The convention is now at the close Of the fifth
week Of the session. and yet little progress has
been made in the discharge Of the duties ineum-
bent upon il, that IL is scarcely possible to fix upon
any measure that has been definitely settled, ex-
cept that perhaps, OF biennial sessions ofthe Gene
raj Assembly. The Offices Of the State will be
filled by popular elections, almost without an ex
ccption, and revision Of some kind will be made
in the judiciary system; but 10 what extent does
not a. yet appear No discussion has as yet taken
place Of the question OF negro suffrage, and from
present appearances, Il seems doubtful whether
any very extended one will IL il does, the con-
vention will never adjourn. The report OF the
legislative Committee is the only one that has
passed through Committee Of the Whole, and
even that passage the greatest Innovations were
informally passed. to be discussed at other times.
and when cognate questions shall arise In their
order.
A biennid Legislature, with its Senators and
represented bionnially the addition of Lieute
nant Governor to our system the election OF al
the executive, judicial and other officers Of th-
State by the pceFle the reduction Of the tenure oi
Office 10 the shortest possible me-conferring upon
the legislature the power TO repeal bank charters
and other corporate priveQes--these are the pnnci-
pal subjects Of discussion that seem likely TO be
adopted, though there Is scarcely provision n ouI
present organic law that will not be sought TO be
amended. Yours, OHIo.
