Governor Tod About to Overhaul and
Correct his Blue Book.


The excitement In the Administration party
of Ohio, growing outot the recent State Audit
orshib imbroglio, is about to culminate In the
removal of Abolition offieeholders Of Republic
can descent, as we are informed. Several of
these gentlemen have demonstrated through
the columns Of the Cincinnati Commercial, and
other papers Of that class, that Governor ToD
has appointed disproportionate number of
them to fst places, and that the so.called "Un-
ion Democrats" have been "left out in the
cold' to an alarming extent. II he's reached
our ears, that the Governor will soon remove q
number of neutrality-suspicious., and appoint
"Union Democrats" in their places so that it
may no longer be charged that but one of his
appointees In and about the State House has
Democratic antecedents 1t is understood that
the Governor, as matter Of justice, will make
equitable distribution of the offices under his
control. Not having done that, during the
first year Of his administration, as be learns
from the communications written by bis Re.
publican friends and published in the journals
Of his party, he deems il his duty to overhaul
and correct his Blue Book"

In the report Of Qusriermaster.G Genera
WnIeHT to the Governor, for 1862, the follow

Fund: F"
One other responsibility has been thrown upoI
this Department., for which 10 provision hal
been made by legislation, nor could the neces
sity have been well anticipated.
Under the regulations for drafting the mill
tia of the State, provision was made for the ex.
emption of members Of religious denomination
" conscientiously opposed to military duty"
upon the payment lof two hundred dollars =
There has been paid into my hands on this &C.
count the sum OF $40, ,539 35, which is now on
deposit subject to your control.
We are informed upon good authority that
there was paid on account OF the exemption
above stated, in Holmes county, fourteen thou
sand dollars; in Montgomery six thousand, and
In Darke three thousand, making in these three
counties, twenty three thousand dollars, or near
y one-third the sum reported as received in the
Whole State. If the other counties contributed
10 this Conscientious Fund" in anything
ike the same ratio as the three we have named,
he sum received must have been nine or ten
lines greater than that reportsd by the Quarter
MASTER General. At all events, some explana.
Ion seems to be necessary as to the conscien-
ious management In regard to the " Conscien.

and Il may we'll have been thought by tho EM-
peror of the French, In the earnestness OF his
benevolent desire for the restoration Of peace,
a feasible one.
Bot when M. Drouyn de L'Huys shall have
come to review u in the light in which IL must
necessarily be examined in this country, j think
he can hardly fail to perceive that Il amounts
TO nothing less than proposition that while
this Government 10 engaged In suppressing an
armed insurrection, with the purpose OF main
tanning constitutional national authority and
preserving the integrity Of the country, 1t shall
enter into diplomatic discussion with the In
surgents upon the questions whether that au-
thority shall not be renounoed, and whether the
country shall not be delivered over to disunion,
to be quickly followed by an ever increasing
anarchy. - sr yt-
If we understand Mr.. SEWARD, his main OBJ
lection to the proposed Commission or Confer
ence is that It would involve the discussion Of
the question whether the integrity of the Union
can be maintained. That question he inti-
mates should not be raised, because the Gov
ernment 10 engaged in war for the single pur-
pose of sustaining CONSTITUTIONAL national au-
thority in order to preserve the integrity Of the
country, that Is, of the Union. This is the
view the Administration wishes foreign powers
to take of it's acts. Whether these acts justify
this view is another question,

Negro immigration into Ohio.

Petitions were presented and referred in the
Legislature on Tuesday, signed by t,Oelos hun
dred and fourteen citizens, asking for law to
prohibit the further immigration Of negroes and
mulattoes into this State. More or less peti.

eighty thousand citizens of Ohio have already
petitioned this General Assembly to pass such
a law, and yet the majority manifest the most
obstinate disregard of the popular will in this
matter. But day Of reckoning will come
