Legislative visit.

The visit OF the Ohio Legislature to this
place on last Saturday, to view sites pro
posed by the people of Licking county for
the location of the contemplated Agricul-
tural College, was most pleasant and
agreeable affair throughout. Everything
passed off in admirable order, without a
single incident, from beginning to end, to
mar the pleasures of the day. Indeed it
was feature long to be remembered for its
pleasant associations, whether the object
sought to be obtained was accomplished or
not. We have reason to believe that both
members and citizens, guests and enter
tainers, were equally delighted with the
interview, and interchange of kindly greet
ings, We will not attempt detailed ac-
count of the proceedings of the day, as that
has been so admirably done, on behalf of
the guests, by our friend Layman, of The
STATESMAN, which will be found in full
elsewhere. And for the kindly manner,
and complimentary terms, in which he
speaks OF their reception, we know we but
express their united wishes, when in be-
halt of the people OF Newark and Gran
Vile, and of Licking county, we tender
him, and the members of the Legislature
who honored us with their presence on this
occasion, their most hearty thanks.-Nelo-
ark Advocate, March l6.

Thc,,oLegI.IIntn,re.

The members Of the Legislature are re-
turning to the city, and both branches will
be Ia session again this afternoon. We
trust they had pleasant time at home
among their constituents during this ad-
jOurnment and that they are refreshed and
inyigorated for the remaining duties of the
session. They are expected to 60 on an
other excursion the last of this week, and
be handsomely entertained in Cincinnati,
as will be seen by the following paragraph
which we clip from the Enquirer of Sunday !;
During the meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday, 1t was announced
that the committee OF the Ohio Legislature
on Agricultural Colleges would visit Gin
cinnati on Saturday next to examine the
sites I'm aud near this city for the founda-
ton Of an Agricultural College,. lmmedi-
ately upon this announcement being made,
a motion was made and carried unanimous
ly TO extend an invitation to every member
of,fhe 0hi0 Legislature 70 visit CINCINNATI
on that lag and partake Of the hospitalities
OF the city at the hands Of the Chamber.
Il was then ordered that the President OF
the Chamber appoint a committee to CON-
Vey the invitation to the Legislature, and
make the necessary arrangements for their
reception.

Arre,,, ,o1 : suppo.ed Incendiary


Officer Thomas Davis yesterday arrested
a man. and lodged him in the city prison on
suspicion of having, on Sunday night, set
fire to a: building on High street, near the
Capital University, occupied by Mr.. Rice,
German. The circumstances that led to
the arrest, as detailed to us, are substantial
ly these. .,,.s.oe. ,vyr,ga
The individual arrested came into Rice's
store on Sunday evening, dressed in SOL
dier's clothes and wanted to stay there all
night. He appeared to have been drinking
hard. Rice told him he could not keep
him. as he did not make a practice of keep
ing anybody over night. AS he persisted
in remaining till a late hour, and would not
leave on request, MIR. Rice put him out Of
doors. As he went out the stranger said to
Rice that he would '.smoke him out" and
threw several stones at the building.
The obstreperous individual then called
at Schweigerts,. nearly opposite, and made
the same request for a lodging for thenlghs
but was refused.
About three O'Clock yesterday morning,
Rice's building was discovered TO be on fire,
evidently the work OF an incendiary. With
the aid Of the soldiers at the Barracks, the
Ere was ektipghishsd before much damage

Police Court.

Two individuals, arrested for drunken
ness, were arraigned before the Mayor yes-
terday morning, and fined each $3and costs
and committed. .l.
It is rather curious circumstance that
of late, as general rule, no violators of
law are brought before the Mayor but such
as have neither money nor friends to help
them, and consequently have to be sent to
the city prison, the chain-gang or the coun-
ty Jail.

This company ranks high amongst the
lite corporations of the day. 1t is a rising
company of remarkable energy and vigor,
and although but in the second year OF its
establishment, its progress is distinguished
by the most unchequered success. Its issue
of policies within given time has been
greater in number than many of the older
companies, and it now enjoys all the ad-
vantages of the increasing disposition OF
the people of the States to enter upon life
insurance. disposition which, by its un-
ceasing activity, it has largely contributed
to promote - TT ~
The principles upon which the company
is based are of the most liberal character,
and the tables of mortality In use are those
most indulgent to the insurant, and found
ed upon calculation of increased longev-
ity. The company has also adopted the
n-forfeiting clause, by which the cruel
system of canceling policy for non-ful-
filment after many years of payment is re-
iected, so that now, if after three years in
surance an insurant is unable to continue
the payment of his premiums, his policy is
exchanged for one insurlng his life, for the
full amount that he may have contributed
in premiums, upon which no further pay
ment is demanded.
These generous maXims5 have not been
unacknowledged. 1t has led to great In

The Columbus Morning Journal runs up TO
the head oi tsiocaI column the ticketnom-'
mated at the City Hall on Saturday by a
few Republicans Of the anti JoHSsoN per-
suasioip2. Editorially, 1t says nothing about
the ticket; but it does give place to the
lecture delivered by Hon. wLLIAM d.
KELLEY at Philadelphia on last Thursday,
IA which President JOHNSON is seandalous-
l2 abused. Political literature Of this sort
finds ready reproduction in the columns Of
atjonrnal, and in the absence OF editorial
shows precisely how the editors stand af-
fected towards the President. Their jour-
nal zing is designed to give nourishment
ana strength to the STEVENS and SUMNER
politIcs, which President JOHNSON has held
up to public reprobation as dangerous to
Union and the Republican theory
Of the Government as armed rebel
lion or revolution If therefore, the
ticket nominated on Saturday shall re-
csiye large vote, the journal will
herald it as protestof the people Of this
cIty against the President. 1t will, in
fact. be susceptible of the construction
that the men who voted for that ticket
voted to indorse the vile ISLANDERS Of the
Radical press, that President JOHNSON has
shown himself unworthy the confidence Of
the people, because he has had the courage
TO withstand the importantly OF the bold
bad men who usurp the leadership in his
party, to trample under foot the Constitu-
ton Of the United States, and give his coun-
tenance to a line of policy which will
necessarily exasperate instead OF pacify
the Southern people. '1s. ..'i-
