TIe Legislature

Adjourned sane dt6 a ilue pOloIo
o'clock. this morning. The proceedings
Of Yesterday we're characterized by much
good feeling and good temper. The
members Of both parties, generally, iell
and expressed their satisfaction at the
prospect Of returning to the bosoms Of
! their families and the dwelling places Of
their friends, The session has been pro-
lonqed much by the peculiar division Of
parties, in the two branches; and the
close confinement and prolrarted labors
Of the last two weeks has produced q gen.
eral feeling Of exhaustion and debility.
The session lasted one acknowledgement
The adjournment took place Of the sape
day Of the month, on which the labors o.
The last session were brought to- close;
althoug not on The same day. We are
happy 10 see the old precedent Of adj
iourning over from Saturday until two or
three o'clock on Monday morning, 10 or
der TO draw pay for.tt,o days on which
nothing is done, disregareed by the pres
ent Legislature.
The honorable testimony borne by the
House to ability and impar,iality Of its
Speaker was well deserved, aud the man
ner in which it was rendered was alike
creditable to those by whom it was be-
slowed and him in whose behalf IT vas
rendered.
The vote of thanks in the Senate was
unanimous, although some Of the mem
bsrs have felt aggrieved at times by some
of the acts and decisions Of the Speaker,
The aim Of Mr.. BARLEY has generally
been to do right, but he lacked that self
command and ~eyenness Of temper; which
has SO uniformly characterized the acts
af Mr.. Gallagher. We are pleased that
the unanimous expression Of thanks was
not withheld, ri
During a p~rotracted session last even.
ing, the two Houses failed to agree upon
all the provisions Of the Appropriation
Bill. The House was unwilling to ap-
propriate money for the payment Of the
checks given on The various lines Of im>
provement, without irst instituting a
strict and scruinizing examination into
their character. An adjournment took
place until 2 o'clock this morning, in this
State Of affairs, At the appointed time
erE Loco ECrnssysrs pHhand, butNit was
discovered that several Wings were alb
Sent. Taking advantage Of this absence.
despite the efforts Of those Wings who
were present, the word was passed along
the Loco Foco line, and BY a email ma.
iority a motion that the House recede
from its disagreement TO certain provi
sions Of the Appropriation Bill, prevailed
So tho Appropriation Bill was adopted.
A resolution appointing Leander Ran
som a member Of the Board Of Public
Works, was Immediately adopted by tht
House, in the same manner; and It pas
sed through the Senate, Immediately at
forwards. Mr.. Ransom is again a mem
Der of the Board Of Public Works. W.
entertain no particular hostility to th'
man, but we cannot consider il as otheI
than an imposition upon the people o
Ohio, to keep up the present Board o
Public Works, in view Of the grav'
changes preferred against some of then
by Auditor Brough himself; without TAX
ing into consideration the fact that tn
Slate has but little employment for sucl
a Board. We do not feel. inclined t
pass csnsure upon those Wings who, b.
their absence, enabled their opponents I
obtain these advantages and accomplis
these objects.
The members, most Of them, left 70
their homes this morning, Messrs. Nc
BETH and WHITE, Of the House. are de
tanned by indisposition; which is suPPo'
ed, will prove hut trancient.
