewise. Immediately after the passage of the
bill, Mr. Byiugton, exasperated by what he consld.
cred as injustice and tyranny on the part Of the
Speaker, moved suspension OF the rules to enable
him 10 offer resolution that the Speaker had for
eited all confidence impartial presiding Off
Ger, either from stupid ignorance of parliamentary
law, or from wIiul decentralization of it," Mr.
b. was permitted to introduce his resolution, but az
ter an animated and exciting discussion, it
jected-yeas 2, nays 60. Mr.. Gordon then intro
duced resolution, :" That LIE Grand Byington, the
member from Rke, be censured by this House for
his unprovoked insult to the Speaker" This resou-
ton gave rise to an equally exciting debate, but the
House having adjourned without taking the ques-
ton, 1t did not come up again until the 18th. when
twas agreed to-yeas 35, nays 81 a vote produced
by the combination OF a few democrats with the
wings So MIR. B. received the censure Of the
House. This affair has engendered the most angry
feelings on The part of several members, which will
find vent, undoubtedly, whenever an opportunity pre-
sents itself.
In nv letter of the 9Th Feb | made mention of
great meeting in Newark the subject of the as
sumption of the State Debts, which meeting ad-
jonrned the 1lth Feb. On the last mentioned day
very eloquent and able speeches were made by D.
Duncan, Esq in opposition to, and by S. White, Jr
ESQ., in favor Of Cost Johnson's pref; but the meet
ing again adjourned to meet the 18th inst, when
the speech of l. Case, Esq, against the proja
was frequently interrupted by its friends. After
wards, the greatest noise and confusion prevailed in
an attempt 10 prevent Mr.. Taylor from speaking
and the CLAW finally so well applied, that the
democrats retired from the meeting and allowed
the wings to vote what encouragement it pleased
them TO the Hon. w. Cost Johnson. A meeting in
Perry county, which is adjacent to Licking, has
also spoken loudly in favorof Mr. Tohnson's plan of
saddling the debts of the prohgate exravagant and
foolish, on the prudent, frugal and wise.
On the evening of Feb. Is, at meeting of the
Newark Institute, most stormy and intensely ex-
citing debate arose on the passage of resolution
condemulng the land. bill of Senator Parker now
pending in the General Assembly. Previous ques-
tons and other motions, to hasten delay the pas
sage of the resolution, were made in every con-
ceivable way; and after It's passage, debate full of
personality arose resolution TO have the pro-
ceedlngs sent to Senator Parker and the Represen-
tatives from Licking. Dr. - and Mr.. C. applied
10 each other epithets of opprobrium in the most
skilful manner, which entertaining exhibition they
continued even after the adjournment of that most
learned and influential Society, of which they are
members.
We have had week Of rema rkably fine sleigh
ing which we have enjoyed to our hearts content.
