Letter from Ohio.
CINCINNATI, ONO, I
September 2nd, 1873. (

DEAR ADVOCATE With the
thought that letter from yours truly
might be welcome or otherwise, and per-
baps both, | take up my pen, and pro-
ceed. You and l know OF certain
editor, or ex-editor, who used to cut the
letters Of some of his correspondents
pretty freely; perhaps my letters will
share the same fate at your hands. 1t
would, perhaps, be more to your taste
and your subscribers too-if you were
to cut out all between "Dear Advocate"
and the signature. However l hope for
more mercy. What the worll is doing
in Elk, L hear once in a while; bat
whether there are six papers there, or
more,. couldn't say from actual in
spection. Let it be recorded that this
should be remedied.
POLITICAL.
Of course you have heard of the vari
GUS political births in Ohio, this year
and last {: the political deaths will come
in next Fall. First of all. you will please
understand that I'm still a Democrat :;
and feel more copper bottomed than
ever. So don't expect anything but a
fair whacking away at the subject gen.
orally, For l have too good sense, |
hope, to thrust forward Democratic
views through Republican paper, even
if L thought you would publish them.
A paper, nowadays, should publish the
news, as it Isl and in that way / pro-
pose to give it. Nevertheless, allow me
to say, between us two, that if hungry
patriot cant be suited in either the Re-
publican Or Democratic party. he had
better get up little establishment OF his
own, or join the "Libera" party-of
sore-t eads and political bummers. The
situation in Ohio, is, however, decidedly
interesting. The famous ALLEN COUNTY
RESOLUTIONS, which eliminated in
the Liberal or New Party, or Third
Party movement, Convention, Gas it is
differently called) at Columbus, o., on
July 30th, were gotten, up in this city'
and sent off to Allen county, so as to
make it appear they came "fresh" from
the "peope" in the country apart from
the influences of the city ward politicins
They were lntrusted to the FAMOUS
CUNNINGHAM, aud introduced in the
Democratic Convention of Allen countyi
and the joke of the movement coming
from the Democratic party will be better
appreciated when il is consil lered that
Cunningham's Democracy is not over
four or five years old, and only cooled
off to be moulded into Liberalism, when
the Allen Democracy declined to per
NIT him to erect his breeches pocket
into an abiding place for its teanets
Here, in Hamilton county, both odd par
ties are pretty we'll split ap; the back
sliders from Republicanism, | admit
are not SO numerous as those from De-
inocracy but it is hard telling who be-
longs to any party just now. The Lib
erals noninated ticket in this county
last Friday, and the Times newspaper
(the administration tugle) came out
day after the convention, and after prais'
ing the ticket, insinuated it was the dut..

LEGISLATIVE RECESS.

The House passed resolution yesterday
that when the General Asse mbly adjourn
on Saturday next it adjourn to meet again
one week from next Monday. If this re-
cess viii have tendency TO cause the
House TO mend its pace in the jog-trot Of
legislation, we advise the Senate to adopt il
without hesitation. But if there is to be no
improvement IN this respect, let the House
'keep pegging away"
There is one parliamentary change which
the present General Assembly has made
that has not proved reform; that is, the
passing Of bills on the second reading with
out debate. 1t has not fastened the bust
ness of legislation, and has tended to wrap
in darkness even from the vision of the
members as well as of the outer world, the
provisions of the bills which they are called
upon to decide finally upon their third read
ing. There is no member in either House
who will not feel himself instructed by fire.
quent discussion Of every important measure
before the Legislature. a bill is intro
duced. read and passed pro lorna on its
first reading. 1t should then ha referred
to the appropriate committee, considered,
matured and returned with necessary re-
concentrations. Upon its second reading
it should be thoroughly discussed, amended
if need be, and passed or defeated. If re-
jected, there are two full days afterward al
lowed for entering a motion to reconsider.
If passed, there is another opportunity for
discussion, amendment and defeat 1t is
the friction of debate that will make our
brightest and best laws.

DUB CUSTOM HOUSE.

The House bill to appropriate $40c, 200
for the construction Of a Custom House,
Postofiee and Federal Court room at Mem
phis, has passed the United States Senate.
For the passage Of this bill, the Memphis
Alped gives great credit to the untirlng
energy, industry and watchfulness of Hon.
w. w. Vaughn, the present member from
the Memphis district, aided by Hon. Bar
bour Lewis, the member elect from that
district. The appeal says further
1t happens, even now, that incidents of
reconstruction schemes make Memphis in
debted to Senator AlcorD, of Mississippi,
for all that is done in the Senate in behalf
of this city. But for his earnest interven-
ton in our behalf, Mr.. Stevenson, of Ken
lucky, earnestly cooperating, Morrill's
scheme would have been approved, and q
resolution Of simple inquiry passed. The
facts have been so clearly presented by
the two gentlemen designated, and the JUS
tice OF the demand made by Memphis, a
commercial emporium of four great States,
has been so torcibly presented, that the
bill finally was enacted, Saturday, pro-
viding for the expenditure in Memphis of
four hundred thousand dollars in Govern
ment Buildings.
Can nothing be done for Nashville? Can
not the pittsnce appropriated for her be
increased? Where is the petition of our
merchants, and where are Senators
BrownlOw and Cooper, and Representa-
tives Golladsy and Harrison?

IS OOLFAN FOnLa

The Cincinnati Commercial puts it in
this way:
$50 far as the Republican organs are en-
gagged in defending the right Of Congress
men TO take Credit Mobilier stock, they are
wrong and are teaching dangerous doctrine.
The general excuse is that no more legisla-
ton was wanted, and therefore the legisls-
tors had clear right to become purchasers
Of the stock. But the fact stands out that
Cakes Ames was placing the stock as be
said where it would do most good In
fuential congressman were to be quietly
rewarded for what they had done, and pre-
vented from doing anything that would
damage the Credit Mobilier stock. There is
not one of them who did not know when
be touched the stock that ii was dirty, and
the news OF 6 lawsuit was the warning
that they would be exposed. CoIfax is the
only one of the bad lot who did not clear
ly know better than to touch that stock,
and his case is only doubtful. As we heard
a distinguished friend of his observe: The
worst of it about Colfsx is that we may be-
lieve his story. He is soft enough in bust
ness matters to have done what he says he
did, and to have done it innocently.'"
That is to say, Colfax is SO great fool
as not to know wrong from right. That is
putting it stronger than bis worst enemy
would have dared to do few months ago.
1t is rather neat way 10 apologize for his
,'indiscretion." u f. - SUI ...
