This question is daily ~propounded to the
Union Republican party Of Ohie. An ar
ray of names has been presented, in few
Instances very excellent and capable gen.
tlemen, in other cases the parties do MOI
range above ~mediocrity. 1t IS a pity the
offc &c of Governor of Ohio should be so
little to be desired that the ablest men of
the State can scarcely be induced to ac-
cept it. The parsimony of the people of
this the third State in the Union has
stripped the onice of an adequate salary,
and no man in ordinary peeuniary cir
cumstances, engaged in a profitable bust
ness or professional pursuit, can afford to
place himself N a position that will not
afford a remuneration canmensurate with
his expenses. This is one of the reasons
why the Office is now in search of a suita-
bic candidate. There are plenty of young
and middle aged men in the Republican
ranks who would make excellent Execu.
tive officers, but it is their misfortune, and
the States also, that they are not rich
enough to abandon a well-estahiished, and,
if not a present, at least a prospectively,
lucrative business, for a position that will
hardly afford them their daily bread. In
dividuals should not be required to make
unnecessary personal sacrifices forthe pub
lie Especially is it unnecessary for the
wealthy State of Ohio to dole out q mig
gardly pittance to! Is Governor. The ad-
dition of at least five thousand dollars to
his salary would not add a feathers
weight to our State taxes, snd would ena-
bic men of moderate means, but superior
talents, to serve the Interests of the State

The Crisis.

1t is doubtless to what may be term
ed moral causes, that the great number Of
DISASTROUS fires occurring now throughout
this country is due. Insurance to an un-
limited amount is easily and chesply pro-
Tided. Security begets carelessness, and
oVer-insurance opens the door and offers
an inducement to fraud. And then falling
markets and prospective commercial loss,
brings the harvest Of fires
Fire raising has become q frequent crime,
and q business with g gang of swindlers
who arrange fires for the purpose of plum
der, or with q view of ~defrauding 1nsur-
ance Companies. From these causes many
sound and reliable Insurance Companie,
have Withdrawn from the business, during
the past few months; in order to save their
capital. And other Companies, not pos
sessed of bona Jfde cash capitals, have e1-
ploded-
a fire occurred last Friday night, April
18th, at Chicago. Three business houses
destroyed. Loss S1S5,OOO. G~oodspeed and
OttaEay, who were part owners, are both
under arrest charged with having fred
the building.
At a recent FIRE at Petersboro, Highland
County, Ohio, it appears that the iacen-
diary frat took, from his safe, money de-.
posted by other parties, and then fred his
own store. Result is, ne loses his stock,
building, dwelling, Insurance and S4.1o0
cash. And he probably goes 10 the Ohio
PenitentlAry for q prolonged residence.
Losses in Maine, this year, by fire, have
been terrible-and they are putting the
rascak through. George W. Jones has
been sentenced in Portland, Maine, to be
hanged for arson. This crime, the mali
cious burning of property, cften results in
a terrible destruction Of life, and is punish
able in some States, by death. Like muir
der, arson is a crime that .win ont" Let
the citizens offer proper rewards, and the
evidence, direct or cireumstantial, Will
point out the guilty. Sooner or later they
wiz be found out if proper efforts are
made.
This town is known throughout the
country for frequent and very destructive
fires. Now whenever 3 fire occurs in
Warren, and the cause of the fire appears
to be unknown, let our civil authorities
offer q liberal reward. Let this be under
stood, that the citizens are determined,
and We know that the villains will be
caught, and we shall have q less number
of fires to record. Gun rates of Insurance
viii become less, and Warren will have
an opportunity to acquire a notoricty for
something else than frequenta and destruct-
i've fires.
