1.-The above bill, which originated in the Senate
and was framed by Judge Key, has passed both
uJuses. or its passage, in the lower House We
have the following description from the correspon-
dent of the Cleveland Herqli 5rrr5gr
The great Woman's Rights bill which has agi-
satod the strong-minded women Of the State, and
caused no little discussion in these Halls this win
ter, came up Cor the third reading, and all drop
ped their other duties 70 watch its progress. Ladies
had cOme'in to hear learned arguments, aud lobby
men on all subjects suspended their specialities,
and gave heed to the great question. ,- ...tl
1t was the stiffness which precedes the storm
and the ouinous warming sounds r'the listener
held his breath TO hear.?'9 Tho marriage relation
was to undergoa legal change, the long cherished
notions of carly days we're to modified or wiped
Reckless and impsovident husbands were
to be guarded against, and the hearth stone saved
10 the mother Of children. '7s a...f ..lT
But what was our surprise when the Speaker
put the question, Shall the bill pass y no, a
speaker came to the floor. p Not nm explanation
was REQUIRED. The roll wnss called and the bill
passed by a vote Of CT in its favor. The commit

The final passage, Of, Judge Keys .Woman's
Rights bill yesterday, was one of the most impoi-
tant acts Of the present Legislature, and will be-
everywhere hailed as one of the most bene6oent
results Of modern legislation. q And just here /
am tempted to do what I suppose The Organs"
would calha very limpplitici thing, to wit: praise
the ve+y able Democrat, (as-well, by the way, as
in veterate old bachelor,) to whom the women Of
obio, owe this measure, Of tardy justice. 10 a
bodyawilh an OEerwhelming party majority against
him, Judge Keyhas by his evident fairness, bis
ability, and his freedom from partisan
rejadiees yonffa most aatlering position and com
manding influence. Democrat though he is, we
could better afford to spare several OF the Repub-
from our Senate, thansJadge Key. 'iu.tn

If the General Assembly exercises greater infu-
than Judge Key upon his associates of both |
political parties, and none has more distinguished I
himself in the promotion Of beneficial legislation. ,
