OHIO LEeIsLATURE.

I =.
Most Of the time of the two HOUSES,
since the commenselneutof the session,
appears 10 have been occupied ia consid-
ering The subject Of retrenckment; but
whether their deliberations. will result in |
the passage of any bill on the subject,
seems doubtful. That thers might rea-
sonably be a red ducliOn in some branchs
es Of ihs public expenditures, u.s.. gsner
ally admitted; but theIs exists, oboihin
and opi Ofihe Legislatnre, a great diver
sIly ofopinion as 10 where and in what
manner the pruning hook should be ap
piled: and this diversity will probably
make ii difficult for the Legislature TO
agree sufficiently TO enact any retrench'
mentllaw at this session. e OH e, g"
