lie stated that the annual cost to the State was
from s4s 900 to $4,000; and proceeded to give
sundry reasons why his bill should be passed.
As this is q subject of interest both TO the press
and the people, 1 shall give you brief synOP-
sis Of this discussion on another occazion.- =
This ill will elicit considerable discussion.
Tbs bill Of Mr. Brewer, No. 26, which pro-
vides that habitual drunkenness and riOtOus
reallessness in the management Of property
belonging to q defendant, which may tend to
impair or rprejudice the claims of creditors, shall
be an additional ground for issuing attachment;
frst requiring the plaintiff, however, to make
oath that the defendant is notoriously intem-
perate, neglects his business, &c. and that
claims of creditors would be prejudiced by de.
| lays, was passed without amendment.
The two bills TO authorize the City of Ham.
ilton to borrow money, and No. 25 10 amend the
/ Code Of Civil Procedure, were also passed
without amendment.
The Committee then rose and reported to
| Senate.
The Printing Bill was discussed at some
considerable length, and was finally referred to
the Committee on Judiciary, and will be re.
ported upon tomorrow. The other bills UeIe
also appropriately referred.
HoUsE.-A large number Of bills were istro.
duced, and several bills wer3 read first and
second times. Among the bills were one by Mr..
Rees of Morrow, to provide for the Agricul-
tural Fund by q system of licensing dogs By
Mr. McSchooleT, providing for more equitable
distribution of the School Fund; by Mr.. Mona
han, to encourage Teachers Institute; one
fixing the first day of September next after
their election as the time for the commence
ment Of the duties Of County Auditors.
The Committee to whom was referred the
bill providing for the return, by County Audi.
tors, to the Auditor of State, abstracts of their
duplicates, every sixth year, instead of the
duplicates themselves as now, recommended its
passage. There was some discussion upon the
subject, pro and con. The bill was finally
ordered to be engrossed and read third time.
It was stated that under the present system,
the expense of the duplicates to the State is
about $4,000; but under that proposed would
only be about So to each county. Other bust
ness was transacted, and at IL NJ the House
took a recess
! Ihe Cincinnati Enquirer, Q day or two since,
was considerably horrifed at the degeneracy OF
the patriotic spirit of these times as manifested
| in the fact that Gov. Dcnnison was advertised
to ride to the State House on the occasion Of
Inauguration in a carriage GTGl1R By four
| horses. Several other virtuous Democratic
sheets were also similarly affected. Jefferson
and Madison did not do "sieh" things as this.
TITO f,rIIIrr RODE up to the National Capitol on
an old sorrel mare, tied the venerable animal TO
a dilspidated post in front of that imposing
| Federal structure, and having taken the oath to
support the Constitution and the Union, rode
off in magnificent Democratic style How Mr..
Madison got to the Capitol history is sadly
deficient in stating. This omission on the part
of contemporsneous Democratic writer's
shows q lamentable disregard of the feel
ings of posterior" Democracy. How
ever, it may ease the alarmed and outraged
patriotism of the Enquirer and its kindred, to
know that Governor Dennison was not drawn
to the Capitol by four chooses" As the caval.
cade was about to start, two of the horses, as
| if understanding the horror to be oecasiOned
among Democrats by the "deep damnation of
their going on, positively refused to GO! They
were Embarrassed, and the Governor was
drawn to the Capitol by two horses only. The
Union is therefore safe. ALLIFOoTE.
