1t has been seen, by the first general
statement at page 4, that the receipts and
disbursements of 1865 ARE alike greatly in
excess over those of 1854. This result is
to be partly accounted for,
LIST. By the fact, that though the rates
of levy were the same, the valuations for
taxation were much larger in 1856 than
those of 1864.
I'd. The appropriations of 1865, were
much greater than those of 1864. This
must be a satisfactory reason to the Gene
raj Assembly.
Sd. The Soldiers Claim Fund (S227,-
572 9l) passed through the Treasury in
1865, and did not in 1864.

These large differences, Of course, go
very far to explain the aggregate differ
ence of these balances. How far they can
reconcile the taxpayers to the excess, is
for them to decide. 'J

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR OF STATE.
The patient research, great labors and
Iseful suggestions, (which in the main, 1
approve) in the annual report of

flee. The present condition and future
prospects Capabilities rather) of our State
are therein shown to be most en-
ouraging indeed. If any systematic
fort is to be made, to recover and retain
)hio's proper share of the immigration, 1

nent of money and labor, for the General
Assembly to cause to be prepared and cir
ulated in Europe and elsewhere an alb
