From the Ohio Statesman, Dec. 18th.
On Thursday last, the Senate passet
the joint resolution in referance to the
State Printing; thus has their hypocrit
ical pretenlions Of economy oflast win
ter been exposed by their own action
after having voted down every propo-
sition for economy, they having given
the printing to the Journal, at their
own proposition, and the very object
they professed to have in view, has
been defeated, that Of making the print.
ing matter of competition. 1t was Of
fered 10 no one else, but the Journal.
On Friday. Mr.. 4Edgerton offered q
resolution calling upon the State Audi
tor, for certain information in regard tc
the monies borrowed for The State. -
This move created some squirming a
mong the wings, and may bring to
light some rich things.
From the writhring of Coombs, we
should judge that we had succeeded in
raising the lint upon the leetIe man.
We would advise him to keep easy,
we are not half done yet. The pitiiul
demagogueism Of this man, in regard to
the subject of printing, for some years,
shall be exposed: and lift galds him, lei,
him vince.
The House passed the printing reso.
luton also, and the soreness Of the whig
members on this subject, was percepta-
bic from their uneasiness, while the
democrats were exposing their hypo.
critical cant about economy.
They had also, under consideration,
the bill Of DR.. Ods, to repeal the regis.
try law, and it was voted down by the
whig members, some six wings voting
with the democrats.

The Senate was engaged the prirci.
pal part of the morning in considering
The bill, reported by the currency com
mittee. prohibiting the circulation of un.
bank paper Of sother states,
BY persons, bodies polite or corporate,'
under a penalty Of 'one fourth the a.
mount OF the notes thus brought into the
State. Thus has been commenced the
work of patching the bank law Of last
winter, which was then pronounced a
perfect piece Of financial ingenuity.
This move, to prohibit the circulation
If foreign bank paper, is a direct stab
1t the local banks of other States. 1t
shows that the bankers Of Ohio have
no confidence in the honesty ofeastern
bankers, while, at the same time, the
wings allow the bankers OF this state
10 issue paper for home circulation
upon the mere certificate of these men,
that they Qhe bankers Of Ohio) have a
deposite in New Yolk,-and this Mr..
Kelley calls legitimate capital for pa.
per circulation for Ohio! This will
create a war among the money ma.
kers' Of the different states. We hope
% see it carried out. When bankers
begin to repudiate each others paper,
he people had better keep hands off.
The Senate would not have understood
the question fairly, ifit had not been for
Mr.. Eckley, whose ideas on matters.
generally, are very bright and ualuable.
He elucidated the matter in manner
perfectly satisfactory to himself but an
ordinary man could not tell what he
was aiming at. He is a brilliant man.
He also stated, in the course of his re-
marks, that the President had appoint.
ed Moses Y. Beach TO consuIship.
We should like to know where Mr.. E.
got his information, or did he make it
without any authority, as whig state.
menls are generally made7 We have
not seen or heard Of any such appoint
ment. The idea Of a man like Beach,
who has the privilege of swindIing
lhe people OF Ohio out of thousands un-
der Kelley's bank law,--leaving this
country as a consul, is ridiculous. Wei
should like to know where Mr.. E. gets
his information.
No business ofimportance was trans
acted in the House, except that Mr..
Gallagher introduced resolution TO
stop the employment of convicts 10
trades. This is matter
which has elected some debate, and
which VIC hope 10 see met and settled.
