hIr. Knapp,s Protest.

Mr.. Knapp has just returned from Columbu.
aud has handed US the following note in relatio
to the protest presented by him to the Legislature
in relation to the Holbrook investigation. Th
want of courtesy and fairness on the part Of tn
House, complained Of by Mr.. Knapp, was doubl
less part Of the jesting with character and ntes
rity, familiar to that body:
KAIIpA, March 4, 1916.
To the Editor Of the Venture:
On Friday last, in accordance with pre-
vious notice, presented Protest agains
the mock investigation, and exparte repor
of the select committee appointed by th
House to investigate the charge Of breac
of privilege preferred by me against Geo. W
Holbrook, and the action of the Hous
thereon.
On Saturday last Mr.. Phelps, chairma
of said committee, asked leave to make
reply TO the protest, and enter it upon tn
journal. This leave was granted with m
express oncurrence-and on Monday morn
ing, just as the Legislature was on the ev,
of adjournment, the reply was offered AM
read to the House. This reply is worth
ofthe chairman of the committee who con
Quoted this investigation" and made tn,
report against which myself and others pro
tested.
Immediately after the reading ofthc paper
| asked leave to make rejoinder and ente
it upon the journal;-but this request was We
hemently objected to by the chairman of the
committee, and voted down by the House
Although denied the privilege Of placing an
exposition of the Misrepresentation con
tanned in this reply upon the journals of the
House, shall embrace an early opportunity
after the publication of the journals and doc.
uments ofthe House, TO review the doings
of this committee-or rather of lis chairman
and obtain hearing upon the journals
ofthe PEOPLE.
Respectfully yours,
H. S. KNAPP.

New COUNTY OF AUGLAIzE.--This mea-
sure which was conceived to serve the selfish
interests of few individuals at Waupauko-
Meta, at the expense of the great body of
the people Of this and other counties, was in
the Senate, on Saturday last, unanimously
postponed till next December, never it is to
be hoped TO be revived. Incidents in the
history of this measure have taken place
which stamp its projectors with infamy.-
Bribery has been attempted, and may have
been successful, for the vascillation upon
this measure displayed BY the votes of many
members of the Legislature, can scarcely be
accounted for by any reference to the laws
which govern honest changes of opinion.
We have seen The grave question Of a
seriously preferred bribe refused investiga-
ton and the Infamous crime treated US q
mere matter Of jest by those appointed TO
investigate it-and on the heels of this trifing
with the honor and purity of the legislation
of the State, members who had in some in
stances twice given theif votes againstit,with-
out the slightest new evidence, changed these
votes in its favor Parcher, of Lucas, Bell, of
Sandusky, Chandler, Of Morgan, Cockerel,
of Adams, Foust, of Fairfield, Trimble, Of
Muskingum, and Upton of Guernsey, on
the 3lst Of January voted against the pas
sage of tho bill. On the 18th of February
they voted for it. What new light had they
received? We do not say that Holbrook's
"iokes" influenced them, for we do not think
that they required high bids. Perhaps the
suppers he gave overcome their scruples and
made wrong appear right. We are little skill
ed in the practical workings oflegislation, bu
in this transaction we in vain look for evidence
of that sense of their high trust which shoule
guide the actions of honorable men charged
with the welfare of the State. We rather
see men Indifferent to all but the most sell
fish interests, ready to sacrifice duty at any
moment, TO propitiate the friends of any
scheme, however villanious, which has
advocates who understand how to bestow
fattery and favors literally.
Though this measure was not wholly car
ried out by Wings, yet it is circumstance
worthy Of observation, that these new county
schemes are seldom or never successful
when the Democracy hold majority in the
Legislature. During the past ten year!
but one w'county has, 10 our recollection
been created when the Democrats held pow
er, and some seven or eight have been Great
ed by our opponents during the same time
This is natural. Democracy does not legis-
late for special interests; while the existenc'
of Whiggery depends upon its fostering tn
host of unjust and partial interests that lin
its cohorts together.

Aand daIlies with us, when she has such a
buffoon to deal with?"
When the Federal Massachusetts, Legislature
assembled to oppose the war, preliminary to the
Hartford Convention, Benjamin Russell exclaimed
in his Cennal;
"All the branches contain majorites of the
friends of peace, and whatever can be done
to restore their country TO its lost prosperity
will be attempted d."-Boston Centinal, May
|26.
Peace is the cry now as them friendship to
England at the sacrifice Of our rights is still the
watchword. And as imbecili,y was then charged
upon Madison n-leading him into war; humbug
and deception to raise "hubbub" is now
charged upon Polk. The sentiment and the spi-
rit are still the same. Do the people care nothing
about Oregon! are they Indifferent to its possess
ion? Would they willingly SEQ it yielded rather
than encounter the anger of England? This may
do for Wing leaders to assert, but it shows that
they know nothing of the patriotism Of the great
body Of their countrymen. 1t is ours, and lei
England storm and threaten as che may, we will
have it. Its territory will ye, hold millions Of
American freemen, who will reap its wealth, and
send their thousand sails bearing the starry ban.
ner of liberty to gather the wealth Of the Pacific
ocean and pour it forth on OUR land. Let the
Wing journals continue to rail at Mr.. Polk for To-
boring to accomplish this design: the onward
progress Of fourrepublican destiny will soon sweep
into oblivion their cavils and their opposition.

close on Monday afternoon, and resulted in
verdict Of guilty. Madame Costello was

The ABoLrrroNrsrs.-The great body of the
Abolitonists throughout the State, aided to els-'
vate the wings to power. Giddings, Perkins.
Bebb, and host of others, owe what little Of no.
toriety they have obtained to their sympathy for
the unfortunate condition of the blacks. Yet
what has been their course now they have OBJ
tanned power? Have they honestly sought to re-
lieve the disabilities under which the blacks Ia.
Dor in Ohio? Or do they not rather desire them
to continue as theme for defamation and q
stepping-stool to Office! Deceitful as the tabled
fruit on the shores of the Dead Sea, is the Whig
realization Of relief. They have the power,
but not the will--and have quietly killed the
matter for another year. Yet this will not open
the eyes of abolitionists. Men who voted for
Henry Clay as friend of black freedom, Tor per.
haps any other,) have nothing to learn from their
experience of repeated falsehood.

THnTAx BILL passed the House last night

THETAx BILL passed the House last night,
and only awaits the concurrence of the
Senate on the one hundred and ticenty House
amendments, TO become law. 1t was
passed at midnight fit hour for the con-
summation Of the most monstrous scheme
Of taxation that villainy ever devised, OF
stupidity sanctioned. A compromise was
effected with Mr.. Ball, whose influence wa:
greatly dreaded, and that gen'leman's vote
stands recorded in its favor. But three
wings voted against it.
Mr.. Speaker Drake, the peculiar represen
lative of the bankers, modestly intimated Il
Mr.. Olds, because. that gentleman had thu
temerity to offer an amendment, that he
might as well offer all his amendments toge
ther, to be dispatched at once. Such IN

WEDDING OF WHITE MAN TO NEGRO
LADY I'M NEW ORLEANs.-There has been
quite stir recently in New Orleans, in con
sequence Of marriage Of a white man nam
ed Buddington, Teller in the Canal Bank
10 the negro daughter Of one of the wealth.,
est merchsats. Buddington before he could
be married, was obliged to swear that he
had negro blood in his veins, and to do this
he made an imcision in his arm and put
some Of her blood in the cut. The ceremo.
uy was performed by Catholic clergyman,
and the bridegroom has received with his
wife fortune of fifty or sixty thousand dol
lars. The Natipes serenaded hins with such
abominahIe music, that to get rid oftheir
discord he paid them $500 to be used for
charitable purposes.
The contrivancs to get negro blood into
the br;degroom's veins, was certainly ingenl,,
ious; but Il was much easier than toget 1t all
out Of the BRIDES.

How they care for our intsrestsl

Mt Knapp's Land Bill has been defeated in the
House of Representatives. IL there ever was .
measure Of public necessity it was this. Our
public lands are estimated atpriess which are and
have been for years virtual prohibition ofthsir
settlement. We have patiently endured bad reads!
the discomforts of the wilderness around a., de-.
fective education and retarded civilization, here
in the bear Of surrounding improvement, aud We
have asked from the selfish speculating spirit Of
legislation some shadow of justice, but in vain.
The men whom the people send to Columbus
have treated our petitions for more equitable and
reasonable system with contempt and indifference.
They care not how far the farmer is from good
markets-=nor how hard he has to toll in unfolding
the wealth of the state. They utterly refuse 10
attend 10 his interests. Nevertheless partzan feel
ings will not!always be an excuse for the negli.
gencc and indifference with which we are
treated II Nj. Knapp's Bill was not just what
was necessary or fitting in the eyes of the Whig
legislators, this is no excuse for doing nothing
at ALL Nor will their hatred of our democracy
justify their conduct. If this district gave whig
majority their leaders would not dare be 80 cal
lows to our welfare. But for time we must
be punished because We think and act freely
because we are radically democratic, and prize
our equality and independence infinitely beyond
the bribes of spectators and the whitening blight
of bank favors. Let US tell these short sighted
little politicians that the time is coming when We
will make them repent that they have not done Us
justice. The Augean stable of Impurities which
annually gathers at Columbus will yet be cleans
ed. The Hercuean strength Of the people will
drive into deserved retirement the imbecilss
who disgrace the state by their''mssrabls inca
pacity to promote. its prosperity.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-Ths is most emphatically the
age of Improvement. We need look no farther than
to the operations of our city council to be convinced
of this fact Our streets are well improved that
they have suspended operations on them and have
commenced grading and gravelng alleys. five
to Judge of the condition of our Treasury by the
operations Of cur common council, we should suppose
it was about overflow and inundate the town, but
such presume is not the fact. If any one was to
pass along almost any of principal streets during
a muddy time in winter, and should know that our
council had just expended hundred or two dol
lars on alley, the length of two squares, pre-
sumo they would think that honorable councilmen
either knaves fools. have doubt but
that the alley upon which this money has been APP
proprated will be in condition after the work
has been done than it has been for years. When viii
we have the money which our honest citizens pay
into the treasury expended in judIcious manner!
think if there is money enough in the treasury to
grade and gravel alleys, that it had much better be ap-
propriated TO gravelling some of our streets.
