COLUMBUS, Dec. 9Th, 1874.
Sir:
The peoples Representatives are again
here to discharge the duties imposed on
them by their constituents. On Monday
nearly every member answered to their
names, and Immediately proceeded to the
organization of the Legislature. After the
organization of both Houses, the usual re-
solutions were adopted informing the late
acting Governor that they were ready to
receive any communication he might @e
pleased to make. A considerable struggle
wasqna6e by the Locotocos &c make Ton"
BARLEY the Governor, and in all his official
communications he had the extreme mo-
desty tie style himself "I'homGs ". Bart
Iey, Governor ojihe Slate Of Ohio, and Com
mandtr-in- chief Of The ,d'ny and Many
thereof" What magnificent idea, not
only Governor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the Macy. Ia the injmtable production
of Cervanies, Sancho Panza's ambition was
satisfied to be the 4Gevernor of 'an Island
without any othefsStitle, but this modern
squire to the great knight of LocofocOisn
is not content to be Governor merely, but
must have the high sounding title Of
Commander-1n-chi3QfLhe Army and Macy.
What a Democrat! The Wings, however,
thought that the old established preccdents
of Ghc founders of our State Government
would be the most safe, and accordingly
addressed him as the late acting Govern
nor, &c. In the history of our State there
has been three vacancies in the Executive
office, yet in no instance did the Speaker
of the Senate think he was Governor
These, however, are days Of progressive
Democracy, when preccdents and princi-
pies have given place to experiments and
new political5osmas.
On Tuesday morning the @tCommtnder-
in-chlef 0He Nauy" &C., sent his Message
to both branches Of the Legislature. 1t
was choice speoluRn Of the progressive
democracy, it contained all the slang of the
INSCRIPTIONS partisan against the 'curren-
cytOr the last six years, and it IS about as
long as the general laws Of the last ses-
sion. Ahe next step was TO procure the
printing of this collection of nonsense; a
resolution was accordingly offered to print
ten thousand copies Of it, and to procure
the passage of the resolution, they had
coupled with itTen thousand of the lnau-
gural of the Governor elect. Upon this,
however, the Wings took a decisive stand
against all extra printing, and refused to
print any whatever. The .expensesJf the
Statehes increased 70 rapidly, land parti-
cu'arly the printing thatit compeIl-
ed those guiding the ship of State to reef
aheir sails. The foolish practice ofprint-
ling such documents ought to be stopped;
for while the clerk was reading the Mes
sage at the desk. themembes were en-
veloping it to their friends. In despite of
the best efforts to print, the country pa
pers would circulate it -four or five days
sooner than it could be from here,
On Tuesday at ten o'clock, the Cover
nor elect was inangureted; his address
was repete with sound sense and whole
some recommendations-bu you will, no
doubt, circulate it by means of your valua-
bic paper among your numerous readers
who will make up more correct opinion
ofits merits than I can give you.
On Thursday, the Hon. THowAs CoRwIN
was el5eted to the United States Senate
in the place Of the Han. B. Tappan, and
the Hon. E. Lane was reelected Judge Of
the Sup meme Court. These are glorious
selections. When weCan exchange such
men as old Ben Toppan for the eloquent,
learned, and profound Corwin, who would
not excIaim, a glorious changes
Business is progressing rapidly, and the
principal measures are now in progress,
; and the people may confidently expect a
short session, Business will detain ma
here a few days and if have time, and
any thing occurs worth communicating,
you shall again hear from
EUGENE,
