edged organs of the dominant party, tells t
the following good one-on the leaders cOn- Q
gregated in the General Assembly: .
The Fractice so common this winter at
Columbus, Of hauling around memorials Tor n
the signatures OF members Of the Eegisla- :
ture asking the Executive at Washington /
or his Cabinet Heads to confer this or that
Office upon this or that aspirant, trum the
highest position in the gift Of HE Govern
meat to the lowest in the gift Of a subordin-
ale. has become such an insufrerable bore .
that it almost deserves to be .reprobated as
a Nuisance! Every body signed for every
BODY who asked for names. To refuse was
not ventured.
rs snch an extent did this prevail that
s5ne wag OF a senator undertook to rebuke
it iew days since, by running n deep-set
s4u uDon the members, and capitally and
'lucraoly did he do it. Drawing up a pa
per, IN its heading purporting to be a me-
n5riatto President Pierce 10 confer an Of
lee, he was successful in getting the sigma
lures OF some eight or ten of the 'grave and
reverend" Senators, when some wide-a-
wake chap, looking over the shoulder Of the
last sigBer, asked him if he was aware Of
whotshe was putting his name toi Stimula-
ted 10 read the paper over, for the first time,
he discovered that he and has brother members
had 'yea giving their Joint note for one thous-
and dollars! He didn't quite like the joke,
JDt sun said, the note loas toel endorsed!
This being in character very many memo
lia's, which have been gotten up for uses
III Washington, il is quite debatable wheth-
ry he President wouldn't be on the safest
stIs If he should pay least regard to those
.gItaI. Luu., tha nroatosf nrraU OF npfitiOn-

The WORLDS FAlR.-The Scioto Gaaehe,
in an article upon the Worlds Fair 10 be
held in New York, alludes to some charges
which have been made %sgainst the Projec,
tors, which are not very creditable to them
1t says:
"Connected with the subject, we have
seen some remarks in u late number 1.-THE
American Railroad Journal, which deserve
attention In reference to the pending ar
rangemeDts for the WDrld's Fair, that Jour
nal says, The whole afiuir will have n Neu
York character; that is to say, every thing
will be made subservient to money making.
A pretty penny has already been secured by
a judicious representation of the immense
expected profits of the exhibition. The
stock has been carried some sixty per cent
above its par value 80 that a person who a few
months ago subscribed $4,000, only n por
ton Of which, we presume, has yet beer
paid in, has already cleared Sc, e00H
"The Journal informs US that a %favorit'
mode of making money in New York, is t
start some project, issue stock, puff it up Il
high figure, and then issue a large amour
more OF stock which is partitioned out anon!

has lately increased its stock to $3,x5 10, 900
ave hope that the information Of tn
Railroad Journal, in relation to the doing
Of this Company is erroneous. Ifit be not,w
are ready to unite in denoupcing the attemE
to convert the great fir into an %occasio

Col Manufactures Charges We pull
lish to-day some charges made against Co
Medill upon the authority Of distinguishe
members of his own party, and do it this ea
ly in the campaign in order that he may hav
a fair opportunity to make his defence, If
has any. They will attract attention. n,
more on account of their serious nature tina
the distinguished position which he occ
pics, and at present we reserve any cor
ments of.our own, promising however to
him full and exact justice should he be ab
to clear away the ugly look with which i
political associates have clothed the atlac
We have not the full debates before us, b
shall look them up and endeavor TO discov
what defence, II any, was made atthe Tin
by the Ohio delegation who were invited
the task. We know not the name oil t
democrat who furnished the communicate
20 the Dayton journal; but the two mel
bcrs Of Congress, who prepared the su
stance Of The charge, are at present in f
communion with their party, aud their tt
tinony ia entitled to considerable weight.
