1t occasionally happens, says the Indi-
ana Journai, that when malicious men
mean to be very insocnt they prove to be
very ignorant too, but it rarely happens
that they show il so ludicyouslv as did the
Senate of Ohio recently, in resolution in
tended to convey an open insult to Gov
ernor Chase. The Senate, il will be re-
'nenibcrcl, is Democratic body, and feel
ing that the party had been considerably
damaged by tic recent exposures ofTrcas-
ury frauds, and especially by the fact that
their own state officers were cognizant of
the frauds, and vet did not prevent or di-
vnlge them, it seems that they resolved to
try AMI catch Governor Chase in 4 similar
delinquency, and thus shut the moths OF
the Republicans. They sought do do this
ny calling for report exposing certain
populations. which has been male. and
which they had got an ilca the Governor
hal suppressed. So they passed the fol-
lowing most grossly insulting resolutions:
Resotred, That the Governor be request
ed to inform the Senate, at his earliest
convenience. whether he has had in his
possession since the month of April, 1853,
official knowledge that a fr@ud to the
mount of $4,000 existed in the stocks
feportei tn the State Treasury for the pre-
ended security of the circulating notes of
the Sandusky City Bank: and why, if
such information has been in his possess
ion lie has withheld knowledge of the
frand from the Legislature and from the
public.
Resoired. That the Governor Of Ohio
he required to communicate L, this body.
without further delay, a copy Of the report
made to him by w. o. Collins, Esq,
Special Examiner of the Treasury, which
report has been heretofore suppressed.
To this the Governor sent the follow
ing crushing. smashing reply. 1t is very
short. bnt little bullet will kill a mighty
hig fool. Read il and sec how these DEM
ocratic vipcrs bit file of the very hardest
and raspiest kind:
STATE OF Ono. EXECUTIVE DErAnr.,)
Columbus, March Both, 1859.
TO the Senate:
received yesterday, but not in time for
an answer before your adiorn.ncnt, the
following resolutions adopted by your
honorable body.
See resolutions published above. a
la answer to the first clause of the first
resolution, l beg leave to state that have
no information in respect to the subject
matter of your inquiry, except what is CON
tanned in the report of WIN. O. Collins.
special examiner of the Treasury sent to
the Senate for the information of the Gen
eral Assembly on the 10th of April. 1858,
and printed in the appendix to the Senate
Journal, pages 253 and 271 inclusive, to
which l respectfully refer yuu
The latter clause of the first resolution.
and the whole of the second. are ex expressed
in language which, i am sure, your hon
orable will. upon reflection, ragar,l as un-
suited to intercourse between the Senate
and the Executive. The respect due the
people who have entrusted to me the Chief
Magistracy of the State must forbid any
reply to either. (Signed)
s. p. CHASE.
The fraud they thought had been con-
cca'ed and the report which they charged
IN most insulting language had been sup
pressed. were all made public long ago,
and the report was printed in tie journals
.f their oea 5odytf Were ever set OF
'camps SO neatly demolis ished. or their ie-
'orancc SO dansngingly exposed? Those
Democrats had better try again. Chase is
wonderfully apt to know what be is
bout. and State Hou6e fnll Of Dem
'crats IS no match for him.
