CoLtrxBtrs, Ohio, March 25. This Legislature has bran so far perfectly free from the scandals of tbe lobbyist. There are explosive elements here now. The members, of course, can not be held responsible (or tbe creatures that 07 around the "legislative power" like flies abont the sugar, bat they are responsible for being taken In. Tbe canaU achovl-book, telephone, telegraph, railroad and other lobbies are here In force this week.

For the first time this session they hare concentrated. They nave been in separately.bat now they are ail hero. One of the old members said to-day "1 fr something will drop yet before we get away. The hounds are after ns on all hands. Nothing has been done yet, bnt the pressors Is strong.

The canal. Insurance and other lobbies are working the Boose. The school-book lobby and others are working the Sen ate, and when the yeas and nays are published on the Poe resolution It will be seen whether certain ones vote as they talk. There are many on both sides who are 'being with what effect Is yet to be developed. The professional lobbyists have not failed for several years to make a stink.

They are now so eager that certain ones who- enjoy social games of poker do not want them In the deal." The Bouse committee Is giving carefnl consideration to the canal bills. To-day It heard arguments by Mr. Brown, of Procter 6 Oamble, for the Thompson bill, to nse tbe canal at Cincinnati for a belt railroad, and Colonel T.C Campbell, for the Transportation Company, offering to lease the Miami and Erie Canal and Improve it, and never to have any part of It used for other than canal par poses, and no railroad to be granted any part of it. The committee adopted the substitute to lease the canal from Cincinnati to Toledo, all the improvements and the operation to be under the direction of the State Board of Fob-lle Works. Borne members want all of the canals leased, but the opinion now is favorable to the leasing of the Miami and Erie Canal, and after the passage of tbe Weldy bill.

which is Intended to put all of the others in good repair, it is thought that the rest can then be leased to advantage nnder good con tracts, by which they are to be kept In good condition, and returned to the State In as good condition as they were found. The proposition to lease the eailals is favored by members who want to preserve tbe public works, and pat an end to the continuous grasping ot certain parties to get hold of different parte ot them. When the Hoase convened this morning Mr. Love called up his resolution asking Con greet to defeat the Morrison bill. Be made a strong tariff speech and was replied to by Mr.

Johnson, ot Williams, who advocated tariff and revenue reform. Messrs. Bargar, Myers and others took part In the discussion, which consumed all of the morning hour, when the resolution was tabled, and Mr. Johnson, of Williams, gave notice of his intention to re scind rales 13 and 19, so that there would be no morning hour hereafter. The House Judiciary Committee has agreed on the following unanimous report, which gives the Democrats five and the Kepullcaas two of tbe circuits on the vote of low, but an equal division on an average vote: first Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, Warren and Clinton Counties.

The labor required to make these copies cost $e7 15. This sum has been paid by tne Relief Commission.

Tbe necessity of having proper vouchers, which it was Impossible to obtain on Uaturaay, compelled the delay. The drafts in question went forward on Monday, March 17th.

Tbe fact that all these drafts were drawn up in my own handwriting, at my desk. In ray ordinary place of business, is, perhaps, sufficient evidence that I approved of them; but, to make this point perfectly clear, I here declare that 1 did most heartily approve of them, and only regret now, as then, that (Sunday intervening! the mailing of the drafts was necessarily delayed two days.

The Croweii civil rights bill Is fixed now so that no one can find, fault with it, as ltin eludes every thing. The House to-day passed the bill amending the original act. Tbe colored voters certainly have no reason to complain, aad they owe much to the present Legislature.

The Cosgrove bill to condemn property for tbe Cincinnati Morgue became a law to-day. The Franklin Coal Company, ot Nelsoo-Tille, capital fiOOQ, filed a certificate of In. orpo ration to-day.

tbls eonnty, at his foot so badly with an ax that amputation was necessary. This haa been canal day. After spending another half-day in that discussion, the House this evening passed tbe Weldy bill ap- for repairs on tbe canals, his Is less tnan was appropriated last year by SS.000, in addition to the Income therefrom. Mr. Weldy opened with a forensic effort that filled tbe ball with spectators to hear him.

score the lobby that he said was trying to grab State property. Mr. Brunner made a strong speecn la reply to him and Mr. Cole, holding that it was not exercising business judgment to maintain that which did not pay. Mr.

Myers favored the bill strongly, and while be thought tbe useless limbs should be sold to the highest bidder aad the proceeds applied to tbe paying divisions, be did not see how members dared vote against the bill in tne present state of public feeling. Mr. Love argued that it waa not fair to tax tbe counties this way that got no canal benefits. To this Mr. Bargar replied at length, holding that there should now be H.OOO.UX) to the credit of tbe canal, giving the following statistics from 1846 to 18U1: Ohio Canal Gross receipts, all expenses, paid into Treasury, S2.1U3,140.

Miami and Erie Gross receipts, all expenses, paid into Treasury, Muxkinrnm Improvement Gross receipts, ail expenses, loss, Hocking Canal Gross receipts, all expenses, S237.S17; loss, H9.l:. Mr. Stanberry was strongly for the bill, but objected to the for the Hocking Canal, which he considered useless, as it will take ten times that much to repair It. Mr. Cunningham made a strong speech for the canals, as did Mr, Loewensteln, when the previous question was demanded and a separate vote taken on the Hocking appropriation of S10.UU0.

It got in yeas, 61; nays, 81 just one vote more than was needed. There were several dodgers. The bill then passed yeas, 64: uays, 20, i th several dodgers. it distributes the appropriation as follows: Ohio Canal, tTB.OuO; Miami and Erie, Hooking Canal, Muskingum River Improvement, $10,000: Walbonding Canal, Columbus feeder, total. SliS.UUO.

It is recognized that this will kill all of the bill for disposing of tbe canal at Cincinnati, as it was argued that this should be done so as to furnish money to Improve the other parts of the canal. The only measure that is now looked on with favorable consideration is tbe proposition to lease, so as to end this perpetual agitation and secure the public works tor canal purposes, with a specific provision against any appropriation of the same to railroad purposes at Cincinnati or elsewhere. The Senate to-day adopted House joint resolution by Mr. Brunner authorizing the Adjutant-General to loan tents to the State Board ot Agriculture for service at the Slate fair. The Senate Committee on Corporations Other Than Municipal had a lively session this evening on tbe Cable bill resulatine stock-yard companies and their rates, it was being rushed through with recommendation for passage, when Senator W.

L. O'Brien came in and protested rgalnst such action without hearing the parties. Further action on tbe Din was men poatponea. The Staubach Anti-Burkina bill, which be came a law to-day, provides that the Demonstrator of Anatomy Is to examine bodies on their arrival at the medical colleges, and if there are any marks of violence or signs of death from other than natural causes, report tne same a once tne uoroner, togeiner with all Information available, as to where and bow the point was secured. In case of failure to comply inerewitn, mere is a penalty by fine of fcOO, or imprisonment of six months, or both.

Tbe meeting of tbe State Board of Public Works brought a lot of candidates to the city to-day. The list of appointments was completed with John Bwicli, of Xenia, as Assistant Chief Engineer. The. two new Superintendents were assigned the Miami and Erie and tbe Ohio Canals. W.

J. Jackson, formerly chief engineer and recently booked for resident engineer, was appointed to the Miami and Erie. He will have his headquarters at Piqua and be In charge from Dayton to Lock No. 11. Adam Miller was appointed as the Superintendent of the new subdivision of the Ohio James Murray, of Clrclevllle, and George T.

MacCready, of Akron, were appointed as Superintendents on the same canal. John McBride was made Superintendent of the Hocking Canal, and the following Collectors were appointed: J. T. Gibson, Mlddletown; Thomas Harrington, St. Mary's; Wm.

P. Keller, Cleveland: Mills B. Puruy, Akron John Farrer, Masslllon f-arn-nel Fertlg, Canal Dover; w. E. Hin 1th, Dresden; Joseph White, Newark; Frank J.

Smith, Chillicotbe: F. A. Porter, McConnellsville. The bonds of the appointees at tbe last meeting were approved. it is thought to-night that the graded liquor tax bill will pai the equate to-morrow, and that Mickey will be given the seat now held by Loomis.

These two matters will relieve the Senate of most of Its heavy work for this week. Representative 8 tan barb, will to-morrow offer a resolution requiring a two-thirds vote nf tbe citizens to appropriate property for railroad purposes in cities of tbe first class, being Intended to prevent the Cincinnati Southern Railroad from getting Lincoln Park. Hen a tor Myers will introduce a bill to-morrow making a sweeping reorganisation of all the State institutions.

This company has sublet tbe contracts for building tbe road-bed, grading, bridging, stations, round-houses and work-shops to tbe American Constructing Company, of New York, for tbe sum of ,101.171 in bonds aad stock of the railroad company.

The New York, Norfolk and Charleston Railroad Company Is chartered by the States of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina for building a 11ns commencing at either of tbe cities of Norfolk or Portsmouth, in Virginia, aad extending southward through th States of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina to Charleston, a distance of XS0 miles. Tbe line will be part of a tbrougb line from Boston to New York by way of Pbtladelybla. Wilmington and tbe Delaware Peninsula Road. The Delaware Koad Is now being extended southward by tbe Pennsylvania Company to a point opposite lbs northern terminus of th tew York, Norfolk and Charleston Line, and tbe two will connect through tbe waters of Hapton Boads and Norfolk harbor. Tbe no miles of air line from Norfolk to Charleston, by cutting out tbe existing triangular and circuitous lines, will effect a savlnr of Ito miles and seven hours In time between Boston, New York and Pbllapelphla la tbe North, and Charleston, Bavan-ban.

Connections at Charleston with tbe Charleston and Savanab Kallroad give lttbe most direct route fvr ail Florida points? At Ver masse it will have corr-nectlons with the Georgia Central to Sbreveport, and by tbe Texas Pacinc tbrougb to nan Francisco. Tns surveyed and located line Is said to sbow tbe lowest maximum grade ot any railroad in tbe United States, 'the curves will be few, and a high rate of speed can, therefore, be combined wltb the low cost of running. Fuel and water abound aloag the entire line.

In Virginia the line passes tbrougb tb rich agricultural country, where market produce Is raised, and the produce for Northern markets delivered at any station on tbe line before tbe evening of one day, will reach tbe markets of Philadelphia and New York before daylight of the next dav. In North Carolina the line tape the best timber lands of tbe State, and contracts fdV transportation now agreed upon, It is claimed, insure for tbe next twenty years earnings sufficient topsy Interest on bonds secured on three bundred miles of road, and dividends on stock to tbe same amount. The line also runs tbrougb lbs best cotton producing counties in tbe State. The rivers crossed by tbe line, and wbicb will prove Important feeders, are tbs Cbowan, Hoanoke, Tar. Cape Fear and Feedee.

On these streams great quantities of cotton, tobacco, lumber and naval stores are annuallv sbipped. Tbe railroads already constructed and bi sected by the line of the New York, Norfolk and Charleston ar th Albemarle and Rslelgh, ths Wilmington and tvsldon, lbs MidlADd North Carolina, the Wilmington, Columbia and AnguntA. running from Wilmington.

All ot tbe rivers and roads crossed drain a large territory, snd must prove Important feeders to ths direct line crossing tbem, and afford a direct outlet for their freight and passenger tramc No Railroad for McConnellsvllle. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO IKS aNQtrXBCa. KcCoKKiLUvnxi, Ohio, March B. McConnellsvllle Is a town of great expectations.

Its expectations are chiefly In the railroad line. Away back in tbe fifties ths inhabitants of this place endeavored to have a railroad built that would give them a chance to get themselves and their products out into the world. At that time they were confident a road to this place would be built. Tbe road was laid out, and tbe contracts forties, grading, Ac. were placed.

Before tnucn work was done, bow ever, the chief contractor departed for a more Southern clime, leaving every body in the lurch, and tbe hopes of tbe people were so blasted that tbey concluded to give up lb matter. In UtO another railroad fever struck tbem. and tbe prospect for a road was declared to be exceedingly bright. Alasl The company that was to build the road got Into some trouble, and tbe work stepped short at tb distance of about tbirteea miles from town. Up to this writing tbre small steamboats on the Muskingum River are tbe only means uf communication between here and tbe outside world, nnless we except an occasional back from Zsnesvllle, which gropes Its way along tbe rough, tortuous banks of tbe aforesaid river.

Bometiines tbe river is too high, sometimes too low, sometimes too full of ice for the boats to run. Sometimes bosts can not run and tbs roads are Impassable, too. Then there is complete shut-in orhut-out. Incblsday of rapid transit dwelling in such a situated spot soon becomes monotonous. Morgan County ts the only county In the State tbrougb wbicb no railroad runs.

Why this is is almost an enigma. Tbe county Is rich in coal mines, and has within its borders some as flu farms as can ba found in tbe State. There are some enterprising men here. Considerable manufacturing Is done In McConnellsvllle and in tbe smaller town of Malta, wbicb is across tb river and connected witb McConnellsvllle by a bridge. Tbe number of Inhabitants la the two places is about four thousand.

Th water power is excellent, aud only lack of railroad faculties prevents tb place from being a flourishing town. There are three more railroads now laid out on paper on each of which McConnellsvllle ends a place. Colonels they tell me that every railroad man who comes this way Is a Colonel are here In goodly number, each talking long and loudly for his respective road. Colonel boon, of Star Koute notoriety. Is preaeing for right of way along tbe right banker tbe Muskingum from Zanesvliie to Pome-roy, and assures tbs people that if this is obtained bs will begin to build tbe road about the first ot Msy.

I was told that some months since he sssured every body operations would commence on the first of April. Perhaps tbe Colonel Is a wag. Another expected railroaa Is tb Muskingum River Rail road. This, if ever built, ts to run from McConnellsvllle to Zaoesvill. It is fathered by the syndicate that constructed tbe Zf and C.

Railroad. They promise to have this road completed by or o(or the tlnrt day of July, Isns, provided the citixenssiere subscribe a certain sum of money within thirty days, to be paid wben tb road Is in running order. This appears fair, aud tb company is a responsible one. Tbe third projected road bears tbe name of the Cincinnati. Wheeling aud New York Railroad.

This road baa promised much, long and well. A subscription was made fortbis road similar to tb one mentioned. It was to be nalsbed by or before when the citizens were to pay subscriptions. From present Indications this road will never be built, and th subscribers to the project are likely to find their notes, Ac, to tb company null and void In December. Thus tbe indications all point to th old result of railroad building toward McOoa-nellsville no railroad.
