ANNALS OF PROGRESK.
19; John S. Weistling, 17. On the seventh of December, theserpentistin was male the permanent one, without opposition.
Charles B. Flood, James Gillett and John Duffey were adulting as reporters of the press to the privileges of the floor of the Senate
The Governor's message was largely devoted to the questions of france aod der rency, owing to the unfavorable condition of banking and financial institutions throughout the entire country.
The Judiciary Committee having had sundry inemerials referred to their, tennis- ing the issue of money or scrip, in the similitude of bank bills, by the Mail River and Lake Erie R. R. Co., reported thereon and submitted a bill declaring such acts by corporations, not authorized banks, an usurpation of corporate power, and pre- hibiting the same, as dangerous to the public welfare and in the encouragement of fraud.
Eliphalet Brooks, of Huron county, offered a petition asking the Legislature to remit a fine imposed on him for assault and battery upon one Ruth A. Hale, but the Judiciary Committee declared that aside from any question of justice that talght he involved, it would be a dangerous precedent for the Legislature to interfere with the judgments of the courts, or undertake to correct their real or supposed errors
Petitions for the repeal of the " Black Laws" and the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia were numerous in both the Senate and the House, but felted of favorable reports and consideration. On the other hand petitions were presented to prevent the migration of black and mulatto persons into the State of Ohio.
The Judiciary Committee reported that in cases where proceeding in convicting and sentence to the penitentiary are reversed, it is but justice that the State and not the county should pay the costs of prosecution, since the error is cammittel by judges appointed by the State, and not by the county, the State being responsible for the acts of its officers.

The Commissioners of Banking and Currency submitted their report on the con- dition of financial affairs in the State, and going over the whole subject of the sus- pension of specie payments. The commissioners merely submitted the facts as they found them, but made no specific recommendations.
Much remedical legislation along the lines of the report was proposed, but owing . to the abrupt termination of the session, but little of consequence was enacted. No other legislation, general in its application, and of special importance was enacted.
The two Houses met in joint convention on the sixth of August, 1842, and elected the following :
President Judge Ninth Circuit-Wm. B. Caldwell.
Associate Judges-Christian Myers, Union; Robert Moore, Hamilton ; Hugh Gamble, Richland; Sumner Knight, Wood; Wm. Gill, Pickaway; Guy Morgan, Wood; John W. Greenwood, Stark; John Sherman, Ashtabula; 'Benj. F. Avery, Geauga; Luke Draper, Lucas.
E. N. Sill and Griffith Foos, from the minority of the Congressional District Committee made a report against the bill submitted by the majority, as being sub- versive of the intent and meaning of the Constitution.
The end of the session, which came on the twelfth of August, was dramatic. On a call of the roll of the House, the following members failed to respond : Ackley, Smith, Titus, Taylor, McCrea, Clark, Dunham, Evans, Kelly, of Cuyahoga, Powell, Chenowith, Gregory, Converse, Fudge, Brown, Scott, Cook, Fuller, Bliss, Wheeler, Gard, Updegraff, Schenck, Smith,Warner, Bowen, Chambers, Streator, Hawkins and Probasco.
This left the House without a quorum, and the Speaker issued his warrant to the Sergeant-at- Arms for their arrest. In the meantime the most of them had tendered their resignations to the Speaker of the House and Gov. Corwin, and defied the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest them.
There being less than a quorum present, Speaker Rufus P. Spalding, subsequently one of the lending jurists of the State, declared that the resignations could not be accepted, and appealed to the Governor as to the method of procedure. Gov. Cor- win responded that the question of the sufficiency of the resignations rested with the members of the House who had responded to their names.

was : Shannon, 8,197; Corwin 6,949; King. 171, so that the actual vote cast was : Shannon, 127,971 ; Corwin, 124,851 ; King, 5,305 ; with a plurality of 3,120 for Shannon.
On the fourteenth of December, Gov. Shannon was inaugurated in the presence of the two Houses and the State officers, delivering an appropriate address.
Retiring Gov. Corwin had previously sent in his annual message in which he had discussed the various public questions and urged the Legislature to deal with them firmly, with moderation, discretion and wise judgment.
During the recess of the Legislature, the Directors of the penitentiary had re- moved Wm. B. Van Hook from the office of warden, and the matter was referred to a select joint committee for investigation. The majority of the committee made a report, after taking a great deal of testimony, sustaining the action of the Directors, so far as the exercise of the undoubted right of removal was concerned. The testi- mony and the report showed that Van Hook was an efficient officer, but had incurred the hostility of contractors and others connected with the institution. From the beginning the convicts had been placed at hard labor, either for the State direct or through contractors who paid the State a stipulated price for their services. Similar disputes were of frequent occurrence both before and after this particular incident, which was the first to become conspicuous.
The first official record of the arrival of a Chinese in the State was made in the joint resolution of January 25, 1843, to admit a Chinese child (name not given) to the .Asylum of the Blind. The child had been brought into the country by Mrs. Gutz- laff, evidently a missionary. It was given tuition at the expense of the State for the period of five years.
The Governor and Secretary of State met with the Senate and opened the abstract of votes for members of Congress, declaring the following elected in the respective districts :
