xxxVI MGR Ess
rIRsr SESSION.

There has been bul very little interest or
importance in Congressional proceedings du-
ring the week. The matter of special interest,
perhaps, was that of an unsuccessful attempt
to elect Printer to the House. Mr.. Defrees
has been withdrawn from the list Of caudi-
dates. and subsequent to his withdrawal there
were several unsuccessful ballots and no print
er has yet been elected.
The eases of contested seats in the House
are under investigation-that of Mr.. Sickles,
contested by Mr.. Williamson, takes the lead.
The Senate Harper's Ferry Investigating
Committe. still drags its slow length along,
eliciting nothing but the fact of the non-eom-
plicity of Northern Republicans and Aboli-
tionists with John Browns raid. Mr.. Hyatt
is disposed to resist the Senate's process, and
thus institute judicial investigation of theil
power to coerce witnesses to testify before

Ovsrmuch Legislation.


Nearly three hundred bills of various kinds
have been introduced into both Houses of the
Ohio Legislature-some of which are of vaIne,
some yalueless, and others. doubtless positive

~ laws were introduced and passed, there
would be great saving in the time, and the
expense of legislation, and the expense ol
Publishing the laws, even in newspapers,w would
not be very bardensome. s
The last Ohio Legislature passed over two
hundred laws at an expense to the State oi

number had been passed, the people would
have been better served, and vast saving in
