Settlement of The Difficulties in Ohio.—The difficulties in the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of Ohio have, we are glad to perceive, been placed in such a position, as to render it probable they will shortly be satisfactorily settled. The contested seats are to be submitted to a test, and left to the judgment of the remaining members. Although there has been much delay in arriving at this conclusion, we are glad to see that party spirit has given way to sense and moderation at last. The members must work hard to remove the stigma which their recent disgraceful conduct has inflicted on their own characters, as well as on that of the State of which they are representatives.
