FUNDED DEBT OF OH

FUNDED DEBT OF OHIO.
The Public Funded Debt Of Ohio.
| Nov. .l5, 1885, was ................S Sl2Sl2.Ol4 45
Since that date there has:been redeemed,
| OF Foreign Debt. $969, ,0S5 "A
| OF Domestic Debt........ 500 90
Amount outstanding Aug. Is. 6s.... $ll S42 400 OF
This sum is divided as follows:
Foreign Debt. III 262 $50 81
| Domestic Debt bt...................... 0eO.OSS AZ
There is now on deposit in New York
the sum of s9S,O2373; for redemption of
Foreign Debt, s3,9O4.s7, and for payment
of interest on Foreign Debt, $l4, 1856. OF
the sum for redemption of the Foreign
Debt $4,000 had been on deposit for over
two years for the payment of bond OF
that amount which became due at that
time, but which from infancy of the heirs
| of the person to whom 1t was issued, had
not been presented for payment until
April IL, 1865.
The $50, 81 is kept for the payment of
bonds that are due, the holders of which
hAsa -hAAn-nntifiad that the pay will De
ready on the presentation of their bonds.
After this notice the bonds do not draw in
terest, and by keeping the money where
the bonds are made payable, this amount
of the Public Debt is practically paid. The
apparent discrepancy between the sum of
$l,027 ,990.Sl in the first statement as the
disbursement for redemption of the Foreign
Debt and the sum of S969 OS544 of bonds
actually redeemed since Nov. To- 1866, is
thus explained. The sum of $14, 1856 for
payment of interests for interest on bonds
not yet presented for the payment OF their
interest, but which may at any time be
presented for that purpose.
The system Of doing business by the
Fund Commissioners is pronounced eff
cient and satisfactory. Careful examina-
ton was made of bonds--and they were
compared with the books. The statements,
as shown by the books of the Fund Com
miss toner's, were compared with the books
in the State Auditors Office, and they were
found to agree.
After a compliment to Mr.. F. A. Marble,
the Secretary OF the Commissioners, for his
promptitude and ability, the Examiners
conclude their report as follows:
1t is gratifying to find that over mil
lion of dollars of our public debt has been
paid since November Is, 1865. The prompt
itude with which Ohio has always met her
obligations, has been matter of just pride
to her citizens. We conclude this report
with expressions Of satisfaction at the
ability and accuracy which has character
lied the Fund Commissioners Department.

HB" Congress took recess from the
2Oih inst, to the Sd p oximo, during which
time some of the Senator's and Representa-
tives will make an excursion to Memphis,

has the following remarks:
"Texas is in position, entirely different
from that OF the other States. She is rep.
resented to be very fearful, we would ask
that these distinguished gentlemen be inyi-
ted over to see our good city and Houston.
They could learn by actual observ alton that
we are not hcathens, that We are quite
harmless
"Let us invite the Governor down, that
he can have good old fashioned talk with
Gen. Sheridan, who does not think we are
any very great shakes, and who, by the way
knows very little of Galveston. He comes
here (knows every foot from the Central
Wharf to Hendquarters,) occasionally and
sleeps over night at the Island City Hotel
has once stretched his little duck legs under
the mahogany of General Nichols. We want
to drink ''to his better acquaintance" to
have him learn more of us. We have a
faith that we would improve on acquain,
lance, and that if they knew us better, be
would ask high rent when he concludes
to live with Pluto and hire us out. The
Council meets tonight, let committee be
appointed to visit Houston tomorrow and
then invite these Congressman to visit our
cities. We are sure that good only will re-
suit from the visit"

BJ-We have received q pamphlet copy
of the Laws relative to asses sment and col
lection of taxes passed by the Eleventh
Legislature, with the Comptroller's lnstruc-
tions to Assessors and Collectors, and sug-
gestions to County Judges, for which we
are indebted to the Hon. W. L. Robards
Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Tax
law levied an ad Udlorem tax of Is cents
on the hundred dollars, the assessment to
be made at specie valuation, but the tax
collected in currency. In addition to this,
the first 1000, one and half per cent on
the second $780, two per cent on the third
fourth and fifth thousand, and on excess
over IS 900, three per cent; on salaries
over $500 one half Of one per cent. The
Occupation Tax levies tax Of $500 per
year on retailers of liquors, 500 per year
on other liquor dealers; $40 per year on
each billiard table; $50 per year on ten
pin alleys and Pedlars 500 per year on
gift enterprises; S. for each theatrical or
circus performance SIS per day on menag-
cries or other shows concerts or intellec-
tual entertainments, aud no license shall
be granted for less term than three
mouths.
The Police or County Courts shall have
power to levy tax equal to one half of the
amount of the State tax. Another law
passed gives the Police Court power to levy
an additional tax for special purposes,
building Court Houses jails &c9) to the
same amount-seven and one half cents on
the hundred dollars.
The act for the assessment and collection
Of taxes is very lengthy, and is more strin-
gent in its provisions than formerly, and
we cannot publish it entire, but we give in
another column the Instinctions TO Asses
sors and Collectors, and the suggestions to
the County Judges.

Why MasOns Celebrate 81. Johns
... Day,

We find in an exchange the fol-
lowing explanation of the reason
why Masons celebrate st. Johns
day, 9th of June, and publish it
Tor the benefit of the unin;tiatcd,
having heard the question frequently
asked:
Masonic lodges in ancient times
were dedicated to King Solomon
Tradition informs us that they were
thus dedicated from the building of
the first temple of Jerusalem, to the
Babylonish captivity. From that
time to the coming Of the Messiah,
they were dedicated to Zcrubabbcl
the buildcrof the second temple; and
from that to the final destruction of
the temple by Titus in the reign of
the Emperor Vcspasian, they were
dedicated to st. john the Baptist.
Owing to the many massacrcs and
disorders which attended that mem
oublc event, Frcemasonry fell very
much into decay. Many of the lodges
were broken up, and but few could
meet with sufficient members to CON
stitutc their legality. Under these
circumstances n general meeting of
the craft was held in the city of Ben
jamin. when it was observed that
the principal reason for tho decline
of Masonry was the want of a Grand
Master to direct it's affairs. They
therefore dcputed seven of their
most eminent members to wait up
on St. John, the Evangelist, who
was at that time Bishop of Ephesus,
to request him to take tho Office of
Grand Master. lie returned for an
swcr that, though well stricken in
years (being upwards of ninety,)
yet having been in the early part of
his life initiated into Masonry, he
would take upon himself that Office.
lie did so, and completed by his
learning what ST. John the Baptist
had accomplished by his zeal. After
his decease, the Christian Lodges
We're dedicated to him and St. John
the Baptist, both of them being re-
garded AZ eminent c christian
patrons of Masonry. Since then
Masons have ever celebrated the
24th Of Juno in commcmoration of
ST. John the Evangelist.
