GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF OHIO,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
COLUMBUS. March 81 1871

COLUMBUS. March 2I, 1871.
To zOzoR II may concern: Having
observed a certain newspaper insinuation
that the law passed by the General As
sembIy in 1860 authorizing a State Geo
logical Survey, came from the head and
hand of some other person than Hon.
Alfred E. Lee. Representative from Del
aware county, take occasion to say
that | had peculiar and special oppor-
tunities of knowing that the bill, which
finally became a law, was drawn up by
him, and most ably advocated by him
in a speech rePlete with argument.
believe that to the efforts of Capt. Lee,
more than to any other person, are the
people Of Ohio indebted for the practical
Inauguration of the present Geological
Survey of the State.

From the Hon. Lewis Iewton, Member OF
the 5Sth General Assembly,.


A. E. LEE-Dear Sir: Twas mem
Der of the committee to whom the sub
ject of a Geological Survey was referred.
and the bill reported by the committee
was passed IN the House, think, with
out any material amendment. You was
chairman OF that committee, and BY
common consent of the other members
took entire charge of the matter, as you
seemed very enthusiastic on the sub
iecU After the matter had been before
the committee sometime remember we
had some talk and consultation together
in the committee on the subject. and T.
then discovered that l. at least, knew
but little about It while you appeared TO
have made yourself master Of the whole
question and no one seemed 10 be 50
fully impressed with the necessity and
importance to our people of such a sur
vey as yourself. You were requested to
draw up such a report as you thought
the committee ought to make, and also
a bill providing for a survey.
Accordingly YOU drew up the report
and the bill accompanying the same
and the report, after being signed by the
committee, was presented to the House
by you, together with the bill which we
afterwards passed.
This IS my recollection of the matter.
and state II the more cheerfully be
cause / have always felt that you were
deserving of more credit for your labors
in procuring the Survey to be made,
than you had received
l never understood that any one as
sisted you IN getting up the report or the
Bill. and as they were IN your own hand
writing. believe they were enurely and
in every respect your own work.
With sentiments of the highest es-
TEEN am most respectfully,
Your friend,

A. E. LEE, Dear Sir
1t was with more than ordinary sur
prise / noticed statements made bv
the Democratic editor Of your place
twho / believe is an officer Of the
Senate) that you were not the author
of the Geological Survey bill which
passed into a law during the legislative
session of 60 I do not know what he
NAV claim, or to whom he may asCribe
its paternity, but one thing I do know
if he gives any one else than YOUR
self the credit he will do that which
neither he or any other man can
maintain. But few measures in all that
exciting Legislature were more carefully
considered, or more intelligently acted
upon. All the points bearing upon the
propositions Of the bill, and the bill itself,
were freely discussed, privately and
publicly. As to yourself it was a COM
mon remarE-the care and labor and
a view to having it well perfected be-
fore pressing its passage in the House.
Personally, on several occasions,
A4ACW u yOdA 4Ce-f4k4s5 Jul SGeAt 8OAOAC
recesses to work upon the bill and your
report and on other occasions of your
remaining in the city for the same pur-
pose during one or more of the tri-
weekly adjournments, when every other
member went to his home.
You made that bill your earnest work
during the entire second session of the
General Assembly in which it was pas
sed. You were SO much devoted to the
principle and object of the bill that l
well remember remarking to Hon. G.
w. Brooke, then and HOzg a member
from Mahoning county, that the only
way to achieve success as a legislator
was not to have too many measures on
hand at the same time, but rather 05Ee
and then give it your entire time and
energy, as did Capt. Lee, of Delaware,
on the Geological Survey bill.
No one did. or could for one moment
doubt that you were the originator of
that measure. One thing certain, had
y0A not introduced that bill and by your
perseverance and determination to sue
ceed accomplished your purpose no
geological bill would ever have passed
that legislature, and think not this !;
and whoever attempts to rob or deprive
you of the honor and merit of the sue
cess, / am free to say is more ziad5ckIUe
than honest So will all say who have
desired to know the truth.
Most truly yours,

When my bill was prepared had be-
fore me not only this measure of Gen. Gar
fields, but all similar measures ever IN
troduced in the Ohio Legislature, as
well as most Of those passed in other
States of the Union. In my humble
efforts I endeavored to construct
bill which would combine the best fea-
lures of all, and avoid their defects, as
well as introduce such new features as
might add to the efficiency Of the meas
ure. l trust I may be INDUCED in some
degree of pride in the fact that my sue
cess in this endeavor was to some extent
recognized by the passage of my bill,
word for word as I prepared it, by
large majority in both branches of the
General Assembly.
My assailant says I had another bill
of similar nature before me when mine
was prepared. Yes, had several 9th
ers, and what of iii l had not such
confidence in my wisdom as TO
believe it unnecessary to consult what
had been done by others in the same
field. But consulting others is not ini-
tating or copying others, and though
two years have elapsed since my bill
became law. the astute genius who as
sails me is the first to discover that it is
a copy of another measure Nor would
he, but for his malice. ever have made
such discovery.
If the person, in whose name this at
tack upon me is made. were its sole
originator or prosecutor, my best reply
to it would be contemPtuous silence
But it has higher origin and is insti-
gated by malice more responsible and
than his. I therefore pub
lish, though not without extreme reluc-
lance, the appended testimonials which |
have been kindly furnished me.

Hon. ALFRED LEE, Columbus, o.,
DEAR SIR: have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your Report
on the Bill providing for a Geological
Survey of Ohio. am very glad to see
that the subject is again under consider
alton in the General Assembly, and
hope it may this time be successful If
you will look over Senate Documents
for 1907 you viii find report which
l made on the same subject. l had
hopes of securing the passage of the
Bill at that time, but the breaking out
of the rebellion diverted the attention of
the General Assembly from ali such
things, and the matter dropped. The
cause of science, the development of
our mineral and agricultural resources,
and knowledge Of our river and lake
system, all demand that the Survey be
made. Expenditure of money for such
a purpose is good economy. Thanking
you for your Report, l am,
Very truly yours,

plause bestowed upon their efforts proved that the en-
tertainment they offered we'll adapted 10 the taste
Of our public Mr.. santley gave better exhibition OF
his powers as lyric artist than we have bad before All
his selections except "The Stirrup Cup" which he
chose piece, were Of an operate character
The romanza. Lisbona" from Donizetti's "Don Be-

cess not long in London was made almost entirely
by Mr. Santley-was moro dramatic and varied; and
the lively barcarole, "Sulla poppa del miO lrik,"
from Ricci's "Prisonc d'Ednburgo," showed
him in rattng hafhumorous sort OF music. to which
his bright aud hearty voice seems perfectly adapted
Then he shared in the " Chi mi frena" quartete from
Lucia" and the I'm di al ben rammentOmi" from
"Rgoetto" We have not yet heard Mr. Santey do any
thing OF which could rot say that 1t was done ad

surpass her previous achievements. She chose Hullas
"The Storm" with Home, Sweet Home" for a recall
and the "Quando a t. cta" from Gounod's Faust"
