and Gov. Hayes has appointed Johu Russell,
Chief 'Clel k in the Secretsry's Office, to fill
tie vacancy for the unexpircd term of one
ytar.; Mr.. Smith resigned in order 10 accept
an editorial position on an Evening paper
soon to be. started in Cincinnati. -. The
most noticeable feature Of the week 5 legisla-
tion was the passage of the joint resolution
| to rescind the ratification of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the U.
S. This is not the Amendment abolishing
Slavery but the one which confers civil
tights upon the emancirated slaves, does
away with the. old pro-slavery three fifths
principle in representation, debars certain
class of. rebels from holding office, asserts
the validity of the National debt, and pro-
hibits the pay yment Of the rebel debt or any
claim for the loss or emancipation of slaves.
The withdrawal Of Ohio's assent TO this
Amendment postpones lis adoption until
the people of the. State can elect loyal
Legislature to re-recOrd their solemn sane
ton of it. Among the bnls introduced
are the following prohibiting persons hay
ing any visible admixture of African blood
from voting TO repeal the law authorizing
criminals to testify in their own behalf; 10
collect statistics of bonds and other securi-
ties exempt from taxation /; 10 increase the
legal rate of interest; to allow cities of the
second class TO elect policemen; to repeal
the road law aud others of no public i'm
