The Ohio Rebellion Arrested in the Bud.
| The threatened revolution" from the quar-
ter Of Columbus, has "iashed in the PAM" and,
SO far as legislation is concerned, all goes on in
due formal least in the usual form. 1t appeals
that the democratic senators absconded at too
late stage of the action had on the apportion-
ment bill, to defeat it from becoming law in
the shape it had been reported and SO far acted
upon In that shape the Senate passed the bill
| The House, too, passed it with additional
| amendments. It was when the question of
agreeing to the House amendmt nts was before
the Senate that the IS fifteen +" lett their seats
| Subsequently, the House receded from Its amend
| ments, which left the bill as the Senate and
| House had already passed it, and now needed
| only the signatures Of the speakers to make il
| law.
Il is true that something is still said abou,
| 'violatio1 OF rule" &c on the part Of the ma
ority and consequent threat OF resisting IN"
force of The law; that 1870 regarding It's provisions
| IN conducting the ensuing election. But ap
prehend that the late move towards rebellion
| the part OF the democratic senators, Will be so
little rel.shed by their constitute Is, as to induce
| the leaders TO forego any further attempt Of
| the kind.
The pretext on the part of the fifteen for re-
| sorting to such an extreme step to defeat the
bill, was because 1t provided that th's county
should be divided into two election districts; SO
| that one senator and two repre- entatves should
| be elected by the first eight wards OF the city.
and the other senator and remaining three rep
resentatives OF the county's " apportlonmenr'
should be chosen by the remaining wards OF the
city and the several townships of the county.
Such division the democrats claimed TO be un-
constitutional. Now, from the various opinions
have seen the subject, conclude that 1t is
clearly within the province of the Legislature TO
make such pr DIVISION. Aud let me here whis
| per to the reader that there is something else
| that troubles the two senators and tour represen-
| tatives now at Columbus I; some little party ar
! rangement, you know, That Is generally made
som where about the time OF the "conveutIon
for nomination." such as. :. You hip me TO
tails, and, next year, will help you to that"
| and such like This dividing the county throws
the members of the &c offce-hodng aud Office
| dispenslng' clique into good deal of q" cocKj
hat' position as regards their plans, heretofore
| matured. Most of them are In the city district
which has the fewest members, and the leas
chance for democrat to get elected. few are
| in the county district, wnere success Is more
certain but these lose the aid Of the city men,
bers of the clique IN managing the business 81
nomination and these arrangements, thus at
| fected, are not limited TO the Offices of senators
and representatives., but extend 10 all the county
| Offices.
| Never has there been such shipwreck OF
| party plans and purposes. ! doubt whether the
| wings dreamt OF this In their philosophy, when
In their tin. pan conclave they caucused this pro-
vision. But can assure them IN at no possible
|
| the hopes Of "promotion" OF some, and the ex
| pecaiion OF gettipga "turn," with others, as has
| this very move. No wonder that il was such
bitter pill TO the present delegation of this couaty
| On the other hand. however, let me tell the
| reader, too, that not u few OF quite prominent
| and influential democrats, both of the city and
IN the country, chuckle heartily over this snap
| ping OF the wires OF q certain clique within the
| party. II opens the door, you KNOW to form new
ciiQr es-Jne for the city, and one for the county ;
auo in the process, many latter themselves they
| too m " get q safe position.
I'VE on former occasion expressed regret
| in .ing compe lied TO report the baretac d, open
an avowed party legislation OF the General As
scmby of thus NOBLE Buckeye State. But how
can do otherwise, when | know the editor Of
the Herald desires TO have the truth presented to
his readers, and when find nothing bu, party
| action to report Let the people correct the evil
