EDiroR OF THE GAzE1TE:-The most i'm
aud the only decisive action Of the
Senate since my last, was resolution passed
by that body to remove Irpm the old Court
House IN which they are now enscoDsed to
the new and magnificent Hall recently fit
ted up by Mr.. Ambus. They pay one hun
bred dollars for It's use during the remainder
Of the present sess on. Now Il Is quite
true that the room at present occupied is
ncommodious aud uncomfortable--it ~roasts,
il freezes and its rmokes-but the course
pursued by the Senate In relation 10 the re-
movul betrays a stupidity and p%uerility dis
graceful to the State.
Some days ago, a proposition vas made
precisely identicalto the one finally agreed
to. 1t was then promptly voted down by a
majority Of the Locofocos, not beci us they
were opposed to the measure, not because
they thought the expense thereby incurred
an unnecessary expense, but because they
feared the Wings would make capital out OF
the movement. This was their avowed in
tention in voting down the resolution, to
keep The Wings from making capital. 30 with
the wisdom Of genuine statesmen and the
economy of true L.ocofocos, they authorized
the Sergeant-at-arms to make what repairs

Under the authority of a resolution, work.
men we're employed and after an expendi-
ture of seventy.fUe dollars, the House is so
much worse than il was before the repairs
were made, that il is absolutely uDinhabita-
BILE and they are compelled to do what they
should have done ten days ago. After vast
ing the seventy. five dollars in money and
Eve hundred in time, they are fortified
against the wind in front, but not against
ga fire in the rcar,' and so the Senate has
been 'ssmoked out" o! wise. and sapient
legislators! "Quousgue tandem abutere, DC"
Mr.. Gushing introduced a Bill to-day, to
prevent the future immigration and settle
ment Of blacks and mulattoes in the State
of Ohio, which was read the first time. Both
Houses have been engaged since Friday
morning in discussing the rights Of owners
Of private property taken for public use.-
Since the Wings are no longer able to de-
fend the great interests of the people from
the bludgeon and bowie-knives of rabid and
agrarian radicalism, the intelligent and pru.
dent Locofocos have been driven to assume
the Wing position and interpose their au'
thority 10 save the State from the conse'
uuences of the narrow and illiberal policy
of those whose only political principle is &c
array the passions of the poor agains'
the rich. II is worthy of remark that, al
though the Wings are in a hopeless minority
in both branches Of the Legislature, yet OF
all vital questions Wing principles are tri
umphant.
You have doubtless heard of the mob tina
occurred here on the evening of the I'd inst
in which a young Irishman was shot. Des
perate efforts are being made by thu
lower order of locofocos here, Medary, An
drews, r ,nkin g. Co., to excite the Irish a
gainst the Wings as being the murderers o
Giblin. He was killed in resisting the Of
fcers of the city while they were arrestinG
the ringleaders Of the mob. The object o
the rioters, urged no doubt by a portion o
these same peace-loving citizens, who arr
now SO indignant at the disregard oflaw ant
order, was as they termed it, ITO clean GU
the Wings" The result " as not quite 81
successful as was anticipated, and they arr
now attempting to divert attention iron
their infamous and brutal outrage, by tn
usual expedient of crying Stop Thief!"-
