Protest of the Union Membersoi
the State Senate.


The following is the protest en-
tered upon the Senate journal;
THE undersigned Union Sena.
tors of the State of Ohio desire to
record their protest against the un-
precedented course pursued by the
majority of this body during yes
terday's proceedings, upon the oc-
casion of resembling the resolutions
by which the General Assembly OF
Ohio ratified the fourteenth amend
ment of the Constitution of the
United States, for the following
reasons;
81. The necessity and justice Of
the proposed amendment. Its pro
visions are SO manifestly right and
fair, and of such vital Importance
to the future welfare ofour common
country, that they believe no good
argument can be offered against its
incorporation into the Constitution
of the United States.
go. 1t was fully canvassed
throughout the State previous to
the election in 1866, and received
the hearty endorsement Of the peo-
pie. The largest majority save one
ever given at Congressional cleo
ton in Ohio, fully attests the will
of the voters of the Commonwealth
upon this important proposition,
and that decision remains universal
and in full force.
"3. The manner in which this
measure was forced through the
Senate under operations Of the pre-
vious question, seems to them ex-
traordinary and Objectionable. They
believe the previous question is
universally acknowledged to be the
dernter resort in parliamentary
practice, for the sole purpose of
closing a protracted debate. 1t is
never resorted to in the Senate Of
the United States, and never has
been by the Senate of Ohio during
the service Of the oldest member
now in this body, and its use can
only be justified in large bodies
when there is no other way Of end
ing the discussion. The use of it
made on yesterday to prevent de-
bate entirely, they believe to be
without precedent. This action is
liable to still more serious objection,
from the fact that the minority asked
only a few hours delay, which was
refused.
"a. Finally, when they consider
the transcendent solemnity and i'm
portance of those acts of the Cen
eral Assembly, which relate to chan
ges in the fundamental law, and
contrast them with ordinary legis-
lation, which is always subject to
or repeal, they the more
earnestly deprecate the hasty and
disposition of this ques
ton, and feel that they owe it to
their dignity as men and Senators,
and to the constituents they repre-
sent, to record this their earnest
protest"

Contraction Stopped.


The Senate yesterday, with only
four dissenting votes, passed the
bill suspending the contraction OF
the currency, and providing that the
power of the Secretary of the
Treasury is not to be resumed with
out permission of Congress. This
settles the currency question for
years to come, and leaves the coun-
try with about 750,O00,000 of pa
per money to work upon. This we
believe, will have a beneficial effect
upon business, removing, as it will
the feeIingof unc ertainty which has
disturbed confidence, and rendered it
impossible to make any business cal
culations reaching into the future.
The amount of currency now out
standing is more than double what
it was at the period of greatest in
fation previous to the war, counting
in the latter gold and silver, which
is not currency now. 1t IS not
probable that any measure provid-
ing for initiation can pass the Sen
ate. 1t is almost certain that it can
not. This is well. There is money
enough, and there could be no great
er evil than initiation. If Congress
will let the currency alone, and thus
let business alone, the latter WILSON
be regulated. The one man power
over the currency has been abolish
ed and it will never be renewed We
shall now make solid progress to-
wards specie payments, through a
revival of trade and increase in pro
ductive industry Gin. Gazette

Judging from the proceedings
Of the dominant party Of the Ohio
Legislature thus far in the session,
their highest aim is to undo all that
their Republican predecessors have
done for the last few years, with
the single exception, perhaps, OF
repeating the per diem pay of the
present members of the Legislature.
We apprehend they will say very
little, or at least do very little in the
way of repeating this act. AS is,
so far as the present session is con
ccrned, it is in exact accordance
with their views of constitutional
right.

Mr., Hubbard, who was q few
years since Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives in this State, and
more recently elected BY hard
squeezing to Congress from the 9Th
District, sold himself to the Butter
nut party for the ghostly chance OF
being nominated by that party as a
candidate to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death Of Hon. c. S,
Hamilton; but the Butternuts, after
requiring him to pledge himself
true to the principles of their party,
refused to nominate him, and for
his little commercial transaction he
got his full vaIue-notbiRg. His
Republican principles while in Con
gress were of such a miscellaneous
that the Republicans of
the Sth District two years alo, re-
fused to re-nominate him for cleo
ton; since which time he has been
noundering about, until he has fouLd
his proper place.

not extracted for'two days. The wound
is dang.rou, and painful, but the Prince
is doing well, beyond even the hopes OF
his physicians. His recovery will

dents intention was evil and dangerous
since he had applied to Generals Grant,
Sherman and Thomas, men whom the
country delighted to honor, to accept
tho place which it is now alleged he
wished to fill with tool to be used for
base purposes.
Mr.. Groesbeck also contended that
the Presidents acquiescence i'll the ten
ure of office law as long as possible was
q strong point in his favor. Recapitu-
lating his argument up to this point,
Mr.. Groesbeck proceeded to consider the
question whether the President had the
right to make the appointment ad inter-
i'm, and claimed he had such right, I'M
der the act of 1875. To show that the
provisions of that act applying to tins
act were not affected by the law OF 1908,
he made the same argument advanced
by Mr.. Curtis, and went on to instance
various procedents Of similar appoint
ments made while the Senate was IN
session, dwelling at length on the case
of Holt, appointed by Buchanan to
succeed Floyd, which he said required
particular notice, because the Senate
made particular inquiry into 1t and
called npon tho President for an ex-
PLANTATION, which he gave to their entire
satisfaction, justifying himself under
precisely the same law which Mr.. John-
son refers to in this defence.
Posing over the ninth article with
very brief comments, Mr.. Groesbeck
read the sedition law, and said that
while it closely resembled the tenth
article it was much less Objectionable
and offensive, for that punished the
publication of something coolly
written while this made criminal
words hastily spoken under trying
provocation. He then read burlesque
law framed to carry out his understand
Ing of that article, which created great
merrlment.
With regard to the eleventh article
he said he would only note the fact
that the action of the President IN
sending the telegram to Parsons, which
had formed the subject of a three hours
speech, took place two months before
the reconstruction act, which 1t was
supposed to Obstruct, was passed.
In conclusion he summed up his ar
gument and expressed confidence in the
final result He characterized the pre-
cedent of conviction referred to by
others as the beacon lights of warning,
rather then examples for guidance,
and pronounced a glowing eulogium
upon the life, character and services OF
the President. The Court and Senate
then, at 1870, adjourned.
