Election Of all State Officers.

The Ohio Statesman has the following
ll-timed and sensible remarks upon the
subject of making all State and County
Officers elective directly by the people:
The people Of Ohio are deemed wise
enough to select men to represent them in
the legislature but are not esteemed wise
enough to select their State officers. They
choose their lawmakers, but are not al
lowed to choose their law-expounders.-
The people of the county of Erie or the
county of Lawrence-the county OF Co.
lumbiana or the county Of Vanwert, are
not, by our present constitution deemed
as capable of selecting the three Associate
Judges for their own county, as are the
sventy-two Representatives and the thirty
six Senators, who represent the Senatorial
and Representative districts in the State,
although the chances are, as ten to one
that out of the 108 members of the Legis.
lature, not one in ten ever saw or heard
of the men to be elected, until day or two
before the election, and then the only
question asked is, what is his politics!
The same Legislative body, elected by
the people, are also deemed capable of e.
lecting the Auditor, Treasurer and Secre-
tary Of State, while the people, whose bu-
siness these officers are to transact, are
supposed incapable, under the constitution
ofiudging of the claims and qualifications
of the different candidates. What folly
this is! That 1913 men elected to the leg
isature shall be deemed better qualified to
select officers than the five hundred thou
sand freemen of the State, is the height OF
absurdity, yet we find men who advocate
the doctrine and oppose change of Con-
stitution, because they deem the people
unfit repositories of the trust of electing
an Associate Judge, or Secretary Of
State! Strange as it may appear, the men
who act thus, who thus deny enough ca.
pacity to the people to select their own a.
gents, still call themselves Republicans
still profess to believe our government a
model Republic! Such professions come
but from the lip--not from the heart-they
are unreal and such professions are used
as Tallerand said language to be, ste
conceal thoughts"
Had not the experiment Of electing al
officers by the people been tried and found
to work well, these men might have sor
of an excuse for their opposition, but as
State after State has tried the experiment
and with signal success, this last argumen
is taken from them, unless they openly a
VOW that, which in secret they believe, tina
the people are not fit to be trusted witt

FRANCE AND ITALY. gs, 4.
A letter written by Louis Napoleon to
Ney, says the French Republic did not
send armed troops to Rome to put down
Italian liberty, but on the contrary, it was
to preserve, and to protect it from excess,
and to place the Pontifcal Prince in pow
er, who was the first to take the lead in
useful reforms. He expressed regret that
the benevolent intentions of the Pope, as
evinced by his action, had remained un-
fruitful. eerr'q. as.sa1
Gen. Banden on the I l5th, was appoint
ed to the command of the Army of Italy,
and on the same night started for his des-
tination, with Instructions, should the Pope
not return to Rome to carry out the in
stractions furnished by Louis Napoleon,
to the letter. , ,,r,,. ,,.r.-.
Garabaldi, the Roman Patriot Chief,
who escaped from Rome when taken by
the troops of Ordinot, had reached Genoa,
where he would remain until an opportu-
nifty offered of quitting Italy.
Rumors were afoat that the Pope would
in the end place himself under the protec-
ton of the Austrian flag.
Report also says that Russia would
take the Roman loan. ..r..
The Pope arrived at Naples on the 4th.

JUDICIARY PRoGREss.-A proposition
will be submitted to the Indiana Conven-
ton for revising the Constitution of that
State, to so amend the law that the num-
Der of jurors empanneled on trial will
be smaller, and the majority of the jury
enabled to give verdict. Many strong
arguments are urged in favor of the
change desired, from the interminable
length to which trials are at times extend
ed, and the difficulty Of twelve men COM
ing to correct conclusion concerning a
case, without sacrifice on some side, Of
either conscience or judgment.-Dayton

Taxation Of Public Lands.

The National lntelligencer is indebted
to gentleman in the General Land Office
for the information given below, which is
important both to nonresident owners of
public lands and those who propose to
purchase, but which many Of Them may
be ignorant of-that is to say: By an act
of Congress approved the 26th January,
1847, the assent of Government was given
to the several States admittedinto the Uni
on prior to the 24th April, 1890, to impose
a tax or taxes upon all lands thereafter sold
by the United States from and after the
day of such sale. The States admitted
prior to that date, are Ohio, Indiana, ILL
nois, Alabama, Mississippi. and Louisiana
Indiana has already, by legislation, avail.
ed herself of this permission and doubt.
lessly the others soon will. Prior to the
passage of this act, lands paid for in cash
were not taxable until five years from the
date of sale, and those located by "Late
War" Warrants until three years from
date of patent.

The BEGINNING, BUT NOT THE END.-Ihe
towboats Anglo-Saxon and Ocean have
been chartered by the Government, at the
price of $4,000 each, to carry United
States troops from New Orleans to Tampa
Bay. In addition to the $4,000, each OF
heboats is entitled to 16 days. demurrage,
at the rate of 800 per diem. The delay
has been owing TO the miscarriage Of the
dispatches ordering the troops from Jeffer'
son Barracks to Florida. 400
Such is the beginning Of the cost fthis
Florida war, which the "Republic," Gen
Taylor's organ, said was carried on by
less than 100 savages. What the end
will be, can be told when the people have
to foot the bill. -e.
