of them had "a pig which had an inveter-
ate propensity to perambulate in the gar-

den complained, but his neighbor insisted
that the garden fences were not In good
repair. One morning, as the pig was taxi
ing his usual rounds, he was surprised In
the very act of roofing aup some valuable
bulbous roots. this act was the ''last fea-

fork. At the coming election, the owner
of the garden was candidate for the Le-

the quarrel would have voted for him,

ship was said to be as follows: Having one
day mounted his horse, with only one

The morning of every day is the begin
ming of every mans life. One of your
greatest errors, for l know you well, and
do not mean to fatter you-one of your
greatest errors is, that you do not seize on
these beginnings of life so early as you
might do. You lived yesterday to good
old age, and died last night after the pow
ers of your mind and body were entirely
exhausted. But must remind you, my
friend, that you have spent the greater
part of the youth of this day in the state
of the dead. The great business of your
life was up before you; you have been
running after it this whole afternoon, and
| am afraid youIwill not overtake it till
old age overtakes you.

Eltors Ohio Statesman:
notice in the Journal Of last evening" card
signed by Thomas lIeaton, and Z. NJ. Gregory,
formerly officers of the City Bank of Cincinnati,
in which they declare that if Governor Chase
gave letter to Mr.. Bresin, recommending q
deposit in that institution, that they are not a
ware of it. Although this is far from being a
denial of the fact, it is intended evidently to be
used as ''reIutation," and as the charge was
originally made upon my authority, | deem il
not improper for me to assign my reasons foI
making it. ..... .r
Some time last winter, MIR. Breslin in CONVEX.
sation with myself regarding the losses to- the
State by deposits with Banks, remarked that il
was impossible to withstand the opportunities
ofbankers aud politicians and further alluding
to the City Bank deposit, he produced letter
from Governor Salmon ?. Chase, recommend
ing deposit of the State funds in The City
Bank of Cincinnati, which letter he informed
me he was about to show to the Finance Com
mittee urged him to make it part of his
answer to the interrogatories of the Committee
In reply he said that he could not, as Governor
Chase although political opponent was aper.
sonal friend and furthermore that Chase con
troled several influential Republican Newspap
CTS, among WHICH was t'e ot"Uo ooul nal, al U
which were friendly to him. but which if he
made public Mr.. Chase's letter, would all be
down on him.
will add that when Mr.. Taylor Of Mahonine
chairman of the Finance investigating Commit.
tee, was in this city, a short time since in at
tendance as witness before the Grand Jury o
Franklin county, he acknowledged that he wa'
aware of the existence ofsuch letter.

TEEN MONTHS after the passage Of Kelley's
great yet in some particulars detective law?-
That the faithful and thorough execution Of
this law was neglected by Gov. Chase and the
other Republican officers of State, Is too trans
parent to admit of successful contradiction
The only evidence to be discovered in any Ex-
ecutive report showing that it received even the
slightest attention, is limited to meagre and
beggarly statement Of a few lines slipped in at
the foot of the 18th page of the Auditors annu-
al report for 1856. Although that document
covers some EIGHTY PAGES yet in that
large space only eight lines are spared to the
great subject of the Treasury and the iinpor-
tant provisions of the new statute which give to
the Governor and Auditor the means of al,0ays
knowing its true condition!
But the wonder does not stop here. Gov.
Chase is even in worse predicament. In the
entire length of his voluminous message to the
State Legislature, there is not to be found a
single line in reference to the utility Of the Trea-
sury law or to the execution Of the duties which
IL imposes lie Is 0e11-Steht ou 'hc suDJec|
either ignorant or Indifferent to its Importance.
And yet in the face of facts like these the pub
lie is told by the Chase organs and Chase STUN
peLs, that he did his duty! The politicians Of
the Republican party may insist and persist in
this affiirmance, but from their verdict in the
matter, we chcerGully take an appeal to far
thinking men of all parties-to those who pay
the taxes of the State, and who have right to
expect and demand that where suitable laws
are passed for the protection of the Treasury,
they shall be faithfully executed and observed,
even though "bleeding Kansas" should thereby
receive less than customary attention. Neo0arh
