What the Members Of the Ohio
yGseGlslature Might Consider with
Advantage. lou 7''N to1 'l,li' 7'.i ,'i p,
There are undoubtedly, gentlemen in the
Ohio Legislature, belonging to the Repub-
llcan party, who are capable of filling gooo
places in the gin Of the President and il
would certainly not be to their dlscredit t.
apply for some such place. Whether any
Of them have given to the subject any con-
Alteration, We do not know, Perhaps, il
they have no aspirations OF this sort fol
themselves, they would find qualification
inhaying a friend or relative thus cared
for. If what friends Of General ScHENcK
and Mr.. SHERMAN say Of each other is tru,
7r-the truth of which we have no means o.
knOwing---no doubt they could realize
handsomely in money, or Its equivalent, on
their votes for the Senatorship. To do so
would partake somewhat ofcorruption and
would be obnoxious to that charge. Who
ever should sell his vote in this manner
would incur degree of contempt that
would hereafter completely bar him against
political consideration. aa.ia f'f lu 3 rt

and their frlends-a way that will receive
general commendation. That Is to support
no man for the United States Senate
who Is not unmistakably the supporter
OF President JOHNSON in his work Of
Reorganization. A man who says that
it Is immaterial whether the South II
in or out Of the Union, and likens the
South 10 paralyzed limb of the human
frame--is not the supporter, he is the an.
tagonizer, of the Presidents policy. Sup
pose man of this description shall b,
elected, how much influence is he likely t.
exercise with the President in the matter
Of appointments? None, whatever. Tn,
President has staked his reputation fol
credibllity and sagacity on his policy OF
Reorganization, and so long as he holds in
his hands the appointing power, he is very
likely to use it with view of securing tht
triumph Of that policy. 1t is Legitimate,
and has the sanction of usage.
II, therefore, any member of the Legisla-
ture desires an appointment at the hands Of
the President for himself or any friend OF
relative, very little reflection will serve t,
convince him that such an end can alone b,
promoted by his assisting to elect man to
the U. S. Senate who is open aud above
board in his support of President JOHN
SONS Reorganization policy. Having
adopted this common sense conclusion, tht
ngxt.question for him to consider, is, sWhO
Is that an?" Is it General SCHENcK, or j.
itMr. .SHERsiAE, or Mr.. DENN1soN. or Mr..
BINGHAM, or is it somebody who has not
yet been named? --.-.
Ohio having produced the men who led
our armies to the complete overthrow ofthe
military power of the lately insurgent
States it would be an act that would crown
the State with ineffable honor, were the
present Legislature, at the very commence
hientof It's session, to elect to the United
States Senatea man who would give the
influence attached 10 mis- official position,
with the fervor Of religious zeal, In behalf
Of the Presidents Reorganization policy,
accepting it with unfaltering faith as COM
plete, save 10 the matter Of representation,
which should be allowed without further
delay.
The President Looking 10 the Ohio |
bas Legislature with sOIfci1ude.
I Under date Washington, Jan. 2, "MacL"
writes the following to the Cincinnati Com
nlercial: f. o te.sl.s 5..s
1.-The Ohio Legislature, now in session,
has an 10pportunity, seldom presented to
such body, for contributing to the peace
aud welfare of the country. 1t ought not
to allow the first week Of its session to pass
without the adoption of q resolution in
dorslng the restoration policy of President
johnson, and pledgIng the support of the
people Of Ohio 20 every thing done so far,
by the Chief Executive, for the accomplish
ment OF the great end he has In view-that
of National Unity. In conversation with a
distinguished Western statesman q few
days since, Mr.. Johnson expressed great So
licttude respecting the Uiel0s Of the people Of
0hio as reflected By their State Legislature,
and an unequivOcal Endorsement OF his ac-
tion from the State that gave him such an
overwhelming majority at the late election
would be most encouraging to him. 1t is !
not onIythe privilege but the duty OF the /
Ohio Legislature to pass such resolution
Immediately. Let 1t come from the Repub-
lican side, and the Copperheads will greatly
oblige ell concerned by voting against it.
Mr.. johnson doesn't want their indorse-
ment now any more than he did in the fall
Of 1854"
1t may be all well enough to say that the
President don't want the Democrats in the
Legislature to vote for resolution indors-
ing mis- Reorganization policy. No such
resolution can be adopted without their
vote, II it can be adopted with it. The
question ls now before the Legislature, and
we shall soon see whether the majority Of
the Republican members will stand by the
President, or follow the lead Of SUMNER,
STEVENS, WADE, ScHENCK & Co.
Appointments Stopped.
It Is stated on seemingly good authority,
that the. President has forbidden any ap-
pointments to be made on therecommenda-
tiOn of Congressman at present. Should
the question be asked, ~Why this prohibi-
