lies, are supported from the School
Tax OF the eight millions Of taxes,
only eight hundred thousand, or one
tenth part Of the whole is raised for
the support of the State Government,
which includes all our great public in
stitutions.
Looking at the subject fairly, it may
be said that the State Government Of
Ohio is very economically administered
There are no oxtravagant salaries or
profuse expenditures of any kind In
deed, our Judges, Governor, and Exec
utive officers generally, ought. I'm this
day of high prices, to receive more than
they do.
The Public Debt of Ohio is held bv a
great number Of persons, and it may be
a matter Of interest to know in what
quarters it is held The following is
an abstract Of the localities in which
the Public Debt Of Ohio is held:
Inc Britain, by 228 persons. 80. .838. 600
In Isle Of Guernsey, 20 persons, g7.4s7
In Switzerland, by l18 persons, 5OO,8Is
in France, by 1873 persons, 1861 900
The largest part Of the Public Debt
Of Ohio is held by the Banks of Ohio.
and the Savings Bank Of New York
There is one characteristic of the Pub
lie Debt Of Ohio, which is the highest
possible evidence Of the credit enioyed
by the people of this State in all quar-
tcrs. The investment in Ohio Stocks
is made by the most cautious persons.
The Savings Banks, the frugal Swiss,
the mobiles of Europe, and the Bour-
geois Of Paris, Cfcarful Of revolution)
have invested their money in the Banks
Of Ohio. There is faith in Ohio, where
there is faith in nothing else This is
a noble reputation, which we trust will
be maintained throughout all future
generations.
Our public debt is diminishing. and
with good care, we can in a few years
| pay it off, We can afford to give away
our public works, and pay our debt, for
they have yielded ten-fold their value.
Taken in reference to all the objects OBJ
talned, our taxation is low and the re-
suits great. We may look with pride
upon the financial history Of Ohio, and
point coming generations to the sue
cessful example Of their fathers.

note Of his poetry:

Which softly melt the ages through,
The song Of Sponsors golden days,

To breathe their marvellous notes tryi

In silence feel the dewy showers,
And drink, with glad, still lips the blessings
Of the sky.
The rigor Of frozen cline,
The harahuess Of an untaught ear,
The. iarriug words OF one whose rhyme
Beats ollcu labor's hurried time,
Or duty's rugged march, through storm and

The secrets Of the heart aud mind;
To drop tho plummet-Iiue below

A more intense despair or brighter hope to fnd
Yet here at least an earnest sense
Of human right and veal is shown
A hate Of tyranny intense,
And hearty I'm its vehemence,

Spiritualism Explained.


Rev. j H. Hall, Of Kittanning
Pa, processes to have found a method
not only Of exposing the tricks of char
latan Spiritualists, but Of accounting,
on scientific principles of his own de-
veIopement, for all the so-called "spir-
itual' manifestations that may not be
attributed to juggIery and fraud He
acknowledges the geuuineness Of many
OF these strange manifestations, but
takes the ground that the power sup
posed to be exercised by the spirits, is
physical emanation from the human
body and claims to show where IL exists
and how to neutralize or paralvze its
power. lie calls his system TOlgv01o-
~ The New York Journal Of HraW
speaking Of this matter says:
sit appears that Mr.. Hall believes
that the tables do move: that such mo-
ton is not the result Of spiritual coop
Grafton, but Of an emanation, like, pos
si5ly, to that which took place when the
Savior 'PerceiCed that Urtus had gone
ont Of him Power goes from the
magnet and affects a needle at some
distance from it, Who can say that
similar power may not go ont Of man
and affect inert matter distant from
him, without his touching it2 We do
not say this is so. We say that it is
possible. We do not doubt that
Miss Beecher rode around a room on
a table, without her collusion. g
point of enquiry is, "by what powor?"
If Mr., Hall can explain satisfactorily
the seat Of that power, and can 90
step further, and counteract it, it is Ger
tainly one of the most important addi-
tions yet made in reference to so-called
'Spiritualism.' The sentiment of
many is, "H mag be the spirits." They
fear to admit. They will not deny.
"Ihey see spiritualists bringing for F.
ward bushels Of reported facts, and they
hear wise men denouncing both the f.
facts and the reporters Of them, and !.
between their doubts Of the facts and .
the emptiness of the donunciatious, .

most annoying. If Mr.. Hall can show .
us where the power lies, can put the .
wand in our hands, and enable us to ex-
orcise it or eounteract it, that is, give
US the perfect control Of it, then he has
gained an enviable immortality has ac-
2omplished work well worthy Of a
lifetime of labor.
Mr. Hail. we understand, will visit /
This city in Septom Der next, or perhaps
earlier. We regret that we have not
room now, to presentothcr facts brought
forward by Mr.. Hall, but our citizens
IAN make up for the lack by the op-
oortunity of hearing him, and in the
meantime we shall present some other
acts as we find opportunity.
