Democratic Richmond will be stormed, and
the enemy surrender Internationally 10 the
Grand Army of Liberty, Progress and
Union.
On Friday last the General Assembly
was honored by visit from Gov. Fair
child, now Governor Of Wisconsin, and Mr..
Smith, Treasurer Of that State. They, with
a,v. Hayes, walked quietly iuto the Senate
Chamber, and were listening to the pro-
cesdiugs sometiue before their presence
WAS observed. AS soon as their presence
was known, Mr.. Brooks, of Columbiana,
yery handsomely announced the fact that
the distinguish iGovernor Of our sister State
of Wisconsin was present, and moved that
he be invited 10 the side Of our presiding
officer, 1t. Gov. Lee. The two Governors
were escorted 10 The stand, the Senators rose,
and General Lee introduced the d.stingui,h-
ed guest to the body. Gov. Fairchilds. in
yery neat but short address returned thanks
for the honor Of such reception, rem4rkipg
among other things, that Re was proud of
his native State; proud of her greatness in
wealth, manufactures and commerce; and
still more proud Of the patriotism of her
brave men, two hundred thousand of whom
went forward in defence of the Union.
Gov. F, was born in Cleveland. He is about
forty five years old medium sizs; light
complexion prominent Roman features
with an eagle eye. His left sleeve has no
arm in it. BE gave that arm to ihe cause
of the Union in battle at Antietam. He
visits orr Stale chiefly for the purpose Of
viewing the organization of our benevolent
institutions and structures, aud 10 gather
suggestions for the erection aud organization
of Ike institutions in his State.
In honor Of his distinguished visitor,
Gov. Hayes invited the General Assembly
aud heads of departments 10 his house ia
the evening. The attendance was very
general and without distinction of party,
aud the company enjoyed themselves in
social chat and introduc,ions until about
half-past nine, when Refreshments were
served, and a little after ten the guests began
to take their departure. The occasion was
very pleasant, aud all left with high
opinion Of our excellent Governor.
This entertainment is worthy of note in
two particulars: First its harmony with
true republican government, in d;scarding
all assumption at high style and costly dis
play and second, in the unassumiug yet
cordial and graceful manner (not overdone)
in which the Governor and his wife well
coined and shook hands with each guest,
with a kind word and gentle greeting for
each Every guest felt that he was at home
and welcome.
wish all the women of the State could
have seen Mrs. Hayes on this occasion, and
learned from her what true taste Is. She
stood during the whole reception
than hour-near the centre of the parlor, by
the side of her husband, and manifested
deep interest IN her husbands friends, cor
daily extending her hand to every one pre-
sented Then her dress that of course
would be the first point Of observation for
all the lady observers. Her head wss most
splendidly Ornamented with her O,on jet
black hair, plainly and most neatly ar
ranged-no other ornament. Drlss, black,
plain, neat and close at the throat a small
white collar on the neck gloves black.
You could not look at her without sdmira-
tion, and you felt sure that you was not ad
miring the dress, nor any ornament or com
binetion of human art. There was no dress
ing for mere effect there was nothing to BE-
added without marring the picture. You
felt that you was in the presence of true
woman and noble wife. Now how many
of our ladies would have the courage to
thus disperse wi b all ornaments laces and
fiouuces, for the sake of appearing well and
exhibiting true taste, as we find it here,
when the means and inducements for display
were all at hand / am more than ever con-
virced that our ladies generally go beyond
tie bounds of sense Ia the use of too much
ornament and gaudy display in dress. l
pen these remarks out of regard not only for
true taste in dress, but as well for the pock-
cts of husbands and parents. 't.
Legislation goes on as usual. The time
of adjournment is now an interesting ques-
ton. The Democrats cannot agree on that
subject. On Wednesday last Mr.. SIAM
baugh, of Tuscaravas county, offered joint
resolution in the Senate TO adjourn on the
I1th inst until the second Tuesday in De-
cember next. 1t was warmly opposed, and
laid over one day, on notice to discuss. The
next day, in discussion Of if, Scribner Of
Knoy, and Lawrence of Guernsey, and
others, declared il necessary to remain in
session until the impeachment trial is
closed, not only 10 fill a vacancy in the q.
| S. Senate, which would follow, but because
the times are critical, and the country per-
haps resting upon a volcano, which might
burst forth at any time aud whelm us in
civil war. But the resolution passed by the
unanimous vote Of the Republican members
anda few Democrats, who saw no vacancy
ia the Senate and no danger in the future.
In caucus Friday night the Democrats could
not agree on time for adjournment, and so
the question stands for the present, Two or
three weeks think will yet be required to
enable the Dems. to save The country and
effectually secure the ballot to none but
men purely white outside.
The Senate this week has passed the fol-
lowing bills, introduced by The Senator from
your district: 5
To authorize the Commissioners of Otta-
wa county to levy aud expend fifteen hun
dred dollars in improving the navigation Of
Portage River.
To regulate the sale of Patent Rights, and
prevent frauds connected Herewith.
To authorize the election Of an additional
Judge in the first Subdivision of the Fourth
Judicial District-Huron Erie, Sandusky,
Ottawa and Lucas counties.
All these must pass the House before
becoming laws
On Friday the bill to allow billiard tables
to be kept for gain was discussed all the
foreman and nasSed This hill came froun
the House, and is now law So there is
now no prohibition on billiards.
