ILLINols.-The message of Gov. French
was laid before the Legislature on the 9th
inst. The telegraphc despathes give the
following spnoysis Of its contents:
He represents the accruing revenue as
more than sufficient to meet the current de-
mand OF the Treasury. The public debt Of
the State, including the Canal debt, is SIG, ;
527 500. The unsold Canal Lands are ex-
pected to realize $4 900 900. ~
He is in favor Of Homestead Exemption,
and opposed to all Bank charters, and rec
ommends the acceptance of Holbrook &
Co.'S conditional surrender of their charter
to build the Central Rail Road and its dis
posal to the Company that will do it on the
best Terms.
He speaks favorably Of the compromise
measures, and says that they will be faith
fully observed and adhered to by the pso-
pie Of Illinois, as the only means Of preserv-
ing harmony.

~ It is favorite doctrine with the mo-
nopoly Wings of Ohio that the prosperity
Of State is mainly dependent upon Banks
and paper money system; and to hear
them prate about bank destruction when
ever the currency question is alluded to,
one would suppose that without banks and
paper money there could be no intelligence,
no enterprise, no prosperity. But we sup
pose these institutions are no more necessa-
ry in Ohio to the prosperity of the people,
than they are in Iowa, and that bank fail
ures and an expanding and contracting cur
rency would operate alike upon the inter-
ssts Of the people in both States. Iowa is
destitute Of the blessings which paper mon
ey banks afford, and yet she is on the high
way to wealth and prosperity. Ohio has
enjoyed the peculiar blessings which paper
money banks afford for many years; and
does any one believe that her prosperity
has been promoted thereby? that the many
bank failures which have robbed the HON
est producers of the State of millions OF
dollars, and the expansions Of to-day and
contractiens of tomorrow have added to
her wealth and happiness9 '.
The new Governor Of iowa, in his Inau-
gural Address delivered Dec. A, thus speaks
of the eondition of that State wi,hout the
blessings which these rag-mills afford:
@With no banks among US to create dis
tress and panic by their failures contrac-
tions and expansions, with but few incorpo-
rations except those formed under general
laws, our citizens, relying on their own in
dustry and frugality, are advancing stead.
lily to competence and wealth, showing to
the world that bank indulgenees, paper mo-
ney, and special privileges, are unnecessary
to secure to people happiness and pros
perity." zas.s -sa

@ L. Case, one of the members Of the
Constitutional Convention elected as Dem
ocrat and who voted against Mr.. Humph-
reyville's proposition to insert clause Civ
ing the Legislature the unconditional power
to repeal charters, has written a note to the
Statesman in which he says: ~Tbat the
doctrine Of repeal is democratic doctrine
that when the public good requires it,
any act of Incorporation may be repealed
provided that compensation for damages, if
any, be made to the corporators, and that
there ought to go into the new Constitution
reservation of the absolute unqualified
right Of repeal to operate prospsctively."
This, undoubtedly is the position of those
Democrats who voted with the wings a.
gains this proposition. They all go for
the right of repeal with a 'proviso.' They
acknowledge that the doctrine is Demo-
cratic doctrine. And yet, who before ever
heard the Democracy advocating this epro-
viso" No one. 1t is an Interpolation, and
one to which the party never did and never
will subscribe. The Democracy claim that
the power Of the people to reconsider the
acts Of their legislative servants has never
been yielded up-t that The Legislature new
possessed the power to grant franchises
which the people could not revoke-that the
right Of repeal is an inherent one, and with
out which the people may become the mere
slaves Of corporate power which they are
uuwittingly fostering and nourinshing in
their midst. ' 80

Pittsburgh Charter Election.

The Charter election in Pittsburgh took
place on Tuesday last. A despatch to the
Plain Dealer says: @Joe Barker is defeated,
and Wbiggery goes back into its hole.
Guthrie, Democrat, is elected Mayor of
Pittsburgh 700 majority"
This result shows who were the sup
porters of Joe Barker at the former cleo
ten. The Wings, fearing the election Of
a Democrat, abandoned their regular NOM
inee, and supported Barker, and afterwards,
in justification, declared that he was good

Great doings at AshtabuIa.

The Ashtabula Sentinel Informs US that
q large wolf was captured alive in the
township of Wayne last week. He was
driven from swamp in Bloomfield, frum-
bull county, by hunters, and pursued sev.
eral days. On Tuesday he was seen IN
tine south par. of Waynsan holly pursu-
ed by P. L Matthews, Grin Forbes and
George Wolsey, with dogs. After passing
through the most thickly settled portion Of
the township much to the alarm Of the
women and children, he was overtaken
near the Pymatuning Creek, and after a
short but exciting welffght was captured.
A dog chain was fastened around his neck,
and he was led by one Of his captors,
while another held on 10 his tail to the vii.
Iags Of Lindinyille. 1t appears that this
wolf is an old settler in Ashtabula. Sew.
en,een years since, he lost two toes from
bis left foot in a trap set for his wolf.ship,
by Ferris Webster, then Of Jefferson, but
now Of Kingsville. Almost every year
since that period, his track has been seen
by hunters in different townships, but here
tofore he has eluded their vigilance. His
former sugacity will now probably cost him
his scalp. 2s9 -5s@
{ The Sentinel also relates that lost week.
Richard Merton, Of Jefferson, killed and
hung up, during the week, nine fine deer.
This equals what used frequently to occur
in the early settlement of the County, when
this kind of game were numerous. Such
luck rarely rewards the toll Of the hunter
now.a-day. - 3
