OHIO LEGISLATURE

COLUMBUS, o., April 1,1S7(
STATES AND UNION:
The Senate bill repeating the visible
adinixture law, passed the House; alsc
a bill repeating the law forbidding sol
diers lot citizens of Ohio, staying al
the Soldiers Home, to vote, so that
hereafter persons not citizens of Ohio
may vote at our elections?
y Substitute for Senate bill suspen
ding County officers under Indictment
passed. the House in a greatly modif-
ed form.
The General appropriation bill pass
ed the House. 1t aggregates nearly
five millions OF dollars after the Nor
gan raid claim was stricken out. 1t
passel by a nearly strict party vote.
PAIRS House bill, with Chrss's
amendment, requiring Township Trus-
tees, instead ofCounty Commissioners
to pay small claims arising from Roads
and Highways, passed the Senate and
IS now 4 law.
There are th,ee important financial
bills that have passe.l the Senate and
are now before the Finance Commit
tee Of the House. One provides for
temporary loans olfour hundred thou
sand dollars for two months. The
other provides for funding one mill
ion of dollars of the SO called union
loan and extending it nine years, and
the most Objectionable feature is, that
it proposes to exempt the new bonds
from taxation! The third scheme is
the Great tax bill containing m hun
bred and ninety six sections. 1t en-
bodies all the tax laws now on the Stat
ute, and much more. II will not pass
this session.
The Auditors bill is still pending
in the House.
The Commissioners law which was
Ft)DI leu DdSN ~ Lit 1IObSS ~ Sil"S-,
from a select committee, will be put
upon its final passage soon.
The time of the House has been en-
tirely wasted in wrangiiug about the
negro for the last two days, instead OF
attending to the business of the people.
There is TO good reason why this Leg
stature should not have adjourned in
March and gone home.
The Senate amended the Soldiers
orphans home bill SO hat it authon-
yes counties to maintain orphans aud
draw from the State fund the same
amount per head that it costs the State
in the Home.
These amendments will meet with
a stiff opposition. The question mar
rows itself down to this-shail the U.
y. Z. or the State, run the Soldiers
Home?
The Legislature will not adjourn
until after the middle of the month.

That the Republican party Is re

successfully disputed.
= Tie allegation that the Democracy

There never was a call in which, at

To this end, every Democratic Gen

with all the stealing, oppressive tax

TARIFF BfII.

TARIFF BILL
Every effort is to be made to pass
the Tariff bill. The Ways and
Means Committee this morning
agreed to some notifications which
! will materially assist the passage OF
the bill i'll the House. Tie Pennsyt-
vanians are understood TO be willing
| TO acquiesce in some changes i'll the
| duties on iron, if those on steel are al
lowed to remain as in the bill already.
They have gone as far a. to agree, in
order to secure the Southern vote to
admit cotton machinery free Of duty.
The steel interest is represented here
in force. insisting on the rates in the
bill. To-day the House spent nearly
the entire session on the sugar para
graph, and finally voted down all out
side amendments.
1t is charged that the classification
was in the interest of the ~refinerS,
who had Il capital of $50, 000,0 i'll
vested in the refining business; but 10
this it Was answered that the improve
ments made in refining sugar since
the last tarifflaw was passed damand-
ed n different classification. Finally
the bill was modified by the Ways
and Means Committee, and accepted
Ey the House rs follows: On all
raw or Muscovado sugar, and on all
other sugars not above No. II, Dutch
standard in color, two cents per pound
| on clarified sugar, three cents per
pound; OH refined sugar, store dried,
in loaf, lump, crushed, powdered or
e~ranulatcd, which has been advanced
in quality above No. II, Dutch stand
ard, four cents per pound.
The Baltimore and Portland

cept this classification, though it is
not exactly what they desired.
GENERAL AMNESTY.
1t was only two weeks ago hat the
| President informed Senators that as
soon as Georgia was admitted and
the work OF reconstruction finished up
he should send a message to Congress
recommending general amnesty TO all
participants in the rebellion. The
Republican politicians are bringing
to bear oil the influences to cause
him 10 postpone MS purpose IN this re-
gard, and may accomplish their pur-
pose. The opposition takes the usual
form, charging that the late rebels
are as disloyal as ever. 1t is estima-
ted that the number of persons still
DISTINGUISHED under the Fourteenth
Amendment from all State and Fed
eral offices amounts to 25n,tO0.

The Tariff.

Congress is still engaged in discuss
ing the tariff bill. The New Eng
land members, aided by the iron in
terest Of Pennsylvania, and a few
servie Yankee carpet-baggers who
have worp1ed their way into Congress
from the Western States seem resolute
" determined to raise the tariff rates
sufficiently high to, in effect, exclude
all foreign Ipn%anufactures coming in
competition with New England.
The Southern and Western mem
bcrs show some disposition to revolt
at the injustice of this scheme, and
hence, we find Garfield of the West
crn Reserve, attempting to mollify the
rising asperities in the ranks of his
party, by Suggesting hat New Eng
land prohibifioni5ts should not ask
TOO much from the West.
New England has succeeded in Sc
curing nearly one half the National
Bank currency, with a large share OF
untaxed bonds; aud now, ifshe could
exclude European manufactures, she
could successfully compel the South
and West to buy her goods at her
own prices, and extort more tribute.
The Western and Southern mem
bers should stand firmly by the doc.
.trines Of q revenue tariff, and thus
rebuke the greed, cunning and ty-
sranny of the Yankee. If they fail tc
do SO; they will have a difficult ac-

The late speech OF Morgan on
salt and New England proves two
things, to wit:
The New England fish-packer can
buy 5000, 900 bushels OF salt for
$1,000; while the same quantity at
the same place, will cost the western
packer S23, O00.
Massachusetts furnished 1917 regi-
ments for the war less than New
York; and yet has drawn from the
federal treasury S1.00J,000 more
than New York for its expenses in
raising and equipping troops.

RevieaU Of the Blood 0ed Thunder
Yarns about the South.
In the United States Senate, on the
4th inst, Senator Thurman made an
able and forcible speech on the Georgia
question, especially pointing out the
menstrous political wrong involved IN
the proposition, supported by most OF
the Radicals, that Congress shall in,
tervenc and extend the term of the
Georgia Legislature for two years
longer than that for which it vas elect
ed by the people. Senator Thurman
stated the cast as follows;
CONGRESS ELECTING \ LEGISLATURE
FOR GEORGIA. -;
The proposition is simply this {:
Georgia, if this bill pass, is to be re
stored to her relations ; her senators
are to come upon this floor; her re-
personalities are to take their in
the House of the Representatives; she
is then, according TO your ~reconstruc-
ton laws, to be fully in the Union
once more, and according to the oft
affirmed and true doctrine of the en-
atOr from Michigan she will then stand
upon an equal footing with any other
state in the Union, as Massachusetts
herself has, the senator from Massa-
chuseetts proposes that Congress shall
intervene and extend the term of her
Legislature two years longer than that
for which it was elected by the people.
Mr.. President, there are some things
that a lawyer cannot argue against
with very good temper. 1 have al
ways found that when there was a
really diffiult question the most irasci-
BILE lawyer could keep his temper in
the argument OF il; but when PROPOSE
tions are made that are so utterly alb
surd as to shock the common sense Of
mankind and the decent respect of the
profession for itself and the law, it is
difficult for even an old man of a mild
temper TO keep his temper as we'll as
he should
But now I invite the attention again
of my friend from Massachusetts,.
