are now pending in the House, and
don't know how many in the Senate
Very few Of these bills are Of enough
importance that .his body should at all
consider them. will admit that there are
some few, and rery fec, that should be
considered and then passed. One among
the many is tocreatr an Advisory Board
OF Pardons in the State OF Ohio. Its
provisions are as follows:
The board shall consist Of four per-
sons, two from each Of the two leading
political parties to be appointed by the
Governor, by and with the consent OF
the Senate. The members thereof to
serve without compensation other than
such as will cover their expenses, for
