The case of Jacob Woodring, of Scioto, will serve as a type.

The Senate effected a temporary organization on the first day of the session by electing Peter Hitchcock, of Geauga, as Speaker; Carlos A. Norton, Clerk, and Edward Sherlock, Doorkeeper. This organization was made permanent on the eighth of December.
The Governor's annual message and the formal reports of the State officers were received, and after being read, the various points raised in each were referred to the different committees of the two Houses for further consideration.
On the twentieth of December, Gov. Worthington sent a special message to the Legislature, accompanied by a communication from State Auditor Osborn, on the question of incorporating and encouraging banking institutions in the State.
The Auditor, in detail, suggested that the State subscribe to one-fifth of the stock of each and every bank authorized by law in the State, and that the total capital stock of all the banks incorporated be limited to $5,000.000, of which the State should hold $1,000,000. He estimated that at the end of ten years the State would be deriving a net annual revenue of $120,000.
Gov. Worthington commended the confmunication to the sound judgment of the Legislature, remarking on the danger of schemes of speculation fostered by an inflated currency, controlled by the officers of the banks.
Subsequently the Joint Finance Committee made a report recommending the plan in a modified form.
The total enumeration of white male persons of the age of twenty. one years was 64,814.
During the war of 1812, and the events immediately preceding and following that event, the State of Ohio furnished 23,951 soldiers of all arms, including officers, musicians, rangers, scouts, spies and teamsters, being over thirty-three per cent. of the entire male population of the State, above twenty-one years of age; more than fifty per cent. of those subject to military duty, and nearly fifteen per cent. of all the military forces of the United States called out during hostilities.
Two senators resigned : Wm. Gass, of Licking, Knox and Richland. succeeded by Win. Gavit, and Turkand Kirtland, of Trumbull, succeeded by Eli Baldwin.
