FoR GovERNoR.-The name Of our
townsman Hon. R. P. Buckland, has
been mentioned in connection with
the Office of Governor, in different
parts of the State, and everywhere
very highly. We know not whether
the General viii consent to be a can
didate or not, but we Go know
that the reigns of State Government
could not be placed in safer or more
experienced hands. He enjoys the
implicit confidence of all who know
him, and his sterling worth makes
him one of the ablest and strongest
men in the State. His nomination
would add strength to the party,
and his election would be certain.

OHIO SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
On entering the rotunda of the
State House to-day, you would see
a board inclcsure about II feet high
at the right front as you enter.
Within you may hear the noise of
the hammer and chisel, by workmen
concealed from view.
What is it? Why, within, the
workmen are putting a monument
to the deceased braves of Ohio, who
died that liberty and union might
live.
This monument is the work of
Jones, the Sculptor. The pyramid
is to be surmounted by his splendid
bust Of Lincoln, and will, altogether,
be a fine and fitting ornament for
the rotunda. The time for unveil-
ing # is not announced.
This is put up without cost to the
State, being the work of the Ohio
Monumental Association paid
for entirely by voluntary donations
of which, / think, Gov. Hayes is
now chairman. The bust of Lincoln
is a superb production Of art.
How suggestive this simple mon

DEAR JOURNAL: The general as

which coming on Sunday, must of
course be celebrated on Monday.
The leaders Of Ohio Democracy are
here, Campbell, McCook, Vallandig-
ham, ct cmne genus, with sinister
concern depicted on their faces. They
are plotting for possession of the ma
tional and state spoils of office. And
mark! they mean business. Iwould
say not0 to Republicans, close up
your ranks, bring your recruits, drill
and be ready for one of the hottest
campaigns Ohio has witnessed in ten
years.

the choice made for that Office. He

IMPROVEMENTS IN COLUMBUS.

tMEkO EMENlS IN GOLlMBIC.
This city has made some marked
improvements within the year last
past. The chief of these are, the
City Hall, situated on State Street,
south of the Capitol, and the water
works, both which are well on to-
wards completion.
In the State House several impor-
tant changes have been made. Those
immense chandeliers, suspended by
wires covered with tinsel, vibrating
every time they were lighted, and
seeming to threaten acrushing death
to every living thing beneath, have
been removed, and their place sup
piled by circles of gets under rehec-
tors at the ceiling. These gets from
the nights furnish a, clear mild light,
far more perfect and harmless than
that given by the old oumbrous
chandeliers.
Again that long row of kissing
quivering boilers, placed almost dir
rectly under the House and Senate
and which put the members contin-
ually in mind that by an explosion
in the basement the assembled wis
dom Of Ohio with her records of ex-
travagance, fclly and wisdom, might
be sent in one confused mass,
sprawling up towards where the
angels dwell, have been removed to a
safer place. They now stand out
under the east platform, where ex-
plosion will be comparatively harm
less.
The proceedings of the assembly
have thus far been quite clear of
party questions, and the prospect is
not favorable for a stormy session.
As to the length of the session
certain can now be predic-
ed. Should Congress before the 4th
If March fix the quota for Congress
ional representation, the prevailing
opinion is that the session will be a |
ong one. SANDUsKT.

FOrty-arst congress-Third session

In the House, on the 9th, the Senate joint
resolutions were called up. Orth, from Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, moving to suspend
the rules, and take up and pass the resolu-
tions The result of this motion if adopted,
would have been to suspend the rules and

substitute identical with the Senate resolu-
tions, but subsequently withdrew them, and
renewed his motion to suspend and pass. It
was again defeated, when he moved to sus-
pend the rules and take up the Senate resolu-
lions for consideration, admitting also an
amendment by Amber, that the passage of
the resolution should not be understood, as
committing Congress to the policy of annexa-
ton. 1t was agreed that the vote should be,
taken on the 10th, at 5 o'clock, P NJ, when
Wood got the floor and spoke for an hour

House, was transmitted by the President, but
McClellan's report, not being on file in the
Safe Department, could not be sent, It was
then arranged that the speeches on the 10th,
should be limited to 10 minutes each, and the
House adjourned.
In the Senate, the message Of the President,
accompanying the Monthly Correspondence,
was laid on the table and ordered printed.
The remainder of the day was spent in deba-
ting the bill revising the laws relative to the
coinage, but without concluding it. Senate
went into Executive Session, and adjourned.

In the House, on the 18th, the consideration
of the bill relative to the better care in trans
portation of cattle, was resumed until the ex-
pirat1on Of the morning hour. Dawes offered
resolution for the appointment of Commit
tee to enquire into the manner in which an

of Geo. Chorpenning, and directed the 9th

til Committee reported Committee to have

In the Senate, Ramsey introduced bill
authorizing steam mail service between this

eenS for taking the census, in States and Ter

gard to amount of free mail matter. The
House bill makiAg appropriations for Louis
vile and Portland Canal, and the DesMoines |
Rapids passed. Trumbull's bill to relieve Con-
gress men from opportunities, &c, was con-
cidered and in the course of the debate Trum- |
bull took occasion to say there were twice as |
many clerks employed as were necessary, and |
referred to Ex-Sccretary Cox, as his authority. |
In replying to him Mr.. Morton remarked that
he was aware that the late Secretary has ac-
quired considerable reputation in this matter |
of civil service reform, and referred to an arti-
Gle in the North American Review Substantive
tug his assertion that that gentleman set up
for himself superior morality on this point;
that he had claimed to inaugurate reform, in
which he encountered, as he said in his letter
Of resignation, the politicians. The inference
was that during his official tenure he acted
upon his honest convictions and did not allow
Congressman to dictate any appointments.
Now, the facts, as shown from the records,
were that on that gentleman's assumtion of
MS Office there were $50 clerks in the Interior
Department and when he left it there were
js8; one man perhaps having died. There
lore, according to Mr.. TrumbuIl, there were
,wice as many clerks there as were needed,
ind but one less than the number when the
Secretary left it. Unlike Mr.. Cox, Secretary
Boutwell,, without any special pretensions to
.iyil service reform, had reduced the force
lnder him some four or five hundred, which,
he same might be considered rather hard on
Jox. Further discussion was deferred till
he 18th.
