The municipal and County election last Monday
here resulted Slightly advantageous to the Demo
cratic party,
y prisoner attempted to escape from Camp Chase
last wccl. by means that showed the presence Of
spies even in our State Capital. Col. Granville
Moody observing ii rather famiharlooking 'strang-
lcr" passing rapidly out of the prison, arrested
him, and demanded his pass. The stranger -
produced one, written one Of the blanks used al
the Governors ollcc tur that purpose signed by
the Governor, and countnrsigncd by Col. Moody.
This gentleman immediately pronounced the pass a
forgery, called the steward of the Prison, who i'm
mediatcly recognized hun as one Of the rebel Off
GERS. He was, much to his chagrn, remanded to
his prison nstanter, there to lament the illsucccss
of his ingenious experiment. The officials are
now exercising themselves to discover by whose
agency the peculiar paper upon which the pass
written was obtained from the Governors Of
fee.
The celebrated Camp Chasc resolutions, the
discussion of which is said tc have cost the State
five thousand dollars, receive the signature Of the
Speaker of the House. and was sent into the Sen

a wall of protestation by Mr.. Flagg.
The Senate authorized the Governor to dcfray
from the milar. contingent fund the travelling ex-
peuses of volunteer ma nurses 10 the scat of any
extra rlnary carnage or epidemic.
The Committee ON Finance to whom was sub
nitted the question of an adjourned session, made
elaborate report declaring that, while in time OF
peace legislative sessions oftencr than biennially
We're unnecessary, now, during the existence Of a
war; while great and p'portnnt cvcnts are transpr-
ing unforeseen cxigcncies may arise, which will
demand immediate and prompt legislation, and for
which now no provision can be made. These, with
other important considerations, seem to indicate
the necessity Of an extra session.
An amendment to a previous bill was adopted
by the Senate, authorizing County Auditors TO re-
ccive the notes Of the Seneca County Bank in pay
ment of taxes,
The bill appointing pay agents to the Ohio Vol
unteers has passed both Houses, and is now law

wounded Ohio soldiers.
The Committee on Federal Relations made
lengthy report on the various questions submitted
to thcn including those relating the rebellion ano
slavery. In regard to the latter, tic COMMITTEE
deemed it unadvisabie to recommend ANY actor
upon it for the present fer il was oo late now L
discuss the old issues, and too soon to determine
the new ones, and that the people Of Ohio had full
confidence that the Administration would contnu,
to treat it with wisdom and prudence. The Com
nIittee would, therefore, recommend the postpone
mcnt of its consideration until the second Monday
in January, 1868.
On Saturday a report was made from the Com
mittee on Federal Relations declaring it inexpedi

Thus the Legislature drags its slow lengtl
along, with no seeming intent but to employ tima
and GIL their pockets. The members perform onl,
a nominal amount of business, aud move through
that with hstlessness that is a disgrace to tLei
character and positions. If they intend to do N
more work, why in the name Of patient aut
abused people do Mt they so home? INDEX.
