GTThe finances of the State of Ohio,
under Wing management, are all that
can be desired. A notice from the Au-
ditor of State to the holders of the Do.
nestle Stock of Ohio, has been issued,
which will be music to the ears of the
tax .payers ofthe State, as we'll as to the
foreign bond holders. The State is pre-
pared to pay the principal on the descrip.
tons of debt enumerated in the notice,
and thus to prevent the accumulation Of
interest, and save the necessity of col.
lecting taxes for either principal or inter.
est. Under the Locofoco rule none knew
the exact amount of the debt of Ohio
but things have changed for the better
The resources of the State are carefully
attended to, and have been found equaI
to the regular payment of interest, as
we'll as for tine liquidation of the domes
