Mr.. West of Logan, introduced a where
as sgThat the following letter, without note
of disapprObation, appeared in The ONO
STATESMAN of the 18th inst:' lic.l A :
Here is quoted the letter from Mr.. Val
landigham to the Dayton Empire, upon the.
occasion of the recent outrage upon that
paper, which appeared in our columns some
days ago.
Resolved By the General assembly or the
State of Ohio, That the 'sreprisals' invoked
therein upon forbearing people for the
acts of an outraged and deeply insulted SOL
diery, is nothing less than an invitation to
| his sympathisers, by pensioned traitor,
subsisting on a disloyal charity, to involve.
the innocent with the offending In indis-
criminate assassinations, burnings and
slaughter.
Resolred, That whilst violence is to be de-
nrecafed. and every facility offered for the
| restraint of disorder by the ordinary tri-
bunals of law. statements which would
shock and revolt the barbarism Of savage
| tribes, merits the adherence and demand
the execration of all who love order, civili-
zation and country, more than rapine, con-
vulsion and anarchy.

demnation of those acts Of violence, this
| General Assembly cannot forbear to express

out that provocation which goes far to pal
lliate resentment that hard though 1t be for
brave MN to brook the scurrillity and In
suits of those for the protection Of whose
| common liberties and common country they
are imperrilling their lives and shedding
their blood, Ohio earnestly counsels her vet
erans to surpass their heroic devotion In
the field by the greater heroism OF forbear-.
ance and moderation under the stings OF
insult from their revilers at home, and to
await the coming sweep Of that popular
Judgment, which sooner or later will over
wheim their traducers beneath the execra-
tions of an indignant people.
Upon motion of Mr.. Willett, the resoli-
i tions were laid on the table for discus
sion.
The committee on Agriculture were
granted leave of absence for tomorrow, to
visit the Farmers College at CINCINNATI
This proposition was discussed for some
time after noon, and 1t appeared from
the discussion that there would scarcely be
i quorum tomorrow in the Senate.
In the House the following House bills
were read the third time and passed: To
prevent persons from avoiding the draft by
making Il a Penitentiary offense; T0amend
the code of Civil Procedure; 10 amend the
