OUrRAeEoUs CONDUCT" The COnSti
tution M the hands Of its .tItends."-We
copy the following particulars Of a most
shameful outrage from the Ohio State
Journal. 1t is certainly matter of re-
gret that such person as the editor Of
the Ohio Statesman has control Of lead
ing journal aud that the Ohio Legislature
should be troubled each year with his at
templs to influence his party friends for
his own private gain. We do n"t sup
pose that any of his friends will back
him up hereafter, and we think this last
&C, will so disgust his party in the Legis
Iature that they will cease trying to buy
his influence.
