Nix, EDlToR;-The tenth week OF the session
has seen greater udvnnce in the public business
lbnn my Que preceding. A very considerable
number ut bills have passed-many OF them
of great importance TO particular localities.
Many others are in a stue OF lorwardness. Still
more have just been introduced, so thar it is i'm
possible TO say how soon the session will end.
Railroads and Railway subscription bills are
mong the more important In my view, before the
Legislature. Several of these hive finally passed,
including that To authorize the county OF Picka'
way IL subscribe TO the Cincinnati, Wilmington
aud Zancsville Road the Senate having this alter
uonn agreed To the amendment to it in The House
The Fairfield county bill has been referred and
r,-relerred 50 often during the week. and so many
amendments have been made 10 H. that eau
scarcely state its present shape with anything
like precision. Mr. Fuust ia disposed 10 insist up
on an amendment. providing that the people oil
| Lancaster should in their C0rIOrate aud private
capacity subscribe 100000 10 tie road before
the county subscription is voted on. 1t is mol
quite certain that this provision will not 60 into
tile bill. Tor the influence OF any Senator goes FAR
where his own local interests are concerned. | see
o strong delegation of lubbies from your young
city on the ground, no doubt doing their best a.
ganst the amendment. The bill is in the hands
of the Railroad committee now.
Bs to authorize subscriptions to the same road
Ivy the counties of Perry, Fayelte aud Clinton
have been introduced.
A etfirts 10 60 Into an election have failed this
week. Some profess 10 believe that no elections
| will be made bat | have nu doubt whatever that
all State officers will be elected. The Senatorial
question will probable be left 10 receive more
light from The people, at the next election.
This afternoon, joint resolution was offered in
the Senate t0 appoint Senator Lawrence Reporter
10 the Cont in Bank. But us no arrangement
1s yet been entered into, the resolution was not
adopted. II was referred 10 the Senator from
Ashtahnla. Petitions are beginning to he receiv-
ed from various sections Inr u Peoples Line.
Senator Myers offered a resolution this after.
noon also, for a sine die adjournment on the Sd O
March. No resolution that wonId give Governor
Wood the shadow of n right To appoint Senator
will be adopted. This one was laid on the ia
BILE
