j FoRD-ing THE WHIe CAND1DATE.-
Nothing could have resulted more to the
hand Of Col. Weller than the nomination
Of Seabury Ford. He is not the first ford
the gallant Colonel has passed in his time.
Being western man, be is used TO such
Jobs and they give him but little trouble
Even in the streets of Monterey, he had
some experiences in these matters, and was
the first man to ford the big ditch intended
to stop the advance Of our troops. The
whole name OF the whig candidate appears
rather Indicative of his defeat and the pain
full duty which will devolve on Weller to
see bury Ford. Patriot. p .2syssH

The legislature.

The Senate was occupied during the
whole of its yesterday afternoon session, in
the consideration OF most outrageous at.
tack, made by E. Burke Fisher upon Mr..
Burns, the Senator from Richland, Mr. B.
had, in his speech against the new county
of Morrow, spoken very severely of the
hired lo5y-m. .,nJers, as they are called, who
are always using every devisable means to
4arocuae the passage of local bills by the
Assembly. And among others he had oc-
casion to expose certain copying clerk
OF the House Of Representatives from Guy
ahoga, no other than Fisher. So during
the recess few minutes after, Fisher fol-
lowed him into the Senate Chamber and
begun series of the most gross and insul-
ting expressions, apparently for the purpose
of producing fight. Failing in this, as
Mr. B. took but little notice OF him, he be-
gan to threaten, swore that he would knock
Burns brains out, if he did not desist from
the course he had commenced in his NOR
ning's speech. Still the Senator gave little
heed to his rawlings. There were but three
or four persons present at the time.
On the meeting OF the Senate however
! Mr. Burns laid the matter before that BODY
A resolution was adopted for the arrest OF
Fisher by vote of22 to II. He was &c.
cordingly brought to the bar Of the Senate,
when resolution was Immediately offered
for his Dismissal; and after several hours
discussion, this was carried by a strict par
ty vote. -
The conduct of those wings, who upon
Mr. Burns statement, voted for the arrest,
ina then instantly for the dismmissal, ap'
pears, if possible, worse than the conduct
Of the man they pretended to try. Wheth.
er they had the legal power to arrest, OF
hot, their vacillnting action can have nc
other effect than to bring the Senate ol
Ohio into contempt.
sL.S-W We trust that the people of Ohio viii
ascribe such affairs us this to their true
cause-too much special legislation; which
always has and will breed corruption,
The Senate passed the apportionmeni
bill this morning. Mr.. Ewing, Mr.. Reem'
elm, and Mr.. Olds. all denounced the whis
operation of dividing Hamilton county
Never was there more scandalous usurp
alton. of power for party purposes, unless
it was in the case of the two townships at

REMARKS.
The seventh district which now gives, accord
ing to the Times, majority of 500 fer Taylor, is
the one formerly represented by Mr.. Wise, who
is on the Cass and Butler electoral ticket, and
took the stump tor them. The district elected
Bayly, democrat, to Congress last year, by 2i0
majority. In 1910 1t gave : majority OF ,522 for
Harrison, and in 1874 MIR. Clay's majority in the
district was AL.
The ten districts East of the mountains, give
Gen. Taylor majority of $50. In 1874, Folks
majority in the same districts was 497-showing
a gam for Gen. Taylor IN the Eastern section of
the State Of 2,057.. His gains at the West are in
a much greater ratio.
According to the most accurate returns that we
are now in possession Of net gain Is 500l. Ne
