SCENES IN OHIO.

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania gives The fol.
lowing as the latest and most authentic intelli-
gence from The Legislature of Ohio:
c. LUMBus, Ohio Dec. 10.
In The Senate, today, an animated and most
interesting debate arose on resolution offered by
Mr. Archibald ins'rucins the Committee on the
Judiciary 10 inquire into The conslltutionalily 10
the laws authorizing The auditor OF the Stale Of
levy taxes
Mr. Goddard moved 10 amen Inc resolution
by adding !leicnnto as follows:
Sand also % inquire into he cons,itu,onaily
Of The laws authorizing he county or township
cifi.,r, 10 Ivy local taxes"
This amendment was agreed 10.
TIE resolution, as amended, was then opposed
by N.ssrs. q ,ddard AMI Backus, and supported
by Messrs. Archibald and Whitman.
A very gratifying feature which characterized
this deba!e, was The entire unanimiy which WAS
exhibited by the Democratic speakers, in dis
claiming any desire or intention 10 rcpudia'e the
miaulesl portion of the Stale debt.
The Senate adjourned without any ultimate
action on the pending resolutions.
In III HousS nohins was effected. IL IS ex
treme!y doubtful whether there will De any or
ganizaion at all and the people of The Stale be-
GIN q reear TIE result as mater OF very illle
