GENERALI.R. SHERWOOD.

We perceive that many Republican
papers in Northwestern Ohio have men.
toned the name of General SHERWOOD FOR
Secretary Of State. The General has been
for several years identified with the Re,
publican Press of this District, and has
rendered good service in advancing the
general cause, and withall is highly com
peteut for the office. On these grounds,
had we no other wo should solicit the
suffrage Of the State Convcntion IN his
favor; but thero arc other motives to
warrant our support which no patriotic
man may disregard, lie has faithfully
served our common country during the
lato terrible struggle and from the position
Of private he has honorahy risen 10y

It's conclusions we cordially endorse:
We arc Informed that tho friends of
General Isaac Il. Sherwood, of Williams
county, will present his name to the Re-
publican State Convention as candidate
| Tor secretary OF Stalc, AllnoNcn TINS Is
the first public announcement Of such de-
| sgn, we have reasons for tho belief that
General Sherw)od's name will be received
with much favor wherever known, and
especially in Northwestern Ohio. OF his
htuess for tho place, no acquaintance can
entertain u doubt, while in personal char,
aeter, loyalty 90 the Uuion at home and in
the field, and in sound political principles
none can excel him, Entering the army

neatly every position from tho rauks to the
command of his regiment Tho lllthl, ant

We feel every assurance, that North
western Ohio will be a unit in the preson
tation of the name of General Sherwood
aud in view of the very meaSre representa-
lion of this section in the State House
especially uuder Republican rUlo, we eau
not doubt that such request will b,
honorsd by tho delegates from the otae

MIR. MAMs INrERRsT DILI.

Theiqtestibh is often m0otel Why the
State Yf Ohio. with all its geographical and
local advantages, has failed in scouting
the investment of outside or Of foreign
capitalt The answer Is simply that the
local rate Of interest, six per cent, does
not otadequately Compensate capitalists. In
consequence thereof, the n,oiUs operdndi
adopted by parties needing money is such
as no frank or honorable man desires. lie
is obliged'to resort to acts Of secrecy and
stratagem to accomplish that which should
be left merely to the act of his own judg.
ment, iL 1Ds 7""' ~
This Bill'of Mr.. HALL's, if II becomes the
law, will obviatc many of the financial diff.
culties we have adverted to, and will
furnish sufficient Inducements for eastern
or foreign capitalists to loan their money
in this Stale, thus aiding in the develop.
ment of its general and special interests.
1t lisa noticeable feature of this bill that
itproposes to deal only with engagements
between parties under special contracts; in
all other cases Ae interest remains as il
now is at six per cent, The provisions of
the bin are so reasonably just, and neccs.
Sary, that we really hope it will become
the law.
Mr.. HALL deserves much credit for this
aud other measures of q highly practical
character, one of which tho road law hus
been of great benefit to this county. Uuder
its provisions during tho year 1867, u
larger amount of necessary improvements
have been made in the roads of this county
than has beon effected during many years
previous. The, repeal Of that law would
be highly detrimental 10 our progress and
our prosperity. Good roads, are Tia,
crying necessities o! this county. Will
proper and ready facilities for reaching
markets, the wealth. population and gen
eral prosperity OF Wood County will amaE
ingly advance. :
