Fifth Week of the Session.

Five weeks of the session of the Ohio
Legislature have past, and the feeling
which prompted the strong and disgrace
full proceedings in the House during the
first three weeks, are still perceptible in
the dogged pertinaclty with which The fed
eral party strive to stavo off business.-
They conceive the whole business Of the
Legislature to consist in bargaining for of:
fee, for power and extended rule, and be-
yond good bargain to be made they can
see nothing. True, there nre exceptions
10 this rule, rs there are 10 all others, and
that exception is in n scion Of the Hart
ford Convention federalism in the Senate,
whose dis.empered vision sees the editor of
the Statesman in everything going on. In
his dreams, we must appear as nightmare
so frightlul, that we occupy all his day
thoughts. A proposition to name Mr;
Garrard the printer to the Senate, reused
him and he detained the Senate till long
afler dark, in denouncing us-a PROPOSE,
ton to print Gov Bebb's Message, lashed
him into furv, and thus he goes, the editor
of the Statesman his eternal song. Poor
fellow, had he ever had brains, we would
have thought he had lost his reason.
In both branches bills are introduced,
and if whiggery continues not its draw:
hack. the business Of the session at the end
of this, its fifth week, may be said to have
commenced. So far the business transact.
ed is Of but little consequence to the gene

ral reader. What another week may bring
forward we know not.
!. The d sorganizing position Of federal
members assumed al the commencement OF
of the session, led to all the waste of time
and Of the money of she people. That
has not yet and cannot we'll be righted. 1t
lessened the respect of the people for the
aw-making power, and in the same ratio
lessened their respect for the laws. The
whole effort was to grasp power-to set a.
side the verdict OF the people and to retain
it, through all time in defiance Of the pop
ular will cons,tu,ionally expressed, and
we fear that until new constitution plac-
es it out Of the power Of the federal leaders
to reenact their patricidal course, tha, no
Legislature, refecting the popular will,
can meet, without a re-enactment Of the
scenes ofthe first three or -four weeks o.
the present Legislature.-Statesn,an.

Buffalo, Jan. SO A. M.

Between - and one o'clock this morn
ing, fire broke out in the Brewery owned
BY VIM. Taylor, foot of Geaesee St. front
ing the canal. The wind was blowing a
gale at the time and weather piercing cold.
The Brewery was soon enyeloped IN hames,
and the fire communicated to the Soap Fac
tory of Gilbert & Co. which in short time
was entirely consumed. The Brewery and
contents were Destroyed The fire then ex-
tended eastward towards thesTerrace, COM
municafing with row of wooden dwellings.
The flames spread with fearful rapidity I'M
til some Is or 90 buildings were laid in
ruins. Thee was great difficulty in OBJ
taiaing supply of water as it had been
dawn off from the Canal. More than %
families were thurst into the biting wind,
thinly clad and homeless. 1t was impossi-
bic to ascertain on the spot, at this late hour
Of the night, the amount of the loss of prop
erty but it cannot be very small one at
least. .-Clere. Herald.

rThe ashland Democrat comes TO u

~Ths ASHLAND Democrat comes to US
this week much enlarged and improved and
bearing the new name of @Ohio Union." !"
The editor. gives as a reason for changing
it's name that the title "Democrat" "for a
newspaper has become so hackneyed and
universal, that it has lost all distinctive iden-
tity. Something like the name Of Smith,
worn by persons, it means nobody or every
body, just as thee may please " We
trust the Democrats of Ashland county will
give the @Union' a good support. There
are many people who think that because
paper is printed in the same county in
which they reside, it is not worth read
ing, let alone subscribing and paying for it.
Now, this is all wrong. Let every person,
and especially every Democrat, subscribe
and PAY fer his own county paper, and
thereby assist in supporting the Publishers
who are laboring day and night to build
upon firm basis their county paper, and
advance and promote the happiness of its
| people.

OUI0 LEGISLATURE.

| We compile from the Legislative
Reports Of the Oh,o Statesman the fol
lowing account Of the proceedings in the
Legislature, upon counting the votes fo'
| Govern, both Houses having passed
| Joint resolution for the same:
| HOUSE OF REPRE- >ENrATiVES.
Columbus Jan. 8
The Senators entered the chamber, ane
the two Houses proceeded to open ane
publish the votes for Governor.
When the vote of Ash,abula county was
announced, Mr. Whitman OF the Senate
said that there were mistakes III the loot
ings in some places, which should be cor
rected. He moved the appointment OF
Joint selec: committee, to examine and cor
rect the returns.
Mr..Goddard of the Senate thought the
motion out of order.
The speaker Of the Senate, SO. decided:
MIR. Archbold wished to know how mis-
takes could be corrected, unless gentlemen
were gifted with omniscience, how coule
The mistake be ascertained and corrected
in the moment that the speaker was an
nouncing the vote Of the county.
MIR. Whitman thought if his motion
was out Of order, he would raise question
OF order whether the speaker was no
bound to read the vote Of each township ir
the State, and let them be footed up as they
went along.
Mr.. Goddard thought they need no
look further than the certificate at the
bottom Of the paper.
Mr.. Whitman knew that in Massachu
sets, when Marcus Morton was elected
Governor by one vote, the whole votes o
the State were counted over six times. -
He did not appeal from the decision of the
chair, but raised the point of order, wheth
er the speaker was not bound to read the
votes by townships.
Mr.. Riddle thought the count might &c
on in the usual manner, until some county
was reached which was known to be in
correct, when the speaker might correct i
at once.
Mr.. Backus sus stained Mr.. Whitman.he
thought the duty of the speaker was te
open the abstract, and declare the number
of votes in the several election dictricts
but the duty Of the House, was to ascertain
from the votes who is elected Governor
they had therefore the right to appoint 6
committee to ascertain who had the ma
jority of votes.
MIR. Goddard suggested that the speaker
proceed as he began, and that then com
mittee should be appointed to investigate
the returns.
Mr.. Whitman-The speaker will no
announce the number of votes, until tha
committee reportsa a.
Mr.. Goddard-Certainly.
MIR. Riddle thought that tho cohnmIttse
might be appointed.
Mr.. Whitman, under his oath, coult
not sit here and SCI not the returns but the
footings Of the returns. He thought it tht
best suggestion that an informal committee
should be appointed to assist the speaker
and let him announce the aggregate result
when that committee reported 10 him.
The debate was continued at some length
Mir, Letter moved that the convention
take recess until three o'clock, Carried
Mr.. Olds moved the House take recess
till three O'Clock. Agreed to.

AFTERNOON SEssIoN.-The hour having
the two Houses stood, adjourned
A motion was made for Senators to re-
pair 10 the Hall OF the House 1t was dis
cussed at some length, on which it was
finally agreed, sha. the speaker should
read the foo;ings Of the abstracts, but before
the result should be proclaimed, the speak
er should call to his assistance such CON-
mittee, TO consist of members of each
branch, as might be necessary, and before
proclaiming the result, the said commit
tee should add up the result in the re-
turns claimed to be erroneous.
The Senators then repaired to the Hall
of the House.
Immediately after their arrival,
The Senate adjourned.

GFThe editor of the Lexington Atlas,
remarkingupon the prediction of some wealth

attainmeats in the fixed science of weather.

1--WE have studied wind theories, cloud
theories, rain theories, snow theories, and
warm and cold theories, for thirty years
and all that we have yet learned is, that ii
rains great deal more,in wet weather than
it does in dry weather; and that We have

o. Our adyices from Columbus are ap
to Friday evening last. at which time the
question, Twho is elected GOVERNOR was still
undecided, and the prospect is that it will so
remain for time; at least until the fact can
be fairly and honestly ascertained. Until
then, Gov. Bebb will continue in Office, and
that will be hard dose for .whiggery, for
he has shown such evident signs of progress
sion in recommending revision Of the con-
stitution, and the election of all officers by
the people, that his party friends in the Sen
ate refused to Fay him the poor compliment
Of ordering his last annual Message tc be
printed. Should he continue to give like
evidence of improvement, the democrats will
proba bly, be able to endure him yet little
longer.
