NEEDED INVESTIGATION.

The Ohio Legislature has at last been shamed
into doing what it ought to have done long
time ago. A resolution has been passed order
ing thorough investigation into all the charges
of bribery and corruption which have been so
widely circulated, since this most malOdOrous
Legislature came into existence. The first
thing to be investigated, of course, is the Sena-
torial election, which comes up somewhat curl
ously on account of the incredible statement by
Mr.. Allen o. Myers that he was offered one
thousand dollars to vote for Mr. Pendleton ana
did not take it. That he should have been
offered that, or any other sum, might De con-
ceived. But the assertion that, being ofereu
that or any other sum, he actually declined IL,
appeared to many members very like an admls-
sion that he had been paid more by somebody
else. Moreover, the open threats made that,
unless members of the Legislature voted as they
were ordered to vote, the sums previously paiu
for their votes in Senatorial matters should be
made public, appear to have borne fruit The
Legislature could hardly suffer the session to
terminate, after such statements had been
made. without some investigation of them, and
there is a possibility that the ugly feeling to
which these threats have given rise, may lead
to more searching and impartial in 7estigation
than was at first contemplated.
If there are self-respecting and honest Demo-
Gratis in the Ohio Legislature, this is good time
for them to show themselves. AS matters
stand, their party rests under the imputation OF
having elected the most constituencies set OF
scoundrels ever sent to any legislative body IN
these United States. The members who go
about during the rest of the session operating
with the whitewash brush may rest assured
that the people of Ohio will class them with the
men whose iniquites they are trying to hide.
The only chance for decent Democrats to get
any credit for themselves or their party, is to
expose without pity any and every corrupt act
of which they can find proof. If in so doing
they are aided by Republicans, they may rest
assured that when the case goes to the people,
as it will next fall it will be infinitely better
for them to be able to show that some Demo-
Gratis tried to be honest than to rest under the
imputation that they were all birds of a feather.

The State Senate has refused to agree to the
Assembly resolution for final adjournment on
May g. without giving any sound reason for Its
action. One member urged that there would
not be time to act on the important measures,
among which he enumerated the Excise bill
and the Civil Service amendment in regard to
soldiers and sailors 1t will be fortunate
thing if both those measures fail to reach the
Governor. The really important bills are so
few that they could all be passed next week.
The General Appropriation bill has already
passed, the Supply bill is before the Senate, the
Census bill has passed the Senate,an the Capt.
toll Appropriation bill need not consume much
time. The Democrats will insist on the usual
large appropriation for the Capitol building,
but the Republicans will be wise to refuse it.
The increase in taxation this year, on account
of prisons and for other purposes, will be con-
siderable. There Is no call for a large appro-
priation for the Capitol. A half-mlllion dol
lars, as proposed by the Senate committee, Is
sufficient.

The matter of reorganizing the Board Oh
Trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge and OF extend
ing the New-York terminus is unnecessarily
complicated with the scheme for the extension
of the terminus in Brooklyn. All OF these
projects are combined in the bill which was
yesterday reported to the Senate. No doupt,
as held by Mayor Low. it would be good
thing to extend the terminus to the City Hau
in Brooklyn; but the increased cost OF service
should be avoided. The section IN the Dill
which practically refuses redress to persons
who may be injured by the careless manage
ment of the structure is also of doubtful pro-
priety. What is wanted now is the reorgan-
ization of the Board and the extension OF the
New-YOrk terminus. All other questions
should go on their merits in a separate meas
ure.
