When the Senate met at 10 A. M., Monday, December 1. it proceeded to a tempo- rary organization by electing Samuel Wheeler, of Geauga, Speaker; David Collins, Clerk, and Horace Wolcott, Sergeant-at-Arms. This was later made the permanent organization.
David Smith was admitted to a seat within the bar as a reporter for the Monitor.
Mr. Morris, from a select committee, called attention to the enforced absence of Andrew Mack. a Senator from Hamilton, who was held within the jail bounds of that county on two attachments in favor of the Bank of the United States, issued upon two several judgments. On the second of December, the Senate took action declaring the detention to be a violation of legislative privilege, and adopted, by a vote of seventeen to sixteen, a resolution instructing Senator James B. Gardiner to proceed to Hamilton county and notify Mack that his presence was required in the Senate. On the sixth of December, Mr. Gardiner, as the Senate's special messenger, made report that he had served the notice on Mr. Mack, and that he was in the Senate ready to take his seat, the writs of detention having been annulled.
On the second of December, the two Houses met jointly, canvassed the votes and announced the result of the election for Governor. Allen Trimble received 53,970 votes ; John W. Campbell, 51,195, and there were 112 scattering votes ; total vote 105,277 ; Trimble's majority, 2,673. He was accordingly declared elected, and on the tenth of December duly inducted into office in the presence of the two Houses.
In his annual message Gov. Trimble discussed the subject of canals and other in- ternal improvements, recommended the encouragement of domestic manufactures and education, and such a revision of the laws as might be conducive to good order.
He also announced the resignation of William Henry Harrison as United States Senator, and urged the Legislature to elect his successor as speedily as possible.
The House adopted a resolution on the fourth that the two Houses meet on the eleventh and elect a Senator. The Senate failed to adopt the resolution. A call of the Senate was demanded, and it was developed that fourteen Senators were absent. A quorum of two-thirds not being present, the Senate adjourned, This is the first record of a quorum of cither House being purposely broken.
Subsequently, the two Houses agreed upon a resolution, fixing 3 P. M., of the tenth of December as the date for electing a successor to Gen. Harrison. At that hour the two Houses assembled jointly and elected Jacob Burnet, of Hamilton county, to the United States Senate. The Journal of neither House records the vote, and he was, presumably, elected without opposition.
The question of organizing a State bank, was brought up in the Senate by a joint . resolution offered by Mr. Hale, of Greene.
The Canal Fund Commission reported an additional loan of $1,200,000 at six per cent., payable after 1850, on which a premium of $48,S40 was received.
The Canal Commissioners also made their regular report, showing rapid and fa- vorable progress in the work of construction, and giving in detail the various Items of expenditures.
