Most Of the time of the House is taken
up in the discussion Of the anegro. -
There are about twenty bills before the

free negroes for Ginning into the State,

Last night the dead Hatulency of this
intolerable nuisance was broken by q
scene of unusual ). interest. A large
number of petitions ON /" Womans 8
Rights" have been presented during the
session and referred to the appropriate
Committee. One of these petitions, fifty
two feet in length, and asking, in addi-
ton to the usual prayer ON the suBjsct,
that the petitioners might, be heard in
support of their petition. This was
granted, and last night appointed for the
hearing. The Committee met in the
Senate chamber, which was crowded to
its utmost capacity, and many we're
obliged to leave for want Of faccess, When
the House was called to order, Mrs,
Jones, of Salem, Columbiana. County.
proceeded to address the Committee
upon the subjects embraced in the me
MORALS.
Mr.. Jones is lady of medium, OF

with decidedly masculine st5lg Of fss-
lures and mental organization, Her
address lacked somewhat of the Literary
finish of the first, btt was direct, cor

Cutler on the stump, We would bet on
the candidate whose claims she might
advocate, regardless of party majorities
Mrs. Frances D. Gage followed in a
short but exceedingly appropriate ex-
temporaneous address. She come pre-
pared to discdss the subject at length,
but from the lateuess 0f the hour, with
great good sense, she declined to do So.
From her long connection with the Ohio
