and while paying little too much attention
to the speaking the work was somewhat neg
lected. But this always will be the case in
delibentive bodies. Two or three men in a
hundred can at any time be found who think
they are wiser than all the rest, and have a
peculiar love for the music of their own
sweet voices.
VMost of the forenoon session to-day was
occupied in discussing the propriety of Sc
curing to the State the copyright to publish,
in book form, the proceedings and debates Of
the conve ntion; and when al! became tired
of the matter, it was laid on the table with
the understanding that it should stay there.
Mr.. Holmes offered a resolution calling
on the Secretary for certain information
concerning the enumeration Of white male
inhabitants above the age Of 81 years, in
achcounty, townshipand ward in the State
for the years 1889, lS43 and al, and also
the total population as shown by tho CEN
sus of lS40, which was adopted. Mr..
Holmes is chairman of the committee on
-apportionment. Fss $50
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Ran
ney, instrucling the committee on the
Legislative department toinquire into the
expediency of requiring the yeas and nays
to be taken and recorded on the final pas.
sage of all bills and resolutions by the
Legislature, which was referred to that
committee.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. VIII.
liams, declaring it expedient to elect all
State, county and township officers by the
people, which was referred to the commit.
ttee on the Legislative departments.
The balance Of the forenoon, and the
whole Of the afternoon was consumed dis
cussing the report Of committee appoint.
ed some days since, to consider how full
the debates shall be reported, what number
Of volumes shall be published, &c. twas
finally agreed that three thousand copies
should be published, under sanction of the
convention, for the use Of the State, to be
distributed in every county and township,t it
being understood at the same time that the
copyright will be secured to the Slate,
and that the publishers Of the Statesman
and Journal, and everybody else who may
see fit, shall publish and sell any number
they please on their own private accounts.

Grand river is some so miles from Buffalo,

was caused by sheer carclessness, The

the course of the Dispatch. Such reck-

Railroad! Railroad!


The very favorable verbal report of our
able engineer, Mr.. Webb, has satisfied the
Directors of the "Scioto g. H. V. Rail-
road" that the route by way Of Jackson
county, is far more favorable than they bod
dared to hope for. That, in fact, as far as
the ncighborhood Of Scioto Furnace, which
includes the part they most dreaded, it is
q better route than the one up the valley
of the Big Scioto. The undersigned Di-
rectors, therefore, in consideration of this
assurance, and in the further considera-
ton Of The vast creation Of business which
that route promises over any other-feel
justified ip saying, as they hereby do, that
Mey wiU neper consent TO locate the road
in any other direction until all efforts hare
failed, and all hopes lost, Of raising the
means to take it by way Of Jackson coun-
ty.
The Directors, however, would not dis
guise the fact, that 10 enable them TO do
SO, the route being some fourteen miles
longer, they will have to rely upon liberal
subscriptions by the owners Of Furnaces
and Furnace lands, and by the county Of
jackson, as we'll as the county Of Scioto.
And they add, in conclusion, that they
will not permit themselves to doubt TINT
the necessary aid will be afforded, BY
people so deeply interested.
