THE GOyERNoR,s MESSAGE.

The annual message of Governor Cox
was transmitted to the Legislature on
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is brief and
concise, treating only of subjects of pres
ent moment and is in other respects a
model document. The measures re-
commended will, we think, meet with
{ the general approval Of the people Of
the State.
The Governor, after fitting acknowl-
\ edgment of the blessings of peace and
general prosperity, refers 10 the State
finances which were never in as favora-
bic condition as at the present time.
The State credit in the market is declar-
ed to be equal to that of any State Gov
ernment in the world, and the statement
is fully borne out by figures and facts.
The taxes for 1867 for State purposes
Pill be nearly three millions less than
nose of last year. The estimate for
Ext year is only IS, 251, ,4o4, while the
aggregate for 1865 was S3,445, 40
The local taxes County, Town, DC, for
last year amounted TO over fifteen mil
lions of dollars. The present State debt
amounts to Sl1, 94I, ,745, it having been
reduced 81, ,Os7, 246, during the year.
The present total valuation of property
subject to taxation is SI,l06, 20s, ,92I, of
which the entire State debt is but one
A per cent In this connection the Gov
Fernor recommends that measures be Ia
Y ken fer dividing the burdens OF taxation
more equitably between the classes of
real and personal property.
Among the recommendations made
. in regard to the various benevolent in
stitutions of the State is that of the trial
/ IN the Penitentiary OF the Irish convict |
system, the chief characteristic of which |
is a system ofinstruction in regard to the |
|moral relations of the convict to society; |
with course of discipline calculated to
tpromote reformation. The separation
of the younger offenders from the old is
salso recommended.
The record of Ohio soldiers has been |
completed and its publication is recon-
mended. The operation of the various
&claim agencies under State direction are
&giyen with the statement that more than
Re-half went to paid agents who held
bur more fattering promises, than the
gratuitous agencies. The military claims
fuf the State against the Government
amount to $I,lII, ,O0s, of which $685.
ss5 is for feeding, clothing and equip
ag troops.
q More adequate ssnitary measures are
recommended in view Of the probable
return of the cholera.

|erument in aid of the Agricultural Col

The regular order was Mr.. Stevens, bill
for the reconstruction of the rebelliOus States
and was read by sections. Mr.. Stevens ad-
vocated immediate action III view of the late
decision of the Supreme Court, which he
sid he would not hesitate TO pronounce as
infamous as the Dred Scott case. Congress
must do something TO protect loyal men
! from the barbarism Of the South or be held
responsible TO the civilized world. That de-
cission has taken away the p election ia
every one of the rebel States from every
loyal man, black or white, who resides there
| That decision has uusheathed the dagger of
the rebel assassin aud put it to the throat of
every man who dared 10 proclaim himself
now or heretofore loyal Union man. If
the doctrine of that decision be true there
never were any men in such terrible peril as
our loyal brethren in the South, white or
black, whether originally residents or hav-
ing gone from the North. Mr.. Stevens pro-;
ceeded to read written argument in sup
port of the BILL He described the condition
of aft lirs at the South AID said that oitrages
| were committed by late rebels upon loyal
mep, white and black, and the country in
which such state of things could exist was
net a true republic Congress was bound
by every consideration Of honor and policy
to protect loyal people at the South; all OBJ
stacles standing in the way. Such action
must be removed. The President was Com
mander-in Chief Of the army, but Congress
was his Commander, and he would be
compelled to obey. He and his mnions
must learn ours was not a government of
kings and satraps, but government of the
people, and that Congress was the people.
= at the conclusion Of Mr. Stevens, address
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, offered a substitute for
that of Mr.. Stevens. 1t was ordered to be
printed. .e.. .t
The House then went into a Committee OF
the Whole on the Presidents Message.
Mr. Grinnen being entitled to the floor
yielded to Mr.. Kelley, of Iowa, who made
an elaborate speech, critcisipg in detail the
recent report Of the Secretary OF the Treas
ury. He said that the policy of rapid con-
traction and attempt in the early resumption
of specie payments would end in, the bank
ruptcy of individuals, corporations, and
States and possibly that of the National
Government.
