CINCINNATI, February {, 1874.
To the Editor of the Standard:
The Constitutional Convention has
spent the greater part of this week in
determining whether the Governor of
Ohio shall exercise the veto power ornot,
and finally agreed, by a vote of 62 in
favor of the veto, to 2S against; but it is
'worded in such way that it amounts to
nothing, (as it should 1t is simply
this; Any bill passed shall be sent to
the Governor, if he approves it, it be-
comes law; If not, he returns it with
his objections, and if it again receives a
majority of both Houses it becomes a
law. The only benefit to be derived
from this will go to the-well, it will
prolong the sessions of the Legislature.
In the proceedings of Congress a few
days ago we found the following, which
may be of interest to some of your
readers:
Mr.. BUTLER, of Mass. (R), introduced joint
resolution providing that all cases under the
civil service examination for government po-
sitions, when disabled soldier his wife, or the
widow of a soldier who died of wounds or diSa-
b1lt1es contracted in the service, shall pass the
examination at the required standard fixed by
the rules, such person shall have precedence to
the appointments. Passed.

will, we learn, induce a. member of the
Legislature to introduce bill to prevent

fishers of the Cincinnati Enquirer from
continuing the publication of what is
known as the Personal Column" These
advertisements are published by the En-
qatirer free of charge, and it contains from
two to four columns daily. We give a
few specimens of this Democratic litera-
ture-it needs no comments, it speaks
for itself:
