says the stock market continues in a
condition bordering closely on panic.
The inherent motives ofinterest, which
have, for some time bolstered up prices

gold and the important proposals pre-
sented to Congress to fix the future reg
ulations of prices.

desire to realize upon, except Erie and
N. Y. Central, which are sustained by a
liability to demand for cash stocks at

In all the other stocks the sales were
large at the Board, and declined ON an
average of 1Sa2c rs compared with last

Gov. Cox inaugural address Is limi-
ted to declaration of general prfhci-
pies that governs affairs, and a state
ment of \ political problem to be work
ed out, but does not lay down specific
measures for accomplishing these OBJ
jects. He says the one great doctrine
which has been settled by the war is
that the National Union cannot be de-
stroyed by the action of any of the
States composing 10, but the eontin-
uancs Of its notifications, or the disco
luton shall be determined by the
whole people acting rs one nation nm
der forms of the Federal Constitution,
and shows the absurdity of raising the
question already settled by the high ar
bitrament of. the nation, and putting IL
in jeopardy before trial by Jury. The
Governor concludes by saying that the
late war has brought great burdens
upon our State, but its prosperity has
been such that they have been borne
without impoverishfn gorstrainingpuIJ-
lie resources. Ohio, the first born ofthe
ordinance of 1857, has been true 10 the
principles ofthat great act ofstatesman-
ship which dedicated the great north
western territory to freedom and free
labor. and now more than ever before
is realizing the benefits of the wisdom
which then launched her upon career
