C0sEaOCtOn and Licking Counties
St;lte Treasurer.

The Coshocton Democrat, speaking of the
500 item charged as a balance in the State
Treasurer's estimate against tho Treasurer of
Coshocton county, says:
"Thc item charged to the Treasurer Of this
county, is claimed by the State Treasurer to be
the amount of a mishtke by himself in making
the calculation, at the time Mr.. Ketchum paid
over the amount due the State last year. Mr..
ketchum is very sanguine that there was no
IN istakc made, and that he owes the State moth
ing. lie has receipts in full, and will not go
behind them, unless clearly convinced that the
Treasurer did cheat himself in the settlement
which cannot be shown"
And the Newark 1lvOcate makes the follow
ing remarks in reference to the alleged balance,
against their late Treasurer:
The State Treasurer, (Mr. Stone,) in his
monthly publication, still persists in alleging
that the Treasurer of Licking county owes the
State three hundred dollars, This allegation
has been made monthly for nearly year, and 1t
is time that 1t should be cleared up. Mr.. Ball,
our late Republican county treasurer, claim that
he has not only paid Mr. Stone all that IS real
ly due him, but that he holds the State Treas
urer's receipt for the money which is nowaleg.
cd to be due. We again repeat, that it is full
time, the dispute should bc brought to an ad'
iustment.

The Difference.

In two years, under the Canal Contracts, the
expenses of keeping the Canals in repair, would
have been two hundred and thirty one thous-
and dollars less than that work is to cost under
Republican rule. Now, if these contracts were
corrupt, dishonest and extravagant, how much
more extravagant, corrupt and dishonest, is Re-
publican rule, which for the same work, in two
years, will cost nearly quarter million more
money to the people? That is the point
Let the tax payers of Ohio set to work, and ap
plying tho simple" rules OF Arithmetic, an
swer this question of the superior honesty o

Auditor Wright on the Cd page Of his late
report states that the balance in the Treasury
on the 10Th November, 1857, should have been
S72G,93S &C, as shown by the books of his Of
flee; and on page 4th the Auditor says that this
"the true balance which should be in the Treas
ry, has been carried forward, as though no de-
facation had ever occurred" In the "Gcner-
al Summary on pages and 5, this is confirm
ed in the detail. On page 8, he states the de-
flcation in the Treasury to be S744,083 81,
which sum he uses to make his actual balance
or "assetts in the Treasury Nov, Is, 1855"
1926, lis s.. Therefore according to his state
ment, there has been abstract ted, not only all
the money in the Treasury, $72G, ,939 GG, but
$17, l43 IS, that never was ut! How can ,his
be? How can the amount of the delacation be
more than the amount that would have been in
the Treasury, if there had been no dcCalcation?
Cypher more, Mr. Wright. Will the Journal
cnlighten us again?--iSlttc8man.

Good News.

The following in relation to the Pan Handle
Railroad, which we find in the Cincinnati Com
mcrcial, of 18th inst, will be good news to
the friends ofthe P. G. & e. Il, r.
There remains now butlitt!e doubt that this
road. and the bridge across the Ohio at Steu-
bcnyilc, will be completed without further de-
lays.
The Western Transportation Company, which
has undertaken to- do the work. has opened an
office in Pittsburgh. for the transaction of brsl
ness relative to the road. Thomas Shabrook
ESQ., late Chief Engineer Oft Western Divi
sion OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, is now upon
the line with a corps of Engineers for the pur
pose of cross sectioning the work preparatory
to its completion. The work is now in hands
possessing the ability and the means to finish
it, and before another year has passed, the pub
lie may expect to see the cars running upon it
between Pittsburgh and Steubenvle. This
will enable the Pittsburgh, Columbus & Cincih-
natl Company to avail of their shorter line so as
easily to make the Express run between this
city and Pittsburgh in tco hours less than is
taken by the present schedule.

OJThe Columbus correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer says that one difficulty to the
passage Of low interest bill is the fact that
there are o number of ten per centers and a few
twenty four and thirty-six-per, centcrs in both

to protect honest industry and legitimate bnsi
ness from the grasp of morciless shylocks and

STRANGE, But TRUE.--It is fact, perhaps
not generally known, that there is living in this
county, a woman who, during the peculiar con-
dition Of her physical and mental organization,
actually breaches sermon! We allude now to
Mrs. Birney, near Tippacanoc, an intelligent
and highly respectable lady, and q member of
the Presbyterian Church. And what renders
the subject stranger still, is that her sermons
are delivered regularly every other Sabbath at
10 O'clock and have been continued for nearly
cglteen gears While preaching she reclires
upon bed, ana occupies that position during
the delivery Of n sermon, which usually occu-
pies about an hour. Her sermons are said to
contain excellent instruction, and to abound
with scYiptural quotations, though when she
rccovers her consciousness she has ne recollec-
ton whatever Of what she has been saying
Several years ago her case excitel the attention
OF several medical gantlomen, who, while they
had the utmost conf lancc in her sincerity,
could give no satisfactory explanation CT the
mystery.

HOME NENNSl

From the Cadiz Republican, lgih inst.
SERIOUS Academia little daughter Of
Mr. Alexander Scott, Of New Rumley in this
county, accidentally caught fire last week, and
was burned so badly that she is not expected to
recover. Her father was lying in the room at
the time the accident occurred, but was so pros
trated by disease as to be unable to extinguish
the famos. The cries of the family soon brou't
aid and with some difficulty the fire was ex-
tinguished The little sufferer was almost
burned to a crisp, and after being placed in a
cradle, the charred flesh Of the face fell Off rem
dorng her most pitiable sight.

HOME LGcTUngS.--We notico that in several
of the surrounding towns and cities, new
feature has been adopted, in maintaining a
for lecturers by profession, who demand fifty
dollars for each lecture, homn talent has been
brought into roquistion to supply the dcsider-
atum. We see no reason why Cadiz might not
bo thus favored. A series OF lectures IN ight be
successfully given here, during the present
Winter, which would be equally instructive
and interesting. Who wilmovo in this matter?

MACHINE SHoP--The proposition to estab-

from our citizons generally. All admit that
such an establishment is much needed in this
locality-that it woald benefit the town and

surrounding counties, and that it would pay
Such being the case we think that any man, or
company of men who would undertake to es-
tablish such shop here, would meet with en-
couragomcnt and aid at the hands Of our citizens
