Columbus Correspondence.
CoLrMBrs, Feb. 20, 1855

The Senate bill to legalize ten pei
cent. interest on contract, was up for
third reading in the House on Thurs.
day last. A large number of amend.
ments were offered by various gentle.
men to the bill; and the most of the
/ daJ was consumed IN the discussion
and rejection Of the amendments. On
test votes, it was ascertaiue6 in the
afternoon, that the bill could not pass,
unless more votes could be procured /;
and the ',shoddies," and the "weak-
knsed copperheads," who had come to
their aid, began to tremble. DIR.
Scott of Warren, a smooth tongued.
sly old black republican, began n new
series OF CITATIONS. He desired to
have the further consideration Of the
bill postponed till Thursday of next
week, that its friends might have time
to fully discuss it. The facts were,
that the evening before the Doctor
had forced it upon the House as q
special order and II. J. Jewett, who
has not been in the House this winter
before, was telegraPhed for, and came
up from Cincinnati to help the "rot-
tens" put it through; but when they
found it could not be done, they be-
gan to cry for quarters. The House
finally agreed to postpone.
1t will be we'll for the Democracy
OF little Ashland to remember that
this same II. J.. Jewett is a candidate
for the nomination for Governor be-
fore the approaching Democratic con
vention. He has no sympathies for,
the poor laborer. his prejudices are
all in favor of the sharks and one
lenders. Let our people se- that they
cast their votes for a Democrat, in
that convention.
RAILROADS
The rail road men are here in large
numbers looking after the interests of
the vide, and narrow guages. The
Atlantic bill introduced by General
Stickney some days since, will most
likely meet the appreciation of the
House, after a few unimportant
amen ments. If such should be the
case, the atlantic and Erie road
will be a power in the land. It will
tap all the roads Of the West; and we
will see vast numbers offreight trains
passing our town every day and the
effect will be, to increase the value of
property, and give our town a fresh
and more vigorous growth. So may
it be. j
AN excursion.
The members Of the Legislature
and officers of both Houses have been
invited 10 make an excursion trip to
London, Madison county, on the sec.
ond- day of March, to attend the 'cat-
tie sales" and partakc of the hospital
ifies Of the city of London. The in
.vitation has been accepted by both
branches of the Legislature and q big
time is expected. Madison county is
celebrated for its fine cattle. Great
numbers of Durhams, Dsvons and
other fine cattle are raised in that
county, and annually on the second
of March are offered for sale to cat
tie raisers and stock growers.
The Legislature will adjourn about
the fifteenth of April.
