House Resolutions, 5y Mr. Beer

House Resolutions, BY Mr.. Beer
WHEREAS, Complaints have been mad Q
through one of the newspapers OF
the State against G. e. Howe. Act.
ing Commissioner of the Ohio Re.
form Farm and School, charging him
with extravaganza and favoritism in
making contracts and purchases for
said Farm and School: Therefore,
ReSoIred, That the Committee on
Reform School and Idiotic Asylum, be
required TO investigate said charges.
and mako report of the result of such
investigation to this House at as early
day as practicable.
ReSolUed, That said committee be
authorized TO visit said Farm and
School, and empowered to send for
persons and papers.
Your committee, upon It's annual
visit to said Farm. proceeded to the
investigation by issuing a subpoena
for W. E Baker, the Editor Of the
Ohio Eagle, that being the paper in
which the charges against Mr.. Howe
appeared, sending to the Editor a note,
the following of which is copy:
"REFoRM FARM, Feb. Z, '67.
I" W. e. Baker, Esq The investi.
eating committee sends summons for
you to appear and leaves blanks to
be filled up with such names as you
suggest to the Sergeant.at arms, the
bearer, who in your opinion should be
examined to sustain the charges pre-
ferred against Mr.. Howe.
"Rcspectfully,
(Signed) ~. g. RUTTER, Sec.
The blanks in the subpoena were fill.
ed, at Mr.. Bakers ggestion, with the
names Of Edison B. Olds, Michael Steck,
George Denton, Henry Orman and
Jesse Anderson. They appeared be-
fore and were examined by the Com.
mittee, and their testimony Is hereby
appended, over their signatures.
At the request of Mr.. Howe, large
number of the prominent business
men of Lancaster were examined by
the comm ittee, whose testimony is
also annexed. Tho committee include
in theirreport, one of the many let
ters in their possession, as circumstan.
ces prevented its author from coming
before the commit ee.
Your committee felt the necessity
of making their examination thorough,
as any doubt as to the integrity of the
Acting Commissioner of the IDstitu-
ton, especially among the boys under
his charge, would destroy his moral
power over them, and strike blow at
the most potent influence npon which
the Institution depends tor success
The result of the examination can
only commend the Acting Commits
sioner anew to the people Of the State,
whose interests, the testimony shows,
he has so vigiantly watched.
Your committee can only repeat
what has so often been said in reports
of Legislative Committees: That Mr..
and Mrs. Howe, by their unwear ed
exerlions to make the Institution un'
der their their charge accomplish the
purposes of its organization, have en-
titled themselves to the appreciation
of this House and the people of Ohio

The Hen and Dwell. a. Egg Producers.

A paper has been received by the
Paris Academy OF Science from NJ
Comaile on the comparative value of
the hen and duck as egg producers -
His observations were linn cd to three
hens and three ducks; all fine animals,
hatched at the same time in the month
of February During the following
autumn the ducks laid 22j eggs; they
re-commenced laying in February and
continued 10 do so until the middle OF
August The hens luld no eggs du-
ring the autumn. but began in Janua
ry, and left off in the middle OF Au.
gust The totals of each at the end
Of that time were-the hen, 257 eggs;
the duck. 6l7. NJ Comaille next exam
incd the nutritive value OF each kind
Of egg, and found them nearly cqnaI
in that respect. Hence the duck i,
more profitable than the hen by far.

IL ecOnstructiO0.

The work of reconstruction was compli-
Gated anew last week. There had been hints
and rumors for several days that prominent
and influential Southern gentlemen,-of the
pardoned variety-had been in conference
with the President, and that plan of re-
construction had been agreed upon which
would be generally satisfactory to all but
the extreme Radicals of the North and the
extreme Rebels of the South. One day last
week Senator Dixon, who is known to be in
the confidence of the President, gave form
and substance to this scheme of RECONSTRUCT
ton by introducing in the Senate the follow
ing:
WHEREAS, At the last session of the 39th
Congress amendment to the Constitution
of the United States was proposed to the
legislatures of the several states, which said
amendment has not yet been ratified by the
states in which rebellion against the United
States recently prevailed And whereas,
there is reason to believe that the following
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States would, if passed by Congress, ne rati-
fed by the legislatures of said states and
whereas, there is also reason to believe that
the contributions of said states will soon be
am nded by the voluntary action of the legis-
latures and the people thereof by the adoption
of an article as follows:
Article -. Every male citizen who has
resided in this state for one year and in the
county in which he offers to vote six months
preceding the day OF election,
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1867-02-13

ment to make the President of the United
States ineligible to reelection, and we should
be sorry to see it coupled with Judge Poland 8
| suggestion of amendment making the term of
Office six years. We would have both tho
constitution of the country and the practice of
the people place no obstacle in the way Of put
ting aside an Incompetent and unworthy Off
cial at the end of his first term IN Office, and
at the earliest practicable moment. We, there
fore, look upon the g two years rule" as mis-
chievous rather in being too long than too
short; and would rather have i. abolished in ia
vor of no rule at all, in order that merit and
not prescriptive right might be the test when
any candidate came before the people for sec.
ond election, rather than have it made into
three years rule. 1t is precisely because every
officeholder pleads the custom in the case of
his predecessor as reason why he should
hold the office as long as it was he Id by those
who went before him, that We are hostile to
any practice which can ever be pleaded to help
re-elect an incompetent official. While, there
fore, the " two years rule" if it we're to bs vi
olated at ali. might be wisely disregarded in
order to re-elect Governor Dillingham;, we
would have it respected that We may be
able to plead, at least, this limitation, il the
State should ever be 80 unfortunate as to have
a governor of whom two years we're all the
could safely endure.

Mr.. STEVENS RECONSTRUCTION BILL-Mr
Stevens from the Joint Committee on Recon
struction, last week reported bill which
declared that the Southern States, except
Tennessee, should be placed under martial
law and in the control of military officers,
until a loyal and Republican government can
be legally established in them 1t is evident
from the vote of the House, Friday, upon this
bill, that it cannot pass. Very likely the
bill is imperfect,-it may be unconstitutional
in some of its provisions and these reasons
may have been full justification of the vote
apparently against it. But is there no mem
Der of Congress able to prepare bill which
IS constitutional and generally unobjection-
able to the radical majority in Congress ? If
there is not, we hope the fortieth Congress
will have at least one Republican equal to
that work, and that the body will remain in
session, commencing on the 4th of March
next, until 1t either adopts plan of its own,
or confesses publicly that the only plan
is the one already put in practice by the
President. If Congress is unable to improve
upon Mr.. Johnson's scheme, what sense is
there in its condemning that effort at recon-
struction? And if it can improve upon it,
about what part of this century does it ex-
pect to take in making that improvement

divisions. The effect of thu bill is not to en-.
'lrely do away with the states as would be done
IN forming territorial governments, but only to
reform them on the basis of loyal suffrage, and
TO meanwhile provide for their government of
ESTABLISHING military jurisdiction therein. Thus
