OHIO LEGISLATURE.
COLUMBUS, Feb. 5, 1870
TIES Il UNION:

STATES q UNION:
There are now one hundred and
thirty bills introduced in the House;
seventy in the Senate. They relate
TO almost every variety Of subjects.
1t would be an endless task to enum
crate them all. One bill proposes the
reorganization of the Office Of County
Auditor, Treasurer, and Prosecuting
Attorney. In fact, there is no subject
that escapes, from the crime of muir
der, down to shooting -woodpeckers!
Senate bill to authorize School
Boards to erect school houses on leas-
ed sites, passed the House by a vote
of95 TO !. This bill relates especially
to Loudonville.- .e
The election for additional officers
in the House resulted as follows
Shepard, Radical, Third assistant elk.
PEGS. Democrat. Fonrth asst Smith,
Radical, Official Reporter, and Fred.
Blenkner, bohemian, Third asst ser
geant alarms.
pa The bills regulating the offices of
County Auditor, Treasurer, and Pros
ecuting Attorney have been SO amend
ed by the committee, that if they pass
their friends will not know them.
The gizzard, has been taken out.
The most ofthe week has been spent
in considering the right of Glover, of
IScioto, and Blakeslee, Of Williami to
a seat in this General Assembly, Gle
vers eligibility was considered amat
ter of little Importance: Thequesfion
of illegal votes has not been considl
cred, thirty days having been granted
himto take testimony. The daily pa
pers are mistaken when they say the
contest for seats has ended. That
question has not been tried.
1t was alleged that Glover was in
eligible because at the time of the
election lie held a lucrative Office un-
der the Government of the United
States In proof of this, Art. 2, Sec.
4, Of the Constitution of Ohio, iseited:
It declares that any person holding
office under. the authority of the Uni
ted States or the State of Ohio, shall
be ineligiblert to alseat in, the General
Assembly of Ohio. The Democrats
voted solid against, and the Radicals
for Glover to hold his seat. J : = n
The case of Blakeslee of Williams,
is very different. He does not pretend
to represent a District or County
known to the apportionment law
Williams County is one of three coun-
ties that make up a Representative
District That District has its Repre-
sentative on the floor, holding his seat,
without challenge. This man Blakes-
lee is an inter1oper, and has no more
right to a seat than any outsider.
If the Radicals had not retained
these illegal members, it would have
deprived them of their political ma
jority in the House, there being now,
81 RAIDS. to So Dems With the two
members OUT the House would have
been a tie, and the fifteenth Amend
ment, and all other Radical deviltry
would have been easily defeated:
Glover is not through yet. New
man is contesting his seat, alleging
that the majority of (23) that he
claims, is made up of illegal votes

the descent altogether In different direc-

difficult. Having already passed over some very
ugly and dangerous places (Which he could not re-

dangerous. There he was and what must he do?

He came to the most precipitous part OF

commended his soul to God, closed his eyes
Finally he got TO cli several feet in height,
which he turned two or three somersaults, and
landed with thud loud enough TO be heard by the
