Absentsessna.l I

The absence Of members OF both
branches OF the Ohio Legislature has
been frequently commented upon, bu,
without effect, SO far as causing mem.
bers to remain in their seats and attend
to the business for which purpose they
were sent there. But Senator MORRIS, o,
Miami, has caused a terrible futterine
among those who draw their So per day
and put in one-half of the time at home
On the 21st ult member Of: the Senate
asked for leave of absence when Senator
MORRIS made this point of order:
"Under article 2, section 6, OF the
Constitution of Ohio, neither body OF
the General Assembly had a right to
grant leave of absence toa member"
The proposition was novel one, and
seems to haue escaped the legal accu
men of the distinguished lawyers who
since the adoption of the Constitution
have been members of the Legislature
The argument of Mr.. MonR1s. in sup
port of his proposition, was SO clear and
logical that the President of the Senate
decided the point well takeni The de
cision, in which it is understood Speaker
VAN ,voRHIs, of the House, concurs
caused quite nuttering among members
who but occasionally appear ip the Sen
ate, while the more faithful congratula
ted the little Senator on HIS victory
which be seems to sustain in cool and
dignifed manner.

The Georgia Bunds..Again.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle is very
much exasperated at q r. port that the
Georgia Legislature has been "fixed,''
aud that the Bullock bonds, ,repudiated by
the State, would be redeemed 1t says:
"We do not believe, nor can any one in
the State believe, that a single Senator or
Representative has been purchased by
the bond ring. The best evidence Of the
truth of this assertion is found in the fact
that the so-called compromise is asjodi-
Gus to the Legislature as it is to the pce-
pie, and if it should be put to vote in
either House, would be rejected by an
overwhelming majority. The present
Legislature is not for sale, and the sooner
this is understood the better We have
no doubt, however, that Clews & Co. i'm
agine the members have been 'sixed, and
we have just as little doubt that Clews q
Co. intended they should be ''fxed;" bu,
the days of Bullock and his clan have
passed away, and for two years at least
Mr.. Clews will consult his own interests
by keeping his money at home" SITS

A Louisiana View OF the Louis.
lana Riddle.


The New Orleans Republican is very
much excited, apparently, by the sug
gestion that McEnery is seeking TO be
recognized as Governor of Louisiana.
1t takes this curious view OF the case
The Senate of the United States rec
ognized the Kellogg government when
it threw out the vote Of the State, for it
declared by that act tnat the Lynch
Hawking Board was the proper authority
to make return in the premises. 1t dis
tinctly repudiated the McEnery gov
ernment by declaring that the returns in
its favor were not made out by the prop
er returning Board, and that, therefore,
it had no legal existence whatever, not
even to make a showing in an issue out
side of the State. The Government
further recognized the authority of Mr..
Kellogg when it placed its troops at its
disposal and it still recognizes him by
maintaining the same attitude Let
McEnery ask for troops or commit a
disturbance if he is anxious to test the
matter of his status at Washington.
That is to say, because the Joint Con
vention threw out both sets of electoral
votes from Louisiana, iJ recognized the
Returning Board which sent one OF
them We acknowledge that McEnery
has no promise of troops from Wash.
ington; but the War Department is moi
"the Government, as the Republican
seems to fancy. One branch of the
Government, to wit, the Senate of the
United States, does not seem in hurry
to recognize Mr.. Kellogg or his Gov.
ernment.

Location of Houses.

The Science of Health has some sen.
sibie suggestions on this topic, which
are appropriate here:
Houses should be built on upland
ground, with exposure to sunlight or
every side. Duling cpidemics, it has
been noted by physicians that deaths
occur more frequently on the shaded
side of the street than on the sunny
side; and in hospitals physicians have
testified to the readiness with which dis
eases have yielded to treatment in sunny
rooms, while in shaded rooms they hayt
proved intractable.
Let there be no bogs, no marshes, nc
stagnant water in the neig ghbolhood- =
Then let the cellars be thoroughly drain
ed. Inattention to this subject has
caused the death of many person.
No father or mother should rest one
moment in peace while their innocen
babes are sleeping in rooms over DAM
and mody cellars. Cellars should no
only be drained, but thoroughly venti
lated, otherwise the house must be TN
wholesome.
Let the drains also be constructed fol
the conduction of slops ard sewage o
all kinds to common reservoir at 1
distance from the dwelling, to be usel
for fertilizing purposes.

FROZEN BUFFALO HUNTERS.
Seven Days Az d Mig hts In the Snow
.-Ilands, Feet and Legs a Mass OF
COrruPtlOn-.Terri suneriuss.

from the Leavenworth Commercial, Feb 1S.]
The down train on the Missouri Pa
cifc brought to our city six hunters from
the Southwest-victims TO the unprece-
dented cold weather on the plains during
the latter part of January. They presen-
ted pitiable sight, and ole which will be
long remembered by those who saw them
carried one by one in their helpless con
dition and deposited on the platform Of
the depot, where they remained until
moved in ambulances to the Sisters Hos
pital, on Sixth and Kiowa
Onr reporter visited the hospital in the
afternoon to learn full particulars concer-
ming these unfortunates, whose names are
A D. Sidwell, of Ohio; F A Sevpres, of
Wisconsin; j. E. Thomas and A Marsh,
of Indiana; w. A. Mallory, of Michigan,
and JAS Gillin.
Gillin is an employe of the A T. and
| S F. Road, and is but slightly injured =
The other FIVE are hunters, who were
caught in the terrible storm which swept
over the plains on Monday, the 9th Of
January.
They were on the North branch of
Crooked Creek, 60 miles Southwest of
Fort Dodge, in pursuit of buffalo, when
overtaken by the storm. 1t blew perfect
gale, and the drifting snow blinded them
at nearly every step, and they soon lost
their reckoning The horses they had
with them froze to death, and the wagon
containing their provisions was abandon
ed For seven days and nights they
dragged themselves along over the plaips
and through the drifted snow, with frozen
feet and hands, and famishing for the
want of food. -.
On Sunday night, the I'd inst, they
reached Dodge City, where they were
kindly cared for by the citizens, and made
as comfortable as the limited accommo-
dations of the place would permit II
was discovered that amputation would be
necessary, but there being no physician
in the place willing to undertake the disa-
greeable task, telegram was sent to the
city and accommodations secured for
them at the Sisters Hospital, where they
could receive all the attention their pre-
eariOus condition demands.
Their hands, feet and legs are terribly
swollen-in fact, are perfect mass OF
corruption, creating stencil which drove
US from the room in which they are con-
fined Before they were removed from
the Union Depot one of the number lost
his ear, which fell from his head putrid
mass.
They bear up under their Affections
like men used to hardships and long suf.
fefng, very patient-and two of them are
inclined to be jovial. Thomas, from
whom we obtained our information, ap
peared to be the grttiest. He has been
ON the plains for the last twenty years
and has withstood many hardships in his
frontier life.

ETT The petition which has been pre-
sented to the Massachusetts Legislature,
asking that the disgraceful action of that
body in presuming to censure Senator
Sumner lie expunged from the record,
is giving the Boston newspapers an op-
portunity to denounce the miserable bu-
siness. The Advertiser says it was
"hasty and ill-judged." The Post says
that when the Senator's accusers, "Col
fax and Pomeroy and Patterson and
Harlan fell, and even Wilson was tain
ted, there did not arise even hint of a
suspicion of Mr.. Sumner. The freest
Imagination failed to conceive of such
possibility In Senate filed with
corruption, he stands undefled." II
thinks something is due as an "acknowl-
edgment of integrity so rare as to be
even above suspicion" and with much
force calls upon Massachusetts to sap
propriate the worth of one pure man
and, by annullinc hasty, foolish, and
uneonsidered act, relieve itself Of an
imputaton upon its good eense."

pet scheme Of compelling the payment
of double rates on letters improperly
stamped. RebufIed by Congress Com
mittee, the Postmaster General appealed
to the Department Of Law to sustain

Overruled there. the Objectionable clause
came up in the Senate, the 22d ult, in
different shapes, seeking incorporation
into the Postal Appropriation BILL We
are glad it was again and again defeated.
II is an unjust imposition; it fixes on

nothing else to recommend it. It is
