CoLUMBvs, Jan. 2S.
Mr.. EDrTOR;--We have arrived at the
ninth week Of the session. Seven of
the eight weeks were worse than thrown
away. They were wasted by the un,
constitutional and lawless conduct of sew
enteen gentlemen mobocrats, who had
accidentally been selected by the suf
frages of their party, to represent them
in the Hall Of tine Senate. Seventeen
were not sufficient to carry out their rev.
olutionary designs, without that last re-
sort, an absquatulation. Therefore it
was, that an eighteenth person elected
under no law. representing no district
recognized by the law or the constitution,
and having received one thousand less
than a majority of the voters of the dis
trict whose representative he wished to
oust, was brought to this city and into
the Chamber. A show of legality had
been given to the claim ofthis individual,
by the fraudulent and partisan act of the
Clerk of the county in which he resided.
and on the strength ofthis, it was that it
was openly declared that unless The hol
der Of that certificate was admitted to q
scat, and permitted to vote in his own
case, no organization would take place.
| need not recount the various schemes
resorted to in succession to carry out the
plan. Nor need ] narrate in the Ian
guage Of distinguished leader of the
mob. what an 'ignominious 6zzle'' was
the end OF the drama ushered in by SO
high sounding pron9nciamento. These
are all now matters of history, aud the
only scene unacted, is the reception that
awaits those representative of the peo-
pie, who so basely betrayed their constit-
uentO. This will not transpire until the
"Ides of October"
After so idle a consumption of time
and money, there has been laudable ap.
plication to business, during the eighth
week. Three of the important measures
Of the session have been matured, and
two ofthcm have passed the House. 9th.
ers have been reported. and at present,
the prospect is good for an early termi-
nation of the session. The Supreme
Court bill, and the bill repeating the di,
vision of Hamilton county have passed
the House.
Caucus is just now very busy. An air
Of mystery is sought to be thrown over
the caucus nominations, by both parties,
which is not well suited to republican
propriety. The custom which holds in
New York, of admitting reporters, and
having the proceedings published, onght
to be introduced every where. Dame
rumor asserts that on Friday night, Cbas.
B. Flood, of the Ohio Statesman, was
nominated for Secretary Of Statel Geo.
w. Manypenny, ofMuskingum. for mem.
ber of the Board of Public Works. On
Saturday night. G. L. Vallandighan was
nominated for President Judge. to fiji the
place of Judge Holt of Dayton. That
is ungrateful. after Judge Holt taking
the pains to come to Columbus to assist
in an attempted organization of the SEN
ate, and illegally administering oaths
ou, of his Jurisdiction. Other nomina-
tions were made which have not obtain
ed.
Have you seen a communication in the
dollar Statesman" of Saturday, on the
great Widowers party, in the Odeon,
signed by "Wiliam Upheld, Of Lancas-
ter Ohio" Those not acquainted 10
your town attribute the authorship, to the
editor Of the Eagle. The letter throws
Peter P. loves Adequacy" altogeth-
er in the shade.
The Senate on Saturday had under
consideration n resolution for the ap.
pointmeDt of committee to investigate
the difficulties between Messrs. Payne
and Blake. The Locofncos refused TO
grant the committee, which would prob.
ably lead to the impeachment and expul
sion from the Senate of Payne. Mr..
Sprague likewise vindicated his democ-
racy, as being the Simon Pure article,
and not the "bread and butter" counter.
Cait of the Medary Stamp.
A convict made his escape from the
State House yard, day or two since. He
changed his prison dress for citizens cos,
tune, before venturing outside. He has
not been arrested.
