Nothing Of importance was trans
acted in the Senate, except the RECEIPT.
ion of the Auditor Of States reply in
answer to the resolution of Mr.. Edger.
ton, asking for information in reference to
moneys borrowed, &c. The Auditor
replies, that he knows nothing about it.
The law that re, organized the Board OF
Fund Commissioners, says, that the act
ing commissioner shall keep accounts
and records with the Auditor Of State.
If the Fund Commissioner has neglect>
ed to do this, the Auditor is not to
blame. Let the resolution be amend
ed, so as to call upon the acting COM
missioner.
In the House, the bill to change the
charter Of Cincinnati, and the mode OF
appointing magistrates, consumed the
principal part Of the morning. In the
afternoon, Mr.. Olds introduced res
olu,ion to print three thousand copies
of the majority and minority reports
on the Mongan County contested elec-
ton. But The wings voted down the
resolution; and Mr.. Mason; the author
of the majority report, voted against
printing. We are not sure, il we had
been in his place, but that we would
have dene SO also; and we would advise
him to get law passed, making it a
pen,tsntiary offence for any newspaper
to publish them both. Never do we
recollect of hearing such an entire an.
inhalation of a great man, as in this
case. The wings would gladly smoth'
or this matter.
Mr.. Kelley's ad valorem tax resolu-
&ion was also before the House. Mr..
Cowen, occupied nearly the whole
time, in labored effort against it, at
the same time taking ground against
the taxing Of bank capital. This. bill
promises to be troublesome bone 70
the wings. Well, it is family quarrel;
they must settle it among themselves.
The people of Ohio are tired Of seeing
their taxes increased every year, while
the very men that tax them, contend
against taxing bankers upon their capi-
tel.
s FRIDAY, Dec. 10.
No business Of note was transacted
in the Senate to day.
In the House, the committee 10 whom
was referred the resolution of Mr.. Olds,
calling upon the banks for certain in
formation in reference to bills of ex-
change, &C.. was reported back, with
a proposition TO strike out the word
required and insert requested" This
amendment met with strong opposition
from the democrats, and was sustained
by the whigs.-Statesman.
