Ohio-The Yawnins Gulf.

By the following Certificate and caveat. II will
be seen that the Clerk Of Hamilton County, Ohio,
has not ooncurred with the Returning Justices IN
certifying the election Of Messrs. Spencer and
Runyan, Wing Representatives, from Cincinnati
District, but hs. appended protest, coolly as
,uming that the Apportionment Law is his
opinion unconstitutional Wherefore he thinks
the two Loco Foco candidates voted for also by
some 500 voters in the other District OF Hamilton
County are entitled to the seats. We presume they
will attempt TO take them, and that anarchy and
collision will ensue.
The Wings are most unluoky in the Ohio legis-
lstive returns They lose several members by
very close votes Free Sellers goused them out
Of q Senator in the Summit District a Repre-
sentative in Medina County their Member from
Clinton County has his seat contested on the
ground OF inegbiity and their Member from
Portage, though he has 81 mojority on the popular
vote, has lost the return through nformaity and a
koco-Foco will be in the seat at the organization
