The Democrats of Ohio enter upon the campaign
with great enthusiasm, and actually threaten to
carry the State for their ticket. The unanimity
with which the candidate for Governor, Hon. Rufus
p. Ranney, was nominated, indicates cordial
agreement, and will golar to enlist the whole party
ardently in his support.
With the large plurality against them for some
years past, the Ohio Democracy have great labor
to perform if they would secure the ascendancy be-
fore or in lS60 but greater political revolutions
have taken place than would be the overthrow of
the opposition in that State.

RErRENcHxExT AND EcoNoMY.-We are
glad to know that there are plans afoot to re-
lieye theoverburdened property owners of our
city and county from their oppressive taxes,
and that after January 1st, 1860, the milleni-
um will commence. Among the plans propos-
ed, are s..asas7s, !s ,..rl s.-.f...c, ~ss
1. The union of the city and county gov
ernments, into, 1.-THE City and County of St.
Pau" thus dispensing with about one-half
the official machinery now so runiously ex-
pensive, and really unnecessary.
p. A reduction of the number of wards in
the city, and a consequent reduction of city
officers, and of salaries -g ,.-. .,- -zz-..
8. Abolition of Aldermen's and Mayors
salaries, except mere nominal pay-and re
vision Of the present expensive Street Com
missioner system, thus saving about six thou
sand dollars per annum. Al
+ So much for cur city and county Retrench-
nents.5 If the State expenses are cut down
| in like proportion--as they can be--taxes
will be reduced fifty per cent, at least. The
| needless macRinery by which we are overbur-
dened win be got out Of the way, and the op,
efations of our State, County and Municipal
Governments carried on with simplicity and
economy The e'good time" cannot be very
far off, when such signs Of returning sanity
are visible.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-A Thanksgiving Day
without sleighing is rather an anomaly in this
country, but yesterday was nevertheless such
an one. The day was gloomy one, and but
little was going on-nearly everybody housed
themselves closely, and except during church
going and coming, but few were to be seen on
the streets.
At dusk the clouds, which had been threat
ening all day, broke in smart shower.
Nevertheless, we presume nearly every
body enjoyed themselves at home, in the usu-
al way, and conformed to the spirit OF the day.
With many it was as much day Of fasting as
of feasting, but the absence Of delicacies on
the table of course has but little to do with
the state of the heart. Probably the devout-
est Thanks were given from the humbiest
dwellings, and the most scanty tables. Those
who live in perpetual plenty and never
know want or the fear of it, are apt 20 forget
to whom they owe their plenty, more than
those sh, live one day without knowing
where the next ,tay supply is to come from.

tanning as they do tine views of other leading men

pipe connecting the cisterns. The overflow of one
cistern feeding the next, and so on, down to Jack

pipe to carry of the overflow of water; until such
time as the City shall build Water Works. when
connection can be made with the cisterns from
the main pipe, by means of arod directly inside
of tie cistern.
After fire plugs shall have been erected, these
cisterns will be found to be OF great advantage,
and in many parts Of the country they are used Ia
preference to a plug. taiak for winter use they
will be eminently adapted to our climate.

The name of Mr.. Forney, Pennsylvania, has
been mentioned in connection with the Clerk
ship of the next House of Representatives,
as the Opposition candidate. Our impress
sion is, that if Mr.. Forney wants the Repub-
lican vote in the House for that Office, he can
have it. If he has friends enough outside Of
that party to elect him, Git will require five
additional votes,) if he does not receive the
whole one hundred and eighteen Republican
votes Of the House, we are mistaken. Such
a step would be a stronger rebuke to the Ad-
ministration than could possibly be given to
it in any other way.-Galena Aduertiser.

The Decay OF Land Monopoly.

..4lg Ine Decay OF Lana monopoly
A quiet, and yet important revolution is go
ing on in our midst continually. 1t is the rev.
olution of property, which is changing hands
in large amounts every day. That old class
who were once so potent here, the heavy
Real Estate Dealers, are fast decaying, and
will soon be numbered among the institutions
of the past Their subdivisions and additions,
and sections, and lots, and blocks, on which
they once based their claims to millionaire
ship, are rapidly melting away, and passing
into other hands. foreclosures Of mortgages,
executions, &C., are doing the business, and
crumbling away the structure of once large
fortunes. To endeavor to retain grasp on so
much property has been an uphill business
The tide was against the unfortunate person
attempting it, and it was but wearing out life
and patience in futile endeavor to keep the
head above water The accumulation of tax
es and of interest added heavier loads to the
burden every day, and one by one the titles
to the different parcels pass into other hands,
until nothing but homestead is left to
the once "heavy operator" ,t'. .aaa
Much of the property thus passes into the
hands ofmoney-lenders, many of whom are
non-residents. They cannot hold it long, for
taxes would eat it up; and are thus COM
PEELED to put it in market at. perhaps price
lower than the supposed real value-but one
approximating nearer to it than it was held at
by the original owners, who would not i'm
prove it themselves, or sell for q reasonable
sum to those who would The property thus
passes finally into the hands of those who
should own it-a class who will make it valu-
able and productive-who would have done
it long ago but for the ruinous policy which
prevailed. The homeless have better chance
to get homes now than ever before, and the
real estate owner who insists on his old exor-
bitant figures, overreaches himself by his own
cupidity. ''Things is workin'," and the ''rev-
olution" in ownership is one of those things
that is workin for a future real prosperity
which is commencing even now, in cause,
though the effect is not perceptible just yet.
