OF the noted +. L. VS.. Although small
in statute he is a giant in intellect, in
the estimation of some, and he certainly
thinks himself "some." The intrepid
chief touched off the machine in the
midst Of a full house. The report was
tremendous lin Lengthy and although
every person present was terribly bored,
| have heard of no deaths yet. The in
tended victim, Gov. Chase, was temporari-
ly relieved by the prompt and energetic
action of Mr.. Van Worries mot an NJ. D.
but an L. l.. d. @ho prepared a pre-
scriPlion. whioh. if carefully followed by
the Govetnor may prolong his usefulness
q While, but he is evidently destined 10
2rag out a miserable political existence.
There is however another version of
the affair which is as follows.
"Mr. Brooke, N leave, presented a re-
port from the committee on Federal Re-
l%ations, upon that part of the Governors
message referring to the federal govern
menl, accompanied by the following joint
resolution:
RESOLVED, By tile General assembly of
the State@ Ohio, That as the Represen-
~tatives of lie public sentiment of the
State upon political questions, DESTROYS as
We are that her reputation for loyalty,
honor and intelligence should stand high
in the esteem of our sister States, and of
her own offensive heartily ~disapprove
Of the expressions of the Hon. S. P.
Chase, our Governor, in his late message
upon The subject of national politics and
our federal relations, and hereby repudi-
ale them as misrepresenting the true SEN
timen,s of a large majority Of our peo-
pie.
Mr.. Briggs was unwilling that so i'm
portsnt 4 State paper should be lost to
posterity, and in order 10 immortalize
himself, by having his name tackled on the
tail of it a, the author of a motion, as
well as to confer a favor upon generations
yet unborn, and preserve So able a pro-
duction, he would move that The author of
the report be requested TO furnish q copy
70 the Secretary of State, to be preserved
in the public archives.
Mr.. Brooke moved to lay the unhappy
wriggle Of the gentleman on the table.
Mr.. Van Worries moved 10 amend the
report by striking out the resolution, and
inserting the following:
That the Governor be and he is hereby
requested 10 change or Withdraw the OBJ
n~oxious Suggestions referred 10 it the fore
going report.
Said amendment was agreed to, and
the resolution adopted.
Mr.. Andrews moved that the report be
laid on the table and printed.
Mr.. Plants hoped the gentleman would
have SOM, regard for the Governors
feelings. He would feel bad if he ever
got to read that report.
Mr.. Andrews motion was then agreee
70.
The whole affair was as near the sum-
nit OF the ridiculous, 81 could well De i'm
agined, and was viewed in that light, by
many if not a large majority who heard
it, even one of the committee who signed
the report, says he had been logged for
three or fur weeks. before he would con-
sent 10 do 50, and was sorry enough he
had ever done it. 1t was remarked by
a prominen. Democrat, that it was like a
Sc. TOO, between a pigmy and a giant.
Tie resolution Of Mr.. Van Worries is
sufficient to show how the matter was
looked upon by the House "Alas! poor"
Somebody.
The consideration Of the bill for the
sale Of the Pablic Works, is made the
order for Tuesday Of next week;
The bill is drawn with a great deal of care
and the interests of the State are well
guarded. | have some hopes the bill
will pass, and | am told by those who
pretend 10 know, that there will not be
much trouble in finding purchasers; YET
of this, | am no, fully convinced.
The "Sub-Treasury" has been going
through the ordeal in the Senate, but, has
been entirely Gin the hands of its friends"
for not an amendment: nor a suggestion
was made by any Republican. There
were some thirty amendments, made :
among them, the special clause was strick
en- out, and treasurers permitted to re-
good notes Of any other States for
So from present appearances we
will have another instance of a mountain !
producing a mouse. The bill and amend i
were reiered 10 u select committee
Of seven. {
