SrRINGFirtn, Jan. y, IS I,
-Hr. Editor: Il may not be unin,cr-
citing TO your readers to have brief
statement Of wha, is being done ia and
abJnt the seat Of government. The le-
gislaiure have done very Ii,lr, in which
the grea, mass of the people feel much
interested.
Mr.. Edwards introduced bill ma.
king an appropriation Of $50 Geo for the
completion Of the State House. Upon
The motion to engross the bill for a third
reading, a very animated, debate was
elected. Mr.. Caverly took grounds 4.
gainst the bill, and urged as an argument
in opposition to its passage. that the seal
of Government, would probably be re.
moved in a short time. Messrs. Dough
cr'y and McRobcrts supported the bill in
a W arm and energetic manner, and show
ed the folly of delering the 'appropria.
Ton. wien tie interest and character &c
tie State required that The Capiiol, should
BE- finished without further dcly.
| learn that several large claims for
work done under the old internal i'm
proyement system. have been preferred
against the State, and Ihat they will in
all pro liability he allowed. A single
claim, presented by Lyon and Howard
Of New York, amounts TO about sixty.
five thousand dollars. The claim Of
Michael Kennedy, for bonds and scrip
loaned Ia john y, Whi,cside while fund
Commissioned, has also been presented,
and ! am Informed will probably be al.
allowed. This viii be right. Justice
requires that Mr.. Kennedy should be
paid, when, as am Informed, the proof
shows clearly that lie loaned the bonds
to Whlieside, for the benefit of the state.
The claims against the state, which have
been presented, and which will in all
probability be allowed, will no, be less
than 500, 000-probably much more.
This is 10 he regretted, as our state
debt is already so onerous, tina, the pub
tic spin. and energies Of our state are
almost wholly paralyzed. Claims like
these, have been coming in, session after
session, for years, and the Legislature
should pass statute Of Limitation, bar.
ring these claims after a certain specified
period. Thi, is the only way by which
these old state claims can be at once
brought forward, and finally adjusted.
1t Is difficult to say who will succeed
in tie appointment Of Canal Trustees, II
has been suggested, that the Governor
will mos, probably select some one
whose name has not yet been mentioned
in connection with tie appointments
This would doubtless be a judicious
coursr, as he would thereby harmonize
all conflicting psrsors feelings.
"Tsmin,' the correspondent Of the
"Chiraeo Dsmocrt," has gone home :;
some other Parsonage will have to noun,

Great F2oOd -'rhe interior Of Ohio
and Indiana were visited, about the first
of this month, by one Of the creates,
floods ever known in those parts. Full
details Of its extent, and of its rayages,
have not yet reached us; but from the
imperfect accounts received, the deslruc-
ton Of properly must have been immense.
The Scioto river. on which the flourish.
ing cities Of Columbus and ChiIlicolha
are situated, seems especially to have
risen to an unprecedented heighi.-carry-
ing off bridges, mills, pork houses, sheep,
and various articles of produce, including
from one TO three million bushels Of In
dian corn. The National Road. vest Of
Columbus, was likewise greatly injured {;
and about, l,C00 miles of fencing are sup.
posed TO have been swept away. Much
damage has been also sustained on the
Miami and White rivers; the Miami and
" hite-waier Canals have been seriously
injured; and many Of the farms in the
bottoms are nearly, or quite ruined. No
estimate Of the total loss is, or can be,
given; but ii must be great, beyond all
former precedent. in that section Of the
country. and perhaps equal to that sus-
tanned by the memorable food in the
Mississippi in TIE sumner OF 1874.
