JOHN HuREY, Administrator. =
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-04-08

States have organized State Governments In
accordance with the requirements OF the
Constitution, and have taken the oatn as
prescribed in that Constitution, they shall
have no Representatives In Congress.
"General Schenck and Mr.. Bingham were
repeatedly interrupted with applause, ana
altogether they were received in manner
highly complimentary, but such as thelr
services merited."
"The keynote of the campaign In Ohio"
then, is the doctrine which has been put
forth by WHITING, SUMNER, STEVENS, and
other Radicals, that secession was success
full in taking the rebellious States out OF the
Union, and that they must be again regular
ly admitted by Congress, before they will
be entitled to the rights and privileges now
enjoyed by the adhering States. This is in
conflict with the doctrine on that subject
held by the Democratic party, as well as
by large portion of the Administration
party; and we are gratified to find the Re-
publican leaders in Ohio putting it forward
as prominent plank in their Platform for
the approaching campaign. The Gazette
will find that the people will not rally on
that Platform and sweep everything before
them.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-04-08
Pe,tines. /. i'm Legislation.

Notwithstanding the self-evident propo-
sition that where, as was urged in oui
State Senate on Thursday, there is in the
State but one benevolent institution OF
particular class, such institution should be
located at, or near the State Capital, ma
jority in the Senate, if not in the House
seem bent on removing the asylum for
idiots from Columbus. The trustees Of that
institution have already, under authority
from the Legislature, purchased grounds
for site, few miles west of this city
They now ask an appropriation to enable
them to suitably prepare the grounds and
erect the necessary buildings.
For some time past an effort has been
making in the Senate and outside OF 1t, to
remove the Idiotic Asylum to Mount YER
non. A gentleman came down here from
that vicinity, not long since, on that express
business; visited the Senate Chamber, and
made a proposition to sell the State the
Round Hill property, as it is called, owned
by Mr.. CURTIS, the father-in-law OF Senator
DEvIN. The Senate sent committee, who
were accompanied by Senator DEvIN, to
examine the property and report upon its
suitableness for an Idiotic Asylum. The
majority, that is to say, all but one OF the
committee, reported favorably to the pur-
chase of the CURTIS property, and recon-
mended that the State pay $4,000 for 1t.
When the provision in the General Appro-
priation bill, making an appropriation for
the new Idiotic Asylum, came up in the Sen
ate, the question arose whether the Asylum
should be located at Columbus or Mount
Vernon. Several sessionswere almost entire
lytaken upi in discussing this question. AT
length it took the form of an alternative, as
towhether the asylum should remain at Co.
lumbus, or be removed to some other place.
1t was soon evident, from the strenuous
ness with which the removal was sought to
be effected, and the time consumed in urg-
ing it, that the majority had predetermined,
from some petty political spite toward Co
lumbus, or for some other equally absurd
reason, that the asylum should not remain
at the State Capital, whether the State or
the unfortunate class whom the institution
was designed to help, would be benefited or
injured by its removal.
For the nodus operandi of this petty legis-
lation in the Senate, the reader is referred to
our legislative report of Thursday. He
will there see how the majority voted down
the most reasonable and prudent PROPOSE
tions, in order that they might so load the
appropriation for the Idiotic Asylum with
conditions, as to compel its entire abandon
ment or its removal from the State Capital
or its vicinity. And they succeeded SO far
as they had the power. When men, grave
Legislators, will thus yield to the influences
of passion or political prejudice, what may
we not exIe;,?

THE Democracy of Oxford township did
exceedingly well at the late election. They
elected Justice of the Peace, two Trus-
tees, and an Assessor. Last spring they
lost their whole ticket, and last fall they
were beaten about 80 votes. The election
was also pointed rebuke to the member of
the Legislature from this county, Hon.
Joseph Ferrell, who deserted the Demo-
cratic party four years ago. He left his
seat in the House, and worked all day Mon
day to be elected Justice of the Peace in
Oxford township, but he was handsomely
beaten by Robert Armstrong, Esq, one of
the best Democrats Of Guernsey county
