Next GovERNoR.-Governor Cox
the present Executive officer of this
State, we understand does not
wish the nomination for reelection
to the office which he has filed with
so much ability and satisfaction to
the people of the State, In this
event it becomes necessary to cast
shout for a candidate with requisite
qualifications for the office, to be
presented to the Union State Con
Vention as a candidate for our next
Governor. We have in the Union
ranks many gentlemen who would
do honor to the gubernatorial office
of Ohio. Men who in that caplci-
ty would serve the people honestly
faithfully, and to the best interests
OF the people Of the State. Among
this class Of gentlemen, we would
name Honorable Samuel Galloway,
of Columbus. Mr.. G. is well known
to the people of the State, and dur
ing all. the trials and Affections
through which our State and nation
have passed, he has been true to
the great Republican principles of
our Government, true to the prin-
ciples of the Great Union Party,
and ever ready to perform his duty
in sustaining his country against
rebel influence.
But Mr.. Galloway is too well
known in Ohio and his merits are
so well appreciated by the generous
noble hearted people Of Ohio, that
anything We could say as to his mer-
its would be useless. When we say
that there is strong desire to see
him nominated for the Office of
Governor, we speak what we believe
to be the sentiment Of large por-
ton, if not all the Union men of

half per cent. for each end Of the
road" l wonder if the Clerk ofthot
Board of Assessors didn't commit
mistake, and instead Of putting
half Of the average per centage OF
assessment on the property Of
Washington, he simply charged
half per cent. on the duplicate val.
uation. The average tax on the
Columbus road is about equal to
four per cent. on the valuation OF
their lands, two per cent. or half OF
that per ccntage on the property OF
Washington, $242,55O 90, will pro
duce 1881 90, about enough to
pay for miles Of the road; that
will help to make up the tax that
would he lost by the division Of the
lands between the roads.
For the sake of illustrating more
fully the blundcrs in that appor-
tionment, suppose we regard the
six roads converging to Washing
ton as three whole roads; that
would make about three miles of
road through the Corporation Of
Washington, to be built with the
same amount Of gravel as the bal
ance of the roads, which will cost
in its construction, say about $4,000
per mile, making $4,000 for the
three miles. In addition, let us
view these three through roads as
simply one road, and ask what pro
portion Washington ought to pay
for the whole, regarded as one road.
OF course every citizen ofWashing-
ton would be ready to consent to
the proposition to be taxed at the
same rate as those, who in the
country, are relatively situated as to
to the road. Well, all
the farms along the roads will pay
from eight to nine per cent. upon
their valuation. The real estate Of
Washington, $242,55O 90, at nine
per cent, equals $2l,829 80, from
which, deduct $4,000, cost Of gray
cling three miles Of the streets Of.
Washington, and it leaves $50 1929,
80, out Of which, deduct 81 l0j rs,
I the town apportionment for the
Columbus road) multiplied six
times for the benefit Of the 6 roads, !
equal to $7,174 so, and it leaves
S,G55 90 Of clear gain or cXemp-
tiOn from an equitable share Of tax
alton in favor Of Washington, even
upon the supposition that the ben
eft they derive is only equivalent
to one road. Amt you ashamed
Of your work, Mr.. Clerk? The
next time the County Commission
nrs appoint clerk to assist the
Board Of Assessors they had bet
ter look out for some one whose
views are more comprehensive and

possible almost to lay hands on an
official and not touch a man made
rich by his position. This was
especially the case with the money

at the impunity with which steal

of the Congress that preceded his
death was an investigation into the
cotton frauds, and out of a great
number of permits to steal three
