Gov. MedllI on Taxation.

The Governor has much TO say in his late
Message on taxation in our good State Of Ohio,
and on the duty of spending tho public mo.
ncy economically. His talk 10 wcll enough,
but would have been better had it been a lit
lie more thorough. With all his apparent
anxiety to diminish taxation, and secure hon
esty and economy in expenditure, he handles
the subject very daiutily and tonderly. Why
had be not the honesty and boldncss to say
that ,he Public Works of the State are, and
are TO be, an endless expense, and that we
had better sell them at once to the highest
bidder, and then tax ourselves 10 pay off the
public debt and be done with il? When he
says that, County, City, Township and other
municipal corporation taxes, constitute the
greater amount Of assessments" and when be
adds, "that very large porsiono Of the e1pen-
ses Of counties is paid by fees, Of which no
record i' kept" why had he not the courage
10 recommend that the salaries Of county Of
fccrs be fixed at a certain sum, and they com
PEELED to pay all fees into the County Treasu-
ry. Why has Gov Msdill blinked that
open and most prolific source Of public eK-
pensc, the manufacture and sale Of intoxicat-
ing drinks? Alas, that man canno! be
found who will havethe courage to probe this
that unbearRble weight of taxation which op-
presses the Stale, aud the remedies for it
Tho wonder is that the people Of this State
pay such taxes year after year without rebel
lion. 1t may almost be said of us, as a writer
in the Edinburgh Review once said Of Eng
land. We have "taxes upon every article
which enters into the mouths, or covers the
back, or is placed under foot; taxes upon eve
ry thing which it is pleasant TO see, hear
smell or taste; taxes upon warmth, light and
locomotion; taxes on every thing on earth
and in the waters under the earth; on every
thing that comes from abroad, or is grown al
home; taxes on the raw material; taxes on
every fresh value that is added to it By the in.
/ dustry oil man; taxes an the sauce which
pampers mans appetite, and The drug that re-
stores him TO health; on the ermne which
decorates the judge, and the rope which
hangs the criminal; on the poor mans salt
and the rich mans spice; on the brass nail,
OF the coffin, and the ribbons of the bride; al
bed or board, couchan. or levant we mus
pay"
An exposure Of this whole subject Of tnxa
ton, an honest explanation Of it, causes, anC
firm recommendation of such remedies a!
any business man would apply in his own af
fairs, would have made Gov Medill tho mos
popular man in Ohio. and he would have de
served his popularity.

Major Riley's Memorial.

Since the presentation of Major RilOy's
memorial "to the Honorable. the House OF
Representatives Of the State Of Ohio" we have
little hope Of the enactment Of the Maine Law
in Ohio. His arguments are awfully convin-
cling; probably more SO, than any that will be
presented before the house during the pres.
ent session.
His FIST proposition is, that the Maine Law
is tyranical. He prOvesthe truth ofthis prop
osition
/. From the fact that he has right t.
buy farm. and cultivate il.
2. That he has right to gather the fruit
Of his labor.
g. That he has right to plant and cult
vate the vine. and "crush the fruit full and
gushing" and after obtaining the juice he
has arightto drink il and sell the surplus tc
any body who will purchase it.
4. He claims the same right with regard to
corn, barley, and sugar-cane, out Of which is
manufactured whiskey, beer and rum.
Which rights he claims, the Maine Law
takes away, and therefore tyranical But the
Majors second argument is still more point

ed and powerfWi. Il is based upon. this prop
osition viz. that Temperance reformers are
grossly Inconsistent. 10 establish this prop
ositoD, he says The temperance rcformers,
"Iake the life they cannot give, and change
the nature Of the laborious OF, or useful COW
into beef the ca.f into veal, the sheep into
mutton, the hog into ham, head cheese, and
their cntrails they stuff with tho chopped up

"Thoy do all this, while they arrogantly
demand the passage Of q law, with penal en-
actments, and penitentiary punishmcnts, TO
prevent your memoralists and every other
cultivator of the soil from changing into drink,
without the loss of blood or life, the products
Of the land arising fom their l bjr."
But the Major, Ike oil of his class, has
made man OF straw, and then exerted all
his power in olisling it. No one denies
tho right Of Major Riley, to own land, and cul-
tivaie corn, barley, sugar cane, or the grape.
Nay more, ifhc seos proper he can manufact-
urs all, or any Of the most yirulcnt poisono,
and he may keep them in his house. In shor,
he may do as he pleases in this respect. And
il he chooses he can eat horse flesh, Dogs,
Cats, Rats, or evon Carrion. But let the Ma
ior bring such articles into the market, and
offer them for sale, and it will cost him moro
than the profit. When the Major proves to
US that the eating Of flesh, is productive OF
drunkenness, of poverty, and murder, then re
will admit that temperance reformcrs are in
consistent in laboring for prohbitory law,
while they continue to eat flesh.
But the Major says that if tea and coffee
were made the universal drink Of Americans,
he could prove "Physiologicolly that the next
generation would be . miserable race of pig
mics or lilIiputians, with courage scarcely suf-
ficent to resist the inyasions of an army oi
mice or rats"
! If this be true, then we know how TO nc.
count for the Majors enormous growM. But
in his case it might be 4 ficult to determine
after all, which has had the most effect upon

begin to suspect that he "kind O. loves it."

The New JudgeShip.

The reason assigned, for the movement now
being made, for the election Of another judge
in this judicial subdivision, is, the great in
crease of civil and criminal business in the
courts Of Common Pleas within the district,
especially in Toledo and Sandusky City, SO
that the work is too laborious for one man to
attend to- If this is true, then there should
be either division OF the judicial district, or
u new judge elected. Every want, in this re-
spect should be provided for;yot unless there
is an absolute necessity for an additional
Judge, the expense of such an Officer sh ould
be dispensed with. For every body knows
that the increase ofjudgcs, or other state Of
fcers add TO the expense, Of the State. And
consequently to our already enormously high
