Legislature.

In the Senate, there has been nothing
OF general interest, except the passage
Of the state house bill. The Senators
themselves have become so disgusted
with this everlasting twaddle of some Of
their number, that in their disgust, they
have gone 10 the other extreme, and de-
clared yesterday that hereafter none shall
speak more than fifteen minutes on one
subject.
The House is engaged in the consider.
alton of the tax bill. Sundry unimpor-
tant amendments have been made, not
affecting the general principle ofthe bill.
1t will probably pass with very slight a.
mendments.
This morning the members Of the
House have been engaged in very ami.
mated discussion upon the resolution for
he apprehension Of George W. Holbrook,
lobby Cor the new county of Auglaize,
for shamelessly attempting to bride MIR
Knapp, the member from Putnam, into a
support of his project. Truly, the un.
blushing impudence Of these lobbies is
unparalleled. The attempt to bribe an
honorable representative cannot be too
severely reproved.--Ohio Press. FEB. Is,

when the allies were repulsed, and com.
PEELED to retire The French retreated

Then look once more and try to speak;
And then speak outfit speak you must
Hopes strength will fail and leave you weak.

What courage had not tongue to tell

You'll go, and leave warm adicu-

Jack Carter he took to the saw;
To pluck and to pillagc, that same little VILLAGE
Joe Pettifog took to the law.

As sharp as a weasel for rats,
Till what with their saw dust and what with tbci

They blinded the eyes OF the flats
Jack brought to the people bill for the steeple,
They declared they wouldn't be bit;
But out of saw pit, into a law pit,
Jack tickled them up with writ.
