COLUMBUS. Feb. s. 1881


The House met Monday morning.
Although we had a quorum present, a
great many members were absent, and
the House not full yesterday. A good
many local bills were passed on Monday.
The Senate did not have quorum, and
did no business. In fact they have not
much to do until the House sends some
business over for them to act upon.
Members of the House with their
usual energy and industry, continue to
present new bills for the consideration
Of statesmen-mOst of them of local
character or general application, and
nine out Of ten of them never ought to
have been introduced, and are only
originated and introduced for the pur-
pose Of gratifying the ambition Of
members who seek to become great
men on the mistaken idea that their
appreciation with their constituents de-
pends upon the number of bills they
are able to furnish rather than the
quality Of the offspring.
Representative French has not been in
his seat for several days on account of
sickness. Senator Pond is also sick and
unable to be in his seat. Representative
Payne has gone home, sick. His sick
ness is of u chronic character, and he
has been granted and indefinite leave
of absence.
A bill passed the House yesterday to
prohibit corpOreal punishment upon
cOnvlcts in the penitentiary. 1t received
a large majority, and is regarded as a
proper departure from the old barbar-
GUS infections upon convicts.

THE "JsANNErTE."

Mr.. KEENAN,, of New York, has written
avery interesting letter giving his views of
the best means of relieving the crew of
the Jeanette. Having travelled on the
Lena river to Irkutsk and Jakutsk, he is
familiar with the country, and is able to
give great deal of valuable information
on this subject. He is of the opinion that
it would be useless to send vessel to the
mouth of the Lena, inasmuch as she could
not get there before next summer or fall.
and that, of course, puts such an expedi.
ton out of the question. He thinks that
the people of the Jeanette ought, provided
they are able to travel, to proceed with as
little delay as possible to Irkutsk. He
states, however, that the journey is very
rough and tedious one. Probably it would
take more than month under the most
favorable circumstances, and if the men
are weak and ill it might be altogether too
much for them. The presumption is that
they are weak and i'll. At least we have
already been told that all the crew of
Lieutenant De Longs boat were suffering
from frost-bitten limbs, and such injuries
may very easily proceed to modification
and death if food is insufficient or of poor
quality. It is very improbable that men in
this state could undertake long and
toilsome land journey, during which they
would not only be subjected to incessant
lettings, but also to a temperature so low
as to endanger an aggravation of their in.
iuries. In fact it seems probable that the
rescued men will have to stay at the mouth
of the Lena until they have recovered
their strength. and as this is likely to take
some time the wisest course might be to
send an abundant supply of whatever is
most needed by them, to their present
place of soiourn. Certainly it would be
great mistake to hurry them forward be-
fore they are in condition to travel, for
such haste would be very apt to cause
the loss of the weaker members before they
reached home. After the sufferings they
have undergone Nature will Insist upon a
period of complete rest and repose and
unless they can have this in such way as
to break their journey, we fear that many
of them will sink under the hardships OF
the sledge-drive to Jakutsk.

THE MACHINE" IN Pennsylvania.

The Clan Cameron is evidently on the
war-path, not only in Pennsylvania, but
In Congress, and it has thus far had every
thing its own way. In the State there has
for some time been a growing dissatisfac.
tion, which during the last campaign took
form in tentative effort at reform. 1t
was too feebly urged to shake the suprem-
acy of the politicians who have controlled
the State so long, but it met with SO hearty
popular reception as must have convinced
Cameron that second experiment of the
same kind would imperil his rule.
And therefore he and his lieutenants are
bent upon crushing out all resistance now
that they have the power, and forcing the
lukewarm and hostile Republicans to sub.
NIT TO discipline. No doubt the "ma.
chine " men are shrewd in their generation,
but there are already signs that the one
man power is resented, and that even poll
ticians are preparing to rebel against the
Camerons. Severity and audacity are per-
haps the test cards the latter now hold,
but they are by no means the best cards in
the pack, and behind them there is moth
ing. The Camerons may swing the ma
chine :" whip for time, but they are
approaching period when they will have
to encounter thu adverse opinion not only
of their own State but o: the whole coun.
try, and they will then have to realize that
the "nAchins is not everything, no mat
ter how skillfully it be handled.
