Mr.. EDIroR:-I see that the select committee
on that subject have reported adversely to the
removal Of the county seat OF Perry from Somer-
set Although not precisely at the geographical
centre of the county the reasons given against
this change seem unanswerable. The town Of
Somerset has (addlng interest,) contributed Sl7,'
900 for the erection Of the public buildings, and
is the tost thriving town in The vicinity Of the
centre of tile county. Unless very good reasons
indeed can be assigned these changes OF coun-
ty seats ought not to be made.
The hew county of Fulton which has been e:
rected, ia III the very northwest corner oi the
State 1t Is said that The distance of part t the
territory of thiA cotntS from the county seat of
Lucas to which it was dttaclitd wis fifty miles.
The county oil Chester has been thrown over
board. This increases the chances for Elk
Elk, Noble and Walhonding will probably get
through safely. Noble is made up from Morgan.
Monroe, Guernsey and Washington, and besides
being Symmetrical! in shape itself leaves the ad-
jacent counties in good shape. Walhonding is
in the vicinity Of the Walhondiug canal and
trenches OH the eastern side Of Knox and the
counties adjoining Kuox east. Elk has been pre-
viously noticed. The county of National will
never be made. Mr.. Whitman (who is in feeble
health and not able to be mich in his seat) pre-.
sented petition against it today from your coun.
ty.

1t aulho izes Fairfield to subscribe 100000
without being clogsed with the condition of The
previous bill about majority of the votes cns
for the Governor. Unless you act promptly ii
Fairfield, there is danger that the SciotO counlie
will be diverted frohi the support of the road, |
is further provided, that the whole connty sub
scription be expended within the county, ant
that the Commissioners shall hot make it, unles
they are satisfied That sufficient stock has beer
taken TO finish the road.
A charter for Turnpike road betweeit Royal
ton and CrcleviIle has passed both branches and

Both brdnttGs arj working diligently and in.

There is Bank aud Anti Bank Democracy
in both Senate and House. This is strange a

nevertheless true. Among the bank men, | may
rame Messrs. Blocksom of THE Senate and Dalzel

ed The Senate, and will doubtless receive the
sanction of the House. 1t was warmly discuss
ed there to-day. ...
Niessrs. StauJery and Graham the Wing no
inees of Franklin county for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention are growing in the
public esteem daily. No doubt is felt OF theil
election. 1t is said that Judge Joseph R. Swan
will be run by the democrats against MIR. Stan
berry. Judge Swan will receive the support o
the Free Soil faction. He is an excellent man
and not much of politician. He voted for Van
Buren and Adams. .....
The floods have subsidized again. trun pass
