OHIO LEGISLATURE
Objects of Governor Campbell In Calling
AnExtra Session.


COLUMBUS. OHIO. Oct l4.-BOth branches
OF the General Assembly met at 10 A. NJ.
There were thirteen Representatives and
two Senators absent, leaving the Democrats
with a majority Of one in the SEN
ate, and five in the House. As
soon as the Governor was notified
that the Legislature was assembled,
Private secretary Meeker appeared with "a
special message from the Governor, which
was read in each House, and at once re-
ferred 10 the Judiciary Committees. The
House then adjourned to L. NJ. and the
Senate TO 3 i. VI.
Governor Campbell, in his message, says
the extraordinary power of calling a
special session of the Ohio General Assem-
| bly, was invoked on account Of the deplora-
| bic condition Of affairs in the city of Gin
cinnati, which he thinks can be partially
remedied by legislation that will enable the
people OF that city 10 choose GER
tain important boards at the approaching
November election. He recommends that
the Boards Of Public Improvement and
EQUALIZATION in Cincinnati be chosen by the
people of the city. and adds: 1T is almost
unnecessary 10 recite the corrupt prac-
tices which have existed in the
city OF Cincinnati. Members Of pub
lie bodies have trafiicked in their
own votes without shame ana WIN
small. pretense OF cOncealment. A suit be-
tween alleged bribe-takers Is pending in
court for an equal division Of booty, and
honor among thieves has been forgotten IN
the fierce struggle to despOil the people.
With few honorable exceptions, the entire
public service is demoraliZed."
Late this afternoon two bills were intro
duced in the Senate which are intended 10
carry out the policy OF those who wish To
kill the Cincinnati Board of Public lm-
proyemenls. A bill to abolish the Board Of
Public improvements wa, introduced
by Senator PattisOn, Of CleremOnt
county. and senator Caumer sent up
"A similar bill. having for its end the abol-
ishing OF the Cincinnati Board Of Decennial
Appraisement. A motion 10 suspend the
rules aud read both bills the third time
brought on brisk fight, but tailed
to pass by a strict party vote. The
roll-call showed four Democrats voting with
the Republicans, which indicates that in
the Senate, at least, they are not united in
opinion as 10 the best manner In which to
settle the muddle. After the vote was Ia
ken the Senate took a recess until 10 O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
At IL 80 +. NJ. the Democrats are still in
caucus, and 1t Is understood that deter
mined effort Is being made to refer the mat
ter to an Investigating committee TO report
at the adjourned session In January.

Tense appeared In the courtroom. He stated
that he could not appear when summoned,
as his mother was dead. The defense asked
the Court 10 hear the witness. but Judge
Witt gave a. his decision that The witness

On this ruling the ease was carried to the Sh-
preme Court, ana that gave rs its decision In

bef OF cases. Judge witt also gave his de-
cision i'm the case OF James Hudson. charged
with keeping his bar-room open on sunday.

NEW YORK CENSUS.
General Walker Thinks Porter was hon

NEW YORK, October l4.-General Fran
els a. Walker, who was superintendent OF
the tenth census, has written letter which
will be published in the Independent to-
morrow. General Walker denies the state
ment that he recommended Mr.. Porter
for the position OF superintendent of
the eleventh census, he having ON the
contrary favored the appointment Of Carroll
ID. Wright. OF the work performed under
the supervision of Superintendent Porter,
General Walker expresses his belief that il
was honestly and fairly counted, while there
are no good reasons for suspecting the count
made by the police Of New York city was
not also honestly taken. The difference in
favor OF the latter he accounts for by the
fact that the Government enumeration was
taken during the season Of the year when
many residents of the city are absent. and
by the indisputable fact that there has been
lerge influx Of Jewish and other irmi-
grants since June, who have naturally
been included in the later count. General
Walker believes both counts 10 have been
fairly taken under widely different condi-
tons, and demands, in the interest Of JUS
tice. that Judgment upon the Census Bureau
he Suspended until that Department shall
have been heard in defense OF its own
count.
