CLERK OF THE SENATE

Charges Of very serious nature, involv-
lug a. charge Of G~slphinism. have been
made sgainstlhe present Clerk of The Sen
ate, C. D. FLooD, Esq. A Committee has
been appointed to Investigate the charges
made FIRST by the Ohio State Journal, and
subsequently by the Ohio Statesman.
The Committee have not yet reported.
As near as we could learn, during our brief
sciourn al Columbus last week, we are
led 10 believe that the charges cannot be
sustained. True, we know and heard but
little on The subject.
II is due to Mr.. FLOOD, as well as his
friends, however, that the Committee
should attend 10 this matter soon, 10 pre-.
ven, the reputation Of MIR. FLooD from
suffering. The anlidoie never follows the
hane. Having long known Mr.. F., he is
the last man we would have suspected 10
have been engaged in drawing ex>rb'lant
fees from the State Treasury, for services
rs Clerk Of the Senate. The great failure
oi his whole life has been, that he has nev'
er bestowed proper attention on his pecn
mary affairs. Ills brains and bis body
have been taxed 10 their utmost for the
benefit OF citizen SAMIvEL, and for which
he never received a proper quid pro quo.
1t certainly looks strange 10 US, that atlhis
late day in his life, he would leave the
paths of honesty, in which he has always
walked. We say this looks strange, very,
and more so from the fact, that this is the
first time any thing of this nature has been
~alledged agains, him.
1t cannot he that money can be drawn
out Of our Treasury wrongfully, especially
with our presen! honest Si1ie officers.
The charge is no, made without a motive
behind the oslensible reason, and we think
the true reason for this %yirulent attack, made
ut the lime il was. was 10 crush Mr.. FLOOD.
But be this as i, may, The charge should
hot have been made by a man. who, what.
ever reputation lie has acquired. State or
National, owes it 10 the brains Of FLOOD.
by a man, who, whatever wealth he pos.
pes. which is considerable, should thank
the man be now maligns, more than any
other. for assisting him TO fill his Golfers.
But enough Of This al present. We will
await the action Of The Committee, which,
We believe, is composed ofone Free Soiler,
one Democrat and one Woman's Rights.
The latter partisan, is the only salt in the
Committee.

SENATE, Jan. l3.-Senate bill fixing tho
salaries OF Clerks of the Courts Of COM
mon Pleas in certain cases, was taken up
and read.
Mr.. RlBLET moved 10 strike ont the
first section Of the bill, after the enac,ins,
e'suse.
Mr. WRIGHT said this bill did not
conflict With the present salaries Of clerks;
ii only contemplated cases where the clerks
fees did not ampunt 10 six hundred dollars
per annum, which was the case in many
portions Of the State. Clerks living ia
county seats were subjected to considera.
BILE expense 10 live, and the results OF The
Office wonld not indemnify them.
MI. RIBLET said he had 90 objection
10 allowingcle rks suitable compensation
for their services, Previous 10 the adcp'
lion Of the new Constitution, clerks fees
were quite large, but since that time il was
not the case. Most Of their fees are trans
ferred 10 The Probate Judge. He thought
it proper that marriage licences should be-
again returned 10 clerks Of courts.-Heh had
seen, Of the part Of The Senate, q DISPOSE
tim 10 retrenchmeni, with which he was
pleased. He was therefore opposed 10 the
section alluded TO-, because il proposed To-
fix clerks fees at 5000, and il the amount
were not made out of the clerks Office, IL
was TO be drawn from the county treasury.
The people in his opinion, had been blef
long enough. He would go for transferring
marriage licences to clerks.
MI. LEE said the reason why he should
oppose the passage Of this law, was that
the emolumenls of the Clerks office had
been transferred 10 The Probate Judge,
which had made a splendid Office for him,
at the expense Of The Clerk. This was
wrong. Let The law return a portion Of
these emolumenls.
HoUsE-Jan. l3.-Mr. EMERSON Of.
fered a resolution inslruciing the Judiciary
Committee 10 inquire into the expediency
of passing an act explanatory of section So
Of the act regulating the fees Of officers in
Probate Courts in criminal cases, where
the State fails, and the estate is insolveni,
or Of so amending said section as 10 s!ipu.
