BANKS,


The Steubenville Messenger, a neutral
paper, thus notices the "false alarm"
raised by the Ohio State Journal. and
echoed by other wing prints. that under
the new tax law 'the banks will close their
business. withdraw their circulation, and
the business men of the community will
be compelled to look elsewhere for their
circulation" We believe the Journal is
rather premature in this understanding
a "false alarm" no one believes the
new mode Of taxing the banks will induce
them to 'close operations" The taxes
on these institutions will be vastly increas.
cd undoubtedly-but even under this in.
creased rate, banking will still be more
profitable than any other business. If they
have heretofore escaped paying a fair
proportion OF taxes. which seems TO be
generally believed, they should be thank.
full tor such past exemption, and submit
gracefully to the new system, which places
bank stock upon the same footing as other
property. This is all that is demanded by
the people. and who can claim that it is
not fair and just? No one, certainly

THE CITY BANK OF CINCINNATI.

The Ohio Union remarks that the Au.
ditor, Treasurer and Secretary of State,
in pursuance Of the 44th section of the
Bank Law Of l844-'45. have recently
employed Maj. WIN. F. JOHNSON. Of Gin.
%cinnati. to investigate the condition of the
"Independent Banks" Of Ohio. Maj. J.
has Just concluded his investigation Of the
condition of the City Bank of Cincinnati
a Bank which was selected by the illus.
trious Galphin predecessors of the present
officers OF State as a depository of the
publ; moneys!
In the canvass which placed the Demo.
cratic party in power. we were told by the
Bank organs that a Democratic ascen.
dancy would seal the fate Of the Banks;
and now. since the Banks have been com.
PEELED. by the late law. to become. to a
very limited extent, taxpayers instead Of
t%ax.eaters, exclusively. we are told by their
organs that they are about to "wind up"
We are rather inclined to the belief. that,
like the City Bank Of Cincinnati. they in.
tend to "blow up!" But we are DEPRESSING.
In pursuance Of authority from the
Democratic officers Of Estate. Maj. JOHNSON
has recently investigated the condition OF
the CITY Bank Of Cincinnati, and, as we
learn. demonstrates by facts and figures,
that it is rotten TO the core! This Bank
was one Of the especial pets of Auditor
WOODS and A. A. BLss-and Maj. J.
reports that If the State should make a de-.
mand Of the one hundred Mousand dollars
which was deposited therein by Treasurer
BLISS. it would be compelled to suspend
payment!
We shall look for the official report with
much anxiety;-and in the meantime. we
advise people to "stand from UNDER

TIL TAX LAW.

We understand that some of our sub.
scribers are finding fault with US for our
article. in our paper Of May 70. relative
to the New Tax Law. Thst article wal
written. not as a defence Of the law. bu, 10,
give a comparison ofthe exemptions under
the old and new laws-leaving the reader
10 form his own conclusions. If his ION.
illusions have been u~nfavorable to the new
law, we should not, therefore, be charge.
able with anything further than what we
are really guilty of.
In the article referred TO, we stated that
the principal question was as to tho pro.
priety Of any exemption at all. W. are
Of opinion that If any exemption ought to
be made it should only be on such small
articles as 60 to make up the conveniencies,
about every mans house, and which it,
would be ridiculous to attempt 10 tax or to
fix a value upon. Although the CoDs,itu.
ton provides tina, personal property to,
an amount not exceeding in value two
hundred dollars for each individual. may,
by general laws be exempted from taxa.
%tion," yet if an exemption Of fifty or ono
hundred dollars we're made it would be all
sufficient to cover all such small items az
we have reference to. The man with but
two hundred dollars Of personal property
is as much protected in the peaceful on.
joyment of that property as the one with
five hundred dollars worth, and should
consequently pay. according to his means,
for that protection.
We have, heretofore, stated that il there
was a falling off in the personal property
Of the county, it would be more from q
want of a proper understanding and on.
forcement Of the law than from any defect
in the law itself. And since the Assessors
have made their returns we are well eat.
isfed that such is tho fact. In the town.
ships of Franklin, Seneca, Summit and
Sunsbury. there has been more personal
property returned this year than last; while
in the balance of the county there has
been much less. Now why is this9 Eve.
ry man in the county knows that those
townships have not increased in wealth
faster than the others. The only reason
why they have increased is because the
law was more rigidly enforced by tho Az.
SCISSORS. Perhaps in the river townships
the late flood may have made some differ.
ence.
In Seneca township the increase over
last year is over seven thousand dollars;
being some seven hundred dollars more
than all the property returned in jackson
township, and the increase in Summit ia
