WHY Ihc Great Hurry.
Sals Treasury and Trust Company Whe
IS G0perEor Chase.

MGis Treasury and Trust Company Where
as GouerEor Chase.
Our readers have been advised that, on the
receipt Of the news Of the failure OF the
Agency Of the Trust Company, the Auditor
of this State left Columbus by the first train
for New York. 1t was given out at the time
that the State was indebted TO the Agency,
and could not, therefore, be a loser But
the idea that the Auditor, and egent of the
debter, shsuld be SO alarmed ct the failure Of
the creditor as to make him haste with light.
hing speed to the scene of trouble, was too
ridiculous to deceive any one.
We are now informed from a private
source that the State has from one to one and
| a half millions deposited with the Trust
| Company Agency for the redemption of the
bonds Of the State due January lst, 1867. -.
! IF that be true, ard we have no reason to
doubt, the sudlcnness Of cur Auditors depar.
ture is readily explained. ...
But where is Governor Chase! Had he
not better give some attention TO the finan'
| cial interests of the State just at this time,
/ and let Kansas and the social and political
rights Of the blacks slide for a awhile! We
think he may be able a that way 10 do his
constituents some substantial service.
The loss Of million or a million and O
half, on the back of the lately discovered
robbery Of the State Treasury, will be a
serious blow to the credit of the State, and
cause its stocks to fall considerably below
par. We hope the Auditor, who is now in
New York city, may soon be enabled to re-
iicve the anxiety that must be felt by the
tuX.payng citizens of Ohio in reference to
this reported loss Cincinnati Eaqnirer.

Gov. Chase FOrCstaIling thc Trial
of Gibson.

In July last, the Grand Jury of Franklin
county, on their solemn oath, presented two
indictments against William II. Gibson for
embezzlng the public funds whilst he was
Treasurer of State. Although Gibson's S
trial for the offence, is yet to take place,
Gov. Chase during the last two weeks has
been travelling over the length and breadth
O. Ohio, vehementy asserting the innoceEce
Of Gibson and thereby forestalling the action
Of the court on final trial. How is it to be
supposed that the State can obtain justice, il
the highest officer of the Stale, in advance
Of the trial, throws his whole weight in favor
Of Gibson, and induces his party friends to
PREJUDICE the merits of the case! Or, il
Gibson shall be convicted, how can it be ex-
pected that Chase, haviAg declared the feI.
low to be innocent, will keep him in the
Penitentiary!
How different is the. course pursued by the
Democrats! They condemn Broslin IS well
as Gibson, and make no appeals to save the
one any more than the other. On the con-
trary, they have declared their belief through
solemn resolution Of their State Convcn.
lion, that both have been guilty Of embezzle
ment, and that both should be sent to thc
Penitentiary.--Ncwark Advocate.

The Portage Democrat has an article ar

LYMAN w. HALL is sworn member of

Timunccs Of Porsagc County.

We call ottertion to The following, which
is one Of the resolutiods, adopted by the
Democratic Convention which assembled
here, on the 18th inst:
Reso!0el, That the plan of conducting the
financial concerns of the county, by borrow
ing moneyto defray the expenses of the
county and thereby creating county debt
which has been adopted by the present Re.
Iublicpn officers of Portage, meets with our
utter condemnation. 1t is bad policy to les.
sen the present burdens of the tex payers,
by doubling them in future.
1t is a startling fact. that the Treas
ury Of Portage County, is empty, and that
during the past year, i. has created debt,
the interests and principal of which, will be
a burden for the Taxpayers of Portage
county to pay in future. Tic exact condi-
ton Of tlirgs n ay be determined by the
statement Of a few facts.
One year ago last June, there was eur
plus in the County Treasury, amounting to
$9,iG5,4l. The takes levied in tie ccun-
ty, fer the fiscal year ending in June last,
amounted to the sum Of $60,l8l,S5. These
two SUNS added 10 gcther make $50, ,277 &c
as the amount which cume into the county
T rctsury by legitimate means, for the year
cHding June, 1856. BY The 4th day ot
Jurc, Il is large sum was entirely exhausted
The Treasury was empty. The commss-
toner's, as last resort, J0rroUed SiXtcen
Hundred Dollars of Sylvester Huggins.--
Add ing this last item to the former, and VIC
have $SO,977,26, as tie total resources ot
tie county for the year.
Contrast The condition of the treasury one
year ago with that in which we fiud it now.
Then we were out Of debt and had nine
thousand dollarr Of surplus money. Now
'"e have heavy debt upon us and an empty
treasury.
The indications at present are, that an.
other year will add ten fold to the indebted
ness of the comfy.
BY the notice Of Lyman Bryant, Trcosu
rer, jest published, we frd that the total tax
ilcVied on the Trc asurers duplicate for 1887
is $79,lG445,4. This includes q tax @
! $4,000 Tor building a school house in Ra
ycuna. Gupposin1 that the amount ot mon
cy required for the county, is as great fc!
The year 1877 as it was for the yctr 1856
aside from the Ravenua School tax, then the
sum required for tie present year, would be
$90,977,2G. To tbs should be added The
Ravcnna School Tax, Of $4,000, making
S95. .97T,2G. Subtracting the amount lev.
led ($79 ,lG4,4 ,45,) from tie amount actually
required, ($95, ,077s26) and you have $lG,.
6l2,6l as the debt v hich will be crested in
the year 1857. This, together with SLIGO,
principal and interest OF the present indebt-
edness. renders the total indebtedness OF tie
year 1867, &l8,5T2,8l. Are the pCo lie OF
Portage County favorable to tie policy Of
borrowing money and paying interest! II
SO, they can manifest it by voting to keG p
Republicans in power.
p. S.--Since writing the above, we Lave
referred to the Auditor sBooks, aad find that
the amount of money borrowed of Sylvester
Huggins was $4,000 instead of $780,,
Tie rate of interest is ten per cent. per
annutl.
