TIE ELECTORAL VoTE OF WISCONSIN
Losr.-The Buffalo Express of the Oath
inst, states that the electoral vote of
Wisconsin has been lost, and cannot be
cast for Fremont. United States law
provides that the electors of the several
States shall meet, in their State capitals
on the first Wednesday in December,
and then vote for President and Vice
President. The statute is imperative
in regard to the day. The Wisconsin
electors started from their homes in
time, according to the usual travelling
c~onvenieuces, to be in Madison on De-
cember Sd, but a violent snow storm
set in and detained them on the road
until the day had passed. Whom they
did arrive they could do nothing, and
returned home as privateqcitizens. The
acknowledgements of a whole State by a
legal teehnicality, in SO im%portanta
matter as the election of a. President
and Vice President, isitosbe greatly re-
GREETED, and measures should be taken
TO prevent such occurrences In the-efu-
ture. The Wisconsin electors were
for Fremont, andathis. loss reduces his
vote zto4onel hundred and mine. The
United States law further provides if
the vote of a State is not in Washing
tonlby the first week in January a spe-
eial messenger will be sent for it. In
this case it will be of no use, although
thei form will have to be gone through

OHIO LE3GISLATURE.

We give 4 condensed report of the
proceedings ofthe Legislature up to Sat
urday night. TIE most interesting fea-
lures of the proceedings SO far are the
petitions presented, praying for al IL
crease of the salaries of the Supreme and
Common Pleas Judges, for a stringent
Liquor law, for so amending the Consti-
tuition as to allow niggers equal priv
leges with white men for allowing wo-
men to wear the brooches, in accordance
with the accommodation of Gov. CHASE,
and certain essential notifications of the
School Law. Odious and ridiculous as
the prayers of some of these petitions
are, We would not be surprised to see
som of them fully enacted. Already a
project is on foot to disfranchise foreign
ers, while efforts are also making to ex-
tend the right of suffrage to negroes. Let
the work go on. If the people are not
satisfied and made sick of Black Repub-
licanism for twenty years to come, it
will not be the fault of this Legisla-
ture-

THE STATE FESTIVAL.


The Columbus papers are filled with
lengthy descriptions of the grand opens
ing of the new State House, on Tuesday
evening last. The city was OVERLOOKING
with strangers, and every hotel and pri-
vate house was jammed. It took the
crowd some 8 or A hours to get inside of
the State House, and hundreds left dis
satisfied, because of their inability to ef-
feet an entrance The ceremonies
were opened with prayer by the Rev.
DR.. HoGE, after which speeches were
made by Hon. ALFRED KELLY, Gov.
CHASE, and Hon. T. j. SMITH, in behalf
of the Legislature. Next followed mu-
sic and dancing, which lasted until near
ly Daylight The Supper was an
nounced at IL o'clock, but few could
work their way to the tables, on account
of the crowd. Much dissatisfaction pre-
vailed as is always tho case on such &C.
%casions. Pickpockets were plenty as

ly squeezed, but didn't faintl The hotel
keepers reapt a rich harvest, and felt as
