coLUBfnUs CORRESPONDENCE.
Columbus. March l.

OolumDua, March i, 1903,
DEAR ADER:--This is tho commence
ment Of the NINTH WEEK of the Lecis-
laturo, and although Democracy came hero
boasting that sixty days Mt farthcst sbould
close tho session, and that no adjourned
session would be held, still tho eniiro cnn.
cral legislation thus far, except partial an.
preparation bills, would not occupv moro
than one octave page They seem afraid
to do anything. The heretofore unterri6ed
seem to be little skecred From what
can learn, there is scarcely one locofoco who
did not deuounce the last Legislature, for
holding an adjourned session, and pledged
themselves TO vote against one this winter.
They expect, however, that the republicans
will vote for it, and enough locos to carry il.
Then they can denouncc the few locos as
''sbaky" and lay the blame generally on the
republicans. But they count without their
host. If there is an extra session, the ma
iority will have to vote it and take the re-
sponsibility. 1t is difficult to SEQ what tho
people want Of this Legislature again, and
especially is there no reason why Republi-
cans should want to see them here next
winter.
Mr.. Langdon's bill to postpone the Con-
grcssional election until the second Tues
day of October, 1859, is now in the hands
of the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. This is a beautiful thing. The pre-
tencc is that members of Congress are cleo
ted too long before their duties commence;
and that they should commence their du-
ties frosh from the people. This is mere
pretext. The true reason for the bill is
this: They fear that should tho elections be
held this fall, they would stand slim chance
for even one member. The Constitution
Of the United States provides that members
of Congress shall be elected once in two
years. This provision has been complied
with for fifty-fiye years and there has been
not one word of complaint, that the mem
bcrs are not fresh enough Tho present
law was enacted by Locofocos, and they now
propose to change and repeal it for party
purpose alone.
The bill to vest the appointing power of
Directors Of the Penitentiary in the Cover
nor Chief Justice aud Speaker Of the House,
and the bill to give the members of tho
Board of Public Works the power of ap-
pointing Collectors and other employees
and agents on the Canals, are of the same
character. They propose to repeal their
own legislation, and change the old order of
things, for no other purpose than to help
their friends to few petty offices. The
two last above mentioned mice seems to be
the result of the long and incossant caucus
labors of the majority. The maxim "de
neinipais non crrdt Ter ought to be imme-
diately abolished. Yours, r.

shall We Have an Adjourned session.
Yesterday Mr.. Andrews Of Augaizo Of
fcred resolution that It was inexpedient TO
have an extra session Of the Legislature,
which resolution gave rise to long discus
sion in the afternoon. A substitute was
offered by Judge Satin that it was eSpedi-
ent to hold mn extra session. During the
debate several amendments and propositions
wcrc made, but all of them were voted
down, and finally, without coming to di-
rect vote upon the main question, the reso-
lutions were referred to select committee
to report upon it hereafter.
We have no doubt that there is major
ity in both branches of tho Legislature who
think that an adjourned session ought to be
held, but they are afraid inst now to take
the responsibility of voting for it. Mr.. Col
Inns, who is leading member of the party
now having the majority, thought that an
extra session ought to be held, but he
would not vote for it. He desired to throw
the responsibility of calling it upon tho
Governor, and to relieve the majority in the
Legislature from it. We think if Mr.. Col
Inns don't see an extra session until Governor
Chase calls one, he will not be in office
when the call is made.
We are in favor of annual sessions, and
think tho constitution should be amended
SO as to require a session to be held every
year, ard under ordinary circumstances,
were we Republican member of the Leg
islature, we would vote to have an extra ses-
sion next winter, but we would not under
the present existing circumstances. x
Now, as we stated in the beginning, VIC
are in favor of annual sessions, and VIC be-
licye large majority of the people of the
State entertain the same views, but we
would hold the majority to the responsible
ty Of calling an extra session. The Repub-
licans assumed that responsibility two years
ago, and their opponents abused them for
it, and profted by it. Now then, let the
party upon whom rests the responsibility
this year act as their predecessors, if they de-
sire an extra session. sThem's our scnti-
ments Mr.. Speaker"

This 2 day of February 1868. L. II. MCLEAN.
When the Board of Commissioners to in
vestigate the election frauds sent a subpoena
to the Judges and clerks of Shawnee pre-
cinct, they only laughed at the civil pro-
cess. Tho officers returned, raised cavalry
troop of thirty assistants, and quietly took
the scoundrels into custody. At Lawrence
they testified before the Board that the
poll book of Shawnee was taken to West
port, Missouri, and that 800 names were
added to it at that place! The Times says

A SCENE FOR AN ARTIsT.-The Doug
las men of Toledo, headed by Messrs. Nor
ton, Hosmor, McGroarty, and many 9TH
ers, the leaders of the party two months
since, called meeting at Stickney Hall, in
that city, for Monday evening" March 1st,
to form an Anti-Lecompton party. The
government officers--postmaster and Gus.
tom house oficer--knowing that unless they
should prevent, or do what they could tc
break up the proposed assemblage, would
be in danger of losing favor at court, pro
ceeded in regular border-ruffian style to got
up row. The hangers-on and hired as
sstants Of the postmaster and collector were
accordingly sent in to take possession of thu
hall, hold an administration meeting, and
endorse Buchanan generally. A row aOd'
raised, some knock downs were had il
which fists, chairs and canes were freely
used. Bloody noses were prominent, ant
'tho air was made blue with oaths and ours
es;" shrieks, groans and cat-cals converted
the place into a perfect paudemonium.--
The Lecomptonites took possession, or a
least read a string of resolutions endorsing
old Buck in every particular, they were de
clarcd carried amid yells of the most demo
MAC kind, and they then adjourned. Th
Anti-Lecomptonites, who had organize
the meeting, had not been driven from tn
platform, then went on and completed the
organization. Messrs. Hosmer McGroart
: and Morton, made very strong and indi&
nant speeches.

C,nclnnasi Anti-Lccomp.on Meeting.

The call for the Anti -Lecompton meeting
at Cincinnati, is signed by over thousand
Democrats, every one of whom voted for
Buchanan. Among them we notice the
name Of w. II. Lytle, late Democratic can
didate for Lieut.. Governor, Judge Caldwell,
Mcdowell, Matthews, and other prominent
men Of the Democratic party. Tho En-
easirer is wrathy, and denounces all who
take part 10 these Anti-Lecompton demon
strations as follows: C
They are opposed to tho Administration
Of President Buchanan as completely as arc
Salmon p. Chase and other Black Repnbli-
cans, and they do not care who knows it,
They want to break down the Administers
tion, for ulterior purposes, and no Blacl
Republican desires 10 50 further than that
at present
The Statesman doubtless thinks that it i
either too premature or too bold a move
sieni, and, therefore, wants TO soften tn
demonstration Of hostility as much as pos
sible.
The State Journal comments ON the mum
Der OF German and Irish signatures to tn
call. the former being headed by tho name
az tbs editors Of the German Democrat
paper, and the. leaders Of the Democrsc
generally. II adds:
II appears that Che ahlcst and most enc
eelic mon OF the famous pirlsh Brigade
have promptly signed the call. This

Non-Appraisement INV.

Mr.. RAYMOND has presented bill on
leave in the House of Representatives of
this State, relating to the right of appraisal
of real estate, in certain cases. The bill
makes it lawful for any mortgagor Of real
estate to iusert in tho body of his mortgage
a clause waving appraisal; and when the
mortgage is foreclosed, the property shall
go to the highest biddcr-tho mortgagor
having the right to redeem the property
within year after the sale, by paying
amount of mortgage, costs, DC. This bill
is similar to the ono introduced by Mr..
BUcKLANp, in the Senate, over which the
Messenger howlcd so much, and which it
said was calculated to rob the poor man.
When the truth is, no man need insert the
non-appraisal clause unless he desires to-
The bill will probably pass.

LATER.-The meeting has been addressed
by Hon. H, B. Payne, Judge johnson and
others. The resolutions tender thanks to
Douglas, Stuart, Broderick, Wise, Walker,
and Stanton. Also declaring it the imper-
ativo duty of Congress to reject the pending
application for the admission of Kansas un-
der the Lecompton constitution.
Washington, March 2.
In former dispatch, it was stated on the
authority of leading democrats that the cal
culation was that tho Kansas bill would
pass the House by Is majority, but on the
contrary, tho leading Anti-Lccomptonites
are sapguine of its defeat, and are working
| lindustriously to that end.
Gen. Calhoun is still in Washington
His recent publication has stirred up The
ire of Frank Marshall and the other Kansa
patriots, who denounce him for having sur
rendered their rights. 1t is said their wratl
is not in the least appeased by learning tina
the commissioners appointed by the legisla
turo have got possession of the whole re
turns for state officers, which were buried il
the redoubtable McLean's candle-box.-
These developments will be ventilated
ever the free state Legislature receive certil
icates, and the state is admitted.

AND ANrr-LEComproN.


The eyes Of the nation arc fixed upon
Congress and the deepest interest is felt in
this question. For once the whole mass Of
the people understand the matter. 1t is
not point to be established by testimony;
not question of fact to be asserted on one
side and denied on the other; but is simply
this, whether q constitution which the peo-
pie had no hand in framing and to which
they are unalterably opposed, shall be fore
ed on the people of Kansas. In the very
plainnoss Of tho question itself, and of the
right and wrong of it, lies the strength of
those who resist the attempted usurpation
No amount Of pettifogging can make the
people believe that tho majority in Kansas
ought not to rule. No man but an Office
holder or an oxpectant can be found TO say
that the people of Kansas ought not to be
allowed to vote on their own constitution.
The case needs no argument, and tho Ad-
ministration will find that in this contest
Douglas and his followers have all the nd
vantage.
1t is clear that tho breach between the
Lecomptonites and the Ants cannot be
healed. Already the Union is reading all
the leaders Of the Anti-Lccompton move
ment out of the party. Mr.. Buchanan is
doing his utmost to drive the Ants into
open rebellion. He is chopping off the
heads Of his opponents wherever they hold
office. Let the war go on. The great mass
of the democracy could in no other way be
brought to see whittier their leaders were
carrying them. Some great outrage, mon
strous in the eyes of the whole nation, was
necdful to awaken them. State conventions
to oppose this iniquitous scheme have been
called in Ohio and Indiana. Immense
meetings have been held in Philadelphia,
New York, Cincinnati, Columbus and 9th.

derstand that in this scheme there is q

The President has appointed H Rice Pol

to find favor with Buchanan. 1t says he
was for time associated with certain

moro villain than he. Pollard helped to
tar and feather the noble Phillips, and no
one could have been more active in out
raging and expressing FREQ State citizens.
He has his reward in Consuship.
w. H. Cole, one of the Pro-slavery can
didatos for the Legislature in Leavenworth
county, has taken position that does him
honor. Convinced that enough fraudulent
votes have been proved to vitate his claim
to seat, he has published letter stating
that he will resign should Calhoun tender
him his certificate.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: "Tho
Volkyreund, Of our city, German news
paper Of tho staunchest Democratic sort
comes out decidedly against the Lccompton
swindlc. It copies from Mr.. Stanton's
Philadelphia speech, to show satisfactorily
why tho Free State men did not voto for
delegates to the Lccompton Convention
and translates the admirable address Of Mr..
Bancroft into good German, with emphatic
approval. The truth is, Lecompton is in
very bad repute in Cincinnati, and outside
a knot Of federal Office holders and con-
siderable reinforcement Of expectants, it is
regarded with adherence Tho German
population of Hamilton county may be set
down as unanimous against the swindle."
