Correspondence of the Star.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 15.
The legislative mill continues to grind
slowly in the way Of actual work, but the
great statesmen give assurance that they
will make up for lost time within a few
days. For the present they are occupied IN
sending public documents to their constitu-
ents-a copy of the Agricultural Report to
their legal friends, and copy OF last win
ters laws to the raisers of broom-corn.
The Little Legislature from Hamilton
promises many legislative gifts to the good
people of Cincinnati during the session.
Representative Lovelace will, with one
stroke of his master mind, wipe out the
Board of Public Works, and also regulate
the white elephant of our municipal me-
nagerie, the Southern Railroad; while
Klimper will regulate the Sheritf's adyer-
tising.
Senator Armstrong promises to give Gin
cinnati State institution in the form OF
branch of the State Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum, and Jessup will see to it that the turn
pixies are kept in good condition between
Cincinnati and Delhi.
Quite a number of the "solid men" of
luG Que6n SlIy are lcIc lhOIC vi 1903 ih'SA
ested in the various measures now pending.
Hons. Alex. Long, John f. Follett and Mr.
7. c. Campbell came up this morning and
Mr.. L. A. Harris this afternoon. Mr.. Long
| is here in connection with the Levine ex-
tradition matter and Mr.. Follett on Su-
preme Court business. Both gentlemen
were inquired of concerning the alleged
charges against Judge Cox, and both ex-
pressed themselves to the effect that the
charges were false and frivolous, and as
serted that Cox on the bench was urbane,
prompt, able and honest.
| The committee to whom the charges
were referred met this morning, and de-
termined that on the face of the complaint
there was no cause for action. They will
wait, however, for the full records OF the
case complained of.
T,C. Campbell was warmly greeted by
many friends in both the House and Sen
ate. Mr.. Campbell probably has as large
an acquaintance as any man in Cincinnati
among the public men of the State, owing
to his long term of service in the Wood
County investigation and the Cox-Harmon
contest. He says that Judge Cox invites
the fullest investigation into his judicial
life of fifteen years, and asks no favors.
j In the House this afternoon, Mr.. Hart
of Knox County, presented bill to reor
ganize the municipal government OF Cleve
land. 1t provides for Board of Public
Works, with powers almost unlimited, ant
will have the appointing power of the Cit.

Mr.. Booths Fee Bill to regulate and re
duce the fees of county officers was up fol
. debate this afternoon, and was ably de
: Tended by its author.
The canal question sleeps for the present
but will come up for debate in day or two
1t will be carefully watched over by Gin
cinnati capitalists, who are now here in it
interest. ANON.
