Ras. The National lntelligencrr intimates
that President johnson prior to the meeting
Of Congress, will issue proclamation "recog-
nizing the reconstructed States as again in
practical relations with the National Govern
ment, and consequently that it will be the
duty Of tho Clerk of the House Of Congress,
to rlace the names of the representatives
from these States on his initial roll,--thereby
enabling them to take part in the organiza-
ton of the House, instead of Congress being
first organized and afterward passing on the
proper and constitutional relations which the
representatives Of States lately in rebellion
bear to the country. Rumor has it that the
Iatelligencer is semi officially the organ Of
the Government, which gives its statements

aY' The astu.e Secretary of tho United
States Treasury, will probably present to Con.
gress Il scheme for funding " moeiy of the
public debt; he will probably propose funding

interest averaging 81 per cent at 5 to 5l per

1t is believed in financial circles that his
plan is entirely feasable, taking into considcra-
ton the improved condition of the country
and the further fact, that the time is about at
hand when the Government according to the
terms on which the leans were made, can re-
tire them from the market.

The Ohio Monument Fund.

The death of His Excellency Governor
Hon. G. Volney Dorsey, Treasurer, of the
Ohio Monument Association, rendered neces.
sary a reorganization of the Executive Com
mittee. At regular meeting of the Com.
mittec, therefore, held at the office of the Sec.
rotary on the 10Th day Of September, 1865,
His Excellency Charles Anderson, Governor
Of Ohio, was elected President, J.. J. Janney,
Esq, Treasurer, and C. S. Dyer, Esq, Secrc-
tary
The design Of the Association not being
clearly understood by the people Of the State,
this is deemed fitting opportunity to give a
more complete statement than any yet made
of the object sought tobc accomplished by the
Society. a 'fr' T., '.f'
The State of Ohio acknowledges no second
place in loyalty and devotion to the country
during the struggle of the past four years. -
In the cabinet and in the field her sons have
won proud pre-eminence, while her people
have ever responded with cheerful prompt
ness to every call by the government for as
sistancc. The blood of her sons enriches the
soil of every State that rcbelled, while the
ravages of disease and the rigors Of o. barbar.
GUS foe transferred many of her soldiers from
loathsome prisons to patriot graves. TO these
men we would rear some fitting memorial,
telling to future generations and to the world
the story of their heroic deeds and unexam.
lpled sutferings It is thesdesign:of the Asso-
citation to erect near the Capital.of the State
a monument which shall perpetuate the men,
ory of these fallen braves in an appropriate
manner, and stimulate those who come after
us to initiate their example. st .s.s
Another object we also have in view
Abraham Lincoln, of blessed memory, was
honored, and trusted, and loved by our peo.
tple, as no other man was ever honored, trust
ed and loved. And when, after leading us
safely through the terrible pilgrimage OF the
past four years, to the glorious vision of peace
in the near future, he was foully murdered by
the lurking assassin, without being allowed to
enter upon and enjoy the peaceful scene be.
yond, there was grief in every loyal house
hold in our commonwealth. We mourned as
never people mourned before. As We hon
ored him living, wewould honor him dead
10 his memory we propose to Greet asnonu
ment, which, while it shall bear witness to his
virtues and his worth, shall also plead, trum
lpet-tongued, against the deep damnation O.

It will be seen, therefore, that we propose
the erection Of two monuments, the subscrip
