Legislative Clerks for 1852 q.

In response 10 the resolution Of the Senate,
adopted the end Of February, the Auditor Of
State made report of the ''names and compen-
saton Of the Clerks Of the Senate and House OF
Representative during the sessions Of 1852 and
1882 From this document il appears that
the enormous sum Of ETeHTFES THOUSAND
NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO DOLLARS AND
roRrr CENTS have been paid to Legislative
clerks during the setting Of that notorious boz
dy.
The former Of these sessions commenced on
the 9Th Of January. 1852 and ended on the 4lh
Of May-le0 days. The latter commenced on
the 18th Of November 1852, and continued
till the l4th Of March, IS53--l9o days. The
report Of the Auditor discloses the facts that
payments were made for Senate Clerk hire
for the fret session for, ,3ll days. at 81
per day, amounting to s5.244. Like pay
ments were made for the latter session, for
s7st days 4dol. per day, amounting to $685.
20. And. Notwithstanding the strong force
Of Clerks employed at the FIRST Of these ses-
sons. the report shows that Of the $685.
40 paid Clerks for the latter session, TWELVE
HUNDRED AND FIVE DOLLARS was for bringing
up hs rscords"-whrh ought to have been
done BY the Clerks of the frs. session, and for
which the Sc cretary Of State says the Legis'
lature had expressly provided that no pcy or
compensation should BE- Gllc wed!
Just think of It Taxpayers Of Ohio, 49,
s42,4o paid for clerk hire in the legislat urel
Think OF it; count up the figures and think
how your taxes become so high.
Here you have the benefit Of the "new
constitution in hands CT its friends with ven.
gence. This is the way that the leading Loco.
focOs make good their promises, that the ex.
penses should be lessened under the "New
Constitution
Another fact is developed by this REPORT.
II appears that one W. w. Hickey received
Jour dollars per dag as CLERK cfhs fs9dte, dur
ing the entire session from the 18th Of No.
vember to the l4th Of March--l9o days, $3.50;
and that Mr.. Hickey was also the private Secre-
ta,y of the Governor and RECEIVED HIS SALARY
As SUCH 966,66 during the sitting Of the Leg.
islotureI IT was not enough that this Mr.. Rick
ey received ons salary, but he must receive
III. salaries Of both positions while reality, he
could but perform the duties of one.
viii the people of Ohio Sanction such ex-
.rayagancs When will the sober thinking
and honest tax payers cease TO endure such
foul 2layf
The people are NOW reasoning Of Judgment
to come" and many Of the leaders this horde
Of peculators on the public Treasury, are be-
eing to "tremble."
Tax payers Of Carroll county think Of these
things and when you come to vote next fall,
cast it in that way that such drains on your
State Treasury may be stopped The power
is with the people; let them speak and they
SHALL be heard.

" ResoiUed, That the the seat of John b.

Perry county, is hereby declared vacant;" and
whereas the constitution, Article 2. section u,
declares that call vacancies which mag happen
in either House, shall, for the unexpired term,
be filed by election, as shall be directed by

RESOLVED, That the Speaker Of this House
forthwith notify the Governor that the seat
lately held by John H. 0'Nei, as the Rrepre
seutstive Of Perry county, has been declared
vacant by a resolution of this House
This gave rise to debate that lasted during
the afternoon. Messrs Brown, Leland, Gilbert
and Rogers advocated the resolution and con-
tended that there was vacancy that could on
ly be filled BY the people
Messrs. Cest, Mckenzie, Cross, Perky,
Walkup. Burcharp and Taylor, opposed it and
held that the point was merely technical, and
not worth attention.
On motion Of Mr.. Pain, the resolution was
indefinitely post poned-yeas 81, nays II. So
that ends the fight in the Perry county
case.
