The Ohio Legislature.

We paid a hasty visit to Columbus during
last week, and spent a lew hours in the
Legislature. The bill for the repeal of the
act prohibiting the use of the Jails Of Ohio
for the confinement of fugitive slaves was
before the House. Mr.. MoNReE Of Lorain
gave a very able speech in opposition to the
bill, making some points which the slave
Democracy, can not get over. They did not
try to get over them, simply told the Repub-
licahs they were ready 10 act without dis
cussion. They have since passed the bill.
Thus when people do not call for it; when
the public good does not demand it; Tor the
sole reason that it was a Republican meas
ure, it must be repealed.
The Legislature is doing a great amount
of work, but we have yet TO see the good
act-well, there is one exception, the Sen
ate reduced the pay of Messenger Boys,
from S2,O 90 10 $3.50 per day. That is re-
irenchment with a vengeance.
There has been enough business intro
duced to keep them busy for a long term ,
but we can't look for much done uutil The

Legislature. This seems now to engross

proposition came, nor to whom the credit
would be attributed.
Mr.. Harris. Will you vote for the South
ern routei
Mr.. W~ashburne. That depends on cir
cumstances. But as ia as | am concerned.
| will vote for no route unless fxei by law
I voted for a wagon route 20 the Pacific, but
instead of the route being left to contract
ors, it was selected by the Administration.
Mr. Phelps earnestly appealed 10 the gen.
tleinan % leave off talking and vote.
MIR. Florence advocated sending the SUBJ
ject to the committee on Roads and Canals,
because the Chairman did not believe in the
constitutional power TO construct Railroads.
1t did not follow as a consequence that a
majority of the members of the committee
believed with him.
Mr.. Wilson confessed 10 so much blunt
ness of intellect as not to see in what part
of the Constitution such power is conferred.
He wanted a select committee to report the
fact Tor general information.
Mr.. Seward thought the subject ought to
be referred to the committees on Revisal
and Unfinished Business, for it had been
here ever since he had been in Congress.
Gentlemen seemed to differ, therefore, the
subject ought to be revised. He knew nc
better reference.
Mr.. Davis of Maryland, for Mr.. Wilson'S
information, said the power to construct the
road was found in the Constitution under
%severaI classes, and quoted Jefferson, Madl-
son, and John Quincy Adams, as signing
bills for national Improvements.
MIR. Letter said that subjec' should be
considered not only as to its practicability
but as to its coastitutionality. The CON.
s%titution granted no power to build railroads

end of the matter. He congratulated tn;
Democracy that the President has recon-
men1cd a policy which the party has ear.

FIVE years.
The Committee of the Whole, after re-
tjecting all pending resolutions, adopted one
that SO much Of the Presidents message al
relates to the Pacific Railroad, be ~reGerrei
to a select committee OF fifteen, with poweI
to report BY bill or otherwise. The com
mittee rose, when resolutions heretofore
considered, referring various branches Il
appropriate committees, were concurred in
the one relative to the Pacific Railroad b.

GThe ST. Paul Minaeeotian gives an ac-
count of a man named WALTERS, of that
city, who became lost in the Swamps about
ninety miles above St. Anthony. Walters
wandered five days and four nights without
food, accompanied BY his dog. Finally,
calling his dog TO him, he killed it, and tried
to eat its liver, but sickeHcd with his meal.
He laid down to die, and was almost gone
when three men,, who were out looking for
Pine claims, happened to come upon him.
Walters could not walk, his legs being
frozen, and while one started for succor,
two remained with him. 1t WAS five days
before succOr came, a wagon road having 10

From Washington.
Special Dispatches to The N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Jan.


WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Jan. 10.
As Congress seems to be DESTROYS of max
ing clean work in raking out its corruption
| teel it my duty to call public attention to
u little affair in the Senate which needs
ventilation, particularly as pains
have been taken to cover it up and keep it
close.
AT the extra session last year Senator
Benjamin of Louisiana offered a resolution
to print 10000 copies Of the Dred Scott de-
cision at the expense of Government. The
Republican Senators indicated their inten-
and the Democrats, rather than prolong the
session by such a discussion, let the matter
drop.
Another similar resolution was offered
recently to the Senate. and went to he Com
mittee on Printing. The fact was then dis
covered that Mir. Benjamin and some ether
Senators had induced the Senate printer.
without the slightest legal authority, to pay
81 500 for The copyright IF the decision, to
pay $500 for a manuscript copy Of it, and
to expend a good many thousand dollars
more in printing an unauthorized edition.
Having got the printer into this scrape, they
are trying TO get him out OF it at the ex-
pense Of a bankrupt treasury, by passing
through the Senate a resolution to pay for
this illegal and P~artizan transaction. To
do SO, would be a violation of the cUmpen
satlon act, 'or the Died Scot dec ision, is
not a Government document, aud he Sem
ate has no more reason to pay for an edition
of It than it has to pay for an edition Of
Bigier's speech on Kansas, and to allow
that eminent orator 81 500 for the copyright
Of his production. The transaction is q
job, quite as bad in principle as sodfe OF those
which the House is now investigating with
such indignant and edifying virtue.
