You must know that here we get the news

| AN AGREEABLE FLANK MOVEMENT.
Secretary Seward, having learned tina
the House Committee on Foreign AT
fairs contemplated making formal cal
upon him to-day, anticipated them by in
viting them to State dinner tomorrow
evening.
HORACE MAYNARD's VIEWS.
Horace Maynard being asked what he
thought of the prospects of the Tennessee
delegation since the last action of the
House, said he thought Thad. Stevens had
the whole Southern Confederacy in his
breeches pocket, and meant to keep it
there for good while.
HON. THOMAS coR*iN STRUCK WITH PAR
ALYsIs.
A brilliant assemblage of Ohioans were
entertained this evening at the State Mil
itary Agency. In the upper room, where
he had been keeping the company in a
roar with his lively sallies of wit, Hon.
Thomas Corwin, Ex-Governor, ex-Secre-
tary of the Treasury, ex-senator and late
Minister to Mexico, while in the midst of
humorous anecdote, was struck with
paralysis of the right side. Senator Wade
and Gen. Garfield, who were beside him,
caught him as he was falling and carried
him to bed. He is now lying Unable to
speak and apparently in a critical condi-
ton, but is still entirely conscious. The
Cher Justice, Gen. Sherman, Senator
Sherman and other prominent Ohioans
are watching at his bedside.

Explosion.
The steamer De Soto, hence for Pssca-
roua, exploded her boiler, killing four,
scalding four and wounding the pilot and

Legislative.
In the Legislature a bill was introduced
providing twenty thousand dollars for dis
abled Federal and Confederate soldiers.
Cotton and Sugar.
The cotton crop in the parish Of Natcha-
taches, Louisiana, amounts to four hun
dred dollars all told. In Terra Boune
parish the cotton and sugar yield was very
small.
AT Mexican Affairs.
An old and estimable citizen near Orleans
who returned from Matamoras few days
ago, and who was intimate with French
affairs, says that they anticipate war between
the United States and France, and that it
would commence on the Rio Grande. They
also have the campaign mapped out, which
anticipated the sudden crosNn Of the Rio
Grande by the United States troePs. They
will abandon Matamoras and the Rio
Grande and fall back on Monterey, which
will be held,,as strategic key. The French
officers seemed to be well informed as to all
she means the United States haYe at their
disposal in T0xas for an advance into Mex
leo.

Congressional Laziness.

The present Congress is certainly taking
its work very easily. 1t had only just got
organized when it set bad precedent by
adjourning over from Wednesday to Mon
day. Last week the Senate adjourned
over from Thursday to Monday, and we
observe concurrent resolution for ad-
journing both Houses of Congress from
the goth inst. (next Wednesday, to the
ninth of January-an unprecedentedly
long Christmas vacation. We are glad to
see that this resolution was opposed by a
very respectable minority, numbering Sc,
among whom was the Representative of
this District, Hon. R. P. Spalding. We
have taken the trouble to count the num-
Der of days which the Senate will have
been in session during the thirty-eigb bt
between the opening of the term and the
ninth of January, to which they have ad-
jeurned, and find that the working-days
of this month and more will sum up Just
ten. If this style Of doing business be
continued, we expect to see the session
end somewhere about the latter part Of
next November.

Ohio idiot AsYIuTn.

We find in the Columbus Journal an
article Of much interest on the movement
for the instruction of idiots, from which
we CLEAN some important facts. DR.. WIN.
NJ. Awl first called the attention of the
American people to the Importance of this
work, in a speech before a meeting of the
Medical Superintendents of American In
stitutions for the Insane, at Philadelphia,
in 1874.
In 1858 the matter was brought before
the Ohio Senate by Hon. Pinckney Lewis
and DR.. s. H.Smith was appointed topre-
pare a report. Governor Medill called
attention to the subject in his message,
and DR.. N. S. Townsend, of Lorain, sub
hnitted a report in favor of founding in
stitutiOns for that purpose. In 1881 Hon.
Herman Garfield, of Medina, introduced
bill to carry out this object, which be-
came law, and its author was made one
of the trustees under it. A building and
grounds were leased in Columbus, and
the institution commenced with sixteen
pupils, one from each judicial district, DR..
]. R. Patterson acting as Superintendent.
In 1859 the number was increased 70
thirty, and in 1862 to fifty. In 1860 DR..
Patterson resigned and was succeeded by
DR.. Doren, the present Superintendent.
DR.. N. S. Townsend has been member
of the Board of Trustees since the estab-
lishment Of the institution. Peter Hitch
cock, who was chairman of the House
committee on the institution, became
Trustee in 1851, and j. R. Lutz, the other
member Of the Board, was appointed in
lse2.
There are now forty-two pupils, two of
these being original members who entered
in 1857. They are from all parts of the State.
The youngest is eight years of age and
the Oldest nineteen. There are two school
rooms, and two female teachers. Twenty
two Of the pupils have learned to read and
write, and sixteen of the others read
short sentences and are learning to write.
Seven deaths have occurred
In is6i the State purchased $50 acres
of land one mile west of Columbus, as
site for new building, whichis now being
constructed, the werk having been begun
on the 18th of August last. 1t is designed
to complete it by next fall. The plan of
the structure is main building with two
wings, with an entire front of two hun
dred and ffty-two feet, four stories high.
The main building is sixty-six feet long
by one hundred and one feet in depth.
The height of the main tower will be
one hundred and sixteen feet, the brick or |
stone work to extend Lightweight feet |
The side elevation will be one hundred |
and sixty-eight feet in length. The build |
ing when complete will have twenty dor
with two sick rooms and a bath |
room upon each floor of each wing for |
each set, and with requisite school rooms,
exercise rooms, &c, to accommodate three
hundred pupils.
