EplroR OF TaE GAzErTE:-The inert and
unwieldy slVthfulness with which the pre-
sent Legislature drags itself along, affords a
.hWited scope FOR the letter writer's at the
Capital. Their ingenuity has been taxed
for a long time to devise matters, Our at least
schemes Tor obtaining matter,) worthy OF
the public atten,iou. The State Conven-
tons happily as a temporary reliefand
since they are gone the Legislature is the
object Of epistolaty interest, One Of the
fraternity was so unfortunate in the selec-
ton of his subject a few days ago as to call
down the Indignation of a half dozen "hon-
orablcs of.the House Of Representatives
and Tor sundry grave charges and inuendoes
therein contained and publicly heralded
through the press Of the Western Reserve,
he was wayhid BY the Aforesaid 'honorables'
Yesterday ON the street g. most unmercirul.
ly caned, The truth or falslty of the charges
is by no means thereby tested g. consequent.
ly it is not certainly known whether the
specific offences alleged were or were not
committed; yet they are to som extent
VIGOROUSLY reported here and have passed
thus far without any public contradiction, =
The amount of the charges was loose morals
and Incorporate habits, but the game wn'
hardly worthy Of The powder, so | let it pass
with no further comment. Mr.. Gest was
the canor and Mr.. Harris (uf the Cultivator
the canee. The last few days have beer
spent by the Senate in debating Mr.. Rice,
School Bill, in which the fruitful subject o
negro education was introduced and ATTIC
much labor and great passing the Bill was a
length brought to a point in its fate TO-DAY
and was ordered to be engrossed and rca,
the third time on Monday next, II will pas
in its present shape, All things consider
ed it is perhaps the most perfect and com
plctc system Of common school organization
ever proposed in this State, having receiver
the end rsement Of many Of the most dis
tinguished teachers aud educators in th,
West. Nothing else, save the passage o
Court Bills, has been done.
The only subject we have observed In tn
House Of general Importance was a resolu
ton passed a few days since, appointing
committee to correspond with the Legisla
lures Of the other States with u view OF Re
curing a general and organized legal impc
diment in the whole Union against the issu
of Bark notes Of a less denomination tina
Five Dollars. The vote on the resolutio
was rescinded yesterday and il was refere
to the standing committee on Finance. To
day II proposition was advanced to chang
; the Cuyahoga Judicial district in such wa
, as to create n new Locofoco Judgeship, an
: a similar application heretofore made BY tn
Logan district in which a Wing distriC
. would be created being before the House,
! spirited contest sprung up, in which the pa
~ lines were closely drawn, and lasted a
y day. Two-thirds ore necessary to carry e
Z thcr project and both must 60 together {
