THE scene in the lower house OF
the Ohio Legislature ON the occasion
of the passage Of the bill repeating
the notorious Geghan law, very much
resemblcd the exciting times which
were witnessed in the House of Rep.
resentativcs when the attempt was
made to pass the amnesty bill thro
that body. The repeating Of tho Ge-
CHAN law was made party question,
and when, after good deal of filli-
clustering, it was brought to vote,
every Democrat, with one exception,
voted against the repeal, and one Re.
publican was found to vote in oppo-
sition to his party. As the matter had
been pressed to vote without allow
ing time for a discussion, the same
move adopted by Mr.. Blaine was re-
sorted to on this occasion. An imme-
diate motion to reconsider was made
by one of the Democratic members,
which gave them an opportunity Of
speaking on the merits Of the whole
question. That motion, however,
was soon voted down, and thus the
trouble ended. The bill has yet to
come before the Senate before the
obnoxious law will be got rid Of

cord with our free form of govern

or by taxation to educate men for
professions, either Of law, medicine
or theology. Especially do we, the
members of the Iowa State Medical
Society, believe that the appropria-
ton of public funds for the support
of any medical school is fruitful
source of discord and never ending
strife. The large majority of regu-
lar physicians of Iowa have never

FoRr DoDGE, in view Of the con-
templated division Of this State into
two q. s. Judicial Districts, claims
that, being centrally located in the
new northern district, should the bill
Of Senator Allison pass, that city
ought to be fixed as a point at which
the court should be held. There is q
good deal of reason and justice mani
testify in this claim. 1t seems to us
too, that this city, from its measure
bly, central position and location, as
easy Of access, ought to cntitle us to
a like consideration in the Southern
District with Ft. Dodge in the North
ern. The holding of the sessions Of
the U. 8. Courts away upon the bord-
crs of the State, thereby compelling
the travelling of long distances by
spitors, attorneys, and witnesses 10
attend court is not as it ought 10 be.

ALI over the Southern States there
has been practiced the worst kind OF
fraud and intimidation on the part of
Democrats to carry the elections.
This has been particularly the case in
Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
The character Of the late election in
the latter State is now being reviewed
before the U. s. Senate upon the reso-
luton introduced by Senator Morton.
As showing the wonderful change in
the vote of 1873 and that of 1875, we
append the following figures:
In the First Congressional District
in 1879, the vote was: Republican A,
9G; Democratic 9,679; and in the
same district in 1876, the Republican
vote was "none!r and the Democrat
ic l8,4l2. In the Third District for
1873. the Republican vote was l5,O47,
and the Democratic vote GAO, and
in 1875 the Republican vote stood g.
883, and the Democratic vote 1874
In the Fourth District in 1873, the
Republican vote was 15,795; Demo-
ocratic vote 6,S7O, and in 1875 the Re-
publican vote was9, ,9l4, and the Dem
.ocratic vote 1870. In the Fifth Dis
trict in 1874 the Republicans polled
l4,Sl7, and the Democrats S,073 and
in 1875 the Republican vote was TO-
653, and the Democratic 1850. Upon
this state Of fActs the Republic makes
the following just comments:
"These districts are represented by
Messrs. Lamar, Singleton, Money and
HoOker-Democrats. The change Is
indeed significant, and cannot be ex.
planned by any other process than that
Of oppression which the Confederate
Democracy have been for eight years
past engaged in perfecting. The total
vote on members for the last Con.
gress in the districts cited was 8l,675
that for the present members Is o..
996-a total increase of l3,25l votes
There Is an increase shown Of 81, ,4l4
Democratic, and a decrease Of 94,l6s
Republican votes. There is nothing
in the politics Of Mississippi to justi.
fy so extraordinary change BY any
Of the normal agencies and iniluen.
ccs. The only way In which 1t could
be effected Is that one in which thu
Confederate Democrats are SO prof,

The object Of these references il u

In reply to2 request from men,

written letter stating that he can
find no record in the proceedings OF

money having been appropriated for
scctarian schools or charitable pur-
poses within the past ten years. In
this connection we may state, how
ever, chat previous to that time,
special charters were granted TO ccr-
tain incorporated sectarian educa-
tional institutions, giving them large
tracts Of land and exempting the
same from taxation, said lapds being
used for the enrichment OF the cor.

whether the exemption Of these lands
is valid. That 1t Is all wrong in princi.
