CLEAN AND TASTY

The House really looks more clean and
tasty than ever before, owing to the fact
that it has been rettted and refurnished
since the adjournment. New desks have
been placed in the Hall, and magnificent
chair furnished for the Speakers throne.
Speaker Neal well deserves the compliment.

But as to the House of Representatives
and its occupants, for they are the machine
statesmen who grind out wholesome laws
as the hopper'does -four, they are all here
and ready and anxious to draw their per
diem of IS with great regularity and the
most captivating urbanity. 1t is surprising
to see their willingness to throw them
selves into the breech for this amount of
salary.

Columbus Letter.
Special Correspondence of the Star.


COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 8, 1879.
On Tuesday afternoon January 7th, the
adjourned session of the Sixty third Gen
eral Assembly resumed lis session, and
there was gathering of the statesmen from
all sections of the State.
THE JACKSON JUBILEE.
After few hours of hand-shaking and
journed over Tuesday in order to give the
simon pure Democracy an opportunity to
celebrate, by feast and festivity, the ami
versary of Gen. Jackson's great achieve
ment at the battle of New Orleans. But as
usual in the Democratic ranks all was not
harmony, and the question was whether
the Old Democracy or the Young DemOc-
racy should rule the destinies of the great
celebration. The youngsters were triumph
ant and made their arrangements accord
ing to the more modern ideas of Young
America.
They sent out invitations both far and
near to the great and mighty leaders of The
party in Ohio. The result was that it
brought together such an array of ability
as has never before assembled at like oc-
casion, among whom we can mention
Hons. Geo. w. Morgan, Durbin Ward,
Ten Ewing, Geo. II. Pendleton, John A.
Shank, Geo. l.. Converse, and host of 9TH
er legal and political lights. But to cut it
short, all went as merry as marriage bell
till the small hour o'morn. For Jackso-
nian celebration the Democracy are a sue
cess.
Owing to the fact that Senator Thurman
could not be present. some curiosity was
entertained to hear read his letter of regret
AS a document it will not rank with the
Constitution or the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and fell short of that great states
man $ former productions.
Gen. Ewing made a most elaborate ad-
dress on the financial issues, both past and
present, and paid glowing tribute to Gen.
Jackson and Allen G. Thurman, who seems
to be his ideal sta esnan, except, perhaps,
Mr.. Ewing himself.
Our own elegant and eloquent Senator
Pendleton made an able and characteristic
speech, reviewing the financial question
even more searchingly than did General
Ewing. But THE speech of the evening was
that of Gen. Durbin Ward. He even sur
passed himself in eloquence, and showed
himself to be worthy of the tutorship of
Thomas Corwin. All and all a great deal
of wine and eloquence flowed in the ban
quet hall.

able that the present session would repeal
the act authorizing the Board of Public
Works, your ambassador has been keeping
his ears open to hear of the introduction of

On the contrary, bill has been introduced

MOVEMENT ON cox.

Some little excitement was created in iu-
dicial circles when it BECAME known that
a movement was on foot here 10 impeach
Judge Cox of the Hamilton County bench,
and no little curiosity was exhibited to find
ont upon what grounds the charges were
based. Their curiosity was allayed to-day
when large bundle of manuscript was
presented officially to the House and ordered
spread upon the Journal of the House.
The charges cover nearly all the crimes
mal-feasance, mis-feasance and non-feasance
in office, and many other feasances too
numerous TO mention. A committee of
five was appointed to investigate the charges
and to report at an early day.

The creditors of William Lamping &
Co., OF this place andsurrounding country,
met here Tuesday, to adj just their claims.
Mr.. William Lamping, the head Of the
firm being present, the gentleman made q
proposition to the creditors which was
about MS follows: He offered to place in
the hands OF the ecreditOrstheir good claims,
which amounted to something near one
third OF the amount Of their Indebtedness,
II they (the Creditors) would release them
from all further obligations. The PROPOSE
ton was almost unanimously rejected, and
as far as coming to any terms in tho mat
ter, they are not any nearer settlement
than before. One OF the creditors told
your correspondent that the firm acted as
though they would like to settle the mat
ter under the old bankrupt law, but Us that
was thing Of the past, they could not ad-
here to such proposition. A good many
ot the creditors left for home tonight,
and the CHANGES looks poor indeed for ad-
iusting the difficulty, however, VIC await
developments.
We learn that Mr.. W. A. Talbot, jr.,
