OUR COLUMBUS LETTER.

COLUMBUS, o., May II, 1880.
DEAR Journal Not having been par
ticulsrly pestered by Wood county for ad-
vance sheets Of the law, (os wanting to
know when in thunder they would be ont)
nor for Geological maps, School Reports,
Ohio Statistics, unlimited certified copies
of Especial School Districts" election
precincts, township railroads, etc, ETC.,
feel that so much modesty and patience
should have its reward.
Nine signatures, (nbout $50 paEeH), of
the laws, vol. II, are printed, proved, and
are being distributed as fast as possible
all of the general laws are now in the
hands OF the State Printers, and will be
ready for distribution by the 25th. There
is also 100 Local Bills, of copy" ready
for the printers. The vol.will contain about
300 pages Of township railroad bills and
general rippings-up OF the Revised Statutes.
More than one hundred sections of the
Revised Statutes of 1880 have been amend
ed or repealed.
As usual the State OF Hamilton county has
monopolized the session in fact in this par
ticular session, the said Stale has beon most
bountifully supplied with Legislation, special
and general, and they are satisfied for once.
I may say more than satisfied. The over.
whelming bounty of the "64th" filed
their desires to the brim and their overflow
ing swept away their Board of Health,
and still the 6end pursued her"
Seventy-fve townships, more or less, are
enabled Ito build railroads and lease or
operate the same. The Senate was most
lavish in this respect it even went so far
as to pass TWO bills for one little township
in Auglaize county. This we couldn't
stand and we gouIdn'| We took one away
and donated it to a township of like popu-
lalion IN Psulding county. That particu.
lar township will be somewhat surprised
to find itself "enabled" to build a
railroad, but the Gath didn't do it. The
Clerks OF the Secretary Of States Office are
entitled to the thanks, or eusSes, of that
portion of junction putty"
The Geological maps are being sent ont
as fast as possible. Ohio Statistics for '79
will not be ready for distribution before
the middle OF June. Wood county has
been ably represented. Capt. Wetmore
made hOstE of friends, by his gentlemanly
bearing and exercise Of unlimited good
sense and sound logic, among his
fellow law makers throughout the State.
