The Ohio Statesman has become the
apologist Of outrages in good earnest. II
not only in effect justified Mr.. Slough, but
DR.. Dawson in binding for life young Shan
non in the Penitentiary. Its attack on the
Investigating Committee in Shannon's case
is entirely unjust. Party had no place il
it. The facts disclosed were painful to the
Committee, which was composed of as up
right, intelligent, and impartial men as tho
House contains. 1t consists of Mr.. Men
denhall of Jefferson, Mr. Clark of Gallia
Mr. Cook of Huron, Mr.. Boyer of Seneca
Mr.. Holbrook of Morgan, and Mr.. Robinson
of Hamilton. They delayed the investiga
ton from time to time for two weeks, t
give DR.. Dawson every opportunity to pro
duce witness and if possible to exculpatc
himself, and were forced by the testinon,
and the facts disclosed, to report unanimous
ly against him. The report aud testimony
when printed, will shock with indignation
every right feeling person who roads pro
fessional or non-professional.
Columbus, Feb. 7.
Mr. Cattell, from the special committe,
to whom was referred a petition numerous
ly signed praying that the right of suffrag
might be conferred upon women, made
long and strong report in favor of the praye
Of the petition and "womens rights" gene
rally. The report was accompanied by
resolution instructing the Judiciary Com
mittee to report a bill to provide for al
amendment of the Constitution to admi
women to the polls Report laid on the ia
BILE to be printed. 1t is perhaps only nee
essary to add that Mr. c. is one Of tn
best hearted and best looking Bachelors il
the State.
CoUTRr1oUs. Columbus correspon
dent of the Cleveland Herald of the 6tl
says, the courteous conduct of majority i
the House on Thursday, was in striking con
trast with the lack of courtesy on the par
of the minority last session. Mr.. Egly beg
ged of the House to suspend the rules il
order that his salary bill might be put OF
its passage, and the House at once conseu
ted. Near the close of the last session MI
E. and his political associates refused to al
low the rules TO be suspended to pass nee
essary appropriation bills, and compelled Al
extension of the session for two days b.
their party pertinacity in the matter.
