ASTONISHING DIscLosURE!-We call the
attention of the people of Ohio, of all par
ties, tothe astounding disclosure made in
the House Of Representatives yesterday
1t is fact that since the close of tho last
fiscal year, Gath Nov.,) there has been
drawn from the public treasury, on account
ofthe Board Of Public Works, the snug lit
tie sum of ONE HUNDRED AND SEW
EN- THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!!!-
This, be itrememtered, at season Of the
year when comparatively little was doing in
the way of repairs. How is thisl Who
will explain it To what use has this a.
mount Of the peoples money been applied!
Why was it not included in the official re-
port of the expenditures Of the past year!--
1t will be aeen, from this showing, that the
proceeds of the public works Of tho State
are being exhausted by those having charge
of the works, and the amount of their ex-
.penditures kept back from the public until
after the nominating convention, by which
one Of the members ofthe present Board is
presented for reelection!
People of Ohio! think of these things!--

HUNGARIAN, Love OF KossUTH.- Mr..
Brace, who has Travelled through Austria
and Hungary, is now lecturing on those
countries, In late lecture on Hungary,
he thus speaks of Kossuth and the Huuga-
Next TO their attachment TO their country,
is their attachment to Kossulh. Ii is car
ried even to superstitious reverence among
the ignorant classes. They believe thut in
the spring he will come in the clouds with
army 10 deliver them. All manifest this
wonderful feeling for the exile, personal
attachment for the great Magyar. Kossuth
in Hungary and Kossuth in America are Two
different men,. He has remarkable versalil-
ity of talent; but he shines best in his ma
tive language. 1t il crime for a Hunga-
rian to possess portrait Of him; and there
is scocely church in which prayers are not
continually offered up for him. His pres
ence at this time would rulse whirlwind Of

advocating the cause of Kossuih, and afor
having been whipped several times, was
called to recnni, when he said, "My back
belongs to the Emperor, but my heart to Kos

Go To CHuRcH.-Itis is the duty Of parents
to see that their children attend the public

Nothing acts more unfavorably on the moral
habits and character Of IN individual than
habitual absence from the house of God.
We do not act the part of good parents

The BoARp OF CLAIMs. are glad to
see that the attention Of Congress is again
to be called to the subject OF establishing a
Board of Claims, upon whom shall devolve
the examination and settlement of all pri-
sate claims against the United State
The necessity Of such bureau, department
or commission has long been apparent, and
the thousands who have fruitlessly, and at
vast expense, pressed for the settlement of
their claims have righttO demand it as an
act Of common Justice. II will be recol-
lccted probably that during President Fill
more's administration, a bill for the construc-
tion Of such board passed the Senate, and
was defeated In the House of Representa-
iiyes, not, we believe, upon its merits, but
because OF some jealousies about the patron
age IL involved. Now, however, such an
impediment can scarcely be interposed, and
wo hope no other will arise to the prompt
action Of Congress upon that subject. The
lack of such an institntion has been, and
mustcontinue to be, the source ofmnch evil
It is great hndrance to the work Of legis.
lation, and to public business generally,aud
yet, being subordinate to these, the examin'
ution of private claims is not, and cahnot be
efficient and satisfactory, so that grossin'
Justice is done TO claimants, as well as to the
people at large. All this might be obviat.
ed, easily and speedily, by the creation o
bureau whose business should be exclu
sively that Of arranging, examining and Il
