WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.


SESATE.-Mr. Bright presented the Gre
dsnfaIs of Graham n Fitch, setting forth
that he had been elected Senator by the
Legislature of Indiana, and moved that
the oath of Office be administered.
Mr.. Trumbull said he had placed in his
hands by special messenger of that Stete,
the protest of the State Senate oflegality of
the election, and also a protest signed by
81 members of the House of Representa-
tiyes Of Indiana to the same effect.
Mr.. Bright said it was not necessary to
read the protests as he believed his col
league according to precedent is entitled to
be sworn in. <--t
The protests were read.
Mr.. Trumbull then objected to the ad-
ministration of the oath.
Mr.. Douglas said that it was better that
Mr.. Fitch should be sworn in, and an in
vestigation in the legality of the election
should take place afterwards as had been
the custom heretofore.
Mr.. Trumbull replied that the custom
had been both ways, and cited cases where
the oath had been refused until the matter
had been discussed and decided. He
thought that in this case no additional light
could be shed on the matter, as all the facts
were now known.

In regard to Pianos, the returns show
that the FIVE counties which take the lead
in this description of property, are as fol-
lows: Hamilton, which has 1929; Cuya-
hoga, 4s7; Franklin, 229; Montgomery,
1873; Erie, 157. Erie county, according
to its size and population, beats the State
for Pianos, from which fact We infer that
Sandusky is quite musical city; and We
have the authority of very excellent and
distinguished friend in the Auditors office,
to confirm our inference. The counties of
Paulding, Noble and Fulton, have no Plan
os, but We shall not presume because they
have no Pianos that the good people there
of have no music in their souls. The cleo
ton returns show that they have, and we
have no doubt that they have many lad
who can discourse most eloquent music
from violin, and many lass who can trip
the light fantastic toe to the music of pa
pered comb. But TO proceed with our
statistics:

This makes the grand estimate of per-
soaal property belonging to the people of
Ohio, two hundred and sixty-three millions
three hundred and ninety-two thousands,
one hundred and eighty-eight dollars, as
returned for taxation. 1t is fair to presume
that there is large surplus which, either
from purpose or accident, has not been re-
turned at all. Allowing that we have now
in this State two millions and half of pop
ulatioI, the average to each man, woman
and child throughout the entire State
would be considerable over one hundred
dollars. Remember the figures given above
do not include the real property, the houses
and lands Of the State. We think the peo-
pie cfOhio have every reason to feel salts
fed with their lot, and to give thanks to
God for the manifold blessings he has
vouehsafed to them.-O. S. Journal.

posed the armlstlce-wero arrested shortly af.
ter Trist was recalled Unless he denies these
well-known facts of the history Of that cam
paign, he makes no issue with any statement
in my address
Yet he would have the public believe that
Gen. Scott broke off friendly relations with me
because L would not alter my official report
and falsify my convictions Of truth He saws
that Gen. Scott ''cOndsScende9" to address me
In kind and complimentary language in a
" pirate n0ts,' to induce me to do so and
that basely attempted to use this private note
for my own glorifcation, DC.
In the first place, Gen. Scott's letter, from
which the extract was taken, is not prirats
note, but, on the contrary, was an 0GeiaI letter.
addressed by Maj. Gen. Scott to Mai. Gen.
Pillow, and related exclusively to the move
ments Of the army and to official reports. and
was by Gen. Scott SO regarded, and by Kim
forwarded to the War Department of the Gov
ernment ut Washington.
In the second place, if it had been pirate
note, and Gen. Scott had paid me unmerited
compliments to induce me to falsify my own
convictions. as Hitchcock says was the fact be
put General Scott In position in which all his
friends would see that no compromised ms
honor Either, therefore, Hitchcock lies, or
else General Scott was guilty Of writing me n
highly eu!Ogistic letter, faLMfying the truth
for most ignobIe purpose.
1t Is not material 10 me which horn Of the
dilemma he assumes. If he speaks the truth.
Gen: Scott wrote faksely. If Gen. Scott, in his
official letter, wrote the truth Hitchcock has
but added another to the many acts which con-
sign his name to infamy and dishonor
He may, therefore, fabricate what he peases,
and slander the memory OF the pure and illus
trious statesman who recalled his ''aSSOciate ia
crime, suspended his chief from command, and
approved the finding Of the court that relieved
NE from his false testimony and the foul charges
he vainly sought to fix upon my character. He
may run. as the teddsr of the pack upon the track
of him for whose blood he so thirsts but his
teeth are now ertractsd, and he cannot bite,
though he be rabbit with hafe and ntayice
L regret the necessary length of this commu-
nicatiOn, and still more the notice have been
compelled to take Of a man who. though not
mentioned or alluded to i'll my address, comes
forward an impertinent intermeddler with the
rights of the people of Tennessee; and provokes
this exposure
Perhaps, in the future. he will work al
" Scots Conquest Of Mexico" in the 'retirc-
ment" into which his GrerSi0n to the use Of the
scOrd has driven him. as more cOngenial to his
praoeabs nature than fighting Indians.
Having now disposed of him az | think he de-
serves, il is proper to say that shall take no
further notice Of any thing emanating from that
source. Respectfully, GID. J. Pillow.
