ONO LEGISLATURES. I'VE notice that on yes
terday morning, the Sergeant-at-Arms oflhe
Senate was despatched after absentees to
form quorum. This is bad business for
the third day of the session. Several bills
were read a first and sccondtime The Mi
litia bill was discussed at some length. The
Legislature appear determined to restore the
old cOrB-Rtalk times. Wonder if the Won
derful success Of militia Generals has any
thing to do with this. The Senate voted
down the resolution calling upon the mem
bers of the executive departments for the
condition Of affairs All the Locofocos
voted against the resolution.
In the House, nothing of any general im-
portance was transacted. We notice that
the bill to create sinking fund for the pay
ment Of the public debt of Ohio was read the
second time IN the Senate and appropriately
referred In formergears, there was some-
thing of the kind, if we remember rightly.
and the way it was 'sunk"was "cauton"
to the taxpayers, They. have now forgot
ten it, however. t4 .,.e,.. r,s-.i'T
sSATAN REBUKiNG SIN.--At the Locofoco
demonstration in Washington city, Col. For

thepaPers thatcailed Gen. Scott coward,
and Col. Forney is editor of that paper
Probably no, paper in the Union, our city
contemporaries, not excepted, has exceeded
that in perpetrating frauds, ,propagating false
hoods or retailing ISLANDERS, and here, imme-
diately after the election, the. miserable
,slanderer would, in a single remark, remove
the stain from his character /. 7a ..s,is
