Senator Gari.Id,

Hon. J. A. GARFIELD, is already taking 6
high stand in the Senate of Ohio. We pre-
dict that at the close of the session, in al
that pertains to ability, faithfulness. industry
Senatorial dignity and usefulness. his reputa-
ton will be second to that of no other mem
ber of the Senate. A Columbus correspon-
dent of the cleveland Leader, writing under
date of Jan. 9th, says:
In few brief remarks in the Senate this
morning, Prof. Garfield of Portage, created
an impression exceedingly favorable to his fu-
ture standing here. He will be an earnest and
hard-workiug member.
The Columbus correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial says:
Mr.. Garfield will prove one of the twenty
four Founders of the Senate. As yet he has
cnly manifested himself slightly, but that little
was directly to the purpose.

The Ohio State Journal gives brief ac-
count of the proceedings and closes in these
words:
Let it not be supposed that the proceedings
of which the above are brief minutes, were
carried on with decorum, and that decency
which should characterize body of gentle
men. The whole was done amidst the widest
excitement, aud most discraceful action, being
q sacriege upon decency and unworthy any

The Ohio senatorship- Republican Caueus at
Columbus.

Last Wednesday evening, general caucus
of the Republican members of the Legisla-
ture, was held in the Representatives Cham
Der. Seventy-four members were present and
nine absent, of whom four were Senators and
FIVE Representatives. The Senators were
Messrs. Harrison. Jones, Cuppy and Ready
who are anti-Chase men. OF the five Repre-
sentatives, four are for Chase, and one IN
known.
Giving an account of this caucus, the Co.
lumbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
merciat says.
Members differed in their views respecting
the disposition of the Senatorial question
whether it should be settled Immediately or
be postponed week, or to the end of the ses
sion. A few were favorable to an immediate
election. A majority urged brief delay out
of courtesy to conservative Republicans. and
one or two suggested the wisdom of postpone
ment until the end of the session. but none
advocated an extra session for the election
Conservative Republicans generally expressed
objection to an immediate election, freely, but
intimated their readiness to vote for the Cau-
Gus nominee, and also impressed upon the
Caucus the necessity for caution and moderate
action. The strong Gbase men did not desire
to force an election, but insisted upon posi-
tive decision of the question within reason
able period, say six weeks. The regularity OF
the call of the caucus ives questioned, and
some influential friends of Gov. Chase favored
an adjournment until next Wednesday night,
to go fully into the question and decide def
Bitely upon action at that or some future time,
so that no member could frame an excuse from
absenting himself from caucus for alleged in
formality in the call. During the meeting,
various resolutions fixing time to nominate,
were discussed, laid on the table and intro
duced again. But finally the caucus adjourn
ed to meet next Wednesday night, to dispose
of the matter. This settles the early election
of Gov. Chase No ordinary event will pre-
vent it. At leaet seventeen Senators will vote
for Chase on the first ballot, and the balance
will acquisece, and not more than half dozen
members of the House favor any other candi-
date. If thirteen opposed to Chase could be
found he would still be elected

The aoyernor,a Ms.saea.

We lay before our readers, this week, the
last Message Of Governor Chase, and like all
similar documents that have emanated from
his pea, it is a finished, able and statesmanlike
production.
With thorough, assiduous and laborious at
tention, he has studied into all the minute de.
tails of State affairs, and in clear aud in
structive manner presents the workings and
the wants of legislation.
The Message is succinct and valuable
compend Of State affairs. and deserves to be
read and studied by every citizen.
He but briefly alludes to National affairs,
bat with words well chosen, he gives utterance
to manly, digniied patriotic statements which
should find response in the breast of every
citizen.
The Administration of Gov. Chase has been
one of distinguished success and honor. By
his wisdom, ability and laborious research and
he has rescued the Gubernatorisl
office of Ohio from positive insignifcaDce; and
given to it consequence. dignity and an in
auence, vastly beyond anything to which it
had attained in the hands of any of his prede
cessors-and it is now no longer said as for
merly in dsrision, that the powers of the
Governor of Ohio are principally confined to
signing the commissions of Justices of the
Peace. and granting pardons to Peuitentiary
Convicts" he is the 6rst Chief Magistrate of
Ohio, who has uDfolded the great responsible
ity, influence and usefulness of the Executive
ofice-an Office which he leaves with the
plaudit of "weIl done good and faith
full servant"
1t is mach to be hoped that the great abili
ties of this accomplished statesman, this hen
est man, may yet be called into the higher
service of bis country.

dispensed wilh-the administration of county
affairs may he entrusted TO one man instead OF
maM,-a saialI oligarchy. or even oae abso
late despot may dispense laws --,he entire
newspaper press may be ignored, or wholly
proscribed--no public record of edicts for the
gopsrnmeat of the people may be n,ade-and
not ripple @: public intelligence may be made
upon the saeoth surface Of complacent iguo
rance
If, however, intelligence and liberty are to
be preferred TO ignorance and despotism,
something Of pecuniary expenditure and per
senal sacrifice must be granted to secure the
advantages of freedom. free institutions and
general intelligence.
What we have written is designed to have
no personal bearing upon any individual pub
lie functionary. and least of all upon our es
teemed friend, and excellent Representative,
Mr. Stedman. We are of the opinion, how
ever, that he has not duly considered his pro
posed bill. in all its bearings.
We close by saying, that it is our individu-
al hope and trnst, that if any change is made
in regard to the publication of the laws. that
the bill proposed by Mr.. Hills may be passed
and our wish is inAaenced, in large de
gree, by the desire to relieve the press from
the apparent attitude of patronage seeking,
which odious attitude. inconsiderate gentle
men are too apt urjustly, to give it
If it is not important enough to the peo-
pie of the State, to have the laws published
in the newspapers, to incur the expense of
such publication, then, by no means let the
expense be incurred.

FRIDAY. Jan. 6.
SHNATE-Mr. Harrison reported his bill "to
prevent the setting on foot of military expe-
ditions in Ohio against the territory or people
of any of the United States
Mr.. Monroe thought there was good reason
for delay upon bills upon which there is likely
to be difference.
Mr.. Jones asked if this would not be good
time to discuss this bill.
Mr.. Garfield objected to passing the bill be
cause it is unnecessary and would be con-
fession that the people of Ohio are encourag-
ing expeditions &c. against sister States. He
could not consent to any such imputations up
on the people Of this State TIE bill is with
out explanation, and may convey an erroneous
impression. He was therefore unwilling to
have it thrust upon the Senate without delib-
eratien, and therefore hoped it would be re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
Mr.. Harrison was willing to refer it, pro-
vided it should be made the special order of
to-day.
The bill! was committed to committee of
three.
On motion of Mr.. Garfield, so much of the
Governors message as referred to the geolog-
ical survey of the State was referred to select
committee of three.
Messrs. Garfield, Collins and Portage were
appointed select committee, to whom was
referred that portion Of the Governors mes
sage referring to the Geological Survey.
HoUsE.-Iu Committee of the Whole,
81. B. No. /: Introduced by Mr.. Stedman
of Portage, was taken up and read. Its OBJ
ject is to repeal an act prescribing the duties
of judges of elections in certain cases, and to
preserve the purity of elections.
Mr. Jones. of Hamilton, moved to strike
out all after the enacting clause.
Mr.. Stedman thought the law was generally
and useless. The amendment was
not agreed to, and motion to pass the bill
was lost.
On motion, the committee arose and repor-
ted the bill without amendment.
