COLUMBUS, Dec. Both, 1913.

Dear Sr:-Snce my last ofthe 28,h
inst. The Senate have had, what may be
considered final action on the bill exten
ding the time OF settlement 10 tho Banks
Of Geauga, and the Commercial Bank Of
Cincinnati. Their charters expire on
next Monday. 10 order to give them
the benefit desired, it was necessary
that tho bill be passed before the day
OF ;hsir natural deceass; and for that
purpose Mr.. Perkins moved to suspend
the constitutional rule. This required
a ma jority Of twothirds, and The motion
after long debate, was decided in the
negative. In The debate The Loco's took
the ground that Banks wore unconsti-
tulionaI; and that it was unconstitution
al TO suspend the rules. Certainly no
sensible man, who is honest, after what
has transpirsd here, this session, can
claim that the LocOS are in favor OF
Banks in any form.
The House, this morning, indefinitely
postponed the Senate resolution. to
print seven thousand copies of Auditor
Brough's annual report. You have
doubtless seen it. The Auditor is not
only the Legislature, and Governor Of
Ohio; but is the Congress and President

THE TEXAS QUESTION IN ALA
RAMA

10 the Mobile Advertiser Of the 18th
instant we have some further details Of
The proceedings Of the late "Democratic
State Convention" Of Alabama from
which we learn that during its session
that body had under consideration the
question OF the annexation Of Texas TO
the United States This subject was
brought before it in q coupls Of resOIu
lions submitted by gentleman from
Mobile, which proposed 10 express, a'
the opinion Of the Convention, that "it
is most essential 10 the interests Of the
South that The Republic of Texas should
be annexed 10 The United Statss;" that
the original right Of our Government TO
her territory cannot bs disputed; that
annexation 10 earnestly desirable, not
only IromImolives Of policy, but because
The people Of Texas "are oI our own
kindred and blood ;" and requesting the
members Of Congress from tho State OF
Alabama 10 bring proposition Tor an
nexalon before the National Legisla-
iure.
This notable proposition, that Texas
ought TO be annexed 10 the United States
because, iH the opinion OF the mnver,
part Of ils territory once belonged 10 Us,
is, ss The reader will perceive, au un-
disguised pfopositionito repudiate Trcd

THE ICE TRADE.

Ice is becoming an important article
of trade and commerce in Massachusetts.
II is known that during lew years past
it has been exported from Massachusetts
10 distant portions ofthe world, and has
proved a profitable speculation. Who,
a few years since, would have ventured
TO hint at the possibility OF such a re-
suliP And who but a perseVerlng, inde'
fOligabe, never firing Yankee would
have venturod or thought Of storing up
this article for expor7 What could
preven, a nation composed OF such men,
aided by good government, from grow
ing 10 wealth, power, and might, until
they ovsrshadowed tho world with their
possessions and commercs2 But, our
object in commencing this paragraph
was merely 10 aIIude to the dimensions
of a new house that has been erected
by a Mr.. Nathaniel Wyetb, OF Fresh
Pond, Cambridge. Mass, who has been
heretofore engaged in storing ice, but
has concluded TO go into it more exIen-
sveIy. The main building he has erec'
ted is composed Of a ripple wall forty
feet high, one hundred and seventy eight
feet wide, and one hundred and ninety
fest long, enclosing moro than three
rourths Of an acre OF land, and capable,
says tho Boston Atlas, oil containing up
wards Of thirty nine thousand tons ott'e.
There is an immense tool house and
other buildings connected with The main
one, in which the whole apparatus oI
ice trade may be seen. Such is the
magnitude of this establishment that
