COLUMBUS, Jan. 18th, 1854.
Friend Gsles-Monday last was great
day with us here, as it was the day Gov
ernor Medill was inaugurated and gave in
his Inaugural Address, and took the oath
of office, which was administered by
Judge Corwine. The address of Gov.
Medill was spoken of in high terms of
praise, and many hundreds of people were
present on the occasion who felt proud of
Gov. Medill, as Governor of this great
State. The Address was delivered in the
Halls of the House in presence of both
Houses with all the officers of State and
large number of the most fashionable
ladies of the City and State, the Honora-
BILE William Allen was present, and all
the big guns of the State. Mr. Allen is
in excellent health and spirits, and think
would now like to be a candidate for the
Senate of the United States, if he thought
his chances were good.
On Tuesday neither House done great
deal.
Gest, of the House offered resolution
to bring on the election of a United States
Senator on the Gath inst, but was voted
for the reason I presume that Mr.. A. IS
and BIS chance on that day would not be
as good as at some subsequent day of the
session. l think it would be good policy
to have the election brought about as soon
as possible, as neither House can do a
great deal of good, till it is done. .
On Tuesday evening went off the great
inaugural Ball, at Neil's New Hall. I
was honored with ticket, but did not
go, for the reason that my cleft bower
was not here; but I was informed it was
a splendid affair
On Wednesday, Gest, of Green county,
offered a resolution instructing the COM
mittee on schools to inquire into the pro-
priety of reporting a bill to reduce the
time of requiring schools to be kept up
seven months, in each year to that of five
months, which brought forth good deal
of argument from many of the members,
which finally was withdrawn. The House
then took up the resolution to go into an
election on the 24th inst, for U. S. Sen
ator and was adopted.
The Senate on Tuesday introduced q
resolution allowing members to frank al
public documents, which brought forth an
animated discussion, but finally was last
Mrs. Amelia Bloomer of Mt Vernon
the author and originator of thaSBloomel
dress, appeared in the Senate chamber
with other ladies in her Bloomer dress
with memorial asking law ON the sub
ject of Temperance, similar to that of the
Maine Liquor Law; which was referred
to the Committee on Temperance. She
also lectured in the evening, on Woman
Rights; and I should think from the way
she talked, she knows but little about the
laws of this State, or the rights Of womer
here, as she took the position that mar
ried women, if she lost her husband, coulC
be turned out of the home mansion il
forty days, and her children taken from
her, &C.; which is not the fact. She i.
not only entitled to the homestead ont
year, but she is entitled to it her natura
life; she is also, entitled to her children
the care and custody of the same. He
property cannot be taken for the husband
debts; she has the right to make mar
riage contract; she, is entitled to all O
her property and if her husband attempt
to squander his property, she may by Law
restrain him. So you see, she has now a
many rights as man, save that of sunfrag'
which she never ought to enjoy, and lool
