The President Looking to the Ohio
Legislature with SOliCitude.


Under date Washington, January .
rMack" writes the following to the Gin
cilRdh Commercial.
THE Ohio Legislature, now IN session,
has an opportunity, seldom presented to
such body for contributing TO the pcace'
and welfare Of the country. IL ought not
TO allow the first week of its session TO pass
without the adoption of resolution in
dOrsing the restoration policy of President
johnson, and plcdging the support of the
people of Ohio to every thing done so far,
by the ChiefEXccutive for the accomplish
ment of the great end he has I'm view-that
of National Unity. In conversation with a
distinguished Western statesman a few days
since. M. johnson expressed great solicitude
respecting ne rieics Of The people Of ohio as
reflected by their State Legislature, and an
uuequivocal Endorsement of his action from
the State that gave him such an overwhelm-
ing majority at the late election would be
most encouraging TO him.
at Is not only the privilege, but the duty,
of the Ohio Legislature TO pass such a reso-
luton Immediately. Let il come from the
Republican side. and the Copperheads will
greatly oblige all concerned by voting
against It. Mr.. johnson doesn't want their
Endorsement now any more than he did in'
the fall of 1864
IL may be all well enough to say that the
President don't want the Democrats in the
Legislature to vote for a resolution indors-
ing his Reorganization policy. No such
resolution can be adopted without their
vote, If it can be adopted with it. The
question is now before Che Legislature, and
we shall scon see whether the majority of
the Republican members will stand by the
President or follow the lead of Sumner,
Stevens, Wade. Schenck & Co.-StatesmdH.

SUNDAY PLACES or AMUsEMENT.--A good
joke is told of Park Benjamin and Henry
Ward Bcecher. On one of their lecturing
expeditions, they happened TO travel in the
same railway car; and getting into conver-
sation about preaching, Beccher invited
Benjamin to come over to Brooklyn some
Sunday morning aud hear him. II do not
know where your mecting-hOusc is said
Bcajanin chow shall find it?' "Oh, .
replied Beecher, ''all you have 10 do Is TO
come over on one of the ferries. and follow
the crowd" II would cOme,n continued
benjamin, "but for one reason "Ah J
what is that ~ asked Beecher. Because
said Benjamin, with merry look of his
eyes, Il make it an inVariable rule never to
go to any place of amusement ON Sunday.

The Dayton JowHol has perpetratcd one
of the best sarcasms ofthe season. Writing
from Columbus, the editor says:
But we have fallen on Republican times,
when public sentiment asserts II restrain
ing moral force that tells even on politicians
which, tO sny the least, is encouraging to
temperance advocates. But improvement
of the moral tone of the cacital since the Re
publicans first obtained control has been
the subject of general commcnt.'
The superior moral tone of the Republic
cans Is good, when we recollect that Hon.
Mr.. Dawes, u Republican member OF Con-
gress from Massachusetts,, confessed that
the stealings under the last Republican ad-
ministration, in single year, were greater
than the whole expenses of Mr.. Buchanan's
administration for the previous four years
Republican morality at Columbus is repre-
sented by A. p. Stone and by DIR. Dorsey.
