JAN. l5.-There seems to be consid
cradle disposition to modify and tinker
the Common School laws. As all meas
ures thus far have been referred Il the
proper Standing Committee, it is i'm.
possible to say what may be their ulti-
mate fate. The chief object of the
majority party in this body, seems to
be the repeal of all the leading meas
ures of its immediate predecessor, and
to enact laws likely to give the demo-
Gratis whatever advantages are to be
derived from q kestoWment of place
and emoluments. The number of new
bills daily offered foreshadoWs q throng
of business at the latter end of the
term. There. is, as usual in these
bodies, q deluge of resolutions, petit
tons, &c, most of which die early, with
few mourners. There have been bills
introduced to fix the tariff rates of rail
roads SO as to equalize their charges on
local traffic. This is a measure of i'm
portance to the people, and some such
measure should be enacted, that the
public may not be left to the extortion-
ate exactions of railroads at non-com-
peting points. Railroad companies, as
is their habit, are liberal in the bestow-
ment of passes to members, as much as
to say, we hope you will be considerate,
gentlemen, and not meddle with our
arrangements. The feeling, l think is
not one of great sympathy with railroad
exactions. However it would be very
and hurtful to public interests
to impose any unreasonable require
ments or crippling limitations upon
these invaluable and indispensable
highways, and l do not think
any seemingly arbitrary legislation will
be attempted, OF if attempted, succeed.
The action of the democrats in both
houses, %springing the previous question
so as to cut off all debate on the resolu-
resembling the ratification Of the
l4th Article to the National Constitu-
ton, is justly denounced by Repubh-
cans as a tyrannical exercise Of power,
,arely exercised in any legislative
body, and n which has not been en-
iorced in the Ohio Legislature, since
he sitting of a Democratic majority
lere about ten years since. 1t is 9
,oEardly act to shrink from q fair dis
of measures Involving a CUES
lion of such moment as the resembling
IF an act ratifying a high and import
mt Article of the National Constitu-
Jon. Yet it has been done by the
Democracy of Ohio, through
heir obsequious Representatives, and
designed by them as 8 strengthening
to the Tickety backbone of reb-
.ldom. Certainly the people of Ohio

JANUARY l6.-Considerable anxiety
felt in regard to the canvass in the ,
tb Congressional District for a mem
Of Congress to fill the vacancy
rccasioned by the death OF Mr.. Hamil-
on. The election takes place on

re Gen. JOHN BEATTY, of Morrow Coun-
y, Republican, and BARNABAs BURNS,

or Hamilton, at the last Congressional
was about 1900, but the Dis
riot last year only gave about 300 Re-
publican majority. Our friends think

The democrats, however, profess 10 be-
ieye they will carry the district, and
